Beautiful scenery pics, Nerd!

Nerdanel · 09-14-2008, 04:25 AM

Thanks, guys

I found the rainbow at the end of the valley..

Very Lappish colours and plants: Betula, Salix and Sphagnum.

Empetrum nigrum, the crowberry

The barren landscapes of the Tarfala valley

The Sámi flag. For a bit more background, go to my dA: http://raido-ehwaz.deviantart.com/

o_O Me wanna go! Lovely!
That rainbow pic was really a matter of being at the right time at the right place

Empress_Flynn · 09-14-2008, 07:42 AM

Wow, beautiful pics Nerdanel!

I might work up the courage to post a few from my extended vacation later on... hope you all like cathedrals and countryside lol

**Mari** · 09-14-2008, 07:56 AM

Yay! Piccies!

Nerdanel · 09-14-2008, 08:42 AM

You should go, it's a great place 8) And being there is naturally a million times more beautiful than photos show..

And thanks, EF!

It'd be great if you uploaded some photos, would be nice to see them.

Grey_Wolf · 09-14-2008, 08:51 AM

Lovely shots, Nerd!

Meesa liksa Cathedralsa and countrysidesa muchsa !

Empress_Flynn · 09-14-2008, 10:23 AM

Okay... I'll just put two in for now...

The first is a cathedral and the second is just random nature

**Mari** · 09-14-2008, 10:33 AM

That second picture... It could have been one taken on one of the islands where my father grew up. Beautiful!

Empress_Flynn · 09-14-2008, 10:36 AM

^Lol, thanks very much... I just got lucky with that one... it's all the light and not my fantastic camera skills, after all

Nerdanel · 09-14-2008, 10:49 AM

You clearly have a great eye for composition, EF.

Great photos!

Empress_Flynn · 09-14-2008, 10:50 AM

Well thanks very much!

Happy accidents, really... I may have an eye for some, but they don't always work out well, haha

Grey_Wolf · 09-14-2008, 11:49 AM

Lovely shots both of them.

Ive collected most of my photos on my homepage under My Photos. Come in and take a look.

All of them never work out very well. Photography is good for experimenting, too: sometimes it works out really well, most of the time it doesn't work at all.

Not everyone sees a photo opportunity, and even fewer just sense a good composition. Based on those two, you've got that. Let us see more!

Empress_Flynn · 09-14-2008, 01:22 PM

I'll be sure to check those out, Grey Wolf

And thanks very much again, Nerdanel... I've been taking pictures nonstop for the past few months and sometimes they come out horribly, but then other times I get really lucky... I'll go through my pics tonight and post some more soon.

Nerdanel · 09-14-2008, 01:52 PM

Grey_Wolf · 09-14-2008, 01:59 PM

Haha... well, not a good one! Lol... being as I am but a poor recent college graduate, I can scarce afford food... and as I am on extended holiday, I have my "holiday" digital camera which is a Nikon Coolpix... not incredibly reliable, it has a tendency to blur for absolutely no reason at all, and the settings tend to be absolute crap for shooting in dusk conditions, but it's all I have for now

I shall be posting a few more tomorrow, I'm sure you'll all be waiting with bated breath

***Earniel*** · 09-14-2008, 06:37 PM

Another Nikon Coolpix! Just like my Nikkie!

Although I hear you on the blurring (how that red flashing signal of shaking annoys me) and worthless dusk settings. Still, you can take pictures with one hand, which is especially handy when you're needing the other hand to steady yourself from falling into the stream when shooting dragonflies.

I don't think I'm fit for anything more advanced (or expensive!) than Nikkie.

It already took me three years to get attuned with the most important settings.

Grey_Wolf · 09-14-2008, 11:58 PM

My first pics where taken w a Nikon Coolpix L3 (in '06) and only this year did I advance to the next step, a Nikon D60 Digital System Camera.
