Occaisionally i go out for walks with the family in some of the nicer parts of lovely Wales, here in the UK.
Obviously i'm not photography expert, hahah. I just shoot what i think looks nice. I'd appreciate anyones opinion on it.

I'll start with this recent one i took on a walk the other day on a coastal walk. I took it mainly because the poles across the field reminded me of Shinkai's art. I shot it, and heres the result~

I also played around with the colours a bit. And to be honest, i really love the outcome. The picture looks vastly different to its actual setting. Behind me there was a waist high, old stone wall and to the right of the photo, you come near to the edge of the cliff and down onto the beachy area.

Looks great what you did to the colours. Makes it seem like a kind of old fashioned sort of way. Brings out the nostalgia from back in the days.

Keep the photos coming. Smile

Beautiful shot.

Strangely, if you'd added a train track, it would have looked just like your avatar.

Thanks! And i know what you mean about it looking a bit like my avatar!
I think it was the backgrounds like this that the photo reminded me of.

Okay, heres another photo i took on the same day which i quite liked. I kept it rather large so you could see some of the details on the plants, whatever they are. I think i took this in macro mode, just to see how it worked.

Wow, such details, you sure have keen eyes. You must have a great camera too!

It's not actually my camera, hahah. It's my dads new one. [yay for being young enough to borrow parents stuff] Laughing

And its a cross between a digital SLR and a point and shoot camera. Fuji Finepix S5700. 7 Mega pixels. Its really nice to use.

Beautiful.

I need to get myself one of those cameras. Smile

I may have some more photos to show.
Went for a walk on some sandy dune thingys yesterday. Went snap happy and took a lot of photos.
I'm gonna sift through them and hopefully find some nice ones and i'll post a few.

Hey they're pretty good. Do you do photography at school or anything like that? If you enjoy it so much, maybe you should look into some classes or something. I learn so much better when it's something I'm interested in or passionate about.

I now kind of regret I did not take up photography in school. But then, the choices where difficult to choose between and we can only pick two. Let's see... the subjects were Japanese, Visual-Art, Photography, Stage-craft, Commerce, Horticulture, IST, and the rest I've forgotten.

It's frustrating passing each day without being able to capture at least one photo... Aghhhh!
