I'm sure we have more than a few photographers among us and a thread seems sorely missing, so here it is!
There's no real rules or anything, just try keep it under a few thousand photos in a single post, under 5 is probably a good idea for those out there who don't have super-awesome internet plans. I'm keeping my images at or around 1024 x 768 and aiming for them to be under ~400kb if i can, just as a good general guide.
It doesn't need to be something you made yourself (that makes it all the more awesome though), long as its some kind of visual art. It can be a cool piece you found somewhere else, that's fine.
I'll start us off, since its the festive season, i thought i'd start us off with something with a lot of bright and colourful lights. I'm a very visual person (anyone else out there?), so, hopefully this thread becomes drool-worthy. I don't have a DSLR or any fancy equipment (or even a tripod) so its all the more a challenge for me to be innovative, so, excuse the odd blur or image noise you might not get with other kinds of cameras. As you can probably tell, i really like lights, the evening and really long exposures.
Without further ado:

Have you seen the long exposure shots taken from the ISS? They are insane!

Those are amazing, took me awhile to get over the shock to type this post. The ultimate long exposures haha.

If you guys don't want the pics going off the edge of the screen, use
[img width=size]<img link>[/img]where the size is a number, from memory 900 works well to fit it right, and then clicking on the image will make it bigger if needed.

For this very reason too, i know we have some awesome illustrators here who i wish would come out of the woodwork (not naming names of course), be great to see them!

Oo, a Photoshop thread. Should get back on it, been a while since my last attempt
Here are some of the stuff I made. Pretty basic.

Anyone else use DeviantART? I reside here!
Got one or two plans in my head for some other works, but I need a photographer for one. And two vacuum cleaners

Because I like geometry in the world:

What exposure did you use?

44s, ISO 100, F/8.0, Variable ND filter attached

44 seconds? Dayum son. I kind of assumed it would be über bright or something, is that what the neutral density filter is for? I remember poking around google ages ago on how to do ultra-long exposures without blowing them out and i think thats what came up.
I might install CHDK later and play around with it, it's hacked firmware so you can take the camera from 2048s* to 1/60,000s , no idea why cannon turned that stuff off in the first place, seems like a good feature to me.

I used ND to keep the light level down. I can actually stack Variable-ND over CPL to achieve 10 stops of light down.

My brother and I hav taken some maaaadddd photos over the years. Will post them when I get home.
Absolutely LOVING all the photos on here!

Do y'think a variable ND is worth it? Apparently the image quality isn't as good as stacked NDs

Since it is christmas and all, i guess this photo is mildly appropriate (and perhaps interesting to some).
It's the Gospel of Thomas. It's not found in any standard bible to my knowledge. It was discovered it buried in a jar in desert, lost for the better part of 2000 years. It's also by far the best translation of it i've read too, so if you're interested and dont know ancient coptic, it's worth a look.
As i said, i don't really have any fancy equipment or anything. The candle looks nice but it also provided a nice, warm, orangey glow too (remember what i said about improvising).
Macro shots, nice crisp ones, are another personal favourite of mine.

Aaaand now in colour

Not sure if i should crop out the candle or not, i usually don't like to edit my things.

I prefer the colour one. The candle draws my attention more than the writing though but if you crop it out it would look silly.
-
Didn't have a DSLR at the time, so these photos
may are of pretty bad quality. These are from back in year 9-10, when I had enough free time on my hands to run a website. *sigh*
and mind the celebrity pictures- only high quality images I could find at the time which were ideal for experimenting with. :P

I think ad's and propoganda posters (when done right) can be really cool too, here are some really good ones i've seen lately:

Really should get back into things - but lost $800 worth of lenses ages ago and can't afford to replace 'em :(

Holy crap those are awesome tragesty.
Since it's died down a bit here, i'll post some more of my stuff.

Edit: for some reason it wont let me post like 3 images at once, it keeps timing out, so only one for now

Totally forgot about this thread. Guess I'll kick it off again...
