Calling All OptiBoard Photographers! (Fall 2002)

[Steve Machol]

I recently started organizing my collection of photos and thought it would be interesting to start a thread where OptiBoarders could post some of their favorite photographs. So I'm going to kick this off with a photo I took of my daughter about 20 years ago which won First Place in a photography contest sponsored by the City of Scottsdale Arizona.

Steve,

I've got hundreds of photos from my days in Connecticut, mostly from around Farmington and south around Deep River and Essex area. Unfortunately, at this time no scanner or other equipment to send them through. This problem may be corrected within the next month or two.

Steve, I am a HUGE fan of good photography. That picture is amazing. Beyond amazing. I absolutely love it! Well done.

[Steve Machol]

Thanks! (Where's that blushing smilie when you need it?) :D

[Joann Raytar]

Very dramatic. Did you choose B&W for the effect or is that all they had around back then? ;)

Just, pulling your leg. That is a great picture!

I took this shot one early July morning. All you could hear was the horn and waves. It was so peacefull that day.

Here is the view of a space shuttle night launch from my back yard on the west coast of Florida. (I live off the causeway going out to Honeymoon Island, north of Clearwater Beach)
I think it was in 1999.

Harry and Jim - nice photos! Thanks for sharing.

I know there are other photographers out there so don't be shy. Show us your stuff!

We get some dramatic sunsets in this part of the world, I suppose living on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea and facing west probably helps.

I seem to take pictures almost every evening when I'm home in time.

Here's one on the way home some months ago

I'll try one.

[JRS]

One more new. Will try something different next.

[Steve Machol]

Very nice guys!

Where were those pictures taken JR?

[Cindy Hamlin]

I am really proud of this picture. It is the sunrise at Virginia Beach from my hotel room balcony on the oceanfront.

Those two were in Jasper Park - Canada, late September. We had more days of overcast than sun, hence the lack of "bright" sky. Plan on going back next year too.

Looking for some other stuff to post. I use to shoot 35mm all the time. Still have 4 - 35mm Canon bodies, 6 lenses, 1- 2 1/2 camera, and a big Crown Graphic (3x5 negative). Pus a complete color darkroom. Got the stuff... just no time any more.

It took forever for me to inch up on these Pelicans on a dock in Sarasota, FL.
