Beauty of Norway...

moon shine






Lightning in the clouds




The local beach..







Twin speakers..




2 huge speakers each at least 3 to 4 meters in diameter on both sides of the river called (Drammen elva) which during the summertime they play mysterious music for the river as the old traditional way (the belief about the river will be happy to hear the music and perhaps grants some wishes for the lovers as well)...HDRImage

Absolutely beautiful, Q.

While the world is full of gorgeous locals, I'm told that Norway has a certain magic you can't find anywhere else. In fact, it made my Bucket List to visit some day.

Yes, all those picture taken by me I am a photographer, and Sweden/Denmark is not as beautiful as Norway because they are flat as your palm.. no montains.

And Canon/Nikon is not my taste, I use Olympus because they have they best white balance and metering in the market not to mention the optics. And ohhh the photoshop I use the software since version 6 currently is CS4.

But then again my project is all about HDR Image like Dynamic photo HDR software. So you do not need Photoshop what so ever.

You can get the right size of the moon shine at http://qqbone.deviantart.com/ since the host truncated the the image size??_ I don't know why so don't ask??_

Yes I do??_

I am called clouds /sun/moon chaser by the business, and yeha I was zooming at the moon because you only get a few days on year to capture the moon as it is. no clouds and no raining/snowing days.

The Olympus I got called spUZ570 it has Dual shok (of course you have to use tripod anyhow for the night shot) it has aperture range form (bulb) 8 min up to 1/4000 you??ll see the moon shine it took in 30 sec but most importantly the camera ability of time lapse you??ll see in lightning picture put it on the tripod fix the focus and the cam will take the rest (shoot in 2 images every minute in my case) like I said it before no other cam out there to perfect the light! It has also the ability to take 30 frames per second

If you are serious for the photography you??ll go for the Olympus the other brands are sham.

What? You do take picture of people without their permission..??

Seriously, you are jealous. Do something about it.

And believe me; nothing is uglier than you are??_

Now you are JOKING now chicken!

Interesting I was thinking about getting a NIkon D40 as a starter... Do you think it would still be good? Even though it doesn't level up to the Canon..



Nice pics by the way, this one really caught my attention.

oh bums it doesn't even show, it was the global looking one.

I wouldn't buy D40/60/80 they are KITT and they come with a very bad optics and their visor are not sharp, say you pay $ 500 to buy one then pay another $ 500 to buy a good optics, it is not logical.

Nikon optics are damn expensive and your choice would be tamron or sigma optics and they are not as cheap as they use to be.

In reality as a new beginner your best choice would be the point and shoot cameras they come with a large zoom and you don't have to buy extra optics for them another point is the dust with interchangeable lens cameras this would be your first and outmost problems to deal with and cost you a lot to clean it. With point and shoot cams you don't deal with that irritating dust problems.

Stalker BULL??_

You just love to destroy the other people's posts aren't you?

And the other problem is that they don't come with the live view and also they don't have a flip over monitor.

At the end, It is your choice.

Nice pics Q!!

Ohh you shouldn't say that but thanks. My damn stalker (the BULL) is around the corner and HE might later take a revenge on you for saying that.

Hometown from afar the image has been photoshoped for commercial purposes a year ago.

Thanks for the advice..but no no no point and shoot cams I've been used to those cameras for years, lol. I already have the Sony Cyber-Shot 3.2, it's too normal for me, just taking pictures. However.. I did use a Minota, which was handed down from my father, but it's a Film 😆5 Camera. I'm trying to get a Digital SLR to further my experience with these big boys. I'm still a beginner at this though.. but I think I can get the idea of handling those cameras. Hm.. I was really looking into getting the D40 or D90 though, even though the price is so high... but I guess it's just a choice. I'll try whatever will be Good. Thanks for the advice though, I'll keep what u said in mind. Anyway, keep up with your style of shots, don't let that dude get in the way of what you're doing 😉

Hell NO, why are you so eager to torturing us with your image..?

But then??_There is one important point, who ever images you try to upload still can not be proven that it is your image.

Upload lady gaga??s image see if I care.

I create my own logos and put them on display; do not need to upload my personal image to a public forum to prove something that irrelevant to me.

That will never happen so dream on??_..

Sorry how your topic is turning out, lol..

I warned you all about this stalker; his designation is (destroying posts).

🙂

one thing I'm learning about these forums.. lol

Never mind the stalker as long as I remember he's been like that at least in past 5 years.

Anyway...

How about some Swans..?



I was always fascinated by the majestic look of Swans ??_


I call it cloud explorer you seldom sees Swans flying alone. So this must be Virgo (the loner) I guess...

























and his majesty with all glory??_..

Your pictures are absolutely mesmerising, wow impressed. They almost look cgi - like Beouwolf, gorgeous work Q-bone x

Thank you my dear....

More to come soon...
