Any Photographers on Here?!?!?!

...and back in the late 1980's Practica !

I have this gorgeous vintage Praktica sitting here that I can't wait to use. I need to get my hands on a battery and a light-seal kit.

Here's a few - amateur, it's just a hobby for me.













ETA - No auto resize, so you can see part of them.

You have an amazing abstract/macro eye.

I have a Pentax K-1000 that is a similar model. SLR's are SLR's to me. I really enjoy mine though, I need a new battery for it as well. Seeing these photos makes me want to put mine on digital. I develop my own photography as well

I develop my own photography as well

That's something I've always wanted to do. I have the space, I've just never had the energy/funds to set it up.

It's very smelly at first, but you get used to it after awhile lol.

That's true. But after so many years spend in the darkroom i've grown to love the smell. It brings up all the good memories from high school, running around in white robes (which smelled of chemicals for days after using them in the darkroom). And i always loved how i could just dissappear and hide from the rest of the world, the music playing on the radio, the soft whisper of students chatting in the background and sometimes the yelling of a professor to a said student haha.
But yes well. I've grown up with wokrking in the darkroom and i absolutely love it. I could (and i did) spent days in it, developing films or just enlarging the photos, withouth bothering to get out of the room for hours. My mum usually had to remind me every once in a while to eat something, as i've been so engrossed in the process of what i was doing that i forgot about everything else.

If you have the funds and space (my first darkroom at home was in a bathroom. i live with my parents and a brother so let's say they weren't too enthusiastic about me being locked in there for hours on end) i say just do it and see how it works for you. You can start just with enlarging the photos and if you like it, invest in some other stuff to start also develop the films.

So these are on my deviantart account.

I'm a professional portrait photographer in California. You can see my work here www.AmandaAPhotography.com

I shoot a Nikon D700

85mm 1.4 G
105mm 2.8 G

Love my primes!

I'm an art director.

I do food photography as a hobby, but my quality just isn't where I want it to be yet That's the problem with being an art director I suppose. I know good photos, but can't live up to my own expectations.

I shoot with a simple canon rebel xti with a 18-55 mm kit lens. Not the greatest, but I'm looking to upgrade to a higher quality prime
lens. Any suggestions?

You guys have shared some lovely books

I'm a Photographer. I love to shoot people! lol
Weddings, Families, Events, all that jazz. But my favorite is Alternative Fashion & Boudoir photography.
I've been published a few times, and trying to turn my hobby into my full time job. Slowly but surely.

I shoot with a Nikon D300s.

I'm finishing up my art degree right now, and my main focus was photography. I don't have too much to show for it prepared, but below is a link to work I've done 5 years to now, spanning my interests. What I've taken in my portfolio is shot with either a point and shoot, or the later pictures with my Olympus Pen.

Can someone tell me how to insert images into our post? Then i will add some of mine! :-p

-Sorry im a n00b ;-)

Tinypic.com is fast and easy. Use the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" link, and change the IMG code to lowercase on both ends.

i shoot with a Canon Rebel XSi/450d, with the 18-55mm lens and a tamron 70-300mm tele macro lens.

i did a lot of work on thoughts and emotions throughout my A level photography course. I also do a lot of animal portraits, mainly cats and horses. On top of that I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves to model for me.

All my work can be found on my Deviantart account

Post pictures you've taken, details on equipment, or just general chat. I shoot pentax film and digital camera's, I'll post some pictures later on when I'm not at work

Passionate semi professional photographer here. Using a Sony Alpha 550 ... will maybe post some pics later. Only problem, my laptop has died on me 2 weeks ago. Currently in repair.

Nice to see this thread take off, I'm surprised at how many nikon users there are verses cannon. I would of thought there would be way more cannon shooters! Nice to see a few fellow pentax shooters thrown in as well.

I did own Olympus + 2 kit lenses in the beggining (my first digital camera), but found myself asking fellow photographers to lend me some other equipment and most of them had a Canon so i just got used to it. When the time came when i was so sick of borrowing stuff i was completely in love with canon 70-200 and didn't look back.
I just think it's nice that there are no haters. I believe that it doesnt matter what camera brand are you using, as long as it serves your purpose.
