I went for a walk on Sunday. About a 6 hour round trip with a pub stop in the middle.
Few shots from the day. There are a few more I like which I might put up later.

I like how you just take walks, something i'd like to do more often. Nice work, i particularly like the 2nd one of that set.

Do it! Just take your camera and go somewhere. Even if your photos turn out shit, you at least got to take a quiet walk outside. I love just going out. Did that last weekend when it was super foggy at night. Too bad I'm on my netbook or I'd have some pictures posted by now.

Indeed, going for random walks with your camera is great.
There's no such thing as a wasted photo or bad photo, it's always good practice and you'll learn from every photo taken.

Im planning to do that, but thing is i need to travel to get anywhere decent. As i live in a pretty industrial area and theres not much about, or many nice people about. I'm still gonna figure it out though.

I mean at worst, you get a handful of shots you aren't happy with, but you get to relax and collect yourself for a bit.
At best, you get some sweet shots plus the benefit of relaxing. Photography for me is as therapeutic as it is a hobby. There will be days when I'm really stressed or worried about class, and I'll just drive out and walk around with my camera. Helps me clear my head and gets me refreshed.

[QUOTE=Pickwickian-;34379276]Pictures[/QUOTE]
Pickwickian, I adore your photographs and style. There's so much character and personality coming out of each picture, truly making them feel like storybook settings come to life.
browsing this thread daily inspires me to go out and take some more photos. it's a shame that i'm currently without a car :( there's a place close to me called carnarvon gorge that has amazing potential. hoping to get some photos there soon.
anyways, just here to say those are some awesome shots blaze, bopie and pickwickian.

Not too proud of this one, haven't had the time to go out.
Smile, man.

Some nice stuff there man.
Just went through your photostream on flickr, Blaze. You take some neat looking photos.. pretty amazing stuff
I really need to upload more stuff to Flickr, I haven't used it in a goooood while.
i'm new to the scene, only made an account last week
love those vacation shots, the blues are so wonderful
Thanks for the kind words bree.
Just realised my uni has a medium format phase one camera.
I shall be contacting the photography director and get permission to use it sometime.
It's Australia day today. The weather was awful but that didn't stop anyone from getting drunk and having a good time.

Great fucking shot Bree. So bloody sharp!
thank you! means a lot!
[QUOTE=bree;34396039]what you guys think of it anyway?[/QUOTE]
I actually like those colors, but there does seem to be a slight overall tinge of that over processed feeling - looks like there's some halo from 'stretching' the curves/contrast data too far. Though I'm not sure if this could just be my scumbag brain leaving an after image from the contrast between sky and his hair. Either way it's really subtle and doesn't matter much.
I like the composition, but not sure if I'm into that tight framing, especially on the top of his head. I dig the picture as a whole. Nice stuff. By the way, it looks nicer at 640 than 500.
Also, that's bad weather?

Thanks for the feedback on that one Bopie. Haha I guess the sky was pretty nice at that point, it was storming most of the day though. We had to play our yearly cricket match on a muddy field which turned out more fun than a dry field.
Yeah, I get the over processed feeling too. I'm currently working on the photo from scratch again to try and make it look a little neater.
went out for a walk againnnn
