Art Work, A place to put your own individual Art

Wish I knew how to reduce these pics so they didn't take up the whole monitor! But here is a colored pencil drawing of Geronimo.

Well, I started off with the exact same camera. Angela got one at a flea market and we used it for two years before it started leaking light. Then I used kodak disposable cameras, because I had no choice. Then I started borrowing the comany (ex-company) digital camera every once in a while. Nikon Coolpix 995. A really nice camera, and quite user friendly. Got me interested enough to actually learn some things and try harder to get quality photos. Then I learned of the downsides of digital photography, and so got the one pictured above. I use fixed 28:1 and 50:1 lenses though I would really love to get myself a nice 200x+ zoom.
I took it home with me and, with the aide of my Dad's tripod, I got some great shots of back east. But I have no access to a scanner, and so I'm stuck with no way to sahre them. If you liked any of these, you'd melt if you saw the shots I took around Cape Breton. I took five rools in those two weeks.
No, I do nothing professional. Mainly because I'm not a professional.

I posted this in another thread, I think. Anyway, this is for you, Celticrose.

My first real attempt at a portrait, and it had to be of my dog.

Buffy looks pretty cool in that pic I'm hardly a dog person,. but that's a nice pic

Rosemary,

That drawing of Geronimo is amazing. I see my grandfather's face in his, under the cheeks and around the mouth sucked in with age. I love the way the eyes aren?t the symmetrical, few people?s are.
There is a feeling of wearied dignity about this piece.

Angel,

I love tree hunt. I see the dark marks in the snow and think it?s probably melt marks, but I see them as footie prints from all the searchers.

oldraven,

I really love your close-up photos. You posted one somewhere else that was a branch, pendulant with red berries, lit from behind by autumn leaves. Did you repost that here?

Elspeth

Heh, Thanks E. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that in this picture.

BTW Gang, I will be posting 2 new pics that need Names. For the life of me I just canna get a name for them. All Ideas are welcome. and hey you just might get a signed Original of the pic that you name. I'll post them soon. Keep your eyes open for them.

OMG! Mike! I was indeed impressed! How in the world did you do that? I was a photography major in college way back when we were just using SLRs and I did a lot of work in dark room as photographer's assistant for a professional photographer, but it was so archaic compared to what photography is now done today. Did you use computer graphics to do that? Thanks for sharing!
