Photography Thread?

[rixter]

I thought I would add this as well , there's also no other section for it , and this seems an ideal place to drop a picture along with photography?

I like doing a bit of drawing and painting also , not that I'm much good at it !, but I enjoy it.
This is my latest recent attempt at a charcoal drawing of 'Ned Kelly', it took me around 2 hours to draw.
I like messing with paints and airbrushing , oils, pastels , chalk , charcoal, and so on.
As like most charcoal pictures , you need to look at it from a distance a bit to get the depth of the picture, or you see all the line marks, as like with pastels and oils.

I have a tripod you can have free if your willing to come over to Longwarry to get it (near Warragul, 15 minutes past Pakenham) , I don't use it so it's free if you want it.
It isn't a cheapy cheapy , but it also isn't a top brand either, But it is above the cheap range and a good tripod.

Cool pics also Jim , reminds me I have some photo's I took while bunyip was on fire around 5 years ago. I have pictures from my backyard with black sky and flames all around. I seriously thought my house was going to get burned away that year , it was VERY close ! . I'll have to dig them up and post them.

I Don't Know About everyone else but i think You're Pretty Good!
I've never been able to Draw, Well i can, Sort of, But i get bored and start drawing stick figures.

All im gonna say Is I'd be proud To be able to draw like that!

Thanks mate, I appreciate those nice comments. Although I'm too picky and I'm never fully happy with what I produce, I get bored easily too.
I only do around 1 picture a year then get bored after that again; and off to different things again for a while.

I enjoy it more for the shades / as in photography / catching light angles.

My drawing looks like a 'Muhammad Ned Kelly' version compared to that photo :lol: . Although I did do the portrait of him from a slightly different picture, must off been a bit earlier as his beard was shorter in the pic I drew from, although it looks a lot like the same pose, even the top flick of the hair !.

Cheers mate , Rick.

Good effort.
Only doing 1 or so a year seems like it'd be alot harder to get a nice drawing like that with little practice time.

I enjoy doing airbrush work more. I've done a few cars and motorbikes with gfx and flame fx etc. Sort of along the same line with the shading etc. Been drawing since I was a kid, and my missus is an artist ( and her passed mother was an award artist also) . Has sort of run through the family, she taught me a lot , both my missus and her mother / when I was younger.
Not that I was interested much back then , but I enjoy it now days / to an extent , so it payed off learning from them.

Oh , I was also doing tattooing for around 3 years ( about 12 years ago) before I got bored with that also too !. Well bored , but also the missus wasn't very happy with me having to tattoo women in some of the places they wanted their tattoo's either !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Cheers mate , Rick.

Graphics on Motorbike Helmets is Airbrushed on Isn't it?
Ever Painted a helmet?

[rixter]

Yep , I've done a few actually, a few years back now though.

Did a few for 'The Coffin Cheaters' MC about 20 years ago , and the tanks on their Harleys mainly. Although I haven't been associated with them for years , never was really , was just a job I did through someone I knew back then.

Cheers , Rick.

Heres why I Took an Hour to reply, Was trying to Dig this up.

My last Long Exposure.
I Forgot That I Wasn't Shooting In raw So editing would be harder Making the Photo Grainy But Here's One of My best So Far, Could Have Been Better But I'm Not complaining.
