I took this pano today while on a short hike and wanted to share. Files too big for 4chins so I had to crop some of it out.
Also, general photography thread, since apparently there isn't one up.
Nice pic OP, but I have to pick a bone with you!
Perhaps my greatest pet peeve with /out is when someobdy posts a photo and doesn't tell us where it was taken.
Pleasant looking location. This is just a pic of some moss that I happened to catch when the light was hitting it just right. The picture doesn't do it justice, I'm afraid.
>>770877
Oh, sorry anon, I'm still somewhat new to the board. It was taken outside of Toronto, Ontario.
>>770910
I really like that pic, I find moss so pretty.
Here's a picture I took on Cape Cod. First time out there, was kinda pretty but I don't get the huge boner people have for it. Is it just an elitist New Englander thing?
Braila, Romania. This was the start of the fog, in a few minutes you couldn't see two meters in front of you.

Figure I might as well bump with another
got a couple of pictures from 6 years ago taken on an old phone, all from Sowerby in Halifax, England.
good times hanging out in the woods with friends as a teenager.

Glacier National Park, doing a little off-roading up to a few hiking trails. Some old, historic cabins set in front of the mountains. Just traveled the country for a year and have thousands of pictures, but I have to resize them. Will post what I have and try and keep this thread bumped. I always love seeing what pics other people have taken. I've seen a few on this board that are absolutely stunning. I'm still trying to figure out the finer points of photography, just been fuckin around with the camera lately. Need to get a little more technical to get the most outta my pics.

Driving into a killer hailstorm in the Northeast part of New Mexico. Ended up being a full double rainbow over the road, it was sick. Had to pull over for a few hours though, lotsa tractor trailers skidding off of the road and people driving like lunatics. Enjoyed just readin a book and hoping my Jeep didn't get damaged by hail.
I love /out/ togging

Arctic Fox with a fresh kill in Yellowstone. Didn't have the ideal setting on, and I had to snap the pictures super quickly. They're a bit oversaturated, but all in all I still think they turned out okay and foxes are cool.
>>772256
got damn that's a great capture. i never get sh!t for wildlife
>>772257
Thanks man, I've seen a surprising amount of foxes in the past few months. Here's a little blackie in Yellowstone as well. Looked really healthy, his fur was actually quite pretty. This pic doesn't do him justice, but I didn't want to scare him off and bug him, so I kept a solid distance. This was actually just off the side of the road, but in a far less traveled part of northeast Yellowstone. He was pretty chill.
>>772260
One more bump until I head out for lunch and some daydrinking. Will continue bumping later this evening assuming I end up back home. Hope to see some more contributions from other posters! I know there are some stud photographers on this board.
This was a nice sunset off the coast of Gold Beach, Oregon. Actually splurged on a nice hotel room right on the beach with a view, so this was from my balcony drinking some bourbon and reading a book. I miss the Oregon coast.
Moon over Lake Ontario yesterday evening

Really liked this picture. Taken from the dam facing the Tetons.

Pickhandle Lake in the Yukon. Pulled over and spent the night there on my drive up to Alaska for the summer.

I went on another hike today. That's 3 in the past 4 days. The flowers are blooming now. For some reason my friend and I decided to go barefoot through the lake, the bottom of which is really painful rocks. Hurt, but was fun and the water was really refreshing. Also made my shoes 10x more comfy
>>772858
Damn anon, you just justified your life with that photo. You can now die in piece

Those were awesome pictures. Wildflowers are fucking sexy.
Here's another one of mine continuing from >>772261 .... I always loved this pic, not sure why.
>>772256
What kind of camera do you use? I'm sick of not having crisp, nice photos from my camera. Chances are I might just not have a good grasp of how to use it but still.
I've been taking more and more photos with my phone lately. I'll dump some from my most recent hike.
Morrell Falls, Seeley Lake, Montana
I'd like to get a better lens soon.
>>773448
I have a Nikon D3300. I use the stock lens and I bought a low-mid end telephoto lens for close ups and animals far away. I'm still figuring it out too. I really just use the pre-fab settings depending on what I'm taking a pic of. I haven't started messing around with customized settings and stuff. Takes a while to get used to, but I'm pretty happy with my results so far. Here's another one.
This is in Antelope Island State Park that borders Great Salt Lake. Hiked about 4 miles up and over this semi-mountain and had the entire back side of the island to myself. Was really gorgeous and lots of great birds and wildlife.
>>773496
nice pitcher! i got a lucky macro shot of a busy longlegs that just wouldn't hold still for a second
>>773483
that is fucking beautiful m8
>>773647
Thanks man, it was a gorgeous park. Felt more like a National Park than a state park. It's fucking huge.
This pic is from just outside of Grand Teton National Park. Pretty big hail/sleetstorm earlier in the day and it drove most people off of the road. Ended up going out in the evening and essentially had the entire park to myself (although most of it was still closed due to snow). Waited around for the sun to blow up the sky during sunset, but it never quite got as colorful as I expected. Still think the pic turned out well though, was really pretty.
>>773713
Caught this little guy stickin his tongue out at me. Must have been camera-shy or something haha. Not that great a pic, but I thought it was pretty cute. This is in the north side of Yellowstone.
>>773924
Will bump with one more before I head out for the day. This was a small bunch of pines that got hit by lightning (or maybe a fire?) on the side of the road just outside of the NE exit of Yellowstone. Thought it was pretty cool.
I'd love to see some more contributions from some other /out/ photofags. I know it's a slow board, but I'm curious to see other parts of the world.

Trail leading to a geocache in Ontario. It's an abandoned railway line so you can walk along the wooden boards
>>773483
I use a Nikon as well, although it's a D3100.
they're great even if you've got no idea what the fuck you're doing.
>>773958
It's a great camera. My buddy has the 3200 and told me how much he loved it. I just got the updated version because I got a kinda package deal with accessories, case, etc. I think mine cost me like $650 total and I spent $80 more on a Japanese knock off telephoto lens. I have a box full of accessories that I've never used (external flash, tripod, cleaning shit, remote shutter, etc.). So I'm pretty happy with the deal I got. And as you mentioned, those cams have the flexibility to just point and shoot or really delve into and customize and save your own settings. Seems to be legitimately durable as well which was my main worry going into purchasing a camera. Might as well bump with another pic.
This one is off of the Pacific Coast Highway on the Oregon coast. The entire pic is kinda over-saturated, but I think the water looks awesome and the place itself was amazing.
A nice local lake in the Swedish countryside.

>>>/p/ would be somewhat interested with this thread (actual photos and no gearfagging) and could offer some basic adivce on how to upgrade most of these.
Watch out, tho. They're merciless.
>>776535
See but I don't care so much about the picture from a technical point of view or even about making it perfect, to me I just want to capture the places I have been. I like /out/ because if you want that advice to become a great photographer you can get it but if you don't then nobody forces it.

One of my personal favorites from Mount Charleston.
Can you guys recommend me a camera? I want something digital, relatively small and lightweight, and preferably water resistant/proof. Takes good enough pictures to justify bringing it in addition to my phone.
>>779100
Just bring your smartphone if you're out to be out, and not because you want to get into professional photography.

Gonna do a dump from my time in Svalbard. This photo was taken on my iPhone 6. The rest were taken with my nikon d40. The pictures were taken over a period spanning from August to November. After that there was no Sun.
This was taken whilst doing field work at Kapp Linné. We were approaching the end of the polar summer and the lighting was just fantastic. From about 23:00 to 02:00 the sun would hover just above the horizon creating some spectacular sunsets(rises?)
The poles seen here connected our base to the russian settlement of Barentsburg, 14km away as the crow flies.
Taken from the peak of Nordenskiöldtoppen, the highest peak surrounding the archipelago's largest settlement of Longyearbyen, at 1051m.
The landscapes were desolate once the end of autumn came around.
A group of us camped next to a frozen lake at the bottom of a crater like formation in the mountains one weekend. During the night we took turns staying awake to keep an eye out for polar bears. It was cloudy and without moon or star light the area was pitch black. The wind would cause the newly forming ice on the surface of the lake to stretch and compress. I cannot describe how harrowing the noises that came of the lake and were thrown around the basin surrounding the lake. It's really not a good idea to be so fucking jumpy when you're clutching a loaded rifle. Luckily no polar bears showed up though :)
>>779656
Oh shit, I've wanted to go to Svalbard for years.
And we'll finish up with a beauty shot for you guys.
>>779779
I was studying Arctic geophysics for my bachelors. Was an amazing semester. I'd love to go back. It's a lot more interesting than the UK.
I like your pictures btw, what are you using?
>>779787
Nice, I need to get up there myself.
Thanks, I shoot film, mostly 35mm on a Pentax ME Super with a 28mm f/2.8 on it, but I'll post some more medium format stuff too.

Hiked up to and around Little Pond Lake in Vermont today. It's amazing up there

And camped nearby last night. It was an awesome place, I definitely want to go back and spend more time in Green Mountain NF

Playing around with a light trail app.
I've got a few from last year's trip to Mono County. One of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I've been going every year since I was a wee babe. I never get tired of it

Raven Cliff is a cool place. I try and get up there every few months if I can. Good to see another GA fag (I'm guessing) on here.
Remembered one more good /out/ pic. Me on top of Crane Mountain in the Adirondacks

early morning Manistee River in Michigan
trolling Lake Michigan by Ludington. Way out by Sable Point....never seen the lake this calm before or since. Fishing was awesome that night too
Just got back from the Lake District, some phenomenal views but I shoot on 35mm so it'll be a while before I get the film processed. In the mean time here's some of the Peak District.

Won't actually let me post any more for some reason, I'll try again later.
