How far have you gone to take a picture? Was it worth it? Was it fun?
I climbed through 20m of forestry and up a hill to get to this section of a railroad. I'm a completely novice photographer and I my camera started losing focus in the low light. It was not really worth it but it was okay.

I then moved onto the railroad bridge. I was spooked when some of the mesh walkway wobbled down under my feet, so I walked on the wooden beams. A bad photo from poor exposure, I will find out how to fix this for my future photographs.

Ive jumped fences, climbed steep embankments, fallen off a sailboat, got attacked by a pelican, got hit by a 300lb black woman, gotten bitched out by a 100lb white woman, kicked out of buildings.
Nothing is too far.
I climbed 600 feet up a radio tower, by myself, at like 3 AM, in the rain, ultimately... Was probably not worth it, but I still had fun. I was up so high that I was above the clouds. It was really sick.
>>2716042
Let's see the results then. Doesn't matter if they're shit
There is an overpass near my home where the train rails pass. I climbed there yesterday to take a picture. Thank God i removed my headphones because 2 minutes later a train passed by.
>>2715971
I am just going to be honest here... There is not much of a point of doing all this to get shots that are just... bad. Learn to use your camera so that when you take risks to get shots, they will be worthwhile.
Example:
>>2715972
I know it is a rebel XT so the low light performance is not very good, but I would have used manual so I could set everything myself.
ISO 800
ƒ/ 4
1/6 sec
If you are not using an IS lens, you should be able to get a relatively sharp shot after a few tries. You could get another 1/3 stop by going wide open at ƒ/ 3.5 and speed up the shutter to 1/8 or lower the ISO to 640.
>>2716137
Of course in conjunction with using this you could also just use a tripod... which would help, but camera control also matters a lot.
I have gone really really far
I do urbex so climbing fences and walls, falling more than two meters, walking on roofs, almost being hit in the head with a goddamn pickaxe
I also spend hours searching infos about places, I go from a picture to a region to a name and history, then town and a way to get in, and sometimes it's just impossible to find anything useful
but it's always worth it, nothing is too much or too far

great picture. i love the tones and generally, makes me feel good.
similar feeling when watching some scenes with snow in Fargo(tv series)
broke into lot of train related structures, climbed a lot of towers, visited some heavy polluted factories... also fell down a lot of times but never hurt myself.
I usually drive a lot to find good spots

Climbed a rather ancent deserted part of the Great Wall of China in the horrible heat just to take this snapshit. Was a 6 hour hike/mountain climb. The pic utterly fails at capturing the adventures we crossed on the journey.

Photomatix to blend, Lightroom to edit
Also I mostly do HDR because my camera isn't a fucking beast in low-light, the tonemap isn't great, it's pretty much the only way I have to get the pictures the way I want them to be.
I don't really care if you don't like it, others do.
Show me what you do, earn my respect and prove me you're good, then I'll consider taking your critique seriously.
Sailed in a leaky sailboat from Norway to Shetland to get a nothing 4x5 snapshit.
Still worth it even if I fucked from a photographic standpoint.

digging it, pentax-bro....
I was about to go to bed and noticed it was unusually foggy so I grabbed my camera which happened to be on my windowsill and fired off several snapshits without even rolling out of bed.
I managed to get a fat pneumonia after attempting some nightly long exposure shots in the middle of winter. Actually landed me in a hospital for a few days.
Farthest I've probably gone was a drive to the closest vantage point to the syrian border in israel. There's a cafe in the golan heights called coffee anan. the drive there took us through a few pilgrimage sites and also ironically some abandoned tanks from the 6 day war which were left behind as memorials.
I lost my best roll of film to a lab fuck up though, we came across some merkavas doing live fire exercises on the hill and I managed a few shots of it all but I've no idea how they came out. It's one of those things I will probably never get to experience again in my life, we were blessed to know an old paratrooper who drove us around showing us all of the sights he could around israel

Not far. Mostly just sitting in one spot or two for a couple hours to get pictures of birds.
This a hobby for me so if I'm not having fun in the process it's not worth it to me to continue on with whatever unfun procedure undertaken to get a particular shot.

This is sad, but at least you have the memories.
I feel like a tremendous faggot saying this, but film always looks like you remember it, if you get what I mean
>>2717218
to be honest, the lab probably saw your shots of the tanks and confiscated the roll.
Although It doesn't quite count, I did bring my DSLR 16 hours overseas to Thailand. I lugged it everywhere I went.

Now that I think about it...
I did actually climb the Tiger Cave Temple (twice), which consists of about a 1300 step staircase (can't forget the actual number, but there was multiple signs along the way for the count) in 100 degree, maximum humidity weather. Quite an elevation increase. I have not sweat as much as I did that day. There is still crystallized sweat salt on the inside of my camera backpack. Absolutely worth it, though. Crazy view.

Don't worry about them. I'm the guy who asked the software, I use photomatix too. They just can't afford decent software and are jealous that you have some decent photos. They probably shoot JPG or some hipster shit.

I drove around for 30 mins to get a good place to take this one (pls excuse the facebook compression). I've drove for a while and stayed out in the cold to get some long exposure shots.
I went up the Gunung Agung, the biggest volcano of Bali. It took six hours to climb, I nearly died a few times, but the view on the summit was breathtaking.

I walked through a forest that had recently turned into a field by a storm and some really shitty forest maintenance. Walking through stumps, holes, swamps and branches in the middle of the night with a heavy tripod and a shitty headlamp was pretty damn hard.
This was when I was just getting started and was really excited about night photography. Picture's shitty but I enjoyed taking it.
