Random Thread of Photography

I've been doing portrait and event photography lately. I don't have any photos here at work, but I've done some for Mary Greeley at the Sukup Endzone Club, and will next week at the Alumni Center. It's a lot of fun to get to see those places behind-the-scenes.

I photographed a birth a couple of weeks ago, which was insane. Yesterday I photographed an elopement ceremony. Here are just a couple from that that don't show the couple too much to invade their privacy.

EDIT - I tried to upload the files, but they're too large. :-/
 
If you make it out to the fair this year, take a look around, you may see a name you recognize in the photography salon. 3 of my image were accepted, with one winning an award.

A lot of good stuff out there so take a look, as I'm sure we all do.
 
I won't be able to make it this year when my family goes, but congrats!
 
Iowa outdoors is doing a show on outdoor photography tomorrow nite (8-12) (IPTV) at 8:30 if I remember the time right.

I'm not a sports photographer at all, but I got to do some event photography for a volleyball event that two local employers had to raise money for United Way. None of these are ground-breaking shots, but they were better than I expected them to be for not having the right gear or experience.

Thread bump!

Been pretty much disappointed everytime I try and photograph birds with the Nikon and "real" lense. Then yesterday I stumble into a fairly decent picture while out walking 1/2 mile from my house. Great egret with the S7 Galaxy cell camera.

Photo and home decor input request. Have a 5x8 bathroom recently remodeled. VERY contemporary and all in cool tone gray and stainless steel etc. Have the stainless frame for a 8x10 to hang in the bath. Need to pick one of the photos for it. See below. Stuck with cool tone colors or b&W because of the room and the frame. Kinda leaning towards the heron or the wall pic.

Plus an excuse to bump @Angies 's thread

I like the one of the guy walking the dog.

I love it!! <3 I plan to put some Italy stuff in here fo' sho' in a few months!

Ooh, if it's super-contemporary, I'd say the two bottom photos are the most austere-feeling. I like them all a lot, but those would be my choices.
 
I think I made comments in this thread in early stages, then forgot about it until bumped. I should've followed it more closely, I admire intriguing photography (I do not have much talent in that area). Giving @Angie a belated Like for initial post.

Personal choice would be the dog because it looks like a Boston Terrier which is what my fur baby is :)

But for contemporary I'd go with bottom left. If you have room for more than just the one frame you could do a mini gallery wall with the other pictures too.
