Through the window shots

[RagingInMiami]

Let's see your through the window shots. Here's mine. I call it "Saturday night on Miami Beach". Tell me what you guys think.

1. Excellent picture! and here's mine.

I really like the three different scenes you've captured! Like watching a movie with totally different but parallel plotlines. And can I just say, the inside guy on the left... yummy! :9


I took this picture many years ago in Northampton, MA. I think it's illegal to own a bookstore in Northampton and not have at least one resident cat. This particular store had three on premise at the time. They spent most daylight hours sleeping in the sunny front windows. I caught this kitty in a rare daylight waking moment.

2. Great pic as usual Raging...

You certainly know how to capture the movement of the city...

Here's one from my hometown...more of a reflection shot. I was trying to get the outlines of the factories behind in the windows...

3. Here is one I took out a window of the Idanha Hotel in Boise, ID

It was an interesting juxtaposition between the modern concrete and glass building across the street from the ornate hotel from the late 1880s.

4. OH! I really like that!

Juxtaposition and composition ... really neat!

[intheflow]

5. Very nice!

They must have just finished washing the windows for that clear high gloss! Looks like you wre staying in one cool hotel.

(Please add camera type and settings data
to posts for educational purposes. I'm a
novice, and that info would be really helpful.
Thanks)

7. That's a cool picture.

Behind the fish tank?

And you know, I'd love to add camera type and settings, but many of my pictures are so old I couldn't tell you what camera or setting. Even with my new photos I couldn't tell you settings. I noodle around with different light meters, lenses and depth of fields, usually taking multiple pictures of the same topic. I never write them down. I just seem to have a knack for taking good shots, I honestly don't know how I do it.

8. Thanks. I like your take...behind the fishtank,

but it was a sliding glass door immediately after a rain storm, bright sun at my back with the interior (behind the cat) shaded by an overhang.

A spontaneous hip shot that came out much better than the ones I planned.

9. That's a nice shot, it almost looks like one of those black light posters

FYI: I shot my through the glass photo with a Canon 10 D and a 50 mm, f 1.8 lens. I had it on manual and the aperture all the way open I exposed it on the guy on the left. I also used a flash to light up the couple sitting outside. It took me a few times to get it so the flash wouldn't reflect off the glass. You can see the light from the flash on the panel in between the two sections of glass.

10. At the zoo...

This was taken through the glass of an observation area.

[intheflow]

11. Also through the looking glass at the zoo:

I'm not sure who was watching who here!

[TahitiNut]

12. I love orangutans! (And all the great apes, actually.)

On the rare occasions I got to visit Balboa Park, I could spend hours at the orang habitats ... watching and being watched. That's a Bornean, right? (Clint Eastwood's was a Sumatran, I think.)

[intheflow]

13. I don't know the ape species.

I was thinking gorilla, so what do I know? I did take this at the San Diego Zoo.

I could watch them for hours, too. As this one does us. I suppose one learns to have patience or go mad if in a zoo. At least, that's how I've always interpreted incarcerated sapien behavior. This male certainly did give the impression of being philosophically resigned to being watched and watching back for lack of anything better to do.

14. Here's one of mine....

View from my van window in Outback Australia last year....although to be fair, my girlfriend took it as I was driving!

[TahitiNut]

15. (Hmmm...) Looks like you printed it backwards.

:evilgrin:

[Pert_UK]

16. The Aussies have many faults......

but at least they drive on the correct side of the road!

Actually, it's a problem that they have over there....Tourists coming over from the European mainland or America and getting into big 4x4 vehicles to go touring. Apparently they quite often "pull" to the wrong side of the road during emergencies because that's the natural way for them to try to steer.

17. Great Pic, Raging. The flattened perspective makes you take.....

... a second and third look, as something doesn't seem *quite right* between the foreground folks and the people in the restaurant.

Here's a couple of mine:

[TahitiNut]

18. Wow! She sure is photogenic! She looks right through the camera.

Neat.

[alfredo]

19. Very nice.

This one is 10 cent horse

[intheflow]

24. Where was that taken?

It looks like it's stuck in a 1970's time warp. I loved those horses as a kid.

20. The Detroit Train Station

It's from a series of 5 photos: http://ideamouth.com/abandoned.htm

[Reverend_Smitty]

23. We took quite a few photos of that building...

when I was in Detroit a few years ago. That's a place that just screams to be photographed. I wish I had a scanner, I'd share them with the group

[RagingInMiami]

25. I like that photo and ones on the link

I really dig those old art deco type buildings. It's a shame they let it go to hell.

[noamnety]

28. I don't know if it's possible

to have a crush on a building, but if it is, I have one of the train station.

21. Here's three my Dad took while in Europe last year

26. che under glass

Photographed from a street in Munich. Was thinking of printing it for a friend who is into Che but not sure if it's too weird with all the reflections. Thoughts?

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

27. 'Tom' the tabby, sitting in his kitchen window

I liked the abstract feel of Tom and the reflections; kinda like he's doing a "cheshire cat" and fading out of the shot.
