"Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography) and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication."
-Wikipedia on Photography

With the first floor overhaul of my home being 90% completed, i visited the veranda and was finally able to see what's behind my house properly, the view was so pretty that i decided to shoot a few photos for the image thread, but i ended up taking 34 pictures so i deleted those that were shit and only 12 good ones remained, if i post this on the image thread i will end up flooding it. That's when i had the brilliant idea of making a photography thread, if you got a camera around you should shoot something that you like or find interesting, could be something small but peculiar as an ant-hill to a cool graffiti or car, maybe even show off that fancy computer case you probably have.

This is what's around me, a favela on a hilly area in the northeast region of brazil. There are 3 main features in those pictures
>favela
>the atlantic forest
>the 2 distant cities
We are currently going through winter right now, it was overcast when i shot those photographs and it started raining soon after i finished taking them. Another cool feature about this place is that it sits not so far from an airport; therefore also near an flight route, making it a great location for aircraft spotting. Planes from all sizes follow this route, from propeller single engines to airbuses and even military cargo planes, i once saw a HUGE green one, i think it might have been this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_KC-390

The rest of the photos will be posted very soon, this is only the beginning, there is much more i want to show you. Im looking forward to your photos as well.

I came across this bug that was pretty well disguised against the rough bark of the tree. It was also pretty shy and kept running away.

These photos are very visually pleasing. I suppose it's because there's a nice contrast between warm and cold colors. Also, I don't know much about photography, but I think you did a great job with the composition.
By the way, thank you for bringing back those photos from our old bunker.

Those are photos of Rennes-le-Château, right? I read about that place some months ago. Apparently, some people believe that Bérenger Saunière found some papers or even a treasure buried there. Anyway, Rennes-le-Château seems to be a very beautiful and interesting place in itself. It must be great to be there.
>>823
Pretty cool. It looks like a stink bug, but I've never seen one that color before. By the way, I really like the texture of that tree.

 No.855

>>825
Yes, it's Rennes. The story beyond it it's huge and it goes far beyond to finding simple treasure, and it includes the human nature of Christ and other heretic traditions.
In the last years there has been some demythification of all of it but I still think there's some mysteries there, you don't see that many people including prime ministers visiting a minuscule town just because some priest invented a cool story.

I took these photos some months ago. If I remember correctly, it was a homemade candle that went wrong during a blacked out. It's not a very interesting story, but I think they look cool.
>>855
>you don't see that many people including prime ministers visiting a minuscule town just because some priest invented a cool story
That's a good point. It's very strange story, but generally, every legend has a basis of truth. I wouldn't be surprised if there were something more layered or subtle behind this story.
>>879
What type of bird makes a nest like that? I know it's larger than normal, but it's the first time I've seen something like that. Anyway, I think my favorites are the second and third photo. I really like how that tree look and there's something very relaxing about the third picture.

 No.886

>>885
Your photos remind me of when I was using some candles in a blackout and stuck matches into the melted wax which worked like extra wicks.

Thanks for your comments on my pictures. The birds are called orange-footed scrubfowl. They build these big mounds for the incubation of their eggs but roost in trees and can be seen flying up to the tops of trees in the early evening (they look awkward in flight).
Those trees seem weird to me. Most trees have some degree of symmetry about them but those trees always grow into a weird shape. To me they always look like they are struggling to survive.

Really enjoy going for a walk in the morning without having to worry about going to work like everyone else. There were lots of birds out looking for food but they are too hard to take pictures of using a phone camera.

Yeah, it's nice that the government really encourages planting trees and there are lots of parks and nature reserves within the urban area.
I'm not sure about the sky, kind of seems like how it normally looks.

These three photos are really beautiful. I love the fact that each one has a very clear color palette. Actually, I'd even say they wouldn't look out of place in a magazine. However, I think my favorite it's the first one. There's something about it I really like.

I went on a bit of a hike recently and took a few pictures, unfortunately they are not very interesting but that's what the landscape here looks like. My phone screen was almost dead so it was hard to even see what I was taking a picture of and impossible to evaluate what I had taken until I got home.
It wasn't as hot as it looks, the sun was hot (of course) but the worst part at the start was mostly in the shade and afterwards there was a nice breeze for most of the way.

Great photos. I love the first one, it looks like a frame from documentary film and I really like the fact that you can see the horizon (I live in a place surrounded by mountains, so it's impossible to see something like that here). i also like the last one a lot. You captured a pretty cool moment there.

Thanks, I saw the crow (it was pretty big!) flying over when I was getting in the car, then after pecking a hole in the bag of dog food and trying some it flew over to a tree and came back with a friend, and for a bit they were both there. Unfortunately the friend (I think) got spooked and split when I went to take the picture.
