Best photo(s) you ever took?

[Fatal Rewind]

Quality-wise, this one doesn't quite make it--look closely at the guy's Atari shirt, you can tell it's a little blurry, due to the camera screwing up at the gaming expo last month that I attended--but the rest of it came out pretty well, as there's almost no glare at all (all the machines came out well before anti-glare monitors were created), his head doesn't block out the Lunar Lander marquee (plus you can see a little of the "out of order" sign on it ), and most of all, great smile on the guy, not one of those "fake camera smiles". It's so good, I would like to use it for my next awful driver's license photo, but there's some silly laws in regards to Fraud and/or Tampering With a Government Document that says that isn't legal.




I didn't realize how lucky this shot was for a while, due to trying to get a shot of another owl that had been mocking me for years, which THE only photo I could get was a dark blur...making me realize that you had to have another light source in order to be able to snag a rare photo such as this when it's dark out (there was an outside light on underneath the owl, which is what enabled enough light for it to show up, along with the included camera flash).




Nice to be able to crop out some of the photo so these two would kind of balance out the space between them, at the opposite ends of the window ledge

Unfortunately, no sunset, beach, or geological formation kind of type pictures, but I might be able to dig up stuff such as that from from a previous Kodak Disc camera that were pretty good, although the quality won't show up as well when I take photos of those or scan them, but you should get the idea. I'll get to those later...

Just wanted to comment:

Very nice pictures Fatal. I liked them all.. I wouldnt have ever noticed the shirt was a little blurry if you didn't point it out.

That owl pic IS very good. It's very hard to get pictures of them. You've posted that one on here before, right?

As for the pet pic, you said it's cropped? So were they actually a lot farther apart when you took it?

The one White provided is pretty good, like that contrast of the darkness inside of the bridge (overpass?) with the bright green of the overgrown lawn...even though it *is* a bit of a mess And I like the previous one as well, with the rays of sunlight streaming through...

Thanks...yeah, I was just pointing it out, is all...the majority of it still turned out pretty decently though...

Yeah, I realized a couple of years later that I was lucky, due to having another light source so the owl would show up at all. Plus most people don't get to see owls anyway, in general.

Yep!

No, I mean I cut out more of the window, so more attention could be focused on the pets...that's one of the advantages of a digital camera!

Yeah, here are the ones I had in mind...



Aside from the background being a bit cluttered, this is a good "action" shot: our previous cat, Tabitha, considered bathing to be VERY sacred, and would swat at anyone who dared try to interrupt her...like my friend Eddie here, whom she got on with well, coming very short of his nose right here. (R. I. P. kitty)



Everyone cracks up from this photo; this guy looks like he's going to explode or something (and yeah, I'm guessing that was a perm ). This is (was? I know they were still together until at least 2001 or '02) the singer of the heavy metal band TNT (I think his name was Tony Harnell) that I got autographs and photos of at an in-store appearance. Underground is WAY better than the "big guys", as only one guy out of everyone from Queensryche would look at me as I was yelling at them to look at the camera, plus the dumbass drummer flipped to the front of the magazine cover of the photo spread that they were in and put his autograph over Vinnie Vincent's face (who was on the cover) before I could stop him. Uh, you see the squiggly lines UNDERNEATH his photo? That was VINNIE'S autograph, a**hole! And that's what's known as ruining an autograph. Bunch of asses, really. But TNT were pretty cool, which is ironic, considering that some people compared Harnell to 'ryche singer Geoff Tate.



This one I might try scanning later, it looks WAY better than it appears here. Due to freezing cold temperatures/snow not happening very often here, some genius thought he would water down his tree the night before; some kids were looking at it when I wanted to photograph it. I've since had a moron or two ask if they were my kids. "Yeah, the black and the Mexican kid are my natural-born sons, but the little white boy was adopted." I got a few weird looks back...killer photo though, even though all I was using (for all of these pics) was a Kodak Disc camera.
