    Photography

    Anyone else here into photography? Its a small side hobby of mine. Im focused on nature, old/abandoned places, etc. I try and get out there whenever I can, super relaxing and the adventures are great. If any of you are on instagram, check my stuff out! My account name is j_coseni.

    If anyone else does photography, whats your interests/focus? What camera are you using? Iv got a Sony A300 and my Samsung S3. The phone actually takes great pictures too!

    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    My wife is into it somewhat. Me..not so much. lol.

    She likes taking photos anywhere we go. She likes nature the best tho. Driving from our house to Hatteras involves a lot of stopping so she can snap shots of the ocean, dunes, an wild life.

    While I don't take photos, I do enjoy looking at them.

    You ever get down this way I'll give you some places worth your time to take your camera, an it's not all on the sandbar. Lots of history around my sandbar. Ships, farms, forts (civil war) an more.

    I see pics all the time of abandoned stuff, and amazing nature down there. I mean we have amazing nature here too but not the same as down there. And you've got waaay more history than up here. Love exploring old places and imagining what it was like back in its day, and the people that were there. Would love to visit again one day.

    Your always welcome.

    I'll even promise to keep all my Canada jokes online.

    I'll see if I can't find some she took, an load them to the album on here I started for sandbar ones.

    There's an abandoned town near by on the mainland..Buffalo City. Known back in the day for moonshine and logging. Not much left but a sign, buildings overgrown(not all of them still stand) an various other things from the era. I think the town lasted till the 50s, then it went away like a lot of places.

    For anyone interested. Buffalo City, North Carolina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    When I was working with Amazon back in 08, the town their Warehouse was in is called Coffeyville. Not the greatest town, but so rich in history. I loved walking around on my days off an snapping pictures with my phone. The dalton gang if I got the name right were stopped there trying to rob a bank.(They do a reenactment every year, Dalton Days) not to mention the rodeos, an other stuff.

    One thing I love about my country is all the history. It may not always be good things, but the fact it's still here for me to see, touch, wander, photograph, etc..does make me happy. Ghost towns are always fun to explore for me. Heh.

    Anyhow, back to Jord's topic!

    Who else is a shutterbug out there? Share your pictures!

    I enjoy photography, I just started using instagram a few months back and have a blast. its also fun networking. I enjoy how simple it is and there are some amazing pics on there. I am more into modifying images into cartoons or stencils using gimp or inkscape.

    I enjoy taking pictures as well. Here is my Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gravitarphotography

    I use a Canon Rebel T2i. Awesome camera! I like vehicles, city scapes, and just random stuff mostly. Night photography is also one of my favorite things to photograph.

    Been a little while since I could go out and shoot, since I was focused on school for the past couple years, but before I went into hibernation I did post this on the "Pic of yourself" Thread. I don't have access to flickr right now but I'll get a link to that up later.

    Run around with a Nikon D90

    I enjoy outdoor shooting outside in general, whether it's nature, events, buildings, night... and I just got a macro lens that I'm playing with that's turning out to be a lot of fun too.
