Now we arrive on the Ugly Name Side of Pitcairn Island. It refers to part of the southern coast of the island. The origin of the name is unknown, but if I may speculate here, given that this coast faces straight towards Antarctica with absolutely nothing in between, it must get lashed by some particularly ugly cold breezes.

Pitcairn Place Names
 
Yeah, they usually are. I just have my limits in how much I'm going to spend on one particular item alone unless I'm determined to keep it around for a long time and not let it collect dust.

Given that I've taken somewhere in the vicinity of 12,500 photos in the last year, I think this new camera won't exactly be gathering dust. :lol:

Plus photographic trips are a great excuse to go to different places.

Good god, man! I barely know how to work the fucking camera that I borrow from my friend. Photography has obviously never been a hobby of mine, given that before the last couple months, I'd taken maybe all of 100 photos in my entire life with a camera!

It's funny, before I got my digital camera, I really hadn't taken many photos at all either. When I was about 14, I'd done some film photography, mainly of trains, but that resulted in all of three or four rolls of film. Certainly nothing to write home about. The camera usually only came out on special occasions.

Now I can't get enough.

I fumbled with a camera for a while but I'm only just now getting used to it.

I tend to take it with me whenever we go places in the hopes of catching a train on the tracks but I keep forgetting when we're getting close to the various railroad tracks through where I live and I keep missing them! :doh:

And most of the time, there's one sitting there! :|

Other than that, I like to take pictures of the sky a lot. I've caught a couple of different spectrums before, which were really cool, but nothing really overly impressive.
 
:laugh: There's a reason I never leave home without my camera. Though the DSLR will probably be large enough that I won't be able to carry it around everywhere, so the point-and-shoot I currently use has some life left in it yet.

Besides trains, I find I most enjoy photographing landscapes, especially rivers. Water never fails as a photographic subject.

I've never bothered to photograph water before. Though I was taking some from our all day trip up north to the candy store. Various shots of the sky, the road, the snow. Stuff like that. Then I realised how dirty the window I was sitting next to was. :laugh:
 
Hey Vazza! :wave:

I've always been attracted to rivers and lakes anyway, so my love of photographing them is really just a natural extension of that.

And I avoid shooting through windows whenever possible. I hate having a good shot ruined by some ugly smear. I've taken a few good shots through windows, but that's not all too common.
 
Come on, post the Kyoto stats :waiting:

I was stuck in the car, since the drive was something close to three hours. Most of the shots came out really good, but there's one, particularly where the sun was shining through the clouds, that you can see the smudges on the window.

I am sure as I get out more, I'll be dragging that camera along and taking tons more photos. It's a lot of fun once you get started!
 
pitcairn island just sucks, huh? as if pitcairn wasn't bad enough, all the suburbs had to be given hideous names as well.

brilliant.

I haven't even read it. Given that blog comment he left on Rolling Stone, I feel for the copyeditor.

Heh, when we were driving around rural Queensland, I was fairly frequently sticking the camera out the window. It was so hot on a couple of days that we tried to stick to having the air conditioning on with the windows up, and I missed a few good shots thanks to that. I also missed a number of cool things because they were on the other side of the road and we couldn't stop. Shame we don't have a car with a sunroof, then I could just stand up through that and photograph all 360 degrees. (Though if the police spotted that, I'm not sure they'd be amused ...)

If it hadn't been winter time, I would have crawled up into the middle seats (we were in a van and the very back windows don't open) and opened the window to take some of the photos I took rather than snapping them through filthy glass.

Though when we went to look at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve (during which, I discovered how much night photography sucked arse), I DID end up rolling down the window and sticking the camera out it. Luckily I have gloves, but I am sure my friend would not be too amused if the camera slipped out of my hands.
 
well it's a bit better than that, but the nyt has better copy editors.

it makes me feel for whoever someday co-writes his autobiography/book-long editorial.
