I've been working on my Photobucket album at: Open Original Shared Link

(You have to click on the sub album name to see the pictures in that album)

I've added some pictures, plus created multiple sub albums: Flowers, Wildlife, Sunsets/Landscapes, Night Photos, People. I'd be interested in which category you like the best, which picture in that category you like the most and why.

Just in case there are any bored people out there. j

I'd say I like the macros, and unique angles the most. The wildlife ones are... too close to ordinary. But those are *tough* to get anything else.

I'd encourage you to toy with not centering your subjects. It struck me that the pictures all were similar in some way, and one of those ways is that the subject is all center in the frame, or very nearly. That 'standard' gets... dull, and many photo instructors encourage their students from getting away from it. A lot of those pictures would gain a lot from a cropping that moves them away from being 50/50 weighted horizontally and vertically.

(some of my examples:

Right...you have to understand that what you are seeing are huge 3888 x 2592 images that

I've quickly scaled down to 640x480 to place on the web. These images could be cropped

numerous ways for effect... The crispness of these images also suffers a bit during the

resizing process. Having said that, yes, not centering is something I could be better at, but

I always know, when I'm taking an image, that I can crop it later if I like. I keep my

best images in "RAW" format so that I don't risk any degradation from processing them multiple times...

I know. :) And I only say it as constructive criticism, since I know that you're very good and can get even better. Composition is always a challenge, and cropping can take ages - at least it's faster on the computer than in the darkroom. (I can't tell you how many hours I spent in the darkroom trying to crop images to the proper composition.) I know the rub - you don't want to alter what you captured, but you still have to present your best foot forward.

Once you go to put them up on the web, for your electronic portfolio, as it were, that 640x480 is all that's going to matter, and there's plenty of room for cropping from a 7mp pic down to that. :) Just modify from copies, rather than the original, and you'll always have your pristine copy to work from, and you can crop to your heart's content. :)

Heh... the fun one is having two or three competing (in your mind) compositions for the same subject and really not being able to decide between them. Sigh.

My current 'exercise' is better identifying unusual and interesting subjects - not just the generic every day things, which sometimes just means finding dramatically different angles. It's fun, but gets dirty when you lie down in the middle of the street on your stomach. :P

I am intresting in the nature and the beach with white sand. Especially to frame them, the colors are so vivid. My wife and kids love to see these kind of pictures around the house.

My wife says that I keep taking pictures of the same stuff. I tell her, take me somewhere new and I'll take pictures of it:)

I like to take pictures when I go out running. I carry an itty bitty pocket point and shoot camera.

new link? that one appears to be broken. (perhaps photobucket has a limit on how many pictures you can see without registering?)

Oops, I posted a faulty link..my bad...Hopefully this will work.

I use a Canon SD630 PowerShot when I go running. It's got a decent macro function. Not a substitute for a DSLR and Macro lens...but you can carry it running:)

Excellent, I like it. What is the resolution or the magnification of your camera.

Thank you. Most of these are shot with a point and shoot Canon SD400. It's alright, but mostly it's small enough for hiking. :) The rest are shot with a Nikon D70 DSLR. Both are 5mp cameras. (It's not the size of the sensor; it's how you use it. :lol: )

Really, it's a matter of practice and instruction on the subject. And lots and lots of practice. In the 11 months, I have taken nearly 5000 pictures. I started doing photography nearly 20 years ago. (Yes, before I was 10.) These days, I'd say about 15-20% of what I take, and it's only that high because half the time I'm documenting some event that's occurring. :)

just curious, JerryK, did you take this pic of yourself?

I think I took it with my a small point and shoot on "timer mode" at the beach after running.

Honestly can't remember I have so many photo's.

You inspired me to bring my camera on a walk to the store (to get shampoo!) and take pictures. Turned my 15 minute walk into a ~70 minute walk. :)

(For reference, this is 36 out of the 140 pictures I took. Some whole subject groups didn't come out at all - especially the bees. :( And a nearly great one of a yellow jacket.)

Okay, I've really got to get into the digital age. I love taking photos, but my Canon is an SLR film camera. You guys are having too much fun.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
