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. :)

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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
