because its a strange fascination i have . . . i want to see where you work! heres mine: various photos of locations i work in regularly
I'm at work to work, not to carry around a camera. Oops....... apparently I'm also at work to post on photo forums..... My camera wouldn't work well with how dark it is here. I could sneak in some shots, but I think the management team would go nuts on me if they found out I posted photos of the workplace online. Doubt they would like seeing me setting up a tripod instead of working either.
I am currently on the roles of those that formerly paid tribute to the weekly reminder of that which we slave for. the company I worked for laid off ~2500 since Jan 12th. Due to this, I am eligible for work force retraining which I am looking to take advantage of for Land Survey / Civil Engineer Technology. It should allow me significant more time in the field to enjoy scenes such as these. I am also retired from the national guard and enjoying my free time from there as well.
I must say, Thanks for the well wishes. I also now see I suspect something is NOT right with either my Camera or my lens. The milkweed and pasture images above were both taken last October shortly after I got my camera. Since then, I have lost a LOT of the crispness and edge in the pictures.
Yeah, same here. I'm pretty sure security would be escorting me out the door before I even got a shot off if I pulled out an SLR (or any camera, for that matter) at work... I've only had one job that let me bring a camera in, and I think it was just because they didn't know any better. EDIT I wish I could take pictures at work though... The crappieness of the photography in our newsletters & slideshows always blows me away. I know most of the time they're just using some P&S to take quick snaps (which is part of the problem I guess - P&S + quick snaps), but they don't even bother to weed out the out of focus or motion blurred ones... I wish I could hand them a portfolio or something to show them how much better it could be, but how do you build a portfolio of stuff you're not allowed to take pictures of?
No, I work in a manufacturing plant. Manufacturing plant lighting plus non-dSLR camera equals really crappy shooting conditions unless using a tripod. ISO 800 for lighting conditions just doesn't work with a superzoom camera. Noise Noise Noise...
Economic downturn = unemployment x 2. My husband just returned to work again but I am still waiting and doing what I can in the meantime. You know what they say: It takes money to make money....sigh. But I am putting my time to good use. I am working on a business plan to try to open my own studio! (kneels and prays)
