Same, save my thing is nighttime industrial photography.

Are these taken with an infrared filter? Is that how the sky is so dark? Surely you don't just burn the sky!

Also my favorite subject and style. This is what i took when I first started photography and before I found DPC.

The burn tool was the first thing I learned.

To say the least.... She's been one of my favorites ever since I found this wonderful place called DPC. Shine on Girl! :-)

I don't think I have a niche either. When I look at all my challenge pictures they seem a very eclectic collection. All sorts of styles and types. When I'm voting on the challenges I can tell who did so many of the pictures just because of the style of the picture or the subject matter, not just dramatic pictures like the Heida's does but a lot of other people, too. Often times, my husband looks through the pictures with me before I vote and I'll be saying - that one is Zoomdak's, that's Bobster Lobster's, that's Willem's, that's Mocabela's the list could go on and on.

Sometimes, I wonder if people can ever spot mine, if I have a certain style that I don't see.

I guess I'm the candid guy then...

... and many many more... people in theyr natural habitat doing theyr everyday things, that's what I like to do the most. I keep trying other stuff too but they never seem to work so well, so I guess this is my thing.

I think I fit in the out-of-the box group... Trying new things and scoring low for it.

Working on using my camera to capture some unusual views...that past challenge kinda sparked me...Like to use interesting views with "street photgraphy" perhaps gutter views or low views to catch what a ant might see...always sticking my camera places that are wierd or wouldn't think about before.

going towards simple shots, b/w with neg. spaceing of white color...however, my subjects have to be very interesting to look at and mostly with color added....I have a photo done with a building, an intersting building and view with very vivid color...it's neat I think...post soon..still working out the details to the image...and the style of my own.

Also too, photos that a theme to them within a series.

Working on a Pano shot of progression of seasons all in one continous shot.

I do love or found a small niche in getting great storm fronts (seasonal)....inspired. More about the chase of the storm and dangerous winds/hail/ and tornados. I haven't cought one yet...

I'm too green to have a niche...but someday I'd love to do a series of rural or western-themed landscapes, or a real working cowboy series. I also have this crazy idea for a series of shots of water towers...don't ask me why. ;o)

Funny, I have a water tower shot from last week I took....it's in my backlot of photos to work on later....has something to do with the white nature of the tower pipes and curves with shadows that seem to get my attention of such otherwise, mudane objects....I think I know where you are going and thinking here about water towers...good luck..:) Besides, what else can you shoot out in BFE? :)

For me this is one of the most memorable shots on the site. Tragic, but a great observation - and an example of how technical perfection is irrelevant sometimes.

I'm glad I'm not insane... thank you for understanding!!!! There are at least 10 or so that I pass by every day to and from work... and they are different colors, shapes, styles... I'm just fascinated with them and their surrounding natural habitat... I'll shut up now, I sound like a nut!

and yes...not much else to shoot in BFE!!!!

I don't think I have a niche, though I can usually get pretty good waterfall shots (consistently). Other than that, it is pretty much hit and miss.

Someday, I would like to do a series of "Appalachian Kids"

YW and you are not nuts BTW. Was Andy Warhol nuts? Hmmm, He manage to be known the father of Pop Art with a Polaroid Camera! What is so neat about a creative mind is that it can be unlimited with visions in taken something (watertowers) and giving the world a new look on how we see them through the artist's eyes. I say be wild and crazy with the idea....sounds that you have much to work with here....colors, designs, as well natural elements that could be used as well...snow background, rain, stormy clouds...all used with the contrast of colors from the towers...or two, perhaps make a "digital art work" out of all (10)...and say screw the integerity of a photo...break some rules and then make up your own, so others can break THEM...:) Again, this is what this forum is about; finding yourself within the images that you take.
