Web-site update! (Photography 'n shi Created 18 years ago2005-12-13 20:08:09 UTC by hazardous!

Hello TWHLers!

I haven't been to this for a while. It's been a long time since my last contact with hammer. :

Anyways, since I'm not only making textures out of my photos, I uploaded a bunch of them to my website.

Here're some samples:All pictures available in the gallery. (~1.86mb)

Enjoy!

well, pointless if you don't like photos, but Very nice shots, the one of the snails and the glass were my favorites.

I love this kind of stuff!! For some reason I find broken down machinery and smashed up things (fairly lifeless) things look brilliant in photos.

This one picture sums up the character of the whole surrounding area. My favourite shot yet.

Brilliant, but it seemed a big "save our planet". The butterfly ruined it

My favs were:

1st: The shard of glass on the ground.
2nd: The chimney.
3rd: The silikon butterfly one, as I say, ruined by the butterfly, but I'm sure hippies would love it.

Bonus-quiz! Guess what this is and you can win more photos to view.

Large tyre.

Bonus-quiz again! A small hint: there's a second one, about one metre to the right

Gutter?

Nice to see you again, anyway.

Some nice photographs. Where in Berlin do you live? I remember having seen some abandoned buildings but that was more towards the outer regions of town, the centre had some totally different architecture...

How about a texture page on your site, bytheway? I think you could create a nice portfolio with what you're doing for BM:S now...

Good to see you again, bytheway.

Nice photo's indeed. Now make something with it! Gogo!

Great stuff. I especially like that stairway shot.

How much'd that camera run ya? I'm looking around for a decent digital lately, since my Pentax SLR is about to give up on me ;(

My guesses for bonusquiz: Tractor Tire and Street Railway.

Neat pictures hazardous!!

My guesses for bonusquiz: Tractor Tire and Street Railway.

Ah, of course, you have trams there. Definitely tramlines... I thought they seemed a bit narrow.

my guesses for bonusquiz :
Dustbin Lid
&
Tram lines

very nice photos

Welcome back hazardous!

Nice photos u got there.

Nice pics there haz, have you been modeling lately? I'm quiet curious to see what your up to since your last scene on Psi's website!

Those are awesome man.
I love:
The one where you are standing on a chimney.
The Urban Art
The Stair way to the sun pic

And bonus points.
Dustbin Lid?
Tramline.

The tram railway shot is awesome. The people around you must've deemed you insane.

Very nice photos. What they taken with?

AAAAAAAAAARGH! Something is terribly wrong with TWHL. Whenever I take the time to write a long reply, I get logged out and my reply is lost. T_T
Well, I hope I can remember everything I wrote...

I really didn't expect so many to like my photos. Good to see.
This makes me wanna shoot more 'real' photos.

Well, on to the replies:

I love those scenes too and I was really surprized to find something like this in my hometown.

Actually I live about one hour (public traffic) away from the heart of Berlin. If you wanna visit those places yourself, the borough is called 'Marzahn'.
About BM:S - did I tell you already? I was to about to send you a 'Surprise! I started HL2-modding.'-email, but hey.

Check out my former splash image. The building to very right is inspired by and textured with photos of an old train-repair-bay. Actually most stuff in the scene is made from photos.

Got it for 250 euros from amazon, but if you want a DSLR, get the EOS 350D! I'd die for this one.

The last 3d thing I started will become a photorealistic BM:S fun thingy. Don't wanna give away anything before it's done. But that was over a month ago and since my real life keeps me quite busy at the moment, it'll take a while till it's done. Also there might be some small prop models by me in BM:S ... maybe ... if the real modellers let me.

Wow! Somebody really likes the stairway to the sun shot. It was a struggle to find a title that satisfied me. Anyway, thanks!

Infact I feel observed very often, when I'm trying to shoot strange things from strange angles, but I guess these are used to much more weird things than just a nerd with a cam.
What're they taken with? Were those few introductory line so much that you skipped 'em? A Canon Powershot A95.

About the quiz:
1st one is a large tire, probably from a tractor. (Too easy, I guess)
2nd one is a tram rail embedded into the ground.
All those who were right, may eat some christmas cookies now.

Also thanks for those 'Welcome back dewd.' - makes me feel like I was old.

All in all, thanks for all your replies. I really needed this, as my real life is very disillusionating at the moment.

If I find the time, I might get together another very small update. Something christmas-ish, as everybody is putting santa-hats on their avatars now.

Thanks again.

Later!

I LOVE the one of you standing on a tower and taking a picture of the shadow. I think its brilliant.

Those are cool i liked the chimney the most an i also liked the train track and the sewer

Those pictures are "aces"

Haha, ok then.

I?l be looking forward to any news .

About BM:S - did I tell you already? I was to about to send you a 'Surprise! I started HL2-modding.'-email, but hey. grin -

One of the few times I was on IRC, remember?
Heh, some good things happened to me as well. I've got something else to work on for now, I'll mail you about what's going on.

Everybody sing: 'Heyaa! Christmas-update! Heyaa!'

It's a 360-degree-panorama-picture. As my java-script-skills have died from not being used, it's not as 360? as I wanted it to be. There'll be an infinitely repeating panorama, soon.
Not as large as the last one, but there's a secret! Who can find it?

Check it out!

(Who put that laser-eye-kitten up there? )

Very cool, these sorts of images fascinate me. I've gotta try making one sometimes.

I found the secret, but hazardous! wont let me post it.

Happy christmas secrets. Me likes.

Nice sort of imagery. Reminds me of those 3D images that are displayed in a skybox way, so you can rotate them as if it's completely 3D, while it's just a 3D cube. I believe I saw some of those on the VERC some time ago.

Ok, it's me again.

If you find the secret, click it!

I found it! Yay!

Nice images too, I like the look of your hometown.

Quite the tasty secret indeed.

Nice =]

Took me 3 times, but i found it :>

Nice one

Found it! (hiding secrets in photos is a shameless ploy to get people to look at them properly, instead of just glance at them. Keep up the good work!)

Haha, that was a awesome secret.

And the picture itself is awesome

great pictures Haz. keep up the good work.

cool secret

wow, I'm very impressed. Makes me want to get into photography again!

Keep it up!
