What kind exactly do you want ? I can take some tomorrow for you.

Leaves or water would be nice!

Water will be somewhat hard, needs lots of preparation. I have lots of plants here, I'll take the photos when I come back home tomorrow and PM you. How many pictures?

As many as you feel like, but I'd prefer at least 3.

I'll take some right now of leafs, etc, I'll PM them to you later.
One question: Where are they going to be used ? You'll make a theme for yourself or publish somewhere?

Edit:
Just sent you the PM with the album's link. Hope they are good enough, I didn't had time to plan great pictures, I need to take some sleep, hehe.

For this last one, I used the following title/description:
''What matter is what you can't see.
See through the details, and you will discover a new meaning to every thing you look at. ''

For the ones wondering what kind of equipment I use, I did a "What's in my bag" photo, I suggest you look at my flickr, because of it's notes, so you can see precisely what each thing is:

Thanks Dreamviews for the 1600+ views in this thread, I'm really happy. And my best thanks for the people who comment here, in this thread, each one of you guys

These are all amazing! I especially love the recent one with the leaf, I'm a huge fractal guy! =D

Thank you
These were the last ones, I don't know when I'll have more, looks like I'm running out of things, hehe

Out of curiosity, do you know what kind of plant the leaf picture is?

Here in my country, we call it "Erva cidreira", I belive it's from the family of the lemongrass plant, but the one I photographed have individual leafs, and the lemongrass have long ones.
It's scientific name is Melissa officinalis, take a look on wikipedia.

Looks like you really know what you're doing. I'm just getting into photography myself. The best camera I've got is a Nikon coolpix S570 (One of those pocket-size types), but my dad has a pretty nice (relatively) Sony that he probably wouldn't mind letting me borrow, seeing as he rarely uses it. Any tips for a newbie?

Thank you Supernova.
Do you know what kind of camera is that Sony you mentioned? I mean, is this a superzoom or a SLR - digital or film ? I belive you are talking about a reflex, the most important thing here is the lens. But, since you are starting, you should learn about the basics, like Exposure, ISO, Aperture, Lens focal distance, etc. Knowing about those settings will let you experiment with your photos, since you know how each one will affect the photograph. If you want, I would be glad answering your questions, or you can search for a tutorial on the internet, there is lots of them in sites like Digital Cameras: Digital Photography Review, News, Reviews, Forums, FAQ

If your camera has a manual mode (usually it's marked as a ''M"), you should start here, experiment with the settings, see what your camera can do; get to know what the lens you are using are for, for example, if it's a fisheye for landscapes (like a 10mm), a general use, usually kit-lens (like a 18-55mm), macro lens, tele-photo, etc.

If you know exactly what the kind of camera it is, I can give you better advice, but independent from the kind of camera you are using (compact, superzoom or reflex), you must get to know the technical thing, exposure, ISO, etc, as I mentioned before.

I would KILL for your camera. I'm still saving up but almost there... going to start out with a simple one first though.

Well, Elsia, you can have the camera, but not the lens. Not even if I'm dead ! Hahahaha !
Take a superzoom - the ones with 20 - 18x zoom, that still a compact camera, but not a professional - it's in the middle of both categories - I learned with one of these, they have all manual controls, but lack quality at even in middle ISO (400+ it's get noisy as hell), they are excellent to outdoor photography. After you learn the techniques, etc, go for a reflex. Superzooms are relatively cheap.

Took this one today:

Hey, I was typing a post a while ago which I just remembered never actually got posted. The camera is a (digital) Sony CyberShot DSC-H50 9.1 MP with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 15x optical zoom lens. Depending on which mode it's in, I can set automatic or manual ISO, aperture, and shutter speed values, so it seems like a pretty good camera to learn on...provided my dad lets me borrow it, he's still undecided.

Also, thanks for those links, I'll do some serious reading through that site when I have more time.

Oh, it's a H50 then, I had one before my D40, it's a great camera, but it fucks up with high ISO - above 200 - so much noise. It's great for outdoor photography.

If you visit my flickr, you can see some photos with the H50 I had: From page 18 to page 13.
I know this camera pretty well, if you need something, just PM me.

Took this one today, not a very very good picture, just to update:

Wow Amazing stuff, keep the pictures coming

Thanks.

I'm not photographing lately, and I don't think I'll soon.

So, I took this little serie yesterday:
''I know this kind of picture is well-known, but I thought of doing some with my style and kind of photography. I got four good ones, I will upload through the week.
I used a water sprayer.''





Maybe I'll post the last two ones this weekend if you guys like.

I belive the size of the photos on my flickr stream are bigger.





And that's it. Tell me what's your favourite

WOW! man i totally love your photos!
Count me as a fan !

Haha, thank you very much
