The Photographer.

[BrianN]

As we are all aware it's the photographer that creates the image not the equipment we use but like me how many of us turn the lens upon ourselves.

We are exploring this theme with Photographic Connections with Kim Grant.

This was an image I created today after the webinar we had as I sat next to a silver birch tree listening to it and felt it would be great to have a photo of me next to this wonderful species of trees I have so much pleasure being in and photographing.

It would be great to see images of the members behind the camera

Gladhouse Reservoir, Midlothian, Scotland

I have thought about the topic too. We live in an age of casual selfies, but true self portraits would be worth the effort in a forum such as this. I am traveling at the moment but maybe next week I'll participate in this discussion.

The drummer has drool coming out both sides of his mouth.....

Badum tish!

Sorry Kev

 

[Tim Mayo]

I don’t think I have a single shot of me shooting and I’m not big into self portraits. I’ll have to see what I can arrange with the wife. Until then here’s a phone selfie. I typically only take them with the kids and various animals

You can go off of people...

Wait, there's more:

How can you tell a drummer's at the door?
The knocking speeds up.

What's the last thing a drummer says in a band?
"Hey, how about we try one of my songs?"

How is a drum solo like a sneeze?
You know it's coming, but there's nothing you can do about it.

What did the drummer say to the band leader?
"Do you want me to play too fast or too slow?"

I left the rude one's out.

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

You do know that Drummers hit things with sticks... just saying
