I was looking at the avatar's around here before I toddled off to watch some telly and this question occurred to me!

Yes

Of course I took the photo, you can see me in it.
It also explains why mine is so bad...

Daniel

No

Have a guess

Yep.... I know it's not a good photo per se, but I quite liked the perspective of the tree being (ie looking) taller than the lighthouse.... and this is the photo that prompted me to get into photography more seriously and buy a dSLR... so it has some meaning for me....

Pic = No

Inversion = Yes



Mic.

Guess I'd better answer my own question. Mine is a shot I took while sailing off Sydney on the tall ship Svanen. The pic is of another tall ship - the Bounty. On the same day member ChristianD was also present and I believe his avatar is of the same ship.

Piro. Guessed you didn't take that pic, but it raises the question - is it your x-ray and Homer just stole it from you

yes

Yep. In fact one of the first pics I took with my D70. Taken better pics since but too lazy to change it...

absolutely,

"the pirates were heading for Sydney harbour ..." (harrr harrr)

Cheers,

mic - just noticed you've finally let the cat out of the bag about how you achieve your inversions. I see from your profile you have a prototype D70 I

Yes - it's a stunning photographic masterpiece of one of my kid's toys!

Yes, but it isn't taken with the D70. Used my Olympus 5060wz.

Yes, of my smelly feet...

Yep, its the first shot I took after charging the batteries for the first time.

She even sat still?

Barry

Yep, took it at new year to remind me of what a waste of money it was.

Well, _technically_ I took a photo of the bathroom mirror...

You have a good I Stubbsy

Yes, Birddog supplied me with the 1st Proto

Stay tuned.

Mic.

I would have taken it......... but no one would lend me thier Nikon 1

Mine is a self portrait illustration

...and my model is an old favourite czech cartoon character...

A brain the size of a planet and you're asking me if I took this photo myself?
You know, had that hyperspace bypass been built, you wouldn't have to ask me this and I wouldn't have to tell you that the towel is mine.

No.

It's the name of the cover band I'm a member of. One day I might change it.......

Rosanne (wife) took the photo of Lily (cat) and me (me) with the Canon G3.

No... somebody else took the shot of the Leek... one of these days, I'll de-lazy myself to take my own shot of a Leek... until then... my avatar will remain as-is...

I took mine in the bathroom of a strip joint, hence the red light.
I used my canon Ixus

in case you were wondering what i was doing in such a place, to fulfill my innocent adolecent curiosity.

looking over my fiancee's shoulder @ the beach

Yes, nearly all my past avatars have been taken by me, and I like to change it alot - acting out my multiple personality disorder.
My current one is of a sign outside Holland Tunnel, New Jersey side (it's the underground tunnel that leads into New York City/Manhattan Island). Taken with a <shock horror> Canon!

.....yes an old studio pix done sometime in the mid to late seventies, original shot on 120 transpancy stock......

Mic.

Mic is this a .....NO .....YES ......answer or a ......YES......NO......answer.....

No. Old pic I found somewhere on the net and have used on websites and as an avatar on various forums for years, usually under the nick 'Hoppy'.

Yep. Mine's from a series of shots I took around the University of Queensland.

Like Onyx, I change mine every now and then (usually when I get sick of looking at the same thing).

I think it's only right that on a photography board we use our own photos! I've just updated my one to my entry in Challenge 5.

NO.

My wife wouldn't let me buy another D70 to take a photo of my D70, so I had to go searching the net.

In my mind, my avatar symbolises that with the D70, the sky is the limit !

One day I can hopefully change this pic to a D2X

I WISH I had taken a pic of the hoff in leather thong and jacket but alas no.

I could have sworn that your avatar was of yourself Matt before the haircut

Self portrait actually, but I wear a mask in public

On the Internet, people don't know if you are a penguin

Mine is a shot I took while on a motorcycling tour of the South Island of New Zealand. I was after the classic winding road into the distance shot.

Pre-D70, used a Sony Cybershot.

Cheers

Mine is a RNAF Iriqious taken during Op Anode, Solomon Islands with my old Nikon Coolpix 5700. I might change it soon, i'm getting a bit bored.......

Current answer NO.... But since I joined I think I have had about five... So my answer really should be...

YES
NO
NO
YES
and NO......

But at the end of this month it will be YES again.......

Yes, taken inside the Space and Science Museum in Washington DC.

Not with D70, didn't own at that stage.

Used a Pentax PS

Terry

Yep, that's my cat!

The interesting question is what the avatar represents of you, or your reason for its choice. I remember MattK making a similar comment early in the forum history. Yes I did take this shot. (also pre D70 so I will have to update it). To me the role of the Kingfisher is partly observer (hence his spot on the 'post') but also he takes this position to selectively feed on what goes on around him. Finally, there are a lot of these around my area (Sunshine Coast) and we have watched the one in the photo used as my avatar grow up and establish a relationship with us by the contribution of his presence. He even has a mate now that he brings around to us each afternoon. So there you have it, observer, feeder and contributor.

Yes..it's actually a D70 photo of a painting I created from a photo I took with my old Fuji S602Z in Botswana a few years ago. You follow?

Liam =]

Yep....taken on one of my misty cold early morning trips to work

Yes I took mine of Wollongong Old Lighthouse. Problem was me not being a compu guru I spent most of my time trying to shrink it and I think I shrank it too much. A bit too pixelly for my liking. Mind you lighthouses are quite popular.

I like being an individual like everyone else.

yessir

Yep thats me! Using mirrors and angles I have managed to capture one of my more beautiful moments
