Avatar = photo by you?

[chris1968]

eer - no - but then you'd probably guessed being the erudite and astute bunch you are
nothing in the folio that i'd want to set as an avatar at the mo - when there is i will change it, till then i decided i needed something and i used to be a big Calvin and Hobbes fan.....

[Frankenstein]

Yes...it's a photo of our innkeeper that I took last year on a trip to Molvania. Funny guy, though ...didn't speak much, just grunted a lot. I last saw him leading a band of villagers on a torch-lit run through the forest.

Chris, how can you used to be a fan Once you're a fan, you're always a fan Calvin and Hobbes was a great comic and one of the best for me...but I'm biased

[JordanP]

Yes I shot my avatar (not literally). Bored of it now though so a new one will appear soon.

Cheers,

[Heath Bennett]

I like the way no-one has put 'what's an avatar'

It show that everyone here takes polls seriously - different from 'donkey voting' But then again, donkey votes usually occur when no good choices can be made, in politicians for example

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

shame. great pic like that

The donkey vote is either where people select the first choice, or write 1 2 3 4 etc down the page in preferential voting.

So maybe there has been a strong donkey vote

Will the person who voted "What's an avatar?" please stand up (Heath?)

Remember In the end U will know Nothing

[tasadam]

Yep. That's my bike. Triumph Sprint ST on the Lyell highway, Tasmania. You want windy roads - go there!
I chose this photo because it's one I'm not likely to get bored of. I'm lazy like the rest of us that can't be bothered changing it.
Taken with an Olympus C770 before I owned the Nikon.
I'm planning to get a big bit of foam for the kit box in the back so I can make cutouts for the camera gear. 2 passions combined!

[Alpha_7]

A Pic of Me and an Iris.

Not a good shot, but one I thought was interesting enough to go beside my posts.

[Luke Smith]

This is a self portrait, of sorts, taken with my Nikon FTn (circa 1973) which my dad gave to me. This was taken into one of those circular magnifying make-up mirrors belonging to my fiancée. Not at all to do with the D70, or even digital for that matter, apart from being scanned on a Cannoscan film scanner.

[edneeves]

Yep. A lotus flower growing on one of the ponds in the ancient capital of Thailand.

Hard not to take good pictures in Thailand!

[Pluto]

Didn't have an avatar until now . Took this shot in January 2003 with my cp990. Would love to have another go with my D70.

Love your avatar shot! Would like to see a larger version posted on the forum.

[Raskill]

No, it's just a photo of friends at a BBQ....

Well, someone trying to BBQ my friends, the difference is negligable.

[Tom]

Yes, I took it in 1989 with my old Pentax ES2

This is a crop of a photo that I used to enter a funny photo competition. I won a deluxe dog kennel.

Tom

[Alex]

Yes.

Alex

[Holden]

Yep , its my daily driver

[Cyrus]

Yep took my avatar shot while walking around out in the sticks with my Canon, wasn't really looking for anything in particular, so this shot fit that category perfectly.

Cyrus

[Manta]

My latest avatar change is actually a picture taken by a friend at last year's Amberley airshow. My brother was an F111 pilot and instructor back in the 80s and my family and I have a real affinity for them.

[Cyrus]

Great shot Manta, ironically my avatar was shot only minutes from Amberly RAAF base

Don't look too closely Cyrus...the clouds were added in afterwards. A boring blue sky was just that...boring!

[beetleboy]

Just changed mine..stop giggling, yes that is me!

[beej]

Mine is a Picture taken by the Jazz Photographer Jeff Sedlik of Dizzy Gillespie.

[Link]

Yes, it was actually one of the first pictures I took with my D70, an "origami of peace"!

Link.

[waspo]

Yes

[Andoru]

Yes.

[Digidegs]

Spilt my alphabet soup and could not figure the order out again........

[Escapism]

Yep

[johnd]

Yep, it was one of the first I took with my D70 and the first image I posted on D70Users. The image is nothing special but a certain sentimental attachment. BTW, why can't I vote in the poll??

[krpolak]

With ambisions to be photographers could we use photos not taken by us?

[stubbsy]

BTW, why can't I vote in the poll??

Good question John. I don't know - I think I set it up never to expire when I created it. Maybe this is an artifact of the recent forum move.

[mchampio]

Yep this was my first posted image on the forum.
I even managed not to annoy the parents of the other children by making them unrecognisable

[MCWB]

Tup, me with LS2 (or having a bright idea ) by me.

[NeoN]

Yes!!!and that's my Birdog Ebony

NeoN

[MHD]

No...mine is a rendered POVRAY of a pot of grass...

The origin of which is a long story

[shinwood]

No.... but I would love to meet this dude and take a photo of my own.
Rockabilly is my other passion and Brian Setzer (dude in pic) is the king of modern Rockabilly...in my opinion of course.

Thanks for asking though.....

[stubbsy]

Sonny

I'd never heard of Brian Setzer until Leigh (nnnnsic) introduced me to his big band orchestra (which I think he moved onto after his rockabilly days). Now I'm a convert - great in the car!

[Big V]

Sure is

[jberth1]

Yep - Bridge shooters unite !!
