I love the simplicity of the digital camera and as an IT geek, I just love being able to alter the image via the PC.

LOL, I share my life with one who lives and breaths IT and gets frustrated at times with my basic level knowledge....hmmm, we can't all be the genius he is!! I did get caught up for awhile in the beauty of digital for alterations and repairs, but lately have been in a place where some are challenging the urge to rely on that. The result has been good in that I have found myself trying harder to get back to where I was before digital by getting the best shot I can, and not needing to alter unless it is to add special effects. I am enjoying the challenge of having to produce unaltered shots which I can be proud of, and I think overall I am improving beyond any previous level I felt I had reached. Still love playing with them by choice, but find it is less often I have to.

I understand totally what you mean, there is a wonderful sense of satisfaction when you catch that elusive perfect image. It's happened to me once so far ... I can only hope that as I take more pics it happens more regularly. I have my own pic thread where I use myself as the model but I would love to try taking some of other people. Using yourself as a model can be extremely frustrating.

a pic thread I let slide

here some pictures from peru again - from a three day hike to some remote mountain villages...

 

[BlackSnake]

I didn't do anything on Sunday, but sit in front of the TV, so...

 

[BlackSnake]

I don't really know what I was looking for, but I kept shooting....maybe it was shot 20

 

[BlackSnake]

It was nice out, but I just didn't feel like going any where...

I started to think, how great Michael Douglas must have it knocking up this chick time after time, but the one thing that I've learned is that a lot of guys think that the chick is lucky to be with them...

Scary Movie 3 on TV...

 

[Silverlily]

These are some shots from the National Aquarium in Baltimore. I did them as wallpapers for my daughters.

Shot with a Nikon D70 and cleaned up with PhotoShop. (Never take pictures of fish while they're being fed, clouds the water.)

beautiful pictures, silverlily.... i did some pictures in an aquarium once, but as i don't have a tripod and my camera is not digital (thus i tend to have more problems when there isn't much light) they ended up much too blurry...


today just a sunset from "my" village in peru... i know the horizon is not quite straight - again, having no tripod i had to stable my camera on some stones, and that was best i could do...

It's a wonderful picture

I only picked up a tripod recently and have yet to take it on a photo shoot with me. I have many, many pictures where the horizon isn't level. My hands aren't the most stable, and when I use the viewfinder I always crook the camera slightly, not sure why..

How did I know this was going to happen sooner or later

thanks... actually i often take the picture out of my hands, without stabling the camera, when the light really is to low for that, and quite often it's okay... but a tripod would still be nice...

anyway, here is another one from my village - it isn't actually as blurry as it looks here, that has more to do with the scan...

I put my tripod in the car this morning, but it was cloudy,expecting rain, so I didn't go out shooting today.

Speed Shooting

I shot these today at 1/800 5.6

70-300mm Quantaray lense

 

[BlackSnake]

Crap! I suck shooting the moon....

 

[BlackSnake]

More ducks....

 

[Munachi]

Crap! I suck shooting the moon....

Where in the heck are you with all these great sights?

 

[SlickTony]

Okay, last one for now.
These are my babies.

(The orange one is Mr. Peepers. The other is Tempers. Hehe.)

Aw, what darling babies! That's one of the few times you can get cats to pose for the camera--when they're asleep.

Morning moon....maybe I should have focused on the foreground

 

[BlackSnake]

By George, I think I've done it

Manual focus using a slow shutter speed. I focused on the trees instead of trying to focus on the moon.

What I like most about this photography is that it is much lighter than it was out side.

Looks spiffy BS
