Photo Stream /pics/dimaging/281766 One of the lakes in Stone Mountain Park. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=45411&1=1 I was taking pictures of the sunset when I heard a helicopter approaching. I pointed my camera up, waited for what seemed like the right moment, snapped the shutter, and hoped for the best. This is what I got! Not bad for hand-held, pointing up and barely enough time to aim, much less set it up. And he was DIRECTLY overhead. :) http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=75632&1=1 A rose, in any other color, would still look as sweet. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=26971&1=1 A swan in a lake. As serene as could be. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=19161&1=1 A few weeks ago we were at the Las Vegas Springs Preseve and I took around 100 photos. These are some of the nicer ones. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116395&1=1 I was at a party a few weeks ago and was snapping away. I liked the moodiness of this shot. All criticism is welcome http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116296&1=1 'Twas a good evening for sunset shots. There was a speed boat zooming back and forth in the bay and I was fortunate enough to capture him zooming by at just he right moment. Photo is unretouched. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=11545&1=1 This is actually a color picture. It's a waterfall in Stone Mountain Park in Georgia. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=45382&1=1 This spider was enjoying a late-night meal on our hibiscus tree in the garden. The lighting came from our security light, and this shot was made in fully automatic macro mode. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=11602&1=1 Another nice scene from Stone Mountain Park in Georgia. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=46889&1=1 More photos from the Las Vegas Springs Preserve: http://www.springspreserve.org/ http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116401&1=1 Here I was snapping up lots of sunset shots (I took 138 tonight) and this bird wanders rightinto the frame. Such nerve! The brid sure did make the shot, though. :-) Unretouched. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=11546&1=1 A few weeks ago we were at the Las Vegas Springs Preseve and I took around 100 photos. These are some of the nicer ones. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116396&1=1 This was a really great macro shot, but it begged tohave some painterly techniques applied to it. So I did exactly that. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=12427&1=1 I caught the sun coming through at least three different layers of branches and leaves all at different focal lenghts. That gave it a very interesting, almost claustrophobic, feel. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=45410&1=1 Peppermint apparently doesn't appreciate the paparazzi. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=11849&1=1 Peppermint was falling asleep just sitting there. Must be a lazy Sunday. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=73119&1=1 This is a photo of my condo's electric meter, flipped on its side. It was taken at night with ambient light, lit from behind by our porch lights. I did very little post processing, basically balancing the exposure, sharpening a bit, an adding the sepia-tone with grain. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=12438&1=1 My wife pointed out this tiny little spider in our garden behind a hibiscus bud and I used it for an excuse to try out my macro features. The spider is so tiny I barely saw it. The bud the spider is behind is about 3/4" long. The red backgorund is our fence. This is an unretouched photo. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=11601&1=1 A few weeks ago we were at the Las Vegas Springs Preseve and I took around 100 photos.

It's not a technical masterpiece. Far from it , in fact. It's blown out, noisy, and the cat is dusty. But I like it just the same. Let me know what you think even if it's negative. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=129527&1=1 The decorative top at one of the Cable Car turn-arounds (near Ghiradelli Square) in San Francisco. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=129529&1=1 Self portrait in the snow http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=140437&1=1 A few shots from a trip to Denver's Botanical Gardens. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=170445&1=1
