Here's one of our feathered friends I found playing in our backyard pool today.
In the second pic, Steve, would that be the backstroke or the breaststroke? :)
I think it's a tailstroke. ;)
Finally got out to play with my new 35mm camera (JRS are you proud of me). I now know what the filters are that you talked about. He sold me one to keep my lens from being scratched.
This is the bluff at the Citie of Henricus overlooking the convergence of the Chickahominy and James Rivers. http://www.henricus.org/frame.html
I also included a shot of the path that leads down the bluff and along the river. It was a great walk.
Here are some pics I took yesterday in Williamsburg.
what size thumbnails will the system allow?

Taken a few months ago with Olympus C-8080 that Santa put under the tree.
I put this on the wrong thread originally...oppps...
Taken with my ultra compact Sony DSC-W1
P.S. That is Grappa in the glass :D
Nice job Cindy. You having fun with the 35mm? Pretty soon you'll have about 10 grand tied up in camera gear. When I used to go out on long shoots, I looked like a walking camera store.
Thanks, JRS! I am still learning the buttons, lenses and whistles. I took some pics at my friend's wedding that came out a bit blurry. I didn't think they were fast enough for the fast setting. Hey, you live and learn. Thank God she had a profesisonal and didn't count on only me! :)Quote:

And, Snitgirl, way cool pics. I especially love the building through the glass. Cool! :cheers:
Some more pics from my trip to Williamsburg and one of my friend's son, Trevor, on his 3rd birthday. I cannot ever recall being this surprised at a gift, can you?
Just got back from Vancouver, had a great time as always!!
Camping on the Susquehana RIver, in Northumberland, PA

Here are some recent pics taken on my trip to the Outer Banks of NC. These were all taken in Manteo on Roanoke Island. It is a neat little area and I encourage you to check it out when you are in the Outer Banks.

Just got back from the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont. Mikey and I may be the only 2 optiboarders able to name the gap in two of the photos. Picture of Mrs Harry in front of our B&B in Danville and me atop Burke Mtn, in a cloud as usual.
Harry,
I won't give it away but it starts with W.
I grew up on Burke! Live in ST. Jay
Ever with bad weather you can beat the Norhteast Kingdom in the Fall
Mikey
PS
Is the first picture from the parking lot at the upper lodge?
If so the field once had a t-bar. I started at age five right there!!!!
Last Monday, October 3rd. I cycled up to Mt. Ashland and took these pictures. There was the first of the seasons snow above 6500 feet. when I got home I started overhauling the old X-country ski's. Won't be long now. The far mountain in the first photo is Mt. Shasta.
Taken 10/22/05
Since the Lions Gate Bridge was backed up with major traffic, I decided to take a detour through Stanley Park. WOW!!!! It was quite amazing to see all the beautiful colours on the trees. <--nothing like that here in San Diego!! Pulling over, parking the car and getting in tourist mode was a must!!
What a great time of year for Vancouver!
Sue and I spent an afternoon in Stanley Park. What a great asset for Vancouver. Other than the cruise up and down the inland passage to Alaska, that afternoon was the highlight of the trip. I'm envious!
Fall in Vermont

Nice Cindy!!! Looks like you are playing with your manual settings a bit more?
There is a picture that you took in Williamsburg that I absolutely love and I am using it as my sample photo to help me understand the photoshop program that I have. I hope you do not mind me modifying it, again, it is just because I am learning how to use the program and I will not sell it!! Can you e mail me the full quality photo so I can fiddle with the full size? <--I am learning Sepia stuff right now as you can see. If you do not mind, please PM me so I can give you my e mail addy that excepts 10MB files, thanks. If not, I understand and no biggie..
Just got back from a 2 week eyecare mission in the Philippines with Third World Eyecare Society. It was an amazing experience. I highly suggest that if any of you get the chance, take the time to volunteer your skills. It reminded me why I love working in this field.
The mountain is the Mayon Volcano, considered by some to be the most perfect cone in the world. Our group photo is with the mayor of Tacloban, the city where we were working. And we blew out our frame warmers (forgot about the electrical adaptors), so we bought hair dryers... Works just as well.
I meant to post these for Snitgirl, months ago. Now that I have snow in my background it feels good to travel back to PEI. These are from this summer.
I love the palm tree photo you took!! perfecto...
P.S. I want to tell you that you are amazing for all your volunteer work that you do!!:cheers:

Also I like the first photo and how the colour (colour -practicing my canadian ways) has green at the top, then the different colours of brown and then green again on the ground, then brown again then water... I really like the colours in this shot.
thanks for sharing, post more please!!!

what dimensions/DPI do I post at?
The photos have to be under 800x600, there is a file limit too I believe it's under 125Kb.Quote:

Thanks Snitgirl! I'm a very amateur photographer, so I'm always a little surprised when I manage to take a shot like the palm tree one. I just wish I took the time out to take more clinic photos.Quote:

I wondered what gear you are all using? - the photos here are very good
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I'm using a simple point & shoot camera: Fuji Finepix A200. Doesn't even have an optical zoom... :oQuote:

You got a Nikon D70 for $300? I'm impressed.
Thats the one Im talking about, and it is a awsome bit of kit. I have done weddings with it, and it is pretty faultless - once you get to grips with all of the settings on it. Definatally worth ignoring the on-board flash and getting a SB800 though. I use a F70 35mm, and i love the way the lenses interchange between the 2 backsQuote:
