Now that is a great pic.

 

Having been there, I can only imagine what went on there, as well as at sea over the centuries. Makes you think.

I don't think I'm in Georgia anymore...

 

 

Cropping reveals more detail...

 

Ignore the man behind the camera...;)

Dileep, love the photo of Seattle through the circular cutouts. Especially nice.

Ravi, that sunset photo is beautiful. It makes me feel so serene.

 

All these pics are great!

(yours too Wayne, but I have already commented on that one.)

 

We have been experiencing above seasonal temps and very mild winter her in the city. I did catch one morning of frost on the pane of an old barn one day though.

Thanks. We had one of those unusual sunny weekends!

 

I love old windows and doors!

Whoo, my first contribution! I went out and gave my brand new Canon t2i a test drive. What did I learn? That I have a LOT to learn! But these are three of my best. They aren't much - I envy the amazing bird photos some of you have posted - but they're a start!

Took my husband down to Inner Harbor in Baltimore yesterday for his birthday lunch.

 

Lots of seagulls around so I pulled my camera out of the bag and started snapping away.

Wow, that's a tough one, they're all great. I think I might submit Mt. Rainier

because it is more unique to Alaska than the others, but they are all good!

Yea, that's not in Alaska is it? Ooops!

#2,4, and 5.

All photos must be taken near cities that Alaska Airlines serves!

Cool Sydney shots. We'll be there in a couple of days. Yaaay. We leave tomorrow morning - and get there on Friday. :eek: So I can get my own Aussie bird pics. :D:D:D

I really think you should change your day-job, Dave - great stuff!

When I went to Albany today, I was surprised to see Celebrity Century in port, which we encountered in Sydney last week (look out for more photos from both locations in the ships in port thread tomorrow).

 

[Prairie_Gal]

Dave, beautiful craftsmanship!

 

Here is a photo I took yesterday with my new Tamron 18-270 lens. I love the range of this lens. Thanks for the recommendations on my other thread for what to get. It sure is a lot heavier than the 50 mm I have been using!

 

I will sure be glad when we get Spring around here! I will go back when it greens up and re-take this photo.

It's nice to have a photogenic pet...helps when you don't have an opportunity to go anywhere exploring with your new camera!

 

That said, I'm slightly discouraged and intimidated by my new Canon t2i. I've worked with a DSLR before, took a class in college where everything we did was 100% manual...but I'm having trouble getting all the different settings to work with each other on this camera. I know that will come with practice and experience...but even using auto focus and the program mode, I'm hardly getting any decent photos, and even the decent ones aren't really sharp... The below picture is about the best I've gotten, taken using the program mode and my 50mm f/1.8 lens, which is supposed to be really sharp, is it not?
