I took up photography as a hobby a few years ago when I got a digital camera for Xmas present. It's a little Canon IXUSi5.

I like to take macro shots of plants/flowers and nice sceneries.

Here are two photos I took...

Nice shots Autumn! I've got a Canon PowerShot S500 ELPH. I like it because it has a separate viewfinder - not just the display. I can frame pictures better with the viewfinder.


Twilight over Atlantic Highlands, NJ.
I entered this in a worth1000 contest.

I took these last week.





This is my current favorite self-portrait

Thanks, suebe! Your picture is not showing though.

Nice pictures, yoornotme. Is it glass with coloured lights shining on them? I like your self portrait and your kitty :D

I took this one in the backyard this afternoon. Mama and papa bird were not very happy.

That's a great photo. What camera are you using, unzercharlie?

Thanks!

This is my camera.

Ahh...that's why the quality of your photo is so nice. I want a digital SLR camera too but I have to save up for a house.

Thanks =)

You know those things that you put in water and they get big? I put some of those in some glasses and then I held a flashlight above them. You can see how spotty our glasses are. I hate it. luckily there's two sets of new ones hiding in the closet for Mother's Day =D

The kitty one was also with a flashlight. I was running around my house with a flashlight XD

Here's one I took some time ago: A nice view of a rehabilitated open pit mine site in Ghana. They used to mine gold ore from this pit, now you can see that the slopes have been planted, and what you cannot see is that the water in this pit is a fish farm for the local community. (Fed by, among other things, chicken droppings from a nearby little chicken farm.)

Camera: Canon Digital Ixus 430

I love taking pictures, but I don't focus on it enough to get better at it...here are some of my photos...

Neeeto!

who is that cute kid?

that is my son. the lesser known and smaller ruler of the free world.

Here's my gallery...

Awesome shots, I like your waterfall series. If you haven't found/bought this yet, I would like to recommend the gorillapod I've not gotten out into the wilderness with mine yet, but I'm looking forward to it. It's so much more handy than a giant tripod, great for those impromptu long exposures.

Wow, beautiful work John.

Wow, great stuff. You are a titan.

Nice shots! I especially like the first one. Sometimes the simplest scens are the most beautiful.

yoornotme- Very nice work with the lighting and contrast in those. Great pics.

cheeselog123- All three pics are nice. Where is that second one taken?

Anyway, here's a few of mine. My camera's not the best, but I liked how these two turned out.
