I know there are probably several threads devoted to this, but I thought I would start a new one anyways.

Post your photos!

Thanks!

So what sort of equipment do you use on yours?

My primary camera body is a Canon 60D with the cheap kit lens but my main work horse is the 50mm 1.4F

.....of yes, and Photoshop CS5. :)

My camera is an Olympus E 620.
Several lenses, 600mm, 22mm wide angle, a 42mm and 300mm, the last two came with the camera when I bought it.

I am not using photoshop, I use Iphoto, but not very much.
I usually only crop my photos and that's it.
Sometimes I use some special effects done through Flickr.

Made this shot yesterday.

A couple of weeks ago I made this one near Kamloops, BC:

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6181/6161028320_5fe0cc9b11.jpg

I put borders on in Picnik.

[RandyWayne]

Those look really nice! Are you using any filters on your lenses? It looks like there is something at work.

This is one that I took with an old Pentax point and shoot (that I paid a fortune for at the time!). Did a little creative processing with photoshop and a plug in called Phototools from onOne.

Late evening shot downtown Boston

I really like Boston, but the traffic there is even worse the New York, something I had a tough time believing possible.

The camera is, of all things, my simple cell phone cam. Samsung infuse 8mp.

I took this the AM after getting this phone to try out the camera. I was thinking about getting another camera, but now I am thinking ... Why?

They are excellent for a phone and can compete with some of the cheaper point-and-shoots, but nothing can beat a good D-SLR. :)

I know, but for the photography I do now, it will do ok. At some point I will get a D-SLR. The day I have an extra couple of grand to toss around. Unfortunately... that isn't today.

I did buy my daughter a higher end p&s for xmas last... Nikon Coolpix P100 If I get a photo bug I'll borrow that.

I made this shot through an open window in our truck.

Yes, it was a long haul.
Over 16.000 km total distance travelled.
We also drove to Cape Breton Island.
Through Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
......and back to British Columbia. Total 56 days.

Love the moon shot! (Referring to the 'moon' that orbits our planet.)

I have yet to take a picture of it that I'm happy with. I've tried every combination of aperture, ISO, and shutter speed and it always comes out overexposed.

I have a telescope that has an adaptor that allows for a camera to be attached to it. Im not a camera buff so I dont really know how that works. From the directions it looks like it snaps on where you would normally put different lenses ? Always wanted to try it , but like I said, its not enough of an interest for me to fork over the funds.

Loving the pictures on the thread though. Keepem comin.

Me and My Family yesterday at Chaney's Dairy Barn in Franklin KY. We visited the corn maze and had their famous ice cream and played on the huge monster slide made out of culvert pipe. The older ones enjoyed rolling each other around the farm inside the big road tiles they had and the little ones liked the sandbox they had too. It was a great field trip! BTW, the pic was taken with my iPhone 3G :clown2:

Wow, please tell me that some of those kids are nieces, nephews, friend's kids....etc.

Looks like an awesome group of people!

***Addendum***
L'n'J you have mentioned in the past you have ten children, until this pic it didn't sink in. I have one daughter of whom I occasionally refer to as being fortunate to have survived to maturity. I cant figure out how you remember their names. We sit down to dinner I'd need an app...hey um.. David.. hows ur day? Jennifer, oh i'm sorry Judith, how was your day?

Seriously, You and your husband have all the respect and honor I can give. I couldn't do that, I barely did a tenth that.

I award most awesome landscapes to RW. Way Wild wildlife photos to Dordt, Flower photography to meee. Most beautiful overall... goes to you.


But keep posting pictures, this was just interim.

We had the babies with us in strollers and didn't want to keep wandering around looking for the exit so we heard the highway and cut through to it and walked up the edge to the finish surprising all out older ones who wondered how in the world we made it to the end so fast lol!!! We are so bad! Lol!

This picture is a powerful moment with me and the girls while my wife was getting dressed to be baptized. We realized that years of prayers were about to be answered.

Yup! It was actually on sale for about 50% during this past weekend on Amazon. There is no way, short of making a profit on my photos that I can pay $1200+ for a lens.

That is the exact camera my wife uses. She loves it and the zoom is really impressive (35x). The lens I mostly use is a 17-40mm which is very wide angle all the way to only slightly more telephoto than what the eye sees naturally. So basically next to no zoom. But it takes GREAT pics!
