Photography Anyone?

^^ Thank you. It's good to see we're having a bit of fun around here. Personally, I've backed away from other photo groups on the web because of the competitiveness. I tire of the tech and techniques p*ssing contests. This place seems like a nice spot to try some things, and just throw it out there.

And I like it that we're all bringing some interesting perspectives to the table – a visual in itself! The pillows, the train window, the deer, the Disney reflections, Texas farm posts, burned out churches, colourful foreign scenes, SINC's slices of life, robo-shots at the bird feeder, the moody monochromatics...hey, it's been a while since we've had some macro M&Ms.

And yeah, The Doug, that last thing of yours is freaky cool.

View through one of my office windows (it's a glass wall actually) - not for much longer though, as we're moving to another building in a few weeks.

I hear 'ya. I'm starting to get tired of how many people *need* the next generation camera and that company X are giving up business to company Y because of a silly minor feature.

Last I checked, there were great photos being taken with equipment with a fraction of the features in the latest and greatest models.

I'm sure that the *real* photo taking ability is in the hands and eyes of the person, not the equipment. You could give someone's mom or gandmom a $5000 + camera and lens and a pro level photographer a kodak disposable digital cam and see who has the better pics at the end of the shoot

And I can't pass up the chance to once again refer people to this page!:

Nice pics - how did you get on top of the train?
