My two hobbies are photography and bicycling... The two go together pretty well, and so I often take days off and go for long trips looking for good places to take pictures of landmarks and scenery. I took these pictures last Saturday during a 42 Mile run out of town. The big picture is viewing Mt. Raineer from a site near Orting, WA. The panoramic one was taken at about 9:00 AM just west of Puyallup. I used a photo editing program to create the special affect there. Enjoy!

Joshua,

The big picture is viewing Mt. Raineer from a site near Orting, WA.

Nice pic .. I like the way you caught the sun reflecting off the bladfes of grass, too.

I found this guy paddling about on a forest pond a mile from my house. I especially liked the colours and the reflections from the water.

Focal length 300mm; ISO 400; Shutter speed 1/500; aperture 7.1
No editing, other than resaving it as an 800KB file (from a 2,600KB file)

Wow, there is some great talent here!

I started getting into photography a little over the last year.

Here are the only two I have on my computer right now...and the butterfly picture's quality is bad, but my scanner is horrible so I can't really do anything about that.

Larry,

Cool pic with great colours and a nice rhythm, but the enormous out of focus blossom in the foreground is really distracting. Can you try to retake the picture with that either in focus, our not in the picture?

 

[Caoimhin]

Michabo,

What is your avatar from? That looks like a Kodoma from Princess Mononoke, but I'm not sure. Either way, I like it.

 

[michabo]

You know, I've completely forgotten where I found it! I was browsing around and stumbled onto this picture and thought "ah ha, I've found my avatar." I do remember that the painting was called "my soul" which I thought was a great ironic twist for an atheist

 

[Caoimhin]

heh, well it looks like one of those creatures. Either way I like your avatar.

[michabo]

Why?

Larry,

No need to take offense. I offered what I thought was constructive criticism, and only because I liked your photo. Obviously you chose to shoot it differently than I would. I'm not trying to get into a debate over what is right or wrong, only trying to learn why you shot it differently.

If you post your work in a public place, you needn't react so defensively when someone offers their opinion.

hey hey, constructive critisim can be a very helpfull think. i know i appreaciate it anyways.
