I see a marked improvement in your photos. Those last 2 especially. You go.

Thanks! That was unintentional...the laughing part.....food, I mean....yea. *sigh*


Thanks :) I lucked out with both of those. The gull was flying constantly. I just kept snapping photos. I think I tried auto focus, but it wasn't working, so I was continually adjusting it with manual. I got another one of him looking down at me. I'll have to post that when I get home.

The sun and boat was early morning. I was playing with Manual settings, so I don't know if that was how it actually looked, but I think it came out badass. It didn't look that good on the camera itself which is weird. I don't know if I could do it again if I tried - lol.

I think it's partially becoming more confident in using Manual settings or auto with no flash. Being more aware of the light around you. The aquarium ones are a little foggy because the water was foggy - lol. There's one of a large orange fish that looked cool, too. It was hard picking the favorites!

Honestly, if anyone is really interested, I can share the link over PM

This is the key.

Snap away! Electrons are free. Pretty much...:)

I FINALLY got back out there this past weekend. I went on a short 2 mile hike with a friend. Then, a 5.6 mile hike on my own. I am still going through pics from the second hike, but here's some from the first.

Took a great deal of luck for the butterflies here and the bird. The beetle was easy :cool:

I was trying to get the gradation of green to purple. Not sure if it worked, but I liked it.

I just like these guys

I was focused on the healthy bloom at first, but I like it this way instead. The dried flower in focus with the green bloom still maturing and the full white bloom in the background

I had wanted a different picture, but my battery was low and my camera wouldn't work anymore. By the time I changed, it was gone. I got this one instead, though.

That's all for now. When I get through the others, I will post those too!

These are great!

Thanks!

Nice!

Thanks!

The good news is that I narrowed the pics down from the second hike. The bad news is that there's 27 :o Gotta make another cut....
