Well I luuuuurve photography, and am thinking about getting a Canon Digital Rebel just because of this. And I like how a lot of my photos turn out, although I can't tell you what looks "pro" and what doesn't. I don't even know what to look for, and what to avoid when taking a photo.
Its really hard to say, isn't it? (Canon A60..... 2 MP)

Well I took it in the forest, it's an extreme close up of some moss or something growing on a rock. The yellow thing is a dried up tree needle of some kind (pine or douglas fur maybe?)
I'm currently living in Banff so when I go out taking photos I tried my damndest not to take tourist type pics of the mountains.

It's moss on a rock! Here's some more!
I had a really good day in the forest a week or 2 back.
w_parietti22 said:omg. lol, its so obvious now.
haha yup, but then again how often do you go up and examine moss from 2" away? And yes, the other hikers did give me wierd looks.

Pretty neat tho, even if I do say so myself!
Nice! Good job with the seams as well!

Not to derail the thread or anything, but I have to plug the software I used, as it's truely fantastic!
It's called HuginOSX. A port of an open source windows & linux photo stitcher.

Takes 5 minutes to get your head around, but I've done about 5 panorama shots now and they've all been stunning!
Anyway, not to de-rail, here's some more pics from my cheap camera!

photoshop, hella-wide lens, or crop? just curiousSca1pel said:
im part of the $200 camera club until i can upgrade...ive discovered how useful photoshop can be for crappy shots. example: my camera (hp ps735) has ****** white balance and contrast, but i just blow it out in photoshop and it looks really cool.
here's another of my favorites (also photoshopped a lot)
I took this a few years ago. I don't doubt that the camera was probably around $200 back then.

Great pics, guys. Unfortunately, I could've taken better pics with my pinhole camera that cost me 2 dollars!
