Intriguing, with a real emotional impact... I love the way the orange sky is picked up in the waves. Nothing in focus: was this deliberate... or a happy accident?
Thank you. Not wanting to participate in the New Year's drink-athon, I drove up to Wast Water (one of the most beautiful and remote lakes in the Lake District), so I could greet the new year with a clear head and a panoramic view. I have an estate car fitted out with a mattress in the back, and plenty of bedding, so I'm 'at home' wherever I go.
The morning was very cold, with frost on the trees, so I just wandered round the lake. This shot 'happened' when the first rays of sunlight appeared, so I didn't really have to wait. I took a few shot, with a tripod...
A bit hazy, but I like the red hat...
This is a picture of the sewage pond about a city block from my room in Afghanistan. It was taken with a el-cheapo P&S fuji
I used iphoto to mess with it. I am forcing my self to try to take more pictures with my cheap camera before I take the leap into DLSR

Another photo from yesterday's trip.
I ran across a very cool LR2 plug-in last night for adding borders, watermarks, and additional information to LR exports. I don't know if others have shared this plug-in before, but it's perfect for what I need. A slightly limited function (10 exports at a time) free version is here: http://timothyarmes.com/lr2mogrify.php

The new addition to the family, a tiny pup Shichon. He doesn't care much for the camera, tends to stand under my feet.
I'll get better in time
I almost don't want to post pictures after looking at a lot on here, but I feel a little left out![:eek:]( "Eek! :eek:")
. Once I sell a few more toys of mine, I'll get a better camera than my P&S. So in the meantime, please bear with me. Feel free to give me tips, and don't worry, I'm not quitting my day job anytime soon.

The weather up here has been dreadful the last few day's and I hadn't got any shot's, that was until I drove by a depot in Glasgow for the whisky maker Johnnie Walker today. A great example of being in the right place at the right time, as Lewis Hamilton (F1 World champion) was doing a car demonstration in their car park as a thank you for being one of his sponsers. Not the sharpest shot in the world as it was taken from an adjoining carpark and was shot through a mucky bus shelter

I like the limited colour palette you've used here.
Thanks, it was a bright day but i felt desaturating and sharpening it made it feel closer to how the place felt. Almost like a villans lair!
Lions Gate by Night

Taken from North Vancouver over to Lions Gate bridge. The fog was finally lifting so it created a neat effect.

Taken early this morning, probably would have liked some more light but the sun soon hid behind the clouds for the day:
18mm - f/22 - 1/2s - ISO 100
I was only shooting a single stationery rock being almost covered by water (or so I thought), focus wasn't entirely crucial, just wanted the movement in water (and waited for a big tube in the background). The above could have been more in focus though, hard to keep a tripod still when water is rushing past the legs.
I've noticed that, you sure like the red touch don't you! be it car, boat, hat, sheep I think it's great, adding interest, almost like Wheres Wally in the Doylem world

More point 'n shoot...
Most shots from 2 budget cams (Sony DSC-W120 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8.) I bought them just before Christmas, and the Sony was given to my friend, Trisha - so I don't have it anymore... I wanted one for each of us, and couldn't decide which one I preferred, so got both models, and ended up giving her the Sony and keeping the Lumix. Both have their advantages... and disadvantages. I figured if I posted some of the shots I've taken with them it might be helpful for someone considering getting one of them for under $130 for a pocket pns.
Anyway, here's another - this time from the Sony. Suppressed flash mode, extreme backlighting from window and glass door due to snowy outdoors... see Exif for exposure info.
My buddy, Ian and his dog, Joe.

Bald Eagle
Took some pictures of a nesting pair of bald eagles this morning with my new Canon 300 f/4L IS + 1.4x lens combo. This is the male posing just outside the nest.
C&C always welcome.
