I was shooting the ducks and ducklings then this guy came out of no where. Wish I knew it was coming then I would have been able to focus more. It happened so quickly. Out of 9 shots this one came out the best. Cropped it.
Not bad I guess...
Just got the Nikon D60 last month, here are a few of my favorites from June.
How do I post thumbnails of my pics?
Use a [TIMG ] tag (no spaces). I did it to your pics so you can see.
Thanks, Doylem. Sadly, that photo captures the only bit of sun that filtered down into the gorge while I was there that day. It lasted only a few seconds, just long enough for me to get a shot off.

Damn! Those pics are amazing. Have you been doing photography for a long time? I just got my D60 too and my pics don't look quite that good. Ha. Stunning. Location?
:]
Stunning. Location?
Thanks. This was taken at the Grand Canyon near Grandview on a cross- country skiing trail along the rim last winter (you can see a little snow to the right). The title "Age" refers to the comparasion of the old trees against the timeless age of the Grand Canyon. I applied a B&W conversion and a little vignette to the image.

A few years of occasionally using my fathers Rebel XT, but the D60 is a whole new beast, I love it. It took a bit to get used to but once you figure it out you'll get great results. My suggestion is get a big memory card and just keep snapping away, I'd say I discard 80% or more of my photos

Haha same here. I picked up a 16GB SDHC card the other day for a great price.
Shot this pic today. These ducks come up to the backdoor and we feed them.
If you don't mind me asking, which road did you take this from? I've lived about a mile from jordan lake for practically my entire life. I drive home from work in Raleigh at around sunset everyday and always want to stop and snap some pictures but I'm afraid I might be hit on the side of the busier roads.
Just a "heads up" guys... this thread was last year's June thread--fooled me too when it got bumped to the top.
Woah... weird. I was wondering how I missed so many pages of photos since I checked last.
Epic fail on thread selection!
Yes, yes it is.
Someone needs to update the photo guide thread as that is how I got here. So my noob mistake can be easily explained.

Someone should really update/remove the sticky at the top of the forum that links to this thread which manages to get resurrected almost every year

I concur!
That's the problem with stickies. They sound like a good idea, but only the thread starter can update them. They get out of date but stay at the top of the page anyway.
