I wish I had a better camera. I'd love to learn more about, and get into photography.

Zach is a pro, his stuff is top notch.

I've taken a few shots with a little Nikon digital camera that have turned out pretty nice. I've saved them for web so they won't be so big. These are from Iron County and Jacks Fork River around Eminence, MO:

These are from my hometown Independence, MO. The mansion is the Bingham-Wagner Estate in Fall, flag is the morning the space shuttle broke up on re-entry over Texas; flag is at half mast for the astronauts.

A few personal ones:
Mama Cat in the Redbud tree. She's my sweetie. She's a poser!
Chiefs-Raiders game at kickoff from my seats.
The lake where my parents live, bass fishing at dawn from the dock.

Cool thread

Holy shit what kind of camera do you have???

Canon 5D.

heres one I shot during training camp a couple years back while Brodie was throwing and didn't even notice the guy in the backround till I reviewed the pics later on...weird. I cropped it.

Wow, really cool.

My best friend's kid was born this AM and he picked up my camera when I was holding him. This is Owen...he is born into being a Chiefs, Royals, and Mizzou fan. Best of luck little buddy!

New one from my brother that's a little different:

Caption: "When it gets this hot we head down to the creek."

That's his 8 year old son leaping from the rock.

Not really sticking to the thread premise, but this seems like a thread where people will appreciate it. It's from a site called http://www.theunderwaterproject.com/ that is collecting shots of people underwater with pretty stunning results. Cool stuff.

http://www.theunderwaterproject.com/...55b730bfa7.jpg

Wow.

Some pics from this year's vacation in Utah (Zion NP, Bryce Canyon, and Arches)...

Nice. That looks like you hiked out to Angel's Landing? We spent like 4 days in the backcountry up there one time. Did the Kolob Arch area a different time. I love Zion.

Yep, that was angel's landing... and I'm not the biggest fan of heights, but I made it! :)

Me and a friend took a week and hit up those three in Utah, the Glenn Canyon Dam in AZ, and Rocky Mtn NP in Colorado... we spent 70 hours in the car, 4000 miles on the road, and hit the 4 NP's w/ over 26 miles of hiking in a 32 hr span. It was great! :) (and we did it all for under $400 a piece, though some of the hotels were...uh...interesting...)

Here's a few of my favorites from last week in Colorado, around Salida and Colorado Springs.

Do we have any places around town that rent lenses? I bought a Canon and glass is very expensive so I would like the chance to shoot with a few before dropping 500-1000 bucks.

Absolutely. Digital Labrodor. You can rent them over the weekend for a single day's prices...pretty cool.

Impressive stuff. Especially the first one.

Thanks. And I almost missed that completely.

I was taking shots of the sunset off the balcony (none of which turned out with a shit) and the wife of one of the couples we were with said I should take a picture of the building to the east side of us. "Look at all the pretty colors", she said.

No kidding. :shake:

Wow I like this one a lot man.

That is a really cool photo. Is it enhanced with Photoshop or something to bring out the colors and contrast so vividly?

Thanks, yea...I took a lot like it trying to get what I wanted...focusing on different lights within the string. I had to step up on this thing and like...almost fell into a trash dumpster. lol.

Nothing crazy. I bumped up the colors just a bit. I try not to go wild with post stuff.

Thank you

Here's one I took in Ft Lauderdale that I'm quite fond of

I used this one as the background on my desktop at work. Love it.

I didn't take this one, but I like it.

I did take this one:

Nice shots, man! I can't claim responsibility for these, but a friend of a friend got some killer shots from the shooters' perspective at Lake Shawnee this past year. I have no idea if you guys will be able to see this since it's a protected Facebook page, but just in case...

What a douche! :eek:

I just purchased a D5000 (My point and shoot has just about died.) now all I have to do is figure out how to work the darn thing in 30 days!
(and yes I rationalized the purchase with “I just have to take photos at St. Joes!!”))

What is that all about?

She doesn't like me, and has me on fake ignore.

She has sort of gone batshit crazy over there in DC. The post this rep was left on is below...

:D

I am busy right now but I will post some tips that helped me learn the more advanced cameras...maybe a few thins will resonate with you as well. I will try and post this evening.

But don't make it harder than it has to be! It will click one day and you will be good to go.
