Hi, I'm very new here and I'm curious if anyone likes taking pictures since I saw the art that everyone has done in the other topic. Post them if you do! I'll start out (and I apologize if there was already a topic like this, let me know!)

I resized them so they would be slow computer friendly Smile

1. pink flowers at my friend's house
2. bar stools in an old fashioned ice cream shop
3. fireplace at my aunt's house
4. the back of the castle at disneyland
5. the alien from toy story on a wall and my reflection/shoe/hand
6. huge dinosaur at disney's california adventure
7. friends playing with checkers
8. the drummer from a band called mae

Those were done with a cheap digital camera that I am so ready to get rid of haha. someday I'd like to get an expensive real camera *dreams* so then I could take much better pictures.

Hi neverendingstory,
Wow for a cheap digital camera, those sure are good pictures. I have a digital camera too, that I take pictures with. I also have an old Cannon AE-1 regular camera that I've had since I was in highschool. I've taken lots of pictures on that one. It's not digital, but I have lost of slides, and prints that I've taken in the past. Digital cameras are pretty good, but in my opinion, I really like my old Cannon the best. Seems like I could get more detail with my old camera than my digital camera, as far as lighting, angles, etc. I've taken several pictures with my digital camera, and they turned out ok. But I guess I'm used to my old camera, and I like it that best.

Anyway, you have some great pictures here, and you did a good job taking them. Thanks for posting those. Smile

I took some pictures when we went to this Shaker Village in Kentucky with my digital camera. There was one I took of this spiral staircase that was neat. I'll try to find that one and post it. Good idea starting a picture thread. Smile

Maybe if we post some pictures here, maybe others will too.

Take Care,
Nancy

Hi neverendingstory,

Nice pics you got there. I liked the fireplace, and the bar stools.

Gerda is gonna love this thread. I'm sure she'll have lots of pics to share when she comes back from her trip to the UK.

OK, here's one from me. Fresh out of the oven (litereraly)

My son Federico baked this amazing Key Lime Pie today.
Which not only tasted delicious but looked good too.
So here's the pic:

mmm...

Hey Maria,
Nice picture of your son's pie. That really looks good enough to eat! My mom has made that kind of pie before too. Those are really good! Smile

Tell your son he did a good job making that. Hope it tasted as good as it looks. Wink

Btw here's a couple of pictures of this spiral staircase I promised to post. this was taken at this restaurant and Inn we went to when we visited this Shaker Village in Kentucky. That was really neat. Hope these aren't too big. I resized them on my photoshop before I posted them, so I hope they aren't huge.

Great pictures girls! Very Happy

Take Care,
Nancy

I've seen pictures he's taken in the past and the quality is beautiful.
those staircase pictures are wonderful!! I've never been in a building with a spiral staircase like that but when I do I am SO taking pictures Smile

Maria- thank you!! that pie looks tasty. Never had that kind of pie before but it still looks mighty tasty Wink

I, too, enjoy taking photos. I don't do it very often but I think that I sometimes get very artsy photos. I'm lucky if I get one in a roll of film. Smile

Here are a few I took recently:

This is Whangarei Falls in Whangarei, New Zealand.

This is a park in Whangarei, New Zealand.

This is taken at that same park, from the top of a stairway.

Now these two were taken in Venice, CA. Sanja, I hope you don't mind. I think these are beautiful photos of both you and Bosko!

Can't wait to catch some time to post mine "artsy" photos.
I really LOVE taking photos and I have a few pretty good ones (I think Rolling Eyes

)!

And Jenni, of course I don't mind, lol! Very Happy

Hi. girls! Very Happy

WOW! So many incredible photos!
Neverendingstory, I love you photos especially this one with pink flower, my mom likes flowers like your friend I guess!
Yep, Maria the pie looks really so good! Very Happy

Nancy, the stairs look great! I would try to go on it! Wink

Thanks for these beautiful New Zealand photos, lilferret! I just can't stop thinking how incredibly beautiful is Whangarei Falls in Whangarei photo!

Hey, Sanja you and Bosko look so sweet!

I love taking photos too, but they not look very great sometime...

Ok, this is just an apple.... juicy green apple: LOL!

(when my mom asked why I took photo of apple I really didn't know what to say)...

And this is a flower at my friend's aunt's house:

Wow! What great photos, all of you! Very Happy

Keep them coming!

Here's some of my own. I don't take pictures often, but do enjoy it. I couldn't decide which to post, and photobucket didn't make them smaller, so for space's sake I'll just post URLs. These were all taken with the same digital camera.

One day at my house, the sky was really cool--it looked like ocean waves. I hurried out to the front yard with my camera. I'm not sure that the pics do justice to the sight though.

And here are some photos from my school field trip to the beautiful Dow Gardens in Midland, Michigan, a couple years back:

What do you think? I will post more after I upload them to photobucket--that takes Forever. Rolling Eyes

All these photos are so beautiful!

I love that picture of the stools. That's the perfect photo to post over a bar. Smile

That apple made me hungry, the clouds made me want to eat whipped cream, and that spiral staircase made me dizzy!

LOL!

I loved the mini waterfall too! It's like a baby version of the one I saw in NZ!

Alright, here's more photos. This makes me feel like going out and taking more pics! Very Happy

Again, I'll use URLs.

This is one of the lilac bushes in my front yard:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Lilacs.jpg

And here's a lupine in the front garden, with mostly iris plants in the rest of it:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures019.jpg

The next four were taken in the woods around my house:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures021.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures022.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures025.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures026.jpg

Here's a rainbow that was in my front yard (Sorry it's sideways--my photo programs kept reducing the quality when I rotated it):
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Rainbow.jpg

And the next two I took on a trip to Mackinac Island:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures027.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/Ditto503/Pictures029.jpg

I have more, but I don't want to overwhelm you. Shocked

It's not like they're professional quality, but I picked out the best ones.

Kim, those forest pictures are amazing. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

lilferret, the waterfall is breathtaking.

Tanya, did you eat that apple right after you took that pic?, LOL
I can imagine your mother's face Shocked

Sanja, you and Bosko look adorable. Thanks lilferret for posting those pics.

Gerda is back from her trip to the UK, and she sent some beautiful pictures. She sounded very happy with her trip.

I'll post just a few because I don't want the page to get to heavy for those on dial up:
