Cool photos

I took this picture a couple of years ago. I was driving home, and just had to stop, and take a picture.

Yes but you should have cropped the road and building out

Sorry for that.

But I was still sitting in my car, and just pulled sideways across the road and took the picture hanging out the window. Next time I'll remember to get out and set up the tri-pod and stuff. Maybe some filtering, time lapse shots?

Is This Better?

Don't mind them Steve. He's just jealous of a Florida sunset.

Ahh, no sign of humanity. Much better.

I'm actually not being sarcastic. It's sometimes strange to me that pictures of nature (of which we are a part) are much more enjoyable to me if there isn't any sign of humans or are constructions.

Lucky I didn't take the picture a few hundred feet down the road. They are building a new overpass over I-95.

I just received a Camera for my Birthday (still a couple weeks away) so expect this thread to get some pictures from me.

By the way, its a Sony DSC-700 (7.2mp, 2.4" LCD yadda).

Would a photoshop work to crop afterwards?

Hey, that's what it is

How about a trick photo for a binary star

OK Since the Florida sunset didn't work out for mtrycrafts. Here is a Cancun sunset take a couple of years ago. No streets, no buildings.

I just came back from Cancun last week. While I took that photo a couple of years ago, I can say that boat dock isn't there anymore. Hurricane, Hurricane.

Big as a frisbee or not, six inches is one big spider! They might not jump three feet, but I guarantee you that I would (at least) if I saw one of those...and I'd probably be running at 30 mph screaming, too.
