Recently Photographed

some pics i took yesterday. the blue bird is a heron, which are pretty uncommon in the middle of cities, as are the cormorants.





it's rare enough to see any of these birds, nevermind finding them all perched together on the same wall. well, not wall exactly. it's an old bridge support that's had the arches/span demolished, and sits alone in the middle of the river.

then this morning, i found the view from my bedroom window had changed slightly. it made me wonder if the birds had sensed it coming, and decided the city offered them some sort of protection.

Very prophetic Fisheye. We have a similar bird scattered throughout the States. White and Brown if I recall. The Snow is definitely surprising.

Now my turn. I took these pictures on my last run. If they are blurry to much I can upload the full versions which are 3.2 MP in scope.

The deer are from a town called: Hondo, New Mexico

The cave house is also from Hondo.

The missle is of course from: White Sands, New Mexico

Hope these images fit, I shrunk them as small as I dare.

The only temperate rainforest in the world... Hoh River Trail, WA, USA

I know its not but, that last picture really is amazing. It looks like its under water. The angle and tint of the light makes one think you are looking in a clear aquarium.

Nice pics Obie.

Tracer, that looks like a very beautiful place. I'll have to visit that forrest sometime.

s**t, I wish I had time to do that now. Just take a drive 40 minutes in a single direction, get out and check stuff out. I really wish I had time to do stuff like that. :sad:

Unfortunatly it's more like 3 hours from portland I think, but yes, it's really cool. It's too cold and snowbound at the moment, but if you get in far enough the Olympic mountains are really cool as well.

While I'm at it... Here's a recent shot from Paradise on Mt. Rainer:

I didn't mean I'd go [i]there[/]i in a 40 minute drive, that was a completley different comment.

It's not too far though.

In times of old... Last year. I was in a quandary about how to capture screens from a movie. Well PowerDVD seems to have heard and rendered an acceptable method. Their screen captures are easy. All I need do is apply a bit of XAT to them and they are good to go for Snarkpit posting.

Just in case some of you may want to build a bit of Hogwarts from the newest movie here are 6 for you. I have noticed that Hogwarts has grown with the children over the past 4 years. The shots are noticeably different.

Anyway, enjoy these shots.

Yay! More fun on Ranier. There was a really brief sun break, and I got some nice shots.

Some people are like slinkys...

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

Those are breathtaking Tracer. Made me want to share a similar (although not as grand in scope) photo of mine.

Here's a shot from the summit of Camel's Hump in Vermont, this winter.

Vermont May not be as rugged as the northwest, but the lighting in that picture is particularly cool! I grew up in New England, so It's kind of nice to see a view form back there.

This thread loads ungodly slow, from the top of a screen downward.

I was watching your pic arrive thinking "That looks like the Heron we used to see in Florida"

Then after the pic loads I notice your postscript. :smile:

Nice pic BTW.

For those in the States who've seen our newest quarter, here are a couple shots from the back side in reality. Master KungFuSquirrel should be quite familiar with this place. Its not to far from his home town.

You should see the ones I don't post. I am a horrible photographer. I took a half dozen pics to get those two good ones.

Thanx bud.

anyone know much about google picasa, I've got over 10,000 pictures ripe for sharing.

What, "not too far?" I'm almost that "close" to home in Wisconsin! :razz: That's at least a 7 hour drive from where I grew up... about an hour, maybe 2 from where my wife grew up. :smile:

Still, neat formation. Won't be around all that much longer - it's already a pale shadow of what it was and it'll just keep eroding... Lots of cool terrain out there; the roads overlooking Lake McCaughoweveryouspellit would really be something if said lake even existed anymore... you can see the town underneath it poking up from the surface now :X

I took some pictures of my trip to Islands of Adventure on Saturday. It's an amusement park in Orlando, Florida that's owned and run by Universal Studios.

Here's pics of the medieval section.

Where is that?

Some of that stuff is really cool.

I wish I had taken this picture my self, but it was my friend Klara who snapped this photo. She was camping out on the Great Wall and took the photo at 4:30 AM before setting out to hike the rest of the section she was on.

I think this is the greatest image that's been taken on this trip so far.

Do you like it as well?

yup, nice pic.

Just came back from Corsica in the Mediterranean sea, and thought i'd share a few pics.

It's a nice island if you like beatiful nature, diving, canyoning etc, but don't go there if you want to party.

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

BlisTer, really nice locations, and nice days for pictures too. This may be the nerd in me, but when I saw the picture of Calvi, I thought of T's spawning halfway up the ramp, so they can choose to go left on the aboveground route, or right into the tunnel system :razz:

Also, you know how to travel. Ie. you bring lots of girls with you. :smile:

Photography is a hobby of mine, so here are a few pictures I have taken.



<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/standard.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

I like the first one, but the way the guy is sitting in the second one strikes me as strange. It could be that I just don't feel it "fits" with the rest of the image.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the first image looks natural while the second looks contrived.

That is because you are right. The first one he was stretching and i shifted my compoisition and took a picture. The second one wasplaced by me, which as you can see I am not too good at posing people.2>

The last one is cool - the transition between desert, plains and then mountains works really well.

The picture of the river is my favorite of this batch of pics.

I have two really great pics of a Bald Eagles nest. Sadly, the eagle that I saw land in it, is barely discernible, so I opted to not post it.

I also took some good shots in the Rockies. They are from above an old choo-choo train track... Yes its a choo-choo... Its used for tours in the gold mining region of I-70

---

This last batch is particularly nice. I like how I can get a feel for the vastness and beauty of both states.

Heres some from my holiday in Florida I only have some from the first week cos I have yet to finish the second week.

They are mostly for college so not much in the way of scenery.

Anyway here's the link but be warned they are not 56k frendly cos I dont have any image editing software here.

Human knowledge belongs to the world

I took these pictures on my last run to Colorado. They had a pretty nasty snowstorm.. Most heard it on the news last week. Shut Denver down. Anywho, these are some pics of Winter Park Colorado (50 miles west of Denver on I-70) at or about 11,000 feet.

As usual, I have the originals @ 2580x1932 and 1.1 megs. (3.2 megapixel) available on request.
