My other camera disappeared or got stolen so I haven't had a camera for a while. I bought a new one a couple weeks ago and I am amazed by the clarity and the quality of the pictures I have taken. Just tooling around in the backyard and got some amazing shots :D I just wanted to share the ones I posted on DA.

Lovely. Now send some to Birds and Blooms magazine to get some exposure. These are marvelous nature pictures.

Love that orange lilly....that is an exceptionally good shot. Looks like that new camera was a great choice.

Great shots. What camera did you buy?

AlwaysQuilting 08-02-2011 03:38 AM

Those are gorgeous, crisp photos.
Can I ask what camera you bought?
I've always wanted to learn photography but I don't have an "eye" for composition.

Beautiful pictures... I love the one with the bee... isnt it amazing what we can see when we slow down a bit... thanks for sharing.

Sandee 08-02-2011 08:07 AM

Beautiful pictures!

Tess 08-02-2011 09:25 AM

The first one is just gorgious. It is the sort of picture that draws you to it. The last the black and white is very striking. Very good job. Keep going you definitely have a talented eye for photography.

ssgramma 08-02-2011 09:39 AM

The 1st and the last REALLY need to be submitted for print!

I'd also like the info on your new camera please.

annthreecats 08-02-2011 10:02 AM

Spectacular photos. Looks like you are enjoying your new camera.

QuiltingNinaSue 08-02-2011 10:30 AM

I am guessing you have a new Nikon camera. Lovely shots. Yes, there is strength in your black & white shot; beauty contrast there. You lead the viewer into the picture and your picture is divided into thirds, the way I was taught.

Love to see more of your pictures.

Love that orange lilly with the rain drops!

nativetexan 08-02-2011 12:38 PM

Nikon COOLPIX S6100. Its $189 at Wal-Mart. A bit pricey, but it is SO well worth it. I'm hoping I can get some cool shots with it when I go see Kittie next weekend.

Beautiful, thank-you for sharing.

Deecee 08-02-2011 02:46 PM

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to replace my camera at the moment.

FancyFoot 08-02-2011 02:54 PM

Excellent shots...Lookin forward to seeing some Kittie pics. Have a great time 8-) 8-) 8-)

MrsMoe4487 08-02-2011 03:43 PM

Very nice pictures! I take a lot of flower pictures too...I think I get weird looks from people as I'm laying on the ground trying to get an interesting angle but its worth it! Keep it up and have fun!

I got some great concert pics by shooting the big screen with the performers on stage in the foreground so be sure to shoot the big screen too :-)

I've been to the venue they're playing at when I went to see them play last year. They didn't have big screens. Only time I've seen big screens with Kittie was when they were playing at a rock festival in Madison...and there was mud on them from idiots having mud fights in the mosh pits.

michyd19 08-03-2011 03:49 PM
