Just a little offering to the action pic.

I have taken some very intresting action shot's myself. I also have a D60 It will take some pratice but by rasing your ISO you will get a cleaner shot.

Have you Tried Ritz Camera Many of their store's offer Saturday course's for a resonable price the courses do vary and offer different prespective's in Photoography.

I have talked with several Photographers before making my choice One has and uses a Nikon She told me with her camera she could interchange the old style lens which she could buy for a song. The only thing she needed to do were the adjustments before shooting. She actually steered me towards the Canon. The other Photographer has a $8,000 dollar pro Canon He also told me for the money I invested that I have one great camera. To tell you the truth it took me three months of study before I made my final decision. My next purchase will be a 75mm x 300mm lens for my 60D. All in all i'm glad that I bought the Canon and look forward to many hours of shooting Photo's

You are correct it is Northmoreland Park I like getting out to the parks to shoot from time to time can't wait till the leaves change. The next pic was part of the same shoot.

Although eather camera will give you great shots I chose the D60 the main reason being the 18mp. You will find that eather camera in itself is a great walk around camera and will give you many hours of service and pleasure.

Thanks I also like you also have a great shot. Semper Fi

I have Adobe Photoshop elements 9 I have been following the online instructions to creat a copyrighted watermark for online display. I also have windows 7. When I try to create the mark it never displays per instruction it just doesn't work. Also the enlargement is failing. Any Ideas as to why? Thanks and Semper Fi
p.s. caputure some really cool shots on our first real cold morning this past week let me know how you like this one?

I just discovered the beauty of night shots. A friend who is a real Photographer turned me onto the idea after looking into one of his albums. I'm still working on the photos and I know I need a remote shutter to get the best responce. Any other Ideas will be appreaciated thanks and Semper Fi.

I use a hood from time to time to shade the lens from the effects of the sun my standard walk around lens is 67mm X 18mm X 135mm. The hood is an aftermaker foldable hood so I can leave it on the camera. Depending on the shot I sometimes get the following effect. I asked about this an have determined it was the cause of two things. 1. aftermarket design. 2. Telescoping in on the subject. I have ordered the proper lens fr my camera and should expect bettter results in the future.

You were right it is the aftermarket lens hood. since i have a 67mm x 18 mm x135mm when i zoom in on a subject at just the right sun angle it causes the effect.

I love pictures of children they can show so much innocence and sheer beauty. The first pic is perfect you have captured the essence of curosity. The sencond photo is nice also but needs to be a bit more centered. The third is probally the hardest to capture and infant smiling in a posed position good work.

Dear Cat. Thank you for being who you are. It's times like this that make's life hard for a Mother. But no matter what. You have Children that you can be very proud of. Just remember it's people like you and your Children who are the Heart and Soul of our great Nation. In the Marine Corps Cat we have a saying. It goes something like this "Their is no job harder in the Corps than being a Marine Mom". But you can also extend that trueism to the Mother's of anyone who serve. Like your neighbor I'm a Vietnam Veteran and I ask for nothing, but I appreaciate and pray for all those serve and have served everyday. Thank you cat for your Children and for being who you are.

the older the cemetery the better older monuments seem to tell better stories.

I find Cemetery’s a wonderful place to shoot. They are the last tributes we place on loved ones when they pass from this life. I also like Cemetery's because of the art and character they display I guess you could call it a Dark Beauty.
