I'm depressed. I also have high blood pressure. I believe POTUS 45 is aggravating both problems. The only thing that might be worse is the real possibility he might push the FOOTBALL BUTTON!
I agree. Your last shot will make a great Christmas car. I would also suggest you consider doing this shot with her sporting those 'star' glasses.
Right on.
Great shot of an area we both love.
As you enjoy your new hobby, you will take pictures of many different things, sunsets, landscapes, close-ups of bugs, street shots of people, etc. Eventually you'll want a lens that will allow further specialization. In time, I'm guessing you either answer this question for yourself or at least be able to ask members of UHH a similar question, but with specific possible purposes in mind.
I hope you joy your new hobby as much as we UH Hoggers do.

In 1967 my photography hobby started with a Pentax Spotmatic 35mm film camera. At first I mostly shot Ektachrome, but quickly determined that it was too expensive for my beginning school teacher salary. I economized by buying a bulk film loader and reloading empty cassettes with b/w film. I also learned to develop my own film in a daylight film developing tank. Finally, an enlarger rounded out my hobby and I happily splashed around in my bathroom with an easy-to-set-up table over the bathtub where the enlarger was stationed. Print washing was done below the table in a plastic print washing device.
It was many decades later that digital cameras came along and I jumped on that bandwagon with a 6MP Minolta zoom lens camera. I instantly loved the convenience and lower cost of only needing to buy memory cards. Even though that first digital camera was only a 6MB camera, I found the quality of those pictures amazing. (Also by then, everyone including us had home computer so including a digital camera was a natural plugin to it all.
But in the deep recesses of my mind, I still fondly remembered those film camera days where I learned the basics of exposure, film speed iris settings and depth of field. I had also learned to love that special look of pictures taken with film cameras.
Now, after buying an Epson V600 film scanner, I'm once again shooting film along with my digital cameras. (I've even expanded the film side of my hobby by adding medium format film cameras to it.) The major difference now that after developing my b/w film, I scan it and do post processing at the computer.
I am enjoying the best of both worlds because of the Epson scanner.
Your girl is beautiful with stars!
Still use my 6 horse, though my garden is now smaller and it's harder to turn around.
Great shots, and Liverpool has such diverse and eclectic buildings.
A lovely picture to match the optimistic lyrics of this classic song and jazz standard.
Wow! That is a nice clean shot of three UFOs. Now I'm a believer.
Early on Joseph Smith tried a devining rod and it didn't work for him either. He however had better luck when he discovered some gold plates. Now the LDS Church with its billions of dollars can afford to dig all of the deep wells it needs for their baptismal fonts.
Needless to say, I don't pay the 10% required to stay in their favor and therefore will not end up residing for all eternity in their best kept country club amongst the clouds. Thats OK. I'd rather spend all eternity with all the dogs I've owned and loved throughout my mortal years.
