Photobucket forum has a thread for members to post their favorite picture. I've asked for and got approval to start one here. Just ask that people keep the size down to screen-size, and only one or two at the most, so our dial-up members can enjoy it too. Here's mine: (I've tried this in a larger format as the first one was much too small): the first picture I ever took with my new Kodak 6490 and so far, the best.

Wow! That's a giant screen size flower, and beautiful too! We'll try to post a "best" of our bunch in the next few days, when we find a college or Univ. library or comp. lab. We've taken gobs of pics on this journey up the Rockies and across the northwest. |

Heather, that is among the most awesome things I've seen. Some hurricane imagery compares, some outer space imagery. But that is beautiful. Have you tried shooting birds, nummungbirds or other? I had a friend way back in undergrad college days who would sit all day at a window to capture a shot or two of a bird feeding outside his window. If'n you don't mind, a link of that's going up on the Portal. Oh, for those who don't know, we do have a Portal. |

Wow, Chris, I don't only not mind; I am honored. Thanks! for the compliments. Trailblazer, thank you too. I am so thrilled at being able to do this! I will try the hummingbird thing, etc., once I get the hang of the finer points; there is a manual setting so you can play with shutter speeds, exposures and so on. At least morning glories don't zip around at a thousand MPH while you try to focus on them! I can hardly wait to see everybody else's photos! |

Andrea, the beautiful water was what I loved about that shot, too. Can't you picture what it would be like to snorkel in that little bay? |

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: Is this better?????? karma: We spent a full day at this paradisiac beach, in and out of the water on a beautiful warm sunny day. We always travel alone (my wife and I) and never with a group. We could not stand the tight schedule of a tour operator where you are given 9.65 minutes to visit this or that. The tours usually concentrate their visits to what I call tourist traps (where you can buy T-shits and local things (made in China) and will never stop at a beach like I posted, as you have to carefully climb down to get at. When we travel abroad, we always only have a vague idea of where we are going , how long we will stay in one place. No thanks, no organized tours for us JackD :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: |
