I got out and used my camera today...

Love those colours - thanks for sharing. Where did you find all these lovely creatures?

 

Took those at a beach on the ocean in Seattle during a very low tide. The crabs are getting ready to mate!

 

a longer video should be online soon at

I too love the colors. Great find with the sea creatures.

Enjoyed my late afternoon watching these terns fishing for their dinner.

Dileep, those are some interesting critters. I've been to plenty of beaches and have never seen an array of colour and hidden treasures like that before. Fabulous pics.

 

Sharod, loved the affect on the photos. Great pics.

 

Ravi, beautiful bird shots, as usual. The bottom one is my favorite, it looks like an artists rendition.

Dileep, I've been enjoying your beautiful photos and am hoping you me be able to help me with a little advice, since you are in Seattle. We have a 9 hour layover at the Seattle Airport flying home from our Alaskan cruise. I am an avid amateur photographer and would love to spend some time trying to get some shots during our layover. Any advice on how to spend 9 hours and still get back to the airport in time for our continuing long day of flying en route back to Mississippi?

This little guy sat by my fish pond for quite a while today:)

I love dragonflies. Unfortunately the ones we have in Texas aren't particularly attractive - no pretty colors.

Wow! Now that's a close-up!

[FL Naturelover]

What kind of lens do I need to take pictures like this?

This is one of the prettiest dragonfly's that I have seen here.

 

Wow! Now that's a close-up!

 

I was sitting about 10 feet away. He sat for a LONG time on my hummingbird decoration that sits beside my koi pond/water garden.

 

What kind of lens do I need to take pictures like this?

 

Just my Canon SX40HS. It's what I do all my shooting with.

[Debathome]

Sharod, fab photos of the dragonfly. Amazing.

 

 

Shootr, now I'm hungry for something sweet. :D

Okay, Not taken today but a couple of weeks ago on our Med cruise....

 

 

Villefranche, France. A really beautiful waterfront and great town on the Riviera.

You may want to check the warranty on your lens....there is some pretty serious keystone distortion in the picture and it looks worse on the right side! :eek:

 

On the serious side, nice shot of a nice place!

Here is one of the pictures of an eagle I got last week in Alaska on our cruise. Took this one in Juneau.

That's one aggravated looking eagle. You know he's thinking, "Don't you dare take my picture until I dry off." :)

I just love this shot. It almost looks like a painting.

Venice is one of my favorite cities, I could spend a week there taking pictures. The light wasn't great when we went to Murano, but I do love their glass.

 

 

 

How in the world would you ever get this home in 1 piece?

Thank you, it was taken through a double decker trolley window. :o

 

Dave, thanks, I saw a guy with tools as we left so it may be fixed by now. :p

 

Beautiful Murano glass shots. I was wondering the same thing recently at people buying the glass show designs on our Celebrity cruise. They were not delivered home to them, I saw people walking off the ship with them wrapped up. :eek:

 

Sparky, great shot of the eagle. They are such a majestic bird.

somewhere we weren't supposed to be..... Government offices in Genoa on a Sunday. They were closed but someone left the door open. ;) These are two of my travel gal pals having a look around.
