I WILL PUT A COUPLE OF PICS OF MY NEPHEWS (AT 3 DAYS OLD) ON LATER

cwohio

wow - you're quite the talented young lady aren't you! fantastic!

shutterbug

thanks chwohio....I've put my heart and soul into building my abilities in this field for several years now, most important is that I had a blast taking everyone of those! I just pray I never get to a point where I plateau and don't feel like learning any more or experiencing any more - but I don't have anything to worry about for a long, long time at least.

You'd be amazed at the most awsome kind of talent there is out there! I recently came across the most beautiful work of a girl doing self-portriats and not only is she beautiful, but it's baffeling to me that she takes all her own pictures of herself and then manipulates them into the most unique and gorgeous images!

And I only recently learned that she's just 16 years old!!! Can you imagine!

cwohio

darn younguns! LOL it is truly a talent and i thank you for sharing your pictures!

2dayzmuse

Yes, indeed.

Nina Kay

Oh Shutter,
You really really are talented. Thank you so much for sharing those. I look forward to getting to see some more. I loved them all, but was particularly amazed at how good that picture came out taken while looking through the car's side-view mirror. That was very impressive.

shutterbug

Thank YOU for taking the time to view them!

2Dayz: I noticed earlier that when you put it in as an avitar that it looked odd...it's a large photo since I wasn't at work to shrink it before loading it to the web. If it might work better...I can shrink it tomorrow at work and e-mail it to you or post another link to the smaller photo.

Thank you Nina...that photo was my over-active brain being bored on one of my many 30 minute drives home...LOL! I don't recomend anyone taking pictures with a 2 pound camera while going 75 mph down the highway!!!!!!!!! Or even a 2 ounce camera for that matter! I tend to do let my passions over-ride my need for safety....(I would have some awsome tornado pics from this season, but I made the mistake of telling mom I wanted to go chase the ones nearby....result was 3 other photogs got awsome pics, but not me...LOL. Mom said if I want to go that next time I'd better tell her I'm still at work in front of my computer instead).

****So kids...moral of the story is....please don't try this at home (or on the road)! It just could end up the last picture you ever take*****

And Nina...it was a fairly simple pic to take I just bumped up the ISO on my camera so that I could have a high enough shutter speed to stop the movement of me and the other cars. The hardest part was getting the focusing right since I couldn't look through the view finder and drive at the same time...lol. And the beauty of digital cameras is that you can view the results and make changes until your happy.

thank you all again....giant hugs!

shutterbug

2Days...BTW...where did your current avitar come from...it's really lovely.

Live

I was able to pull up the first one.....my hubby likes to do that alot, the digital tweeks.

Someday....y'all are going to have to talk...with such a shared passion in common!
