Default Photograpy..I enjoy taking pictures

Ok, so basically this is going to be my picture whoring thread. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

I've always like going around and taking fun photographs, so that's what this is. I haven't done this in a while, but lately got inspired to try taking better photographs, detail, landscape, ect. Pictures of something other than my explorer

If you have any advice on any techniques/other advice...whatever..feel free to post. I'll start this out with some pictures I took tonight on a little drive.

Equipment: Cannon PowerShot S3 IS

If for..some reason..you would want any of these in full size..not sure why..but if you would, PM me.

Ok, I'm from Wisconsin. I love farms and fields...so sue me.:



And old fences..I saw a nice old rusty gate standing by itself, fence on both sides had fallen down/deteriorated, but I didn't get a picture of it. Looked really neat though, trust me


Not to mention trains...

I have some other spots I want to go to, and get some good pictures of..train stuff...

Finally, just thought these old bricks looked cool


And this I just thought was funny...noticed it on my little drive

Earlier in the day I tried to get some detail shots of flowers and stuff around the house, but somebody changed the resolution settings on the camera...so this is actually full quality..:shifty_ey




These were taken last week sometime. It's a nice day out, and I might go snap some more pictures today after class If I do, and I have any I like, I'll post them.

For some reason I like the bricks the most..
Probably because of it's individuality. I do believe that is the FIRST picture of a pile of bricks that I have ever seen. Very unique.

You may like some of these pictures that I've taken over the last couple of months. I'm by no means a photographer, I just seem to get caught in the right places at random times. Also, some are from a float trip I took earlier this summer.
taken with a 10Mega Pixel digital camera.

Enjoy!

You can see the tip of my canoe in that one. There was a decent sized cave along the river.






On the last morning of the trip we woke up at 5am to float the last ten miles in the fog! It was amazing.



I'm not sure why I threw this one in here... or why I took it..
But it's from a bike ride in the country!



I took this at an air show back in may. I LOVE this picture.



I took this while we were working on the 3000gt body.



Another of the grinder.



A picture of me at the peak of Mt. Bierstadt (14,060 feet) Colorado.


I have a bunch more if anyone would like me to keep posting pictures.
I just figured that was enough for one reply.
