Some of these were taken with a Nikon D300 and some with the D700. Not sure what lens he is using... he upgrades camera equipment so often I can''t keep track!

Thank you Portia! I spend a lot of time playing with light--can really become or look like anything.

I love your hubby's bird shot--one of my all time favorites-really. There is something so beautiful and haunting about it--an amazing shot!

I totally agree about light changing the look of something. I would have never guessed your photo was campfire sparks!

LOL! You''d never believe that bird photo was taken on a super crappy, overcast day on the Chicago River and all these dirty-looking birds were swooping down over the river (and my DH). I was outside on our patio thinking my husband is crazy and wasting his time. haha... I''ll never doubt his ''eye'' and creative ability again!

I have some great pics from my honeymoon in Cabo...
This is the first thing we saw when we walked into our room at the Hilton

 

[Tuckins1]

This is the back-side view from our room. It looked out into the desert and mountains, and this moon scape was fantastic.

One more sunset pic...

 

[Tuckins1]

Our last day there it started to storm... The waves were crashing up over the rocks.

 

[Tuckins1]

One more storm pic. (I tried these in B&W... thought they looked cool)Thanks for looking!

 

[portia]

Oh, wow... I really like those sunset pictures!

 

[Tuckins1]

Thank you! Your fireworks pic is absolutely amazing!

A single drop of water on a peacock feather.

 

[MonkeyPie]

Oops, that last one was a red lily LOL. This one is the drop.

I am really looking forward to getting the D300.

 

[MonkeyPie]

Dang it! Stupid drop lol.

 

[Linda W]

Geez Louise, all of you take the most gorgeous pictures. Love that peacock feather Monkey.


I have to close one of my eyes to take a picture. HA

Thanks!
And I actually do that too, but it''s more habit than necessity lol.

This was taken last August...on the strip in Vegas...my fave I have ever taken that does not have a person in it.

 

[marcy]

Great photos. Portia I love your flower shots and the fireworks is amazing.

 

[Elmorton]

These are pretty amateur compared to the amazing shots here...but I thought I''d share some novice pics.

Here''s the mississippi from our minor league baseball stadium

 

[Elmorton]

I''m totally obsessed with this bridge...so here''s another. DH loves this one because it has the seats in it.

 

[Linda W]

Elmorton, I love that shot.

Thanks, Linda! Here''s one from Taliesin this summer -
