Here's one I took the other day that I'm quite proud of:

Flatulence when bathing is nothing to be proud of, young man

Seriously, nice shot - did you use a filter or manipulate the colour in any way?

For me - back to the English canals on a misty summer's morning:



As I remember, when the mist cleared, it turned into a scorcher of a day.

You caught me Jim, the colors are seriously shopped But what isn't these days. I need to splurge next time  have some dough. The shot itself is a telephoto shot of a rushing river in Lynn Valley in North Vancouver. There's also a wicked suspension bridge that I might have some shots of somewhere...

Nice shot of the channel, btw!

This the bridge you're talking about? My dad used to live in North Van. Smile

Nice pics all of you by the way! Clap

Really? Everytime I go there's hardly anyone there. Everyone goes to Capilano, not knowing that Lynn is free.

Mine aren't - I try to keep all photos exactly as taken; about the only thing I'll do is maybe a bit of judicious cropping or 'mend' an image if there was a spot of crud on the lens.

Now I wish I could take credit for this one, but unfortunately not:



Taken by my wife Vicky (another member here) with her Canon S1.

The dragonfly had just hatched in front of her & you can see the empty larval casing on the right of the shot - classic case of being in the right place at the right time with plenty of patience.

That's a fantastic shot! Clap

Oh and most of my pictures were taken by my friends, not me. I don't even own a camera unfortunately. I'm interested in photography though and am thinking of buying a proper camera this summer. Maybe Mike can help me find a good one.

^Yeah it's not too bad. There's another bridge nearby that's 70 metres, but it's a tourist rip-off.

We don't really have them in Canada, so I'll call them what I please. OR I'll correct myself when Americans start using Colour and Cheque Wink

Been there too. Capilano, right? Cost us a couple of bucks, but it was pretty fun

Just took this one. Found my girlfriend's polarizing filter and decided to take a couple of shots with it. It may never come off my camera now, I'm afraid

Anyways, not sure if I commented in this thread, yet, besides previous post, but I must I've been loving this thread a lot so far. Pittily, I don't have a good cam, if I had, I would surely post something here.
