If I had a good camera, Id take a shot of this little patch where I live. It has a single tree on the hedge line. The sun sets right behid It. It'd be perfect.

Have you seen the one used for 6 feet under? Or whatever the program Is called. Its something similar to that.

Oh, I dontate 500 EFD to the winner too :)

No, I havent seen that one, but I have several pics from the same shoot as proof that I took the one posted.. Some are even more intense, but am saving them for any unforseen competition :)
 
Nice picture! I usually do only sunrises as i can only see it from my house. They are much prettier here than the sunsets :)

Sunrises are acceptable as well :)
 
Here is my entry. Had an ice storm here so I took a pic off my deck. Now if I only had a good scanner for dealing with my chrome.

Nice, and yes, am using an older model fujifilm 2.0 . The sharpness could have been gotten with a normal 35mm, but I have found it much less expensive to fire off 200 or so shots on my digital. I will take k's of pics, looking for the perfect one :). Used to cost me a ton of money when I used standard 35mm 400.

Yep you can get the sharpness off a 35 clearly, but like you said it costs a ton. I don't have a professional scanner to achieve these results sadly.

Ooh, i like that one! So pretty!
 
I will have to dig up my sunrises. Unfortunately i have not been able to get any pretty ones the past year (or maybe i just have not been too interested in them?!)

Wasn't sure if I should post 2 as well. Will remove if you want me to just pick my favorite.

Nah, lets make a show of it. After the contest ends, we will have people pick the favorite :)
 
Seems like we have some uber-photographers here ;)

Hmm, Im not so good. Actually everything I manage to catch with my camera has something to do with alcohol :scratch2:

Would it be cheating if I posted any of my sisters pictures and claimed them as mine!?

Hmm Ill upload them tomorrow...

There will be a shitload, since she tends to sleep on the day just to catch the moon and the sunrise. Yeah, she's wacko...

Go to stretch/skew and reduce the overall size of the image. Make sure they are saved as .jpg images.


That looks pretty good for a scan, btw ;)

Even better if by regular camera she meant a point-and-shoot 35 using color negative film. That would almost make one wish they had their slr with them ;)

Nice pics Cinni!
 
I have a couple of sunsets I want to enter. I don't think they are equal to what we've seen until now, but I took them and just want to show others. They were both taken on our cruise aboard the MS Elation, a Carnival ship, in March of last year.


Sunset over the Carribean


...and another...

That's all I have. I hope you like them.

Sincerely,
Donald

Great looking shots Donald. Looks like you had a nice trip. :D
 
Thanks, Cal! I did have a nice trip, and two more since those pics were taken. I am something of a cruise-junky! :)
