Wow, it's beautiful. Do you know what it is?

No idea, but the picture was taken in Florida if that's any help.

I love photography! I use a Canon G11 I got from my fiance for Christmas. Before that I was using a canon SD1000 (can ya tell I love canon). My favorite types of photography are macro and scenery. Here's a couple of my more recent pics.

Just beautiful. I love the Clivia flowers and the b & w in the park. Love the bleeding heart too. In fact, I love them all.​

Oh my, I just got back from Ocean City, MD. and got some great pics. It was a cloudy weekend but was great for taking pics
We spent part of the day on Assateaque Island on the hunt for wild ponies... and we found some!

Most of my pony pics were of them walking or running away

Here's some fun in the sand with awesome ferris wheel on the background

ice cream at Dumser's

the Boardwalk

beach shot

Early morning on the beach

All of these were taken with a Nikon D5000 using the 55-200 mm lens with VS

My girlfriend came with me and she got much better pics with her Nikon D40 and a 55 mm lens. She's had her camera for about a year longer and her improvements are noticable. Here's her blog http://mybabycarrots.blogspot.com/ She's into using the different features of the camera where Im still in auto mode.

Thanks, I was thinking of cropping out the horse poo on the boardwalk... but, thought it added to the effect

I like the water motion too. gogoalie... guess I need to start using features

It's basically simple...set your dial on M setting & use your TTL (through the lens metering) to adjust the settings to get the right metering...if the tick mark for metering is in the middle fo the scale, then you're lighting will be fine for the exposure you've set.

For water flow in BRIGHT day light, you want a HIGHER fstop, (apature, which is like your pupil, gets smaller with more light) say, 22 (smallest setting on my cam), my Canon has a lil' * for the Apature setting. I then dial it up to get to 22, then I press the shutter button half way to see if my Shutter time (AKA Time Value (TV), like your eye lid, can remain open or closed, or blink real fast) is correctly metered. If my time value is too short, say 1/90th of a sec, the meter will tell me that my exposure will be too dark (+2), & I can dial it down to the more appros TV, you can watch your metering scale drop or increase, with each coupla click either way...

If you need more help, lemme know...
