Default Photography Section???

Sounds kinda wierd but hear me out. I have seen allot of members on here with some really sweet pics that were not just taken with **** camera's. I have also seen that alot of people are asking what photos were shot with and exposure, speed, etc. I know Bill (Trever1t) is into taking some cool pics whether it be of his truck or whatever. Just a thought. I have found myself to be interested in it and was curious if it could happen if there was enough interest? I actually take my camera with me allot of the time when I ride my bike into the mountains. Whats everyones opinion?

John, on another note it would help keep some of the common posted topics in a correct thread because there would be a place for it. I think this is some of the reason we get so many off topic things in the wrong area. People are always posting up vacation pics, truck pics etc. I know Bill has posted up a bunch of cool pics of mountains and vietnam etc. I have a bunch of them from all around the world.

I got a cool pic of Mt. Mckinley taken from about 2k feet above and beside it. (Circled around it in a plane.) Some nice beach pictures from around the world also.

I got a buddy that is a photographer and I see some of his pictures and they are awesome. Lighting, coloring etc. Its all about settings and angle etc. I am trying to learn more myself.

Pat, what u said (in red) is absolutely 100% correct. And good luck on your new mod position of it.

On another note, I'd love to see that Mt. Mckinley pic. I just got back Fri. from the 2nd trip I've evre taken to FL. This time, Miami, the Keys& Key West. I had problems w/. my Droid X, so many times I had to use my I touch. The Itouch has only 1mp my nephew said, whereas the Droid is 8Mp. I touch is so simple for pics. I also learned how to zoom on both devices, as I'm not tech saavy, but as u said, I'm learning. I took 200 pics on Droid, 600+ on the Apple. Some I'll need to go thru, some are vids, they vary from normal pics to some really outstanding pics. Some even great action pics like a bird in flight.

I found out in Miami my older digital cam that a friend gave me (while on my trip of course) after I made a special trip to Best Buy, can't use anything faster than 1Gb. I bought a 2Gb they had on shelf, as it was the only 1 left& that fit my cam. I guessed that may be the issue when it wouldn't format, altho I'm not into tech as I said & generally avoid it. So basically they had a memory stick they only certain newer Olympus cams could use, but none of those currently bein sold on the shelf. Apparently they were too new.

And I didn't wanna spring for a new cam w/o researching better. But mostly cause I didn't wanna drop coin at that time, cause I figured I'd probably get a pretty good one.

Slowly I'm movin along tho.

I use my Iphone4 when that is all I have but I also have a Nikon S8000 and a Canon Rebel XTi that I use when possible. The Canon takes awesome pictures but is big and I am still learning the camera.

I like this one too, would have been better if it was from a stationary spot.
