I really want a nice SLR, or at least a half-decent camera. I've been taking ones on my phone, but it's only 3 megapixel, so the quality is a bit ass.

Having a Rebel or the Nikon that my friend has would be really awesome, but my first priority is getting a decent video camera.

Well I was gonna post some photos from the vacation I just took in another thread, but I'll just upload a couple real quick to share. One of my favorites I've ever taken; its a picture of one of the dishes at the Very Large Array in New Mexico:

Photobucket

I'm also really proud of how these shots of the Hoover Dam turned out:

Not gallery worthy by any means, but perhaps postcard worthy at least. Smile

Obviously, you don't hate to be an ass because you're very good at it so you must practice a lot, right?

Here are some pictures I've taken over the last few years while living in England that I thought were cool:

I have a few pictures I've taken of here that are pretty nice, but I'd have to go to some effort to share them, and meh. The city's really pretty in winter, though, especially around December when there's well over a metre of snow in some places. It's pretty to look at, but I much prefer being in it. Pictures just can't capture that lovely atmosphere of sitting at a bus stop in negative forty, lol.

Hawk, I really like the middle one you shot. I feel like I could actually imagine being there.

Panda, the snow on the car was awesome.

Vaenamoenen, welcome to the community. First impressions count for something, so perhaps you might want to reconsider what foot you start out on. Criticism, sarcasm, and wit are all useful tools, and are widely used here at Sydlexia.com, but generally taken out of context if people don't know who you are.

Actually no, but I do practice giving & taking a lot of criticism. Sorry if my comment offended somebody, wasn't intentional. That doesn't invalidate my opinion, that it shows if you have actually photographed a bit more. I for example can't take good photos.

Every photo I've ever been in makes my eyes close if there's a flash. My wife says I look like a surly man-hamster who just got woken up.

Very good photos, guys! I'm especially fond of Pandajuice's snowy car one.

Here's some that I took in 2007 and 2008. I used a Pentax 7 megapixel camera.

2007 - Cozumel, Mexico (Tourist Island) - Seashore

I honestly haven't taken many photos with the camera but those Ruins photos were easily my greatest hits on the table. I was especially happy to get some shots without people randomly scattered about, sans the beach photo.

2008 - Top of Mt. Baldy, New Mexico (12,2441 feet above sea level; roughly a 2,500 foot climb for the day. A well-deserved rest!)

My whole family likes that one.

I've been told that one's good, too. Both were at the Kansas City Zoo, in, well, Missouri! Didn't expect that, didja?

These were taken with a cellphone camera, so obviously the quality isn't the best.
