Wow, there are some GREAT photos in this thread. I was going to quote the ones I really liked but there are to many, so Kudos to you all.
I do not have anything close to a good camera but I still like to take pictures, so here are a few of mine. These are all done with a <$200 P&S Pentax Crap Camera and no PS work or editing other than making them smaller in paint and actually reducing the quality a little.
Fall in North Carolina
A Lake in North Carolina
Niagara Falls, from about 50 feet away on a boat.
Niagara Falls, looking at Canada from NY.
An OLD Coke bottle with real fire coming out (Just used a lighter), no PS work at all.
Inside the bottle, again NO PS work. Just lit the bottle from underneath.
Same thing, again NO PS work. All in the lighting.
I liked it, weird I know.
I LOVE this photo. It's looking into the inlet of a Turbocharger on a drag race car. (I am a car nut too)
Thats all for now.
Maybe with my bonus from the Government I will actually get a decent camera.
