Favorite photos you've taken

And out of that last batch, here's another one. Only wish the shutter would have been a little faster, but the very minute motion blur isn't enough to really take away from the whole thing.

snapped this at Myrtle Beach last week.

I'm starting to process and post the 300+ pictures I got at the 3 Doors Down/ZZ Top concert Saturday night. I'm surprised at how many look to be "postable" at first glance.

The colors in the pictures you post are amazing. What type of camera do you have?

 

[scarletmike]

I have a Sony Alpha A200 with 18-70 and 75-300mm lenses. I always shoot in RAW now and post-process in either Lightroom or Photoshop (Lightroom for mass batches like these concert photos, Photoshop for lower numbers or photos that I really have to work on stuff), which is how I really bring out the colors in the pictures. The next glass purchase is either a super wide angle or a fisheye, hopefully before my trip out west next year.

EDIT: I never really go for anything other than realism when I process my photos. I've not been able to get the hang of HDR anyway yet. The way you see my photos is the way I saw them through my own eyes/viewfinder, maybe pushing the colors a bit to make certain things stand out.

I think I have a cheap camera........

I've finally got around to finishing out the 3 Doors Down pictures and have started processing the ZZ Top pictures. This is the first one posted (and my favorite so far).

Just returned from an Alaskan vacation. Took a flightseeing tour of Denali and Mt McKinley. It also included a glacier landing right next to the base camp for climbers. Needless to say, I was impressed.

Alaska is probably going to elude me for a very long time, but I intend on getting there with my camera before I die. The mountains and the snow are absolutely beautiful.

Probably the funniest moment during the ZZ Top concert. Billy had been playing for a good 15-20 seconds (at least) without strumming and asked us if we wanted to know how he did it. The answer was...



I figured you all would appreciate this one.

iPhone + Instagram might be so cheesy and trendy, but it really can produce some pretty photos.

Here's one I took at the beach last week after the clouds moved inland.
