It's kinda fun being a tweaker!

Just say no to drugs!

I love fireworks. :)

:waveflag: Beautiful photos..

I guess that's better than being a twerker :hitaxeonthehead:

Looks great, Scott.

Hunting hummingbirds sounds like tough work, but I guess someone has to do it. :mock:

Great photos as always.

LOL - Thanks.

Those little Hummingbirds are much tougher to shoot than these buggers.

I can hit that squirrel from 100 feet with my .22 --- and doubt I could hit the hummingbird...



Oh wait -- you're talking about shooting with a camera!! :EmoteClueless:

It's that time of year again

A couple of pictures from Niagara.

That last pic is amazing Greg!

Nice pictures of the falls, Greg. I didn't know they lit the falls up like that. Looks nice.


Here's one that turned out really well. I just have a simple point and shoot Cannon Power Shot S90. I just got back from Durango, CO today. I spent the last three days there just out riding around and enjoying the area one last time. I highly recommend everyone go drive the San Juan Skyway at least once. It's totally worth it. I'm just on the north side of Red Mountain Pass in this picture. Red Mountain is behind me.

I have others of scenery if anyone wants some convincing as to the quality of the area.

Thanks Nathan, its a really cool place.


Looks like an awesome place Trey, I really like getting out to the country side.

Yesterday closing

Now that I finally have a decent online photo site. Here's probably the best picture I have ever taken.

Nice pic! Good choice, seriously doubt you'll be disappointed with Smuggy. :D

I've found that the best size to display landscape shots is XL and portrait shots is 2XL. :thumbsup:

The Pic Monkey photo edit is pretty darn good too! Takes some time to learn it but I use it a lot.

Met Bruiser on our walk this morning........200lbs and talk about a meat mouth. :D

beautiful pictures guys.
Curtis I always loved that picture.

Caught a little of last night's light show. We don't get much lightning around here and this is the second photo I've ever taken, the last was with a film camera. This was hand held braced against a window frame. ISO 100, 18mm focal length, f/3.5, 2 second exposure......I have no idea what the ideal settings range would be for shooting lightning though I'm guessing a higher aperture value is desirable.

Sieg,

Yep, those hummingbirds are one tough pic for me to take.

Glad you had a 'spare' to share...sent it off to the wife.

Great thread, many great pics. :thumbsup:

Not mine but worth sharing it seems.

IIRC it was taken last nite in Colorado.

This was takin with an Iphone a while back. Downtown Seattle early morning.

Our "new-to-us" car...

Thought this ended up being good. I was going to post it in a "Random pics of your car" type thread but I didn't see one.

So - living in the mountains is proving to be real "interesting". Today was 81* - and in less than 2 hours - it dropped to 58*.... and the black sky boiled with lightening and tremendous rains and huge hail....

A strike hit the side of "Sun Peak" -- which happens to be the base of the area we're building our new house here in. You can see the "wind tunnel" effect thanks to the smoke... and thanks to the torrential rains... it was put out. In another 5 minutes those town homes would have been in real peril! The winds were howling and that's never good for containing fires!!

Sweet!! I had a few of those, fun cars and there's a lot of mods for them

Lightning is sure scarry and as for the temp swing we have 40 and even 70 temps swings here in Chicago all the time.

Thanks! This one will stay mostly stock. Being a 2+2, it's a N/A car. It's also an auto. In a couple of years, I think I might have to pick twin turbo/5-speed. :idea:

Had a little house guest this morning that allowed a photo op. Not a bad exposure for a phone. I cropped this down quite a bit and the resolution surprised me. The little guy let me pick him up and take him outside without a fight thankfully!

http://sieg.smugmug.com/Phone-Images..._081621-X2.jpg

This one was taken using the Instagram ap which appears to lack resolution.

http://sieg.smugmug.com/Phone-Images..._081320-X2.jpg

Yes, I cleaned the window sill afterwards and made a note to redo the caulking. :D

Thanks... This one will stay pretty stock I think.

I also think I might have to pick one up for myself (this one is my wife's). I'm thinking a 2+2 with a Twin Turbo swap.

Thanks for a dose of Dirt Fever J-Dawgy. :thumbsup:

Were you at the game?

Good friends that live one street over...their son, Matt Wogan, is Oregon's kicker.

A little KWS at Ventura I see. Nice pics thanks for sharing...

Yes we were, the arena is about 7 minutes from home and we go to as many VB games as our kid schedule allows.

Small world.....Oregon's sports programs have taken it to another level in the last few years. :D

Let your friends know if I can help them out locally in anyway I'd be glad to.
