No offense, oli, but why the tilt? Seems to be an odd framing, which might explain some of the "IT'S ON FIRE!" look.olimario said:A new one.
Christmas lights on a foggy night.
On a side note, I think those sisters are walking right next to my sister-in-laws church. St. Francis Xavier College Church?

Uh oh, MrAngryFace is holding nothing back! He doesn't even need to show his pics - he's the Chuck Norris of photograpy.

Ok, seeing as how I spent a while last night to post in the other thread, only to be the last poster in it, and watching the thread plummet into obscurity, I felt justified in a simple copy-paste.
Some photos from my recent trip abroad. People from the respective places should be able to pick where I've been!
...and lastly, I SO wish I had actually bought these:

Well, that would rule out St. Francis Xavier, but man, the similarities are striking. Are you sure it wasn't a large Catholic church near SLU?olimario said:
To stay on topic, I'll see if I can upload some of my pictures of it when I get home.

I was almost sure it was Presbytarian, but I'm sure you know St. Louis better than I do.
I wish I still had my pictures from the Basillica. That place is amazing.
Here are a couple pictures from an outdoor mall in The Woodlands, TX

Ok, thanks.
I can see Olimario's latest two (in the post above, but none of his previous...(3?). I posted 8. I'm starting to become paranoid, like I'm on another server or something, and only certain people can see my posts. Then again, maybe it's just because I'm uninteresting.

if you don't intend to use the flash, you have to be super human and not move that camera at all what so ever, or just use a tripod.Mashing said:
without a tripod, night pictures are just gonna be blurry messes. of course, this is if you don't use the flash.

Should rename this thread the holiday/vacation edition. I'll get mine online soon.
edit:
For my holiday I went to Victoria and for 4 days a small group of friends and family went on a camping trip in a national park called Mount Buffalo.
This was on a walk to a small waterfall. The walk was mostly flat but we were surrounded by lots of hills covered in dead trees left by a huge bushfire that had passed through there a few years ago.
The landscape was really interesting on this walk. Ground cover of lush green grass, dull grey trees and lichen covered rocks made for a real eye opener. Photographs don't really do it justice.
Even the rocks are happy.
More of the same.
You'll make lots of new friends on this walk.
Because there are people in this shot it's good to get a sense of scale.
This was the massive waterfall we were greeted with when we got there... at least the view was nice, but doesn't really come off too well in photos.
Decided to get a nice wide shot of the area on the way back.
The trees make the bush seem really eerie and haunted, like it should be something out of a Tim Burton film.
It's kinda difficult to make out in this shot, but I was trying to show how much damage the bushfire of a few years ago did.
Same with this one, but I also liked how the road snaked through the terrain.
There were other walks which had even better views and landscape but my parents left early and took the digital camera with them What made those walks really impressive to oogle at was the sun beginning to set which made for awesome lighting and shadows (better than anything the x360 could do). I'd love to go back with a proper digital camera (SLR and a nice big lens) a tripod and some advanced knowledge of photography to do the place justice in pictures. But honestly, you just have to be there to appreciate it.
The camping trip was a highlight of the entire 3 weeks holiday.

Alucard said:You guys suck. I want a good digital camera.
You know, I'm not even a noob photogrpaher yet...I'm WAAAY before that, but I've been thinking that there are several levels or types of photography - you can have your fancy-pants artsy shots, shots all about the opportunity of capturing them, or simply beatiful shots (and more, obviously). Photography is only what is made of it, and hi-tech equipment isn't necessary to enjoy it - of course, certain types of shots will be impossible without the right stuff, but someimtes a good phot isn'y about the quality of the picture, but thre quality of the photographer.
It all starts with what you want to say in your picture. You can express (and impress) simply by how you take a crappy quality picture. I don't have anything more fancy than a compact digital.
Having said that I've been eyeing up a digital SLR mostly to see if it would be fun to use (I know nothing about fotography), but the EOS 350D is pretty affordable now...

The Basillica? You mean the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis? Just down the street from where the pictures of the sisters was taken, maybe 8-10 blocks? If so, I tookolimario said:

Some of you guys are posting some great stuff.
This is ganked from the old thread, which I didn't know was about to die when I posted. Let's see if this one survives my onslaught.
