I edited the lighting and saturation, and stuff in Lightroom, but photos aren't altered in any way.

[omentheduck]

[EsotericLucidity]

Great idea!

[camMyco]

Here are two stain-glass photos from MX Not the photos I was looking for but I wanted to post in the thread, and I'm stuck at work.

[chimp]

a few pics

[twoguysupnorth]

for a second there i though oib had the same flowers as me. i think these are forget-me-nots, but i am not sure.

[joystik]

These pics were taken at a friends farm. I used a Canon S5 IS. This camera has great macro capabilities and a 12X zoom. Im very surprised.

I wonder if anyone knows what kind of mushrooms is that? It looks like a coprinus family, but i wouldnt know. I pulled one out and it grew from the clay under the soil.

Hope u like the pics.

[chimp]

Nice Pics!

[Freaky]

Always nice to go through this thread and enjoy the photos! Nice shots!


The Luna Moth is beautiful. She (I think its a female from her "eyes" on her wings) was pretty high up on a barn door and I didn't have anything to stand on to get a better shot. Absolutely one of the most beautiful moth's on Earth imho.




This was a tiny tiny mushroom found growing on a quarter piece of a hickory nut husk. Actually I found two of them on two different hickory nut husks.





~~~ note: these photo's were only resized for uploading here, no other editing done. I should learn to edit them though, they'd be much better most likely. ~~~

[kyle_w44]

Here are just a few of the many pictures I've taken. I feel very fortunate to live in Alaska, love this place to death...

[MycoChondria]

Kyle, thanks so much for sharing those.
I had the opportunity do a first-time trip to Juneau a while back and fell in love with the Mendenhall glacier. I swear, from the plane it looked like I was viewing a frozen waterfall...I didn't realize what I was looking at until we landed and I asked someone what I saw. Awesome...

Please more pics if you have 'em...BTW, any aurora pics?

Peace

[ernestro]

Backyard pics...the baby chipmunk (#5) is so damned cute, eh?

(BTW, no animals were mistreated or injured in the last two pics )

[kyle_w44]

hey 907wizard, i imagine that you are in AK judging by the name. where do you live?

[twoguysupnorth]

nice pics all. i like the iceskating one. i wish i had a camera the other night to catch a pic of a cloud with rays from the setting sun shining through it.

the frogs just moved in, the pond has been there for 3 yrs and first we would keep goldfish and small koi in there but it was hard to keep them over the winter so now the frogs have it to themselves. its small so it warms up first in the spring. we kept a turtle in there for 2 yrs also but he decided to head for the lake last yr.

[Looky]

These little deer were so cute. They are so tiny, must have been born very recently. They are smaller that my lab. I think I took the picture on close-up mode so it didn't come out as good as it should have.

[tomorrow_boy]

Photo from yesterdays trip to England, Castle of Dover.

I know it's a small pic and not the best, but not bad for a camera phone!!

Photography and The Law: Know Your Rights


Say you’re out for a photographic stroll, taking pictures of that cool old power plant on the edge of town. Suddenly seventy security guards swarm you and demand you hand over your camera.
“What is this,” you ask yourself, “a Michael Moore movie?”
You’re sure you haven’t done anything wrong, but you don’t know whose side the law is on. Fret no more- we’ve got a list of things you can and can’t do, and it’s a lot more permissive than you might think.
Now grab your camera back from that Rent-A-Cop and let’s hit the books.
The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography*
*Charlton Heston not included

Before we get started here, we have to point out that even though we’re smart and awesome and devastatingly attractive, we’re not lawyers. None of this should be construed as legal advice. If you have a legal issue, get in touch with a lawyer. Much of this information was gleaned from attorney Bert P. Krages‘ website, so we’ll go ahead and recommend him.
The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography.

I. Anyone in a public place can take pictures of anything they want. Public places include parks, sidewalks, malls, etc. Malls? Yeah. Even though it’s technically private property, being open to the public makes it public space.

II. If you are on public property, you can take pictures of private property. If a building, for example, is visible from the sidewalk, it’s fair game.

III. If you are on private property and are asked not to take pictures, you are obligated to honor that request. This includes posted signs.
IV. Sensitive government buildings (military bases, nuclear facilities) can prohibit photography if it is deemed a threat to national security.

V. People can be photographed if they are in public (without their consent) unless they have secluded themselves and can expect a reasonable degree of privacy. Kids swimming in a fountain? Okay. Somebody entering their PIN at the ATM? Not okay.

VI. The following can almost always be photographed from public places, despite popular opinion:
accident & fire scenes, criminal activities
bridges & other infrastructure, transportation facilities (i.e. airports)
industrial facilities, Superfund sites
public utilities, residential & commercial buildings
children, celebrities, law enforcement officers
UFOs, the Loch Ness Monster, Chuck Norris

VII. Although “security” is often given as the reason somebody doesn’t want you to take photos, it’s rarely valid. Taking a photo of a publicly visible subject does not constitute terrorism, nor does it infringe on a company’s trade secrets.

VIII. If you are challenged, you do not have to explain why you are taking pictures, nor to you have to disclose your identity (except in some cases when questioned by a law enforcement officer.)

IX. Private parties have very limited rights to detain you against your will, and can be subject to legal action if they harass you.

X. If someone tries to confiscate your camera and/or film, you don’t have to give it to them. If they take it by force or threaten you, they can be liable for things like theft and coercion. Even law enforcement officers need a court order.

What To Do If You’re Confronted
Be respectful and polite. Use good judgement and don’t escalate the situation.
If the person becomes combative or difficult, think about calling the police.
Threats, detention, and taking your camera are all grounds for legal or civil actions on your part. Be sure to get the person’s name, employer, and what legal grounds they claim for their actions.

If you don’t want to involve the authorities, go above the person’s head to their supervisor or their company’s public relations department.

Call your local TV and radio stations and see if they want to do a story about your civil liberties.

Put the story on the web yourself if need be.

Wow!! I love this pic. Congrats MJ.

[mysticwonder]

This Thread is Absolutely Amazing. I love It.

[Looky]

Some berries. Then 1 of the lakes next to my house. I need to get a picture of the sunset over the lake, that will be upcoming, it's really pretty. Then the hill we used to sled down when we were kids. The steepness of that hill doesn't come out in the picture, but it is a doosy (sp?). Have to put on the bakes at the bottom, otherwise you'll end up in prickers and then a stream. Lastly the sole mushroom I found on my walk.
