Nice photo. Here is one I took a few months ago, my son said it looked like a dragon in the sky.

Nice shots, I can say with some authority that my sunsets shots suck. As is my landscape shots in general. But I'm learning.

Doug, this is thanks to you. I gave away an old Pentax 35mm set-up that I used 10-15 years ago. It had a few Conkin filters in it I found and since the holder didn't fit the new lenses I have, I just held it in front. Gonna have to play with this some more.

Nice shots everyone.

Took this in '06 from the deck of a cruise ship, somewhere in Alaska, with my P&S Coolpix4600.

this is a little off topic, nighttime pictures. I was in iraq for 12 months and we had a really bad storm during the rainy season, which lasts one month lol and it rains atleast 48 inches just in that one month, then no more rain the entire year. Anyways, my best friend and I took a combine 600 pictures that night to get these 3. i will post them one after another.

also, the echo bay photo is amazing, i feel like i am there feeling the breeze, lol, that is a very in depth photo, would you mind if i use it as a back drop on my cpu?

Just out of interest, and to help us newbies along, could any of you post up some details on settings/equipment you are using for these beautiful shots. Like if you are using a tripod, what shutter speed, any filters etc. I have just bought a Canon 40D with the 17-85 kit lense and also bought the EF 70-200 1:4 L lens. I would love to be able to take some shots like this, I'll give it a crack over the weekend.

Thanks,
Dave.
