Ok you'se two, I'm not letting you have all the fun. Here are my snaps. A little hobby of mine whilst I holiday. Plenty more to follow - Turkey, China, Majorca, Cyprus, Disney Florida and whatever else I can dig out to share with the world. I really lowered the size though so they can't be pinched and used elsewhere.  Brooklyn Bridge, NY.  Big Shot rollercoaster, Stratosphere Hotel, Las Vegas - the highest rides in the world I believe.  A San Fransisco Cable Cart - Postcard perfect shot and one of my favourites. Hope you like, more to follow. Comments are of course welcome, just don't use big words. |

Cool pics! I like the cable cart best.The GoldenGatebridge-pic has very good perspective and a different angle on what one normally sees of the bridge.

Another update for you.................  A nice view of San Fransisco.  The Las Vegas Strip Trolley is a cheap way to get up and down the length of the strip.  Mandalay Bay Hotel in all its shining glory.  One of the most famous welcome signs in the world.  Famous laughing cowboy sign on Freemont Street  Bellagio Hotels famous water fountains - very impressive to watch and every show is different throughout the day.  Taken from the entrance of a golf course just down past Mandalay Bay Hotel.  Mirage Hotel  I nearly killed myself taking this picture!! To the left of this cave was a chasm ripped out by a earthquake. I went around the back of this great rock trying to find an easier way to get to a good position to take the shot and ended up having to press myself against the side of the rockface and edge along a narrow strip hovering above the chasm. You can just about see the narrow edge I mean by the bottom of the mouth of the cave.  MGM Lion outside the Hotel.  Another shot of the welcome sign.  A ghostly rock. Spooky. Well that should give you a taste of Vegas. I'll put my next set of photographs in a second thread so this doesn't get too image heavy. You can check out my Florida Disney shots in there soon. |

Excellent, buddy!Nice and crisp, like photos ought to be! Meh, not all the time. Take a look at some of Colin Prior's stuff, he uses slow shutter speeds on things like rivers, clouds and stars and get some very interesting effects which juxtapose the surrounds the are set in. |
