Agreed! Wonderful stuff from everyone.

If I may be so bold as to ‘tweak’ my original post to suggest that realism and nature photographs go to Ice’s thread and this thread be feature more abstract and/or documentary type of photography.

uummm :(

Why uummmmm ? (Please PM me if we need to talk...)

It was B&W mode, 1600 ISO pushed to 3200, noise reduction off, saturation and contrast to maximum, then cropped and tweaked in Elements 5.

Thanks for the info Kenzie. I have no idea what the ISO does and couldn't tell you what value it is on my photos - but I soon will ;) I've been using Paint Shop Pro to reduce and crop my photos, but haven't tried enhancing just yet.

@ FH thanks again for the cool click-the-pic-trick ;)

The most difficult part was getting them to ignore the crazy local girl with her new camera…

Did a good job of it Kenzie. Perhaps they already know crazy local grrl!

Dumb blond question.... how does crazy local grrl get thumbnails to show up like that. I like that!!

Here's a photo of an old 'museum' type railroad station, and also one of the steam trains that we went on, with it's engine well stoked.

Now this is what I had in mind, guys!

Sunsets, old train stations and the era of steam. Wonderful pictures.

OK, not so much artistic as interesting.
I came across this little fellow crossing the road in a Scottsdale, Arizona residential area this June.
This was the first Gila Monster I had seen in the wild for almost 4 decades.
The critter took almost 10 minutes to lumber safely out of the street while I directed traffic around it.
After a short pause for a photograph, the beastie continued out into the desert.
