Yeah, I'm not afraid of heights but some times I get a little light headed when I look down and have to take a deep breath and regain my composure. That was taken at the Natural Tunnel.

Thanks Wayne. I still need to work on my pan shots to get steadier though.

Went out today and found this barn just sitting out in a field all by itself so I took a couple of shot of it.

Thanks GG! I stayed in the Jeep cause it was poring rain and managed to get part of the rear view mirror in it so I had to crop it.

OK Lucky, this is more than one photo! Are you happy now? Spent some time busting my a$$ today to get some of these but I made out ok. NO snake, bug, or spider bites. Please let me know what I need to do to improve. Thank you in advance.

Excellent waterfall shots and you got a critter too!

I looked back and forth, and really couldn't decide on which one I like best, they're all great shots! I noticed you used a higher shutter speed, and it did a good job stopping the motion of the cascading water.

Here's something you can try next time you're at the waterfalls: A friend of mine likes to set the shutter a little bit slower on some shots, so as to "feather" the white water. Expiriment and see what you come up with!

Outstanding job, though!

Aaron, you need to go to some of the civil war battlefields and take some shots for us!

Nice shots. I like old barn photos. Have you tried slowing down the shutter speed on water falls yet.

I've tried both ways and am fond of the effect of the medium shutter speed, you get just a little splash detail but still get the moving water sensation. I like all of the effects but this one really surprised me.

Another idea!!! Now I need to find a map of all the battle fields around here. OH well. Syscom, I grew up on a farm that was a Confederate camp during the Civil War. I have a couple of quart jars full of spent bullets. My dad found a bayonet at the edge of one of the fields and we found quite a few jacket buttons. I love the idea to, thank you.
