Is anyone into photography? I'm kind of a novice and I still have no idea what all the little buttons are on my camera, but I enjoy taking pictures. Does anyone have any to share, or tips for the beginner photographer?

I'll go ahead and post a few of my own favorites. Smile

I am not a photographer, but I appreciate photography as an artform. Those are amazing pictures! Great
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I used to do it on a completely amateur level, with a disposable camera, when I lived in Pennsylvania from 00-09, but have since dropped it here in San Diego. Not sure why.

However, my mother has passed on an old camera for my trip to St. Maarten on the 21st. I'm sort of curious to give it a go again, but I miss the beauty of the Mid-Atlantic.

We shall see.

Such wonderful photos!
I have a fancy pants Compact System Camera which I have yet to take out and really use. I've always been interested in photography, but I've never really had a proper camera to go around taking photos with. My camera came with free Photoshop Lightroom, which I might use if the old PC I have still works after years of not being used.

Great idea for a thread!

These seem professional to me. Are you a ringer?

Love the detail and the subject matter. All the birds are wonderful but the first would be my favorite.

Here is an image of the nearly full Moon I took last night at the Louisville Astronomical Society Observatory. I used the club's 142mm f7.5 Astrophysics refractor, and myHutech modified Canon T1i at 1/500sec.

Enjoy:

-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

These are some of the ones others have liked best on flickr.

But most of my best photos are of my own garden. As you might guess I like daring the sunlight to spoil my photos. A few and I think the best just barely escape.

My favorite is the bubble in the foreground of the sky.
