A lightning shot from this past September, and a detail from that shot. I focused the camera to infinity and had mounted in the shoe a lightning detector built by a friend of mine. It has a 2 micro-second response time. You tune it for the ambient lighting conditions and once it detects a change in light intensity, it triggers the shutter.

Ok, I see that you can embed a photo using the regular editor, or if you use the full editor, you can attach a thumbnail. If you click on the thumbnail, it displays the image full-size. The embedded image stays the size that it displays as in the message. Good to know.

Very nice!!! I got a Canon Rebel T3 last year for Christmas, mainly for band/football with my son, but I've taken a few shots.  Not very good at it yet :)

Took these in my front yard last year. I heard a bunch of pissed off crows buzzing around the redwood trees in my yard and saw this guy just before he flew away.

I would so love to see some shots through your scope.

Some nice shots there guys,i always take my point and shoot with me when i go walking in the British countryside,even if its just for a keep sake.though i would like to splash out on a decent DSLR and have a go at learning the finer details of photography.

 

Here is a few shots of mine while out and about roaming the hills

 

 

 

This 1 is up in the Lake District with Englands highest peak on the right covered in cloud

 

54a17dbfc7b63_DSCN0752.jpg

 

 

 

This is Ingleborough,the second highest peak in the Yorkshire Dales National park.One of the peaks of the 3 peak challenge which is 24.5 miles to be done in under 12 hours.

 

54a17ea410cf0_Ingleboroughfromribbleline

 

 

These 2,both the same picture only one has a clour shift effect added are of another of the peaks in the 3 peak challenge called Pen-y-Ghent

 

54a18038a84ea_penygent_gate.jpg

54a180c66cce3_penygent_bw.jpg

 

 

This one is of a stone monument built to comemorate the the defeat of Napoleon, managed to capture the sun in just the right place to give a halo effect.

 

54a181dd0f56b_DSCN0284.jpg

 

 

And this last 1 is of my home town,Hudderfield taken yesterday in the snow with Emly Moor T.V mast in the distance,the tallest free standing structure in the U.K.
