This model ship was in a glass case. The original photo looked pretty bad, but with some PP work and quite heavy cloning work to get rid of the reflections and casing, I cam up with this.
Turned out great
San Diego Zoo - Baby Gorilla
Took a day trip to San Diego to go to the zoo and of course my D60 came along... Please keep in mind I am on the extreme of being a n00b.
Anyways, this is my favorite one of the day. I have no idea what this little guy actually is... C&C always welcome, of course.

late take off
Been surfing hurricanes, I hope my fellow MR members haven't had to suffer wave withdrawals on my account...
Captured seconds before the pounding began-
East coast swell from late Hanna / early Ike last Saturday, before Ike headed off to Texas where the real pounding occurred.
Texas can blame me; I pray for surf.
Taken with L1, 50-200 SWD + EC-14.
ISO 100
1/1000 sec.
f/5.6
280mm

It's a good thread this and contains some fantastic pictures ....I'll refrain from quoting all that I like as this would be an enormous post if I did . However the thread is slightly unfair in some respects.....
.....what about those of us who take real pictures ??
Before anyone jumps all over this comment , I mean photo's taken without editing done , on a non DSLR with a fancy lens etc etc etc ... you know what I'm talking about....
....yes , I do feel all inadequate with my little Canon Ixus 55
.... what about a thread for those of us with compacts and no Photoshop/editing software ?
thoughts ?

Sounds a little contradictory to me.
There's a wide range of equipment and abilities on this thread already, and nobody gets criticised for having 'only' a P&S. Hell, a P&S is fine... as long as you point it at something interesting...

True , don't mind me , I'm just wanting a newer camera !
....cant even change any of the settings on mine as the view screen has broken .....although I did manage to get the setting to a reasonable level by guessing the menu ...took me an age !( I fell when climbing , it was in my pocket)

A better camera doesn't always make a better photographer.
It's less about what equipment you use and more about how you use it, and that's why I think it's nice to see a thread like this showing the wide range of equipment and photographic ability.
You just dont like diversity
And PS: That spider picture I posted a couple posts up has had no post processing done to it.
True .
I just like to try & see things from a different perspective so that is why I take pictures ... that's what I try and do when taking shots anyway
...I'd just like to be able to take pics at a level I wouldn't mind hanging on my wall & feel the camera I have is holding me back a little ...no possibility to change menu setting efficiently ....the lens doesn't seem to capture the light , colours etc as I'd seen it in the shot ...just would like some more control over a shot ...that's what I was thinking ....look , I've put up three pics in this thread I think are ok but the shots taken with a 'better ' camera would have had more detail etc ...thoughts ?

I live for diversity ...it keeps me going

Do you live on the E line? I work right up the street from there. In fact this would be the view from the roof of where I work:
First HDR
This is my first HDR attempt. Taken this morning after driving through some country roads for awhile. I didn't intend to shoot for HDR but every single one of my other shots this morning were underexposed and/or blurry. Have a TON of learning to do!
