Old Philosopher:
I put this thread here because it's a "general" topic in my mind.
I know there are a lot of members who have an interest in photography, and take pictures not specific to outings, or trips. I've seen some really nice scenic shots, and a few "artsy" pictures.
I thought it might be nice to have a place to share the hobby.
The other thing that prompted me to post is that I just fell heir to a new camera! All this time I've been using a Sony Cybershot with very limited settings, and a 3x zoom.
A couple weeks ago I was given an Olympus 720SW, with a dead battery and no cables. I let my fingers do the walking through cyberspace, and found a battery charger and USB cable on Amazon for $1.28 for both!!! Another $6.00 S/H and I was good to go for under $10. So far everything is working as advertised.
The excitement comes from the camera specs. It's shockproof up to a 5 foot drop on concrete, and will take underwater photos down to 10 feet. No need to worry about taking pictures in the rain, or getting it dunked on a canoe trip, eh? It has a macro capability down to 2.7". The really exciting part is that it has a 15x zoom, vs. the 3x on the old Sony, and "image stabilization". I'm really looking forward to getting some better wildlife shots with it!
So without babbling further, here's a couple test shots from yesterday.
So how about it? Got any purdy piktures to share? Like I say, I would love to see some b/w or artsy stuff.

My most recent favorite, my youngest daughter slaying some pike.
Looks like shes posing as some kind of mythical beast vanquisher, there's even sunlight glinting off her reel! Gung-Fish-Fu for the win!

I put some scenery shots up in the Canadian sub forum. (Here, if you missed it and are interested: http://bladesandbushcraft.com/index.php/topic,1844.0.html ).
But here's another:

Good idea, OP. And some nice pictures so far. :D
I'll see if I can find some of my favorites in my photobucket account...
