Great! Thanks so much. The concert hall photo is actually straight from the camera, and I see a spec of sensor dust I need to get rid of. I took a ridiculous number of shots of that building, and I haven't processed most of the RAW files yet. We drove downtown JUST so I could see and photograph it. It's amazing! It was actually quite bright out, and I have photos that are a more accurate representation of what we saw, but I love the highlights and shadows on that one. It makes it seem really surreal to me. Thanks again for letting me know the photos weren't showing up!

Love this thread! There are some really amazing photos here! I've been away for a while, and as I searched for my top 12 pics of '08, I figured out why. We did SO MUCH last year! We've traveled a LOT! It was a very busy year for us. I'm telling you now, I went over 12. There were a couple "ties" I just couldn't break. Sorry! Anyway, here goes...


Our kitty Oliver on Christmas!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the cat photo!!!! Did I say I LOOOOVE it!!?!?!

First, everyone must have a better camera than me. Second- I know my photos stink and third. I just leared to recolor. I take photos with a DXG 5.0 megapixel camera. Hope these dont make me look too bad at my hobby

My first (and favorite) retouched photo. ( I missed a lizzrd toe)

My second retouch photo (neither of these were taken in 08 but were edited in 08)

Christmas display in town

Love makes the world go round.

My sisters, and there two freinds on the coldest day of the year.

My favorite disney photo (taken with a portable tripod)

did you draw in the lizard or just color it? the shadow makes it look realistic but i'd hate to have that thing crawling up my back

Wow! That's a lot of love. Thanks!

Thanks so much! It was actually shot through glass too. Sometimes just everything works out.

I loved the yard furniture quote. It made my laugh. The animals are super cute too!

My favorite shot I took of Illuminations.

This photo is beautiful--it's got the best colors of any that I have seen posted on this board. Would you mind providing the EXIF?? We'll be headed to WDW later this year and it would probably make my trip to get fireworks shots like these.

If you click the image it'll take you to the Flickr page, where you can access the EXIF data by clicking "More properties" on the bottom right.

Off the top of my head, I think it's 25 seconds, f/22, ISO 200.

For the record, I did go to your Flickr page afterwards and you have some great shots. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to test out the "ghost" technique at HM while we are there in December (running out of the photo). Definitely more creative than I could come up with on my own.

AND--I also read your engagement story while I was at it--so great and fantastic photos again, I don't think most of us have photos from our proposals (at least I don't) and I know that's something you'll appreciate having when you are older and have been married for years.
