Seeing as this is my first contribution to this thread I'll give a little background of myself... I've always sort of enjoyed photography but have never really put forth the effort (or money) to get serious about it. This christmas I got a cool little digital camera and I've been messing around with it mostly on trips and vacations ever since.
Here are some of my favorite pictures taken all over the place
Crane
Flowers
Branches
Fireworks
Dogs
Smoke
enjoy! (and critique if you want... I'd appreciate it!)
