Inside the tunnel at the bottom of it heading west. I thought that this would be a neat picture if it came out well. This was the best of the set. I did get some interesting effects while i was in the car trying this. Our speed was 55mph. I shot this photo in the "Action" program.

This was taken in Midlothian Virginia where i used to live.


I used a Black Flash mode with Apature Priority to take this photo. I turned out very clear and if you look, you will see a rain drop on one of the petals. I also used the Cloudy weather setting. The flash did not wash out the flower like happens a lot when you do a macro.

Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)

She will be on her way to live with me starting this December.

This is a wonderful shot of our cat sitting where she is not supposed to. She likes to climb and get on high places. I think that it was well framed and love the lighting and contrast. She is very photogenic and i wonder if she does not pose for me sometimes. When i start taking photos of her, it looks like she knows what i am doing...
