Have to look to see where the reflection actually begins.
Where is that? Very pretty area. |

I know some more wonderful, awe inspiring photos are to come. As is the usual. We have a great bunch of photographers.
I'm just nervous. Trying something new and all that. Thanks, Mira! Your words mean a lot to me. |

I used my iPhone and kinda had to keep jamming on the button (getting multiple shots), while keeping the thing still in about 3 seconds. I'm surprised there's any composition to it at all.

I'm actually surprised at how well an iPhone can do. I've tried shots like that with my p&s but it wants to focus on the window and not what's outside it. I'll give it a go with my Nikon one day.

One sorta dark and twisty , one bucolic, and one that gives me the feeling of time rushing by.

I'm sitting this one out. I'm still trying to figure out my camera. Today is not so bitterly cold, so I may go for a long walk and practice.

if you don't enter, which I hope you will re-consider, at least post a first photo with the new camera.
All I saw was reflections this past week. It's funny how our eye gets honed when we have an assignment. |

unfortunately, there wasn't a USB cable with my camera as there should've been. And I've been up to my eyeballs grading, so I haven't had a chance to go get one.
Hopefully this weekend! |

Awesome photos Y'all! Seriously! They are all really great! I'm still trying to decide for sure if I want that one or the one I posted before. I've never submitted to any photo contest before so this is quite fun! Good luck all! I'm glad I don't have to decide.
