I've been working on my Photobucket album at: Open Original Shared Link

(You have to click on the sub album name to see the pictures in that album)

I've added some pictures, plus created multiple sub albums: Flowers, Wildlife, Sunsets/Landscapes, Night Photos, People. I'd be interested in which category you like the best, which picture in that category you like the most and why.

Just in case there are any bored people out there. j

I'd say I like the macros, and unique angles the most. The wildlife ones are... too close to ordinary. But those are *tough* to get anything else.

I'd encourage you to toy with not centering your subjects. It struck me that the pictures all were similar in some way, and one of those ways is that the subject is all center in the frame, or very nearly. That 'standard' gets... dull, and many photo instructors encourage their students from getting away from it. A lot of those pictures would gain a lot from a cropping that moves them away from being 50/50 weighted horizontally and vertically.

Right...you have to understand that what you are seeing are huge 3888 x 2592 images that

I've quickly scaled down to 640x480 to place on the web. These images could be cropped

numerous ways for effect... The crispness of these images also suffers a bit during the

resizing process. Having said that, yes, not centering is something I could be better at, but

I always know, when I'm taking an image, that I can crop it later if I like. I keep my

best images in "RAW" format so that I don't risk any degradation from processing them multiple times...

I know. :) And I only say it as constructive criticism, since I know that you're very good and can get even better. Composition is always a challenge, and cropping can take ages - at least it's faster on the computer than in the darkroom. (I can't tell you how many hours I spent in the darkroom trying to crop images to the proper composition.) I know the rub - you don't want to alter what you captured, but you still have to present your best foot forward.

Once you go to put them up on the web, for your electronic portfolio, as it were, that 640x480 is all that's going to matter, and there's plenty of room for cropping from a 7mp pic down to that. :) Just modify from copies, rather than the original, and you'll always have your pristine copy to work from, and you can crop to your heart's content. :)

Heh... the fun one is having two or three competing (in your mind) compositions for the same subject and really not being able to decide between them. Sigh.

My current 'exercise' is better identifying unusual and interesting subjects - not just the generic every day things, which sometimes just means finding dramatically different angles. It's fun, but gets dirty when you lie down in the middle of the street on your stomach. :P

I am intresting in the nature and the beach with white sand. Especially to frame them, the colors are so vivid. My wife and kids love to see these kind of pictures around the house.

My wife says that I keep taking pictures of the same stuff. I tell her, take me somewhere new and I'll take pictures of it:)

I like to take pictures when I go out running. I carry an itty bitty pocket point and shoot camera.

new link? that one appears to be broken. (perhaps photobucket has a limit on how many pictures you can see without registering?)

Oops, I posted a faulty link..my bad...Hopefully this will work.

I use a Canon SD630 PowerShot when I go running. It's got a decent macro function. Not a substitute for a DSLR and Macro lens...but you can carry it running:)

Excellent, I like it. What is the resolution or the magnification of your camera.

WOW..... YOUR PHOTOS ARE FANTASTIC. what kind of camera do you have? I have both a digital and a 35M but my photos can not even begin to compare with yours!!!!

Thank you. Most of these are shot with a point and shoot Canon SD400. It's alright, but mostly it's small enough for hiking. :) The rest are shot with a Nikon D70 DSLR. Both are 5mp cameras. (It's not the size of the sensor; it's how you use it. :lol: )

Really, it's a matter of practice and instruction on the subject. And lots and lots of practice. In the 11 months, I have taken nearly 5000 pictures. I started doing photography nearly 20 years ago. (Yes, before I was 10.) These days, I'd say about 15-20% of what I take, and it's only that high because half the time I'm documenting some event that's occurring. :)

I think I took it with my a small point and shoot on "timer mode" at the beach after running.

Honestly can't remember I have so many photo's.

You inspired me to bring my camera on a walk to the store (to get shampoo!) and take pictures. Turned my 15 minute walk into a ~70 minute walk. :)

(For reference, this is 36 out of the 140 pictures I took. Some whole subject groups didn't come out at all - especially the bees. :( And a nearly great one of a yellow jacket.)

Okay, I've really got to get into the digital age. I love taking photos, but my Canon is an SLR film camera. You guys are having too much fun.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
