Down by the river

I have not ever been much of a photographer, but after a weekend outside Atlanta with family...  

My brother in law let me test his super cool fancy camera around a local river.  Here are some of the shots:













The reflection in this next one caught my eye.








This one is not quite in focus - user error - but it is still one of my favorite.  This tree stump has been through some rough times.







This is back at brother in laws house as the sun is about to set.  One of the sun rays still made its way to this limb.




This is Tony.  Tony does NOT like his picture taken.  I had just missed him showing me his teeth. 







This is Tony looking over his kingdom from the balcony.





Anyhoo...thinking about getting a camera now.

Beautiful pictures! Tony is adorable (I'm a cat person). The tree stump photo was perfect. I couldn't tell it wasn't in focus. You did very well for a novice.

mrsrkfj - thank you, it was quite entertaining. I am hoping to give it a whirl again soon.

Great job! I wish I had been into photography when I was down that way. I guess we all need a catalyst.
A little advice...Go out and get you a point and shoot camera first and see where your interests go from there. All the bells and whistles can be overwhelming at first.

bettyl - thanks! We have so many wonderful sites around ... might as well take a photo for others to enjoy.

Mary B. - ;) I get all my talent from my mom.

Kipp, In clarity and style, it looks like National Geographic photos. Have you tried using the camera on your cellphone yet?

As for not capturing the cat's teeth in the photo, he probably wanted to whiten them first.

Not too bad. You have a good eye for framing a photo. The reflection, tree stump, and Tony are extremely nice. I agree with bettyl. Getting more of a camera than you can handle will most likely see you never using it, so do a little research and experiment with one without too many whistles and bells.

Beezlebug - thank you. He thinks he is royalty for sure.

Donna - LOL...my cell phone is an antique.
Which reminds of a idea for a post.
(LOL on the teeth joke)

Clipped - thanks! It was fun to look around and see things from a new perspective.

Nice pictures, except for that Cat. I you need any assistance with picture editing, my 12 year old daughter have become very proficient and could provide some tips.

Westsox - well Tony did not appear to want his picture made which made it all the more fun to take it...:) Amazing what the youngsters can do these days.
