Hey, nice thread. :)

I have been a hobby photographer for about 10 years now. My favourite subject is nature. I'm an avid nature lover.
These pictures below might show that:

cpf01.jpg

One of my favorite pictures of flowers.

cpf02.jpg

Big dragonfly that didn't fly off at my first movement.

cpf03.jpg

Newborn goat.

cpf04.jpg

Spring captured in a picture. Soon to be featured again in the Northern Hemisphere. ;)

cpf05.jpg

This kangaroo was taking a nap in the spring sun.


Sometimes people can be nice subjects too:

cpf06.jpg

Dancing African masks.

cpf07.jpg

Medieval leatherworker.

cpf08.jpg

Lady in a beautiful medieval dress.

cpf09.jpg

Staring out across the sea...

This last picture might not be that special, but the lady is... At least to me. ;)

cpf10.jpg

My grandmother at her 100th birthday.

She's still healthy. Only her hearing got worse the last years, her mind is still clear.
She still loves to take a walk in the sun.

I'm 45 years old, and still have a grandmother. :)

No offense about those ants vs. wasp pictures here, but amazement. WoW!

I can only dream of having a macro setup like that. It's way too expensive for me...

I am nothing but an amateur photographer with a cell phone and no money... But here is some of what I have.

Thanks, I saw this while out in the garden. Couldnt believe that these ants were actually dragging this wasp around ! Trying to capture the world through the macro lens can be very frustrating at times but rewarding when it goes to plan

This is by no means any kind of example of the quality of my photo skills... but it's still one of the coolest photos I've ever taken!

Shaq - in the same restaurant as my husbnd and I on St. Patrick's Day (yesterday) in Las Vegas! :grin2:

I rescued this little guy from a co workers desk. We were trying to figure out how it got there since we are on the 5th floor and at least 150 feet from the nearest door/elevator. I brought him home and let him go in my yard, snapping a few pics while he was checking out the new digs. He was only about 1/4 inch total length.

Aww, he's kinda adorable. (Then again I'd likely feel differently if he was bigger.)

Has anyone here used any image stacking software? Macro Photography has a very shallow depth of field. Image stacking allows multiple pictures to be stacked creating a picture that has a lot more in focus. This would have to be done with stationary subjects as multiple pictures of the subject have to be taken.
