Outdoor Photography
I’ve been out and about - and I managed to immortalize some of my sightings. I initially planned to published this at the end of this week, but I have some interesting pictures I can’t wait to show here. I came across a peculiar (well, to me at least) tree with interesting thorns:

Not much could be done to the exposure settings, hence the high contrast. I appreciate tips and suggestions on how to improve macro shots with a compact camera (FX01 in my case). In case you haven’t already known, yours truly is a photography n00b. I managed to capture a few less-peculiar, thorny plants too:





Cactuses! The Canon EOS 350D belonged to a friend. It was addictive, to say the least. One of those DSLRs costs about 5 times my Panasonic Lumix FX01. Its superiority was unquestionable. The last pic above looks like a male’s sexual anatomy, according to a friend. Well I don’t blame her. (Yep, it was a ‘her’ who said that.)
Here are some more shots taken with the camera:




And as for the pic above, the pink little flowers clearly stood out because there weren’t any other flowers around them.
I want a Canon EOS 350 :(.

I like the little flower that stands out. And, I think, the plural of cactus is cacti… I have some of my photos here > http://www.flickr.com/photos/80385244@N00/
Wow you use anything from Pentax, to Casio, to Nokia N90 and Nikon! I love the F1 shots.
Yeah the plural of cactus can be accepted as cacti too. Even ‘cactus’ as well. Just like the plural of ‘fish’ can be accepted as ‘fishes’ or ‘fish’.
Thanks for dropping by!
