its all in the trip pod and manual mode. i was surprised this was what the pictures ended up like since i did nothing to them (no editing program of any sort) im being taught right now. angles, shutter speed, aperture. you have to have sooo much patients hahahaha

[amelia]

oh i know!
i do macro, remember!
that's got me climbing on the ground looking like a freak taking pictures of bugs'n'shit.
i've gone with thebobman when he's doing hdr, i understand patience!
lol

some of those old flower macro shots that are some of my best, were done with a 5 mpx polaroid that required AA batteries!

[t-skywalker]

^^hahaha yeah same AA giggle

i have 3 cameras but im looking into a new one since i have 450 gift card at best buy (ill pay the difference) not sure what to get i was told Canon Rebel

[amelia]

the canon rebel is what i use, pretty nice for an entry level camera.
if you want more info ask thebobman, he's my mentor.
<3 you kieran!

awesome pics amelia! ALMOST makes me miss the North. lol

[amelia]

thanks erik!
we've postponed our departure to the bay till tomorrow morning due to lorne and michelle (the people who own the lori lynn) being a lil hung over from our night out last night.
i'll have more after that.
i gotta show you something remotely, it's hilarous.

our boat anchored up in san diego bay

trappers transplanted foxes onto this tiny island and built a cabin here to 'farm' fox fur. two problems brought this idea down; the lack of a fresh water source on the rock and, well, the winds here blew the cabin away, the only thing left is the support posts in the ground.

the view we had from our boat in san diego bay.

the end of my street

[amelia]

i miss trees.
i didn't realize that this place doesn't naturally have evergreen trees when i decided to come here.
those photos aren't of where i live, they were taken 3 hours across the gulf on the mainland where our fishing sites are.

[mapleleaf4ever]

lol yeah... the treeline is higher on the western side of the arctic.

[amelia]

yeah it's weird.
in a land without trees.....
