Taken in the Arcata Community Forrest in Humboldt County, Northern California. This was my first day with my new digital camera. No UV filters or digital manipulation



This one was taken off the coast of Vietnam while I was sailing from Korea to Singapore. I took about 50 shots and this one was the best. Shutter speed and apperature set manual, UV Filter mounted. Auto-Color Correction done via Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. (Note: auto color correction and not manual manipulation was used to bring out the colors)



While driving around San Francisco, we stopped off near the Golden Gate bridge to take some photos. Of course it was a bit too foggy to get anything good, however while walking back to the car I saw these flowers covered in bumble bees. Photo taken using built-in Macro mode, no digital manipulation. This was the picture that made me a believer in Digital Cameras... the colors were just so stunning.
