<div class="IPBDescription">dad's dig cam</div> The digital camera is a fuji finepix..It is automatic and not manual, so that means all the apperture and shutter speeds are automatic, which I don't get, because digital cameras aren't mechanically sophisticated as mechanical cameras...I didn't have a tripod so..bleh...

Anyways here are some pics for your boredom and enjoyment.

Yes, the rocky moutains...Gota love them, because they are so majestic and powerful. Here is a pic of a waterfall, dark conditions, so these pics aren't properly lighted. BTW, I only go out of the city to the mountains like once every 1 or 2 years.

Note the baseline and how it isn't filled with water at the time being.

Picture of the sun when it was red. The red isn't very visible in the picture, because it was to bright to be properly shown. There was also a big forest fire nearby in Banff.

Some lightning pictures I took. A lightning storm hit nearby and there was lightning every second...It was so cool that I thought I go out nearby in the ravine and take pictures with a tripod, camera, shutter cable, and of course, an umbrella!
I stood out there for 2 hours and watched plus took 2 rolls of ISO 100 film with only 7 pics to show. The shutter speed was set to B and I took 30 sec plus exposures of the lightning at f/5.6 - 8. There is a lot of overexposure on these pics, but it is really hard to get lightning properly since it is so bright.

Sorry for the terrible res pic, I don't have a scanner.

My camera:
It is a beast, Nikon F2, one of the best made mechanical cameras ever.

If I ever get a scanner, I will post some really nice pics I took with film, and of course I am only 16, so bleh. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I thought I should share some pics to relieve some of the boredom of you people. I find pic posts a lot more interesting at times than posts that contain only words.

    Ive made pictures of my vacation too (with a jvc mini dvcam, u can put 1.33 megapixel photos on the memorystick, and a lot of them aswell)

    I went backpacking to Syria, Jordan, Libanon and Israel. Ill post some pics one time becuz those countries really are beautiful and very fun to visit ( no danger and no axis of evil nonsense )

    [edit] btw, wich country is that? my first thought was america cuz its an american forum <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> [/edit]

    It's such a shame those pix weren't done on a standard film camera. Whilst digicams are great and all, you just don't get the clarity and vibrance of colour that you do with actual film. The photos are great, just the pale (edit: pun not intended) in comparison to what could have been done. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My friends and I went hiking up to the Cascades at school when it was all frozen over, it was gorgeous! Nature is an amazing thing. I was really impressed when I saw the pictures from that trip. I don't know how to post more then one picture on a post, so I'll do a few. This was one of the smaller waterfalls about half way there.

    This is my personal favorite <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We did some climbing, to go on top of the waterfall, it was off limits but that didn't stop us <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. Yay for slippery footing on a steep slope, but we all made it out in one piece, with beautiful pictures. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> This is what was waiting for us up there, how pretty is that?

    This one isn't quite as beautiful but it was the hardest shot to get, so I feel the need to add this one too. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> This is inside the falls, we had to do some scarry climbing to get here. The ledge was only about 2 inches wide to get behind the falls, so I didn't go under it, but I got pretty close.

    Aw poor guy <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> Take a trip to the mountains. I love my school, there are some incredibly scenic places to oogle over. Here's another gorgeous mini-waterfall we found along the way.

    I have a whole bunch of other really pretty ones, if you're interested let me know and I'll post more, for now I hope you enjoy these, I was rather amazed by them.

    BTW kida I love that 2nd picture on your initial post, wow, just wow. I also love those pictures of the mountains in your second group of pictures, were they taken from a plane, or do you know?

    Do you guys think this is a spam topic? Anyways, to make things less spammy, hehe, where in all places of the world would you people want to go to and why?

    I would like to go to Greece, Italy, or South America and Mongolia. Greece and Italy, because I have always been interested in old-ancient stuff. Mongolia and South America, because I just want to, well maybe not that, but yeah.

    omg Kida, another beautiful mt. pic. Mine were take down in south western Virginia, a little outside of Blacksburg where I goto school. Since I'm posting might as well through in another one.

    and to answer your question kida... the water was frozen solid, I didn't post any of the actual huge waterfall at the end of the trail because it has pictures of me in it >.<, we were all walking around right in front of the frozen solid waterfall. It was really neat!

    Here's another one... it's a small little frozen brook and those were some tree limbs that we may or may not have been climbing on... p.s. if my pictures are getting annoying just say cool it, I won't post anymore.

    Yeah about 10 minutes away. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> I love this school because it's in the mountains (beautiful scenery), so it's kind of secluded, and very peacful, but it's also got a little college town atmosphere. We have our own secluded little community down here, with a mall, movie theatre, and everything. It's also in the country so there are a lot of farms, horses, and other livestock. (I love animals especially horses) It's basically the ideal place to live. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> We even get people that come down and give concerts on campus, Dave Schapel (however you spell that) came also, so we have a lot of stuff like that that happens. Good times! Anyway....

    Ok this is the thing everytime I say something I'll just add another picture...

    This next one was taken from on top of the big falls looking down, nice drop there. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> It was a much better view then this picture shows, but I think you can at least get the feel, it was so cool. The people in the pic are actually standing on the frozen water. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> A good height up too, very slick. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
