Took a few today, walking back from school:

Leaves! Yellow leaves!

A pretty bare tree:

I thought the water tower picture looked spiffy?:

I never stopped to take any of the pictures, just took them as I was walking.

Wow!
Was it taken from a regular camera? Or was there special equipment?
If there was no extra equipment then you friend was really lucky! Awesome picture!

No it wasnt from just a regular camera. He pursues photography, and i dont know with what exactly he took it with (he has a collection of cameras) but its some kind of high speed camera that takes multiple shots per second.

He likes taking pictures of storms and stuff, and usually sends them in to news channels for fun, so most of the time they are on the morning news

Nice lightning bolt. Hard to get those, I think I'll try next summer if we ever get another huge storm.

I'll post this one because it was a miracle I managed to get it at all. During the summer I returned to my term-time city of Plymouth to see the Class 1 Powerboat Championships, and had a 4.1MP camera with a non-existent zoom, and a decent pair of binoculars. Well I tried an experiment to get a far out shot of the boats, by holding a single binocular cup up in front of the camera lens, relying on guess work for the focus and a tiny LCD screen in full sunlight (the viewfinder wouldn't give a true idea of what I was aiming at). Anyway, this was the result at about 2 miles out.

And this was probably the most 'artistic' shot I took that weekend.

thats a nice shot...and i've thought about doing that many times with binoculars but figured it would never work now i know it does thanks for that...and that boat looks like an RC boat
