Wow! Your camera did that? That's impressive.

[copykween]

Yep! Well, the 300mm zoom REALLY helped. :)

Glad you liked!

Wow, those pics are great. *iz impressed*

[copykween]

Thanks!

And, hey, NO SMITING!!

Hmm, on second thought....

Sadly, you may be disappointed as nothing bad came to mind.

Although, that's not saying I couldn't do something if I tried. ;)

Holy cr*ap, girl, those are *great*! My shots were...truly pitiful. *laughing* I gave it a try, but finally had to call my brother--"I don't care *how* cold it is, just drag your sorry bu*tt out there & get some good shots, dang it!"

Do you mind if I link people back here tomorrow to see your post?

*nibbles on your icon* GUH!

Thank you! I actually had some trouble at first....had to change this and that a billon times till I finally got good shots. In order to get the orange-red tones, the white uncovered part was way overexposed and halo-y.

Huh...(while typing this) I'm watching CNN and they showed pics
that some random person sent in. I should totally have done that! God I'm a dork.

ETA: OH, Sure....link away! I'm totally flattered!

*face-palm* You soooo should have sent em' in. Rats! Next time, luvie. Any comets scheduled in the near future? Disintegrating spy satellites? *winks*

I took photos at a hockey game last night (just for fun) & I found myself thinking, 'What would copykween do?' I'm still boggling over your Zoom-Fu of the Clinton shots. ;)

[copykween]

I went ahead and sent it in to that iReporter thing. Sometimes they'll use it, sometimes not. But at least other ppl can look at them, too.

Now I know...if I capture anything newsworthy, I can send it in ASAP. :)

LOL @ WWCKD. Belive me, there is a LOT of trial and error on my end. I just delete those suckers lol.

Gorgeous shots. The weird things are Brainiac, no need to worry.

[copykween]

Ohh, Brainy! Yis, I like this theory.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Aww, sorry your pics didn't turn out. Night shots can take some getting used to. Did you use a tripod? If the camera moves at all in a night settings (which probably decreases the shutter speed) you'll get all sorts of blur and shaking. Even pressing the button to take the pics will cause it to shake, so you can try using a timer, so nothing is actually touching the camera when the shutter is open.
