A few from today's Sunday motorcycle cruise. Just eating noodles at Muriwai Beach. Wasn't planning to take photos but then, the itch was there. No post processing, no photoshopping, no cropping, just loaded to NX2.3.1.
Hey thanks dude - but those were quickly shot anyhoo... I have given more priority on my noodles rather than taking photos. Great shots from everyone on these forum!
One more from Lilypons. Even though the D5100 does not get much love on FM, it has been a great first DSLR for me. The tree below was woefully underexposed, but I was able to salvage plenty of clean detail in the bark. Tamron 60mm macro.

ReyGay, lovely pictures. The last few rays of summer huh?
I think you have more than a passion for picture taking as it's clear you can see the beauty in the world around us.
Thanks.
No not yet . Altho a few leaves are falling, it's still warm at daytime.
Hmmm, about taking nice photos... I would like to simplify this to other people. Aside from knowing the basic rules of composition, the rest is all about inspiration - what makes you happy in life and what keeps you going to enjoy our temporal existence. Many photographers get pressured to take nice photos either to impress themselves or others but this is where the problems is, since if we lose that drive to impress other eyes, what do you have left? When I take photos, I'm in my happy and excited mood - when I'm not, I don't take photos.
Just capture what you see and when your looking thru the viewfinder, smile behind the camera - and everything somehow will flow along and the players on the viewfinder move as if they were directed by you. Nature works in a way that if your happy and mentally at peace, you become a magnet for taking nice photos. Hope that helps for all of you who read this.

So being happy induces talent??
Gosh Rey. I wish it were so simple
You obviously have a natural eye for comp and beauty and the results are what you post.
there is something about your posts that keep me coming back to study them in the hope that some of your ability might be absorbed The second one with shadow on umbrella. so what made you focus on the grass in the foreground, rather than the subject?? That to me is verging on genius
Cheers
