    Post your favorite shot of the moment. Lets keep it to great photos, and no more than one post a day for each member.

    ===============

    Here's mine for now: Took a little while to line this one up, approaching the golden hour up on the coastal terrace oak savannah.

    Love those deciduous trees in the fall, what a stark contrast to the NYC skyscrapers.

    Seems like the miniature mode is useful in a lot of ways that don't really accentuate a miniature effect. Here it just gives the image a really dreamy, painterly, "loving" kinda look. Nice shot, Sami!

    Really great capture. Such defined branch structure with the backlighting.

    Reminds me of one of the first shots I took with my S95, late in the day in this weird little strip of forest below the golf course. The late sun colors came out so bright and painterly, just like I saw them. Sky overexposed, though, wish I had known of HDR.

    Golf Course?

    Great stuff @LowLightSue, I really like the vignette you did on the B&W one.

    For future reference: In Flickr, click "Share this" above the photos, then "Grab the HTML". Cut and paste from there.

    Very cool shot, great abstraction.

    Thought this was MUNI in San Francisco at first, but on second look it's way too clean. :) I see you're in Vienna?

    A tram? Nice... (we don't have trams in my place)

    I was in Zürich and that's a trolleybus - no tram. There I was waiting for a bus at the station with -10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) and then this station with a huge red sign on the other side and the nice blue and white bus. click. Keeps me warm whenever I look at it.
    @syf: I will try to take some pictures of trams in Vienna after Christmas...

    My wife and I went to the sunken cemetery in Camiguin. A wonderful place to spend your vacation

    Photobucket

    Lying 20 feet underwater in Barrio Bonbon, Catarman lies the sunken cemetery, the remains of a volcanic eruption. Coral encrusted tombstones can still be explored by snorkellers and scuba divers. A huge cross was installed in 1982 to mark the community cemetery which sunk during the 1871 volcanic eruption.

    The first photo with my brand new S95.... I literally just un-boxed it... put in the memory card and battery... put the camera into manual and set it up for the shot. ISO 80 with f2.0 at 1/13 shutter

    Indeed, some great stuff. Love the airport lighting and the rustic post-processing especially.

    @jimbojetset: I'm surprised you were able to resist snapping a shot on auto first thing, ha.

    Myself, I'd post something, but my camera isn't connecting to my Macbook right now... Eh, I'll figure that out tomorrow. Sleepy

    I was directly facing the sun in this picture and wouldn't usually take a photo but there was something lurking in the back of my mind that I read somewhere that if you did this with the S95 you would get a good outcome - so I did it.. and noticed that as I looked at the shot on the screen the AUTO sign had turned to a picture of the sun..

    I love the effect, I just enhanced the picture once on my Mac.

    Squeaky clean
    Dripped water from a spoon today (haven't taken shots of water droplets since 2 years ago). :)
    The only thing I did to the image was to crop it.
