I did the saturation and the effects on the eyes and the teeth.

I went on kind of a "photo safari" today, I live about 30 minutes away from Mesa Falls up here in Idaho. I've had a camera forever but I never really use it... It's an 8.0 Megapixel Kodak Easyshare M873. Here are some pictures I took.

WARNING: ALL PHOTOS ARE VERY LARGE AND WILL STRETCH YOUR PAGE

Waterfall and River Shots (5 Pics)

These were all at the upper falls (there's an upper and a lower falls)

Awesome Riverbed Shots (2 Pics)

This was actually at the mouth of a spring


zoomed in

Close-Up Flower and Plant Shots (4 Pics)

Close-Up Butterfly (1 Pic)

This butterfly actually let me get my camera like 3 inches away from it. that picture was too blurry though. I'm not very good at this picture taking game...

Seagulls (4 Pics)

well there ya go! comment please!

agh x-x, the size of your pics are doing strange things to my PC

But they are beautiful

That waterfall looks strikingly like the Snoqualmie falls I live near, even down to that green bank near the fall, only your fall probably doesn't have a hotel on top of it to screw up the view el-maximo

the first two pictures with the vine plant with spikes: I HATE THOSE THINGS, they grow everywhere you look, and I'm getting a run for my money trying to keep them out from under the house's deck (its popping up between the boards) and they grow like...a foot a day it seems, they overtook a 5 acre plot of clear field in only a summer...

the second two plant pictures (flowers): I have seen a few of those here in Washington though not very many, and a couple popped up in my front yard randomly last month

Seagulls: You are lucky that your zoom is worth something, it looks like it let you stand up next to it XD

all in all, you live in a good place to take pictures in, most of your shots are pretty good (though some sizing down would help)

Wow.
I loveeee them!
the water shots are just AMAZING.
i wish i lived near something like that.
The butterfly one was stunning.

Im so jealoussss.
lol.
definitely keep up the good work.

I have a camera simialr to yours.
its a 7.0 megapixel though.

Yeah.. I should size them down a bit... but I also don't want to take away from the resolution of the pics... D:

and that waterfall was beautiful. I was standing on a walkway that went along the rim of a canyon that the waterfall fell into. and the green stuff that's growing on the bank of ther river is actually kinda cool, it is physically impossible for that stuff to naturally grow anywhere else but at the mouth of a waterfall (except for of course a controlled misted habitat)

and yes those seagulls let me get dang close to them... like 4 feet away. people were feeding them bread so they stuck around and let me get some nice shots

also, those prickly plants may be a pain, but they are beautiful.

haha yeah thanks! I think I actually got lucky with some of the shots I took. my fav's were the riverbed shots (make a good texture in a sig!) and yeah, it's nice to live next to so much beauty ^^

Nice pictures, keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the comments guys!
