I took this with my digital camera. I think it's really pretty. Wanted to share it with you after I say a previous post entitled "sunset". I'm not sure that there is much to critique... but say whatever you'd like.

Beautiful Photo! I love clouds and sunsets!

btw, what digital cam do you have? Could anyone recommend a digi-cam with good quality at an affordable price?

Thank you. I could!

I use a Canon PowerShot S10. If you would like more sample photo's, www.deadbyte.com/trend/srfg - that is an ftp with all of my newer photo's on it. I recently purchased the new camera. Before I used an HP. I woulden't reccemmend the HP.

But, the Canon has decent image quality. It's really small. The most problems that I've encountered have been poor flesh color reproduction, the flash sucks, and you must purchase a battery pack that costs 100$ to use the camera. The camera uses special photo batteries which allow you to take about 20 pictures with the flash. It's horrible battery time. But, the 100$ battery pack allows you to use one recharagable battery and it gets quite nice battery time with it also. And takes about an hour to recharge a full depleted battery too. If you do not get the battery pack, the "special" photo batteries will cost you 9-15 dollars a peice.

I would reccemend alot of research. That's what I did. You know what, if you leave near a Circut City, i would definitly advice you to go there beofre you make a final decision. I was there today and you can actually try out all the digital camera's there. It's really really nice. I wish you good luck with your camera hunting. If you have more questions, I'd be more then happy to try to answer them.

MY GOD!!! I totally love your pics from NYC...really makes you think "are there more cabs than people there"

I mean, I've heard that there are lots of cabs there, but that is fucking insane...

Haha, thank you very much. Yes, I went there the weekend of the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

I've only been there once, but there were sure as hell TONS of people there.

About the taxi's... You see on television people joking about how crazy the cab drivers there drive, but it is true!! Each time I go in one, I get excited. It's soooo great to watch everyone weaving in and out of 45 miles per hour moving cars. It's really exciting.

A funny little thing that happened to us while we were there.... I went there with my family and some friends of ours. There were about 10 of us, which forces us to take 3 seperate taxi's. This costs a total of about 40-50$. As we were waiting for a taxi outside of the hotel, a man approached us and asked us if we would like to go where we were heading in a limo. Sowe got the details and all that crap and he took us to the Metropolitan Musuem Of Art for 40$. I just think that is great.

By the way - the Metro is a fantastic mesuem.

wohoo thats great.. I love the orange and purple mix.

I want to buy a digicam too sometime in the next months.. but those things are so expensive :/ .. at least when you want something with more than 800x600 pixel resolution and good image quality.

The canon that I use has three resolution settings. The smallest is 800x600, and I'm sorry but I forget the other ones. But there are two more. It's really nice.

It is a 2.1 mega pixel camera.
