Wow, mariomel, those are awesome. The variety of colors and angles are amazing.
I dug through my photos from my cruise in Southern Europe last year. Results:
(Please ignore how stupid the site is being, if a "Not Found" page comes up, just press refresh until it comes up with the photo)
- The Pantheon - Sunbeam - Protector - Our Wake - Barcelona Cathedral - Barcelona Battlement
On my site Http://mariacosta.instantlogic.com I have some from Rio, Canada and Vermont.
Loved your pictures, mariomel. All of them.
And Gordon, awesome panoramas.
I loved the panorama of NYC. Great shot! Wished I had thought of that. Somehow, I find difficult balancing a family trip with serious (read: artistic) photography! I found myself often stragling behind my wife and daughter, as I looked for photo opps.
Here are some from a recent weekend in Newport Beach, California. I'm particularly amused by the painted sign reading "JUMPING DIVING DOGS NO" on the pier.

I have a very wonderful and long suffering wife. She now has a camera of her own :) But really what I try and do is only take the shots that are really worthwhile and letting some less potentially good opportunities slide. But most of my trip shots are family/ touristy snaps rather than anything carefully considered
Some great shots Mariomel!
I think you have a very artistic eye.
I live right across the river(NJ) and yet, have not taken the time to get any good city shots.
Can you tell me from where you shot the Statue shot?
Terry, thank you for your comment. The Statue shot was taken from the Esplanade along the Hudson River, right at the bottom of Liberty Street. I used my Sigma 70-300mm. I had no tripod, so I rested the camera on a lampost concrete base, using my gloves to adjust the framing. Used the timer. I should get a little beanbag thingy to help in the future.
Xcharrier, what lens did you use on many of your shots? Quite the perspective.
My husband and I will be going to Europe in April... I can't wait!! In June of this year we went to Australia, where my husband is from. I won't bore you with the hundreds of photos I took, but I found this sign to be rather amusing. Seen at a local fair, or "show" as they're called in Oz.
