Why did this happen?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. It is lens flare

from shooting into the sun. Happens to all of us.

2. ok. thanks. These were taken with a disposable. I just uploaded

I am now the proud owner of a digital :bounce:

3. Congrats on having a new camera.

Course this is the photo group and we are very greedy for pictures so I am hoping that means you will be posting lots and lots of photos for us to devour. :bounce:

I hope those were the only flared photos and that the rest were ok.

4. These were the only 2 ...

And yes, I have more ;) this one is still disposable:


It was raining today but, I did get a few snaps w/ the digi. Here is one w/ raindrop on the lens:

5. Oh a fall photo.

Love the color on the tree and great shy. I kind of missed fall this past year.


That little road/lane(?) I bet would be a great place to take pictures at different times of the year. Minus the raindrops of course. I have one here I keep saying I will get photos of in all the seasons but haven't yet.

6. Thanks for the comments. The little lane is my homemade

driveway :blush: and the fall one was taken in my backyard.

9. I wasn't sure and I wouldn't be

blushing over it you did a good job of it. I drive roads that look about like that on a regular basis. lol



off to bed for me now.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. Good talking with you...sleep tight

and my neighbor did most of the work ;)

[JeffR]

12. Wow.

Your driveway and backyard are almost identical to ours, except that ours look really small and kind of crappy. Otherwise, virtually indistinguishable. ;-)

Good work here.

13. ty, JeffR

Now that I have a digi, I hope to contribute more to this forum and the contests. I also entered one of my disposables for consideration for the calendar. :)

7. That autumn one is beautiful.

Perhaps the best photo ever taken with a disposable. :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. Oh...dear! High Praise, indeed! tyvm.

The one I tried to enter in the March/Door contest was also disposable :blush:

eta the photo:

11. No, no!

No slight meant! I have always had dreadful results with disposable cameras. You, apparently, have much better luck with them. :) I love this shot with the stairs. Where was it taken?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. Oh. The stair way shot was taken in the little town where I live. --

And I have another question for you guys. Do you find that pictures take on another dimension (?) when seen on the computer? Not sure, how to explain it. Ex: the stairway shot...was Not impressive to me on the hard copy but, when on the computer screen it looks ________________ (important? not sure of the terminology/adjective).

[intheflow]

15. Impressive? Is that the word you're looking for?

Maybe majestic? That's the feeling I get with that stairway shot. It may look more striking simply because it's magnified. That is, you get a 4x6 print, but on a 13" computer screen it's more like looking at an 8x10. That's my best guess.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. Majestic? really? Cool... and maybe the magnification (enlargement)

is what does it. Brings out the details. Thanks.

18. I like your door picture

I like how the stairs curve round and hide part of the door. There's a mystery to it that draws me in. Don't be embarrassed that it was taken on a disposable. After all, it's not the tools you have, but what you do with them.

17. Happens allot when shooting into heavy light: sun, Klieg, stuff like that

Your lens almost has a forensic patterning to it
