Amateur Photography

A few shots of some various roses in a rose garden. Click here to see more shots… I bought a new “jack stand” for the camera, a monopod for really leaning into the shots with a still hand. All these shots were taken with the camera on full auto. This is what I like so much about the Nikon digital SLRs, all you have to do is point it at something interesting and the camera does all the work for you. I use a D50 and all the pics in this album are taken with a variable focal length 22-80mm zoom lens. There are no modifications done digitally or by filters in these shots.

Enjoy the photos!

Roadtrip to Fall Creek Falls State Park in East Tennessee

By Mark Darnell, on October 3rd, 2007%

The main fallsOur latest trip with the camper took us to a place about 70 miles north of Chattanooga Tennessee nestled way back in the hills – a state resort park called Fall Creek Falls. It’s several thousand acres of beautiful, thick canopy tree cover with three waterfalls, hiking trails, multiple campgrounds, a very large lake feeding the park’s namesake waterfall, and for the non-camper there are several lakeside cabins and an inn. It has been many years since I’ve been to this state park and it was really great to get back to it after all this time. I took many pictures of the park while there plus many from a trip to Chattanooga to see the Tennessee Aquarium. There are 6 separate sub-galleries to choose from numbered part 1 through part 6. These are in chronological order from our arrival until we left. Click here to enter the galleries – Enjoy!
