I realized when I went to post this pic that I had left a category out. Honestly, I might as well sell my big money digital camera because I never carry it anywhere. This pic is from my Nikon CoolPix pocket cam. Although I posted this and more in the trout fishing forum, I figured I'd share it here as well. I did do a bit of cropping, resizing and color editing in MS Picture Manager just to make the files more manageable for downloading here.  |

I think this pic is beautiful myself! |

Then again, there are some things that push a pocket cam to it's limits. I took this one this morning, so you have low light and distance working against the camera's zoom capabilities. What started out as a 3500+ pixel shot got cropped down to under 1000 pixels, tweaked the brightness and contrast, added color saturation and this is the best you can get. This is when you need to big fancy digital with one of those lenses nobody but Photo freaks can afford to buy. These two were at the morning breakfast buffet in my wildflower patch. It was about a 150 ft. shot. Mom was lurking back in the woodline about 200 ft. away in near darkness. There just wasn't any way to get a pic of her with the pocket cam.  |

I've got a whole pile of pics from our trip to NC all taken with my Nikon CoolPic pocket camera. Problem is I left them in HD mode and would have to really size them down to show up on here. You can see them on my FaceBook timeline.
Biltmore Estate
Chimney Rock
NC Arboretum
and soon to come
Blue Ridge Parkway and UNC Botanical Gardens.
The skies were grey and overcast which was great for diffusing shadows but horrible for landscape shots with the sky in the background so a bit of editing had to take place before I posted them. That is the downside to pocket cams. You can add UV, or other filters to compensate for lighting conditions.
