Any of you guys photography enthusiasts? Here are a few of mine from the past three months or so.

Matt, I don't know if this will take up lots of space or create a big load on the server or what, but feel free to delete it.

OK, I think I'm done. If you'd like to see more, there are probably lots in my neglected Facebook albums. Add me if you want; I've always been an outdoorsy kinda guy, so there's lots of more cool stuff there.

Those are good! And please post away. The server has 60GB available... we've used 20GB.

I'll post up some when I get a chance. I actually made a living from photography on and off. Some product photography (hot, tedious) and about a year of photographing homes for real estate listings (boring, low pay).

This is good because it's got foreground and background, which makes it 10x more interesting than just background (waves, horizon, sky).

These are great! You're very good at this (and at giving advice here!) ;)

Here are some from when I went to St Lucia

Great shots everyone! I've dabbled in it on and off. Most of my photography is automotive but I have some stuff that isn't...

EDIT: seems my pictures are too big, so I've posted a few links instead.

Hey, I recognize that fountain! I almost ended up going to Clemson - it was my 1st choice had I not been accepted to VT.

Are you from NC or just venture up that way a bit?
