PICTURE POST!

[Squiggy]

This is the Captain Kirk that sits on the desk of Captain Kirk and the picture was taken by the guy who takes pictures of Captain Kirk. Its going up on the next shuttle mission.

Could I be a bigger nerd? I don't know. I'd have to try very hard.

Just got a new phone this past weekend. It's not the best picture-taker, but it's many times better than my last phone. Took this as I left work yesterday:

Someone took a trip to South Florida this past week. And none of this Miami or clubbing or beach stuff, I'm talking a National Park vacation.

Marathon, FL sunset

A remote island 70 miles west of Key West. the snorkeling kickesd ass, as did the fort.

Look, it's a moat!

Moonrise in the Everglades

Gators!

Birds at dinner time. Spot the gator in this picture, win a cookie.

Camera phones have come a long way.

Camera phones have come a long way.

Seriously. These pictures look as good as if they were from my actual digital camera!
By the way, SmoothieX, love the hat in the Fort Jefferson pic!

^It kept the blazing sun off of my head and neck. It may look kinda dorky, but I didn't get a sunburn.

The moat one is absolutely amazing.

Pictures of me in an Irish pub on St Patrick's day last week.

With thanks to the photographer for making halfway decent pictures of me.

Neat! Whatcha drinkin'?

Half a litre of Hoegaarden. More or less the way it should be drunk: with a lemon wedge. Normally the glass should be frozen too, but well, it was an Irish pub after all. What do they know of beer.

Smoothie, those pictures look amazing!! Too bad I hate the heat!

Me with freshly curled hair this afternoon:

My god, you bear such a strong resemblance to my ex when she was younger!

Look, it's a moat!

I like all your pictures, bu this one is my favorite.

No kidding. My digital camera is 10 megapixels...my phone is 12!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I want to lie down in that moat and let all that salty blue sunlight wash me clean.

^ Very nice, as usual!

Last one looks a bit like rosemary?

Look, it's a moat!

Release the sharks!

I'll guess that's him there.

They may have more pixels, but their lenses are still pretty crap compared to even a low end digital camera. All the pixel resolution means is that you'll get a larger, crappier image.

And who needs a 12 MP pixel image? No one unless you're printing off an HD billboard. A 640x480 image is fine if you're going to print off a 4x6.

 

[RoJoHen]

I actually print off quite a few larger images.

No sharks to be found there, but I did see a big sea turtle inside the moat. Wouldn't be a trip to the Tortugas (Spanish for turtle) without seeing a turtle.

Winner! I lied about the cookies though, I'm fresh out.

They're pretty stealthy underwater when they want to be, despite being just below the surface.

It's perfectly acceptable for a man to squee.
