Cool Nature Photos

[snymat68]

I just spent a long weekend in Blackwater Falls, WV and Dolly Sods, WV taking photos. These are a few of my favorites that I captured.

Click on the images to view larger versions.

Enjoy.

Great pix, thanks for sharing! I've hiked both of those places & many more in WV, one of my fav states!

Here's a few I took this past Sunday at Lake Hope State Park in SE Ohio. Nothing like yours, but not too shabby for an iphone 8! :laughing:

Any photo of nature is a good photo in my book!

For viewing on the computer, from 15 years of doing our newsletter and have to watch size of it, I've found that pictures resized (can use Paint) down to 500 to 700 pixels wide will "pop" right up even on DSL internet vs. VERY SLOW TO LOAD typical 2400 pixel or so wide ones right off your camera. And really no loss in quality for computer viewing.

Use Paint, folks, before posting your pics.

Ralph,

Thanks for the reminder. I was in a hurry when I posted yesterday and forgot to resize them.
They are now resized to 1000px on the long edge and load much faster.
It's easy to forget these things when you have fiber-optic internet.

That's funny. I just got this (phone) shot of a friend getting a (DSLR) shot of this deer the other day.

Ansel Adams had nothing on you. If you aren't a professional photographer, perhaps you ought to be.

Assuming you are directing this towards snymat68, to which I would agree.

I'm glad that was cleared up because I was wondering how they could be any better(I was late to the party and was viewing them after resized.:thumbsup:
