I went back to Nevada over the weekend for my sister's birthday, and took a few pictures along the way. The full index is here:

These are some of my favorites:

She don't run real good no more.

A micro-burst over Sparks, Nevada.

An outcrop.

First signs of spring in the desert.

The view from my parents' deck.

All taken with a Nikon CP995.

WOW!!!! Cool stuff! I REALLY enjoyed the mountain and the city one.

For a moment, i thought it was you 3d renders.

DAMN. The panoramic one with the city is so cool!
I'm kicking myself for not taking photos when I visited London. So many beautiful old buildings there...of course, some of Sijun's members probably live there, so they could take pics anytime they wanted. :/

Yeh some great pics there.
But white balance is way off on some of them!

Word, Shizo. Nice motives, but those pics need a bit of photoshopping.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm hardly a pro photographer, so I'm sometimes hesitant to put my pictures up.

Bang: now you can see where some of my minimal-yet-detailed design sense comes from

Hamster: What's this "film" you speak of?

The CP995 is digital, with a native res of 2048x1536 pixels. Its not SLR, but it does allow for precise control of focus, aperture, and exposure.

Shizo: I corrected some of them, but didn't bother with most. I accuidentally left the in-camera white balance set to "incandescent", so the uncorrected ones are more blue than they ought to be.

A couple more of my faves, for those who don't want to visit my oh-so-thumbnailed complete index:

My friend in Hawaii says the sky in this one looks like the underside of a crashing wave.

Downtown Reno, from 30 miles away. My dad works in the long, skinny building in front of the darker mountains. Its a gambling machine manufacturer.

This old mining baron's mansion is a couple streets up from my parents' house. I thought it looked a lot like the Addams Family residence.

The Virginia City courthouse. Supposedly its the only county court in the US that has a non-blindfolded statue of Justice.

WOW! More truly breath taking pic! Those 2 last bw pic make me feel like i'm living in the 1900. Very cool!!!

Awesome pics. I love the blue tint you've got in the pics. Wrong white balance or not, they look great.

Great pics. Look at all those mountains. I wish Florida had mountains.

A non-blindfolded statue of Justice? I wonder if that was intentional when it was made.
