While visiting the Golden Gate Park I came across this huge antenna that was ruining the scenery.  Anyone know what it is and what is its purpose?  I know that it is an antenna of some kind but why did they put it right in the middle of this beautiful area and not on top of some building?  I snapped this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using my Canon 28-135mm lens from the lake in the park.  Anyone know anything about this thing I would love to hear about it.

This is a photo of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.  This photo was taken some time back when my wife and I hiked over to the other side of the bridge and I tried getting an angle that would show me more of the bridge but it was impossible unless I had a boat.  I was thinking of going over to the north end of the bridge but that shot had already been captured so many times.  I took this picture with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 just outside of Palm Springs, California.  This is the famous wind farm that provides power for so many people.  This farm has been seen in a lot of movies like E.T. and so many more.  

I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5.  I also took this photo while I was in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We traveled to the Grand Canyon but after we stayed there for one night we knew it was time to come back and stay in Vegas.  Very nice motel.  

This photo was taken with my Minolta Dimage 5.  I took this photo while I was traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am not sure what motel this is in Vegas but if you find out let me know.  I also have some other photos of Vegas that I will post later.  Send me your comments.  If you have pictures of Vegas and want to post them please do.

This photo was taken at the Los Angeles Train Station.  I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  I loved this train station.  It has a lot of history and interesting architecture in it.  The outside area is also very beautiful.

I think that lighting is the key to every photograph.  If you have too much then your photos tend to be washed out with all the light.  If you don’t have enough then your photos come out too dark.  If you can master your camera and learn how it reacts with certain lenses to light then you can truly master the way you and your camera takes pictures. 

I took this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  I didn’t use any flash just the natural light that was there.  I had a bit of a long shutter speed so that I could get the effect of the Carousel spinning in motion.  I took this photo at the mall in Irvine.
