absolutely! This is the GATE. I took this picture back in AZ at a friends house as the sun went down. 
I like the composition here. Also the deep colors and the Vignetting around the image, even with the noise, it still looks very interesting.

been thinkin about gettin a digital camera but I know nothing about them..what would a good starter be for a guy with not a whole lot of money? Well, think about the features you want. Many cameras now days offer a TON, including video. So write down what you would like - here's some examples to include: 1. video 2. Pre-sets (landscapes, portraits, manual) 3. Jpeg and Raw file format 4. Underwater pictures etc, etc....Then once you figure out the features, start looking at different ones. Such as Kodak, Nikon, Camera...the Canon Powershots are great cameras as well as the Nikon Coolpix- easy to use and great quality. My first camera was an older Kodak easy shoot 3.1mp digital camera, my second was a Nikon D50 DSLR and my current one is the Canon Digital Rebel Xti DSLR - at some point i'd love to upgrade to the Canon 5D Mark II. I'm more of a DSLR person. lol I also have a digital rebel. While I'd love to upgrade, it will have to do for now. I'd definitely recommend a canon, though. I've been using Canon since 2006, they've truly grown on me. I've used the 20D, 30D and the 5D, which I fell in love with, lol - So, I also recommend a Canon!

Here's one of mine, taken from my flickr account. It was taken just inside Ogden Canyon here in Utah. I call it the Ogden Canyon waterfall..I know it's a weird angle but there was no great angle to get at for this one. Lightroom2 + PhotoshopCS4

So, who here is into photography and if you are perhaps consider showing? I used to be big into photography. It's a fun hobbie I need to get back into. I've messed around with 3d quite a bit too. Here's a few I've taken on the Big Island:  
 
Oh these are great! You should share some more! :) The waterfall really is nice, love the long exposure look and deep colors. Nice composition as well.

What do you all think?

She definitely shouldn't breast feed the baby while the weed is in her system, as it will also take a few days before it's fully out....Perhaps talk to her about finding another way to relieve her stress. Smoking weed during (what might be) post partum depression or baby blues can lead to smoking more, drinking and possibly drugs.
I think this is the point where I would literally be yelling at my friend and telling her what she's is wrong as well as trying to help her find a solution-because once you decide to have and keep a baby, all the drinking and drugs stays in your past, it's all about your baby now. |

I have 3 boys, their adults now and they were always wrestling, shooting each other.. rough stuff. Now they play all the violent games. My 18 year old is an artist and when he was little he drew pictures of daggers, blood..and he hasn't been in a fight since he was 2. I don't know where that place you speak of is..Antelope Island.. 
Where are you ? Antelope Island is by Layton, which is 44 miles north of Salt Lake City South of SLC..in the happy valley Mmm..i'm not familiar with the "term" happy valley...But I think I have a feeling where that might be. It's scary here 
lol...it can't be that bad! Happy Valley = west valley? It really is.. further south..BYU ring a bell? Ah....Brigham Young University...Yeah you are way down there. The only thing I hate is the traffic on I-15, other than that, seems like it's a nice area. Been well over 2 years since i've been down that way. By the way, good to meet another person in the forum from Utah! |

I wouldn't worry. My brother kept drawing fighter planes and OAS assassins and wrestling matches. And he grew up to be a most wonderful father. I played with toy soldiers and payed cowboys and indians and often shot down each other with my friends. I used to go and get into fights and end up making love with the boys I fought with in grade seven. And look at me now. So don't worry about your kid, he's just a little man too much, and it's a passing phase until he turns 28 and gets married.

Go with your gut then. His APGAR you mentioned was great! So he had a great start. If you dont feel comfortable just yet seeking outside assistance than dont. Like I said, for now he isnt acting violently towards you, himself, pets...it may be something he has learned on tv. Keep him away from any exposure to death...Most 5 year old dont have that exposure yet. You care, you are being attentive. Do some of your own research on the subject if you dont feel comfortable talking to outsiders. Thank you for the advice -
I will keep watching what he is doing...and if his attitude changes then i'll seek a private counselor. Thanks again

Maybe have him to talk to a counselor. It could be nothing, but it could also mean something. It wouldn't hurt him to talk to someone. Maybe he would be interested in something like cub scouts or something. I'm not sure if he would be too young or not, but I remember that's something they suggested when I was younger, I think I was around 7 or 8 though. Yeah, I looked into Cub Scouts for him, but they don't start till age 7, so 2 more years and he can get into that. :/ I think he'll be alright. Sounds like he has a very loving and caring mother, that's all he really needs IMO.
Thank you for your words of kindness and you are right, all he needs is Me and of course Grandma to help spoil him, lol

I am currently in college studying abnormal child psychology (adolecent psychopatology). I am by NO MEANS A PROFESSIONAL! I am also a mother of a 6 year old only child. IMO I think your concerns are wonderful, it shows that you are an attentive mother. Go to your son's school and ask for a social worker or school counselor and express your concerns. But take their evaluations with a grain of salt. Our society (and my chosen profession) seems so quick to label everything all of the time, when sometimes there is nothing wrong. And there are plenty of psychoanalists out there that are dying to put a label on what they consider "abnormal" which in turn will only cause more problems down the road. In the mean time keep him away from the TV. And keep an eye on him, as long as he is not acting out violently,he isnt in immediate danger. Good Luck, I do understand your situation. I never did like expressing my thoughts in the schools because you are right, anyone out there would be glad to label someone and I don't want my son to be labeled especially if nothing is wrong with him. I already got news that his right ear is bad and they want me to take him in for more hearing tests. That Broke my heart that because when he was born he came out 9/9 on the scale (which is a healthy child) |

I don't know what is going on with him...he seems very normal to me. He plays in the dirt, plays with our dog, likes to get messy, loves to look at books, read books with me or grandma, go do things with us...and then when he sits down and starts drawing...he will draw nothing but bad things. Like people getting bitten by sharks, people getting into an accident and dieing and other things related to dieing. It's a little scary seeing my son go from playing and being happy to drawing unhappy pictures. And he will also talk about it, but i'm not sure it's because he doesn't understand or there is something deep down inside that he doesn't know how to handle or trying to get out? anyone elses kids ever do that around the age of 5? His father isn't in his life(hasn't been in it for over 3 years) he just started kindergarten and he hasn't gotten into trouble, he seems to listen really well to his teacher (I volunteer sometimes so I get a chance to see how he interacts with everyone)and he is an only child. We go on walks, he goes to the park, we go hiking, we watch movies, we play games, we read...maybe it is me over reacting because I want him to be happy. but he started doing drugs(mostly just noss) and drinking and going to parties until he died in a car accident,sad ending for him. Thanks, that makes me feel alot better about my son!

Hard to say whats going on in the mind of a 5 year old. If he's being good and is happy I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on him. Where in Utah are you at? I ask because I'm here too... I'm by Antelope Island |
