I'm a fairly avid amateur photographer and after checking with Montego (thanks Montego!) I thought I'd set up a thread to share some of my favorite shots with my new Hyundai friends.

If anyone's interested the greater majority of the pictures have been produced with two Kodak Z series cameras. An older 6MP Z650 with 10X optical zoom and my newer 12MP BSI Z990 with 30X optical zoom.

I live in on the East coast in Central Florida. We're about 40 - 50 miles South of Cape Canaveral Air Station/Kennedy Space Center... Which brings us to the subject of my first two images.

These are (and for all future posts) just cropped thumbnails to cut down on loading time on the forums. Clicking on them will open the full size images that I'm hosting on my web site.

Saturn V rocket launch. 16 sec (camera max) exposure. 4:05 AM 08-30-2012. Streetlight couldn't be helped.


Also a 16 sec. exposure. About 45 seconds after launch. You can see some of the rocket's smoke trail in the clouds on the left.

3 - 2 - 1... CLICK!

Took a 250 mile round trip to the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell Florida to take mom to see dad's grave and put some flowers on it for the first time in eleven years. Very nice if a little long ride. Even got 34.5 MPG.








Click thee the pictures and thoust will see more.

The first marker in the row of that last picture is heartbreakingly sad.

More pics! Woo!

I found these amazing trees while driving aimlessly around the barrier island off of Route A1A.






Many of the street signs at the local beaches are decorated with stickers
and grafitti. I think I might do a photo study dedicated to them one of these days.


Beautiful decorative grass in the middle of the road.


I was driving down the road the other day and I said "Wow that's the biggest
pine I've ever.... wait a minute! That's no tree! It's a space stat... cell tower!"

Click and be enlargened!

Taken, probably 20 years ago, along one of the many walking trails at the
Fairfield, CT Audubon Sanctuary. Shot on film with my Canon AE-1.


One of the few times I tried out the special effect filters I had.
The filter used was a 6X cross.

Double your pleasure, more than double your picture. Click 'em!

I saw this sign and had to run home to grab
my camera so I could snag a picture before it
got changed... Last time I ever left the house
without a camera with me.






I did a little experimenting with the panorama stitching feature on t
he Kodak Z990 camera...

Clicking makes pictures happy, really.

Some more older pics...

These two are just flowers I bought for my mom on different occasions.




My all time favorite sky photo. No special editing, it really looked like that.


Driving home from a friend's house in a total monsoon. Driver's side window in
the Probe had quit working and I was 10 miles from home. It was the ride from ɧȝɭɭ!


This little guy couldn't have been more than an inch long. Kodak makes a really
nice camera IMO :).

Hey, more pictures!

Now that's a crappy job...


I'm a freebie addict... this is the most useless
freebie, ever. But it was free!


Freebie Pocket Lamp/Card Light wallpaper. Annoy
your friends, your family, your coworkers... yourself!


I didn't know they still made Barnum's Animal Crackers. Too cool!


How many complaints do you think they had to receive before the
decided they had to put up signs that FROSTY PAWS from PURINA
is for your DOG not your KID!

Make the clicking motion and be entertained!

Mom wanted to go watch the sunrise. So we're sitting in the pre-dawn light
enjoying the quite peacefulness of the breaking waves and the distant sounds
of terns and gulls when all of a sudden from a foot behind me comes
'****-A-****-DOODLY-DOO'. I nearly wet myself. And then this guy comes
strutting down the boardwalk as bold as brass.
There's a freaking rooster at the beach!


I cannot resist taking a shot of the moon when the opportunity arises.
This is a hand held shot just before dawn at Melbourne Beach.


This next image is from the same source as the previous moon shot
but adjusted/edited in Photoshop for clarity (no thumbnail):

Click and the world clicks with you... Quack and you quack alone!

Took a trip along the Black Point Wildlife Drive, a seven mile, one-way drive
through part of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. These are some of
the pictures I got.

What most of Florida looked like before modern man moved in and took over.
It's hard to get the sense of miles of scrub and swamp in a photo.


NASA's monstrous Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB.) off in the mist and fog.
Several miles away and still beyond gigantic.


There were literally thousands of ducks in this one pond in the middle of the
refuge. Do note the number of ducks mooning the camera.


I dont know why but I called this 'Moon Over My Vulture' I must have been
thinking of Denny's at the time... I'm weird, I can't help it! This was taken at
the Canaveral National Seashore. Just down the road from the Merritt Island
Refuge.


Dig the crazy leg colors on these guys. One's are black with yellow feet
(freaky!) and the other's are almost all green (weird!)

Clicking is good. Santa wants you to be good. So... CLICK!

Many more to come!

More photos from the Merritt Island trip...

Somewhere in the wilds of Merritt Island the road goes vertical...


Scrub-Jay posing on a stump... Taken at the Canaveral National Seashore.
Just down the road from the Merritt Island Refuge.


Pretty flower growing by the side of the trail.


Check out the robo-zombie bird there in the middle.

See 'em bigger, click 'em now!

Still yet more to come!
