GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

This seemed like it would be a fun thing to start. We always share pictures of our Vibes (or other cars in some cases) but we rarely ever just share our photos. So, here's the thread for it. Edit: Just to make sure there's no confusion, I'm not wanting to stop anyone from creating a thread to share vacation photos or anything. I just thought it would be fun to have a thread to share some of the photos we might not share otherwise.There are just a few rules. 1) Only 1 photo post per day. This way everyone gets to share. 2) Please only submit your own work. 3) Photos posted must be no larger than 480px high. (640x480 for landscape layout. 360x480 for portrait layout). 4) This thread will probably get big. With that in mind, let's try to keep it on topic as much as possible. Everyone is free (encouraged, even) to comment on the photos posted but try to keep it to one post per photo. 5) The rules are subject to change as needed. 6) Part rule, part statement. You needn't be a pro to post in this thread. That said, let's try to keep any criticism strictly positive.7) Not a rule but just a notice. We will probably prune some of the comments after a while just to control the size of the thread. We're not picking on anyone just keeping things tidy.

I'll lead off.This was taken nearby where I live. I'm starting to experiment a little bit and was happy with the way this came out. Of course I should learn to be a little more careful as this shot ALMOST resulted in injury and loss of a rather precious piece of equipment. Isolation:

I took this while on one of those cheesy doubledecker bus sightseeing tours in NYC, but I think it's a really cool shot. It's in downtown Manhattan, near City Hall.

I love this bridge... It makes for a nice entrance to downtown Columbus, IN. I adore that little town, it has some of the neatest architecture downtown! There may not be a lot to do there, but there's a lot of neat stuff to walk around and look at. lol! So, I have a zillion pics of that place.This is a great idea, Millster! I can't wait to share some of the stuff I've taken of people, places, and things. I'm certainly not a pro though, so don't be too hard on me, folks!

Sunset in Grand Marais, MN in 2004 - on the shore of Lake Superior: I'll have to post another pic or two from that trip - we got some great shots!

Malibu, CA- 2003 on the PCH, such a beautiful spot to be anytime of the day.

Barnview in Kansas

Taken in Dallas back in Oct. of this year on my way home from the South Central meet

This was taken at the train station in French Lick, Indiana...I really like the rustic quality of the sign and the rich blue color of the sky, together with the lines of the roof and the posts.

I feel like my photo skills pale in comparison to you guys, but oh well, here goes.This is a shot I took in Colorado back in 2004.

here's a silhouette of the CN Tower when i was there last year to see the Maple Leafs...er should I say Makeya Laughs(as the way they're playing now)

Love that pic, kinda gives you the feeling that it never ends, with the lines of the cables and what not

Of all the pics I've taken in various parts of rural Indiana, I must say this is my favorite.

Took this pic of a friend when we went hiking near Hanama Bay

Here's my submission for the day. Brilliant Sunset:

In the spirit of the season, I took photos of 'visits with Santa' for my theatre group last Saturday.

316082=11193-Santaandchild12-09-2006.jpg

I have Santa glasses too!

wow they look identical(glasses that is) and love that pic millster, love sunset pics like that and of what scott_h has posted earlier

Gooseberry Falls - North Shore of MN:

No offense, but that's one spooky looking Santa! I guess I'm spoiled - we have gone to The Mall of America every year since our son was born. Normally a 2-3 (if not more) hour wait - he spends probably 5 minutes with each and every kid. I refuse to go anywhere else!

Looking down from the top of the Empire State Building...

wow some amazing pics, this thread kicks (removed)

This was taken from the airplane somewhere between Atlanta and Newark, NJ on the same trip when CP took that Empire State Building shot...

To answer the inevitable question, yes Photoshop was used on this photo to tweak the color saturation. The gradient effect of the sky was achieved with a polarizer filter on my camera. Fall's Final Colors

My turn!Las Vegas sunrise taken from my hotel room at the Hilton: I wish I knew how to resize it!http://img.photobucket.com/alb...4.jpg

Nice pics! All mine are on my other comp, so I will have to post some here in the next few days if I remember/ get a chance.

Thanks CP!

Here's one of my favorite pics taken by my son. It's the Frank Lloyd Wright designed "Fallingwater" in western Pennsylvania. Taken in the fall of '05.

A small field of nothingness...

Last one I'll post of our visit to the "north shore" of Minnesota for the gf's 30th birthday:

The interior of the old Courthouse in St. Louis, near the Arch, taken May 2005.

kostby, I love that pic of the Frank Lloyd Wright home! He created some amazing works of art in his time. And the pic of the courthouse looks very nice too!On to my latest submission, view of downtown Cincinnati (er, actually just the bridge for the most part!) as seen from Newport On The Levee.

Thanks for the kudos, ColonelPanic! The wake from that pleasure boat just makes the bridge photo!Here's a spiritual one...

Back from vacation and can post pics again! The last sunrise (and well, really the only one) I saw during my visit to SC:

Awesome pic! I love the effect created by the shadows in the sand under the pier!

This is how we roll up in the Dunes Seriously though....This is a picture of my friend Janine bravely jumping off of the highest dune up near Traverse City at the sleeping bear dunes. We had competitions to see who could get the most airtime. As you can see, it is quite a long fall to the bottom but its all sand so it doesn't hurt all the bad as long as you roll when you hit hte ground lol.

Hope she's like the cheerleader in HEROES tv show, and can quickly reform her broken limbs!

Thanks to everyone who has participated so far! A wonderful batch of photos, indeed!With the holidays out of the way, I can start participating again, as well. Behind the Cue:

That one is awsome, how'd you get that shot?Colonel that beach one is gorgeous too.

Thanks!I actually used my Dad as a stand-in for the photo. So that is his hand. I couldn't quite manage the shot on my own.

i took a photography course back in college...here's one of my shots. it's the john hancock building in boston.

Nice shot! I like it a lot.

Awesome!

Sorry I entered on the 2nd page and didn't see the 1 pic rule. EDIT: Extra photos removed.

From our vacation in St. Joseph, Michigan. Some funky sculpture they had there.

Today's pic, there will be another tomorrow.

I took this picture in June through my patio door. This butterfly landed in my neighbour's Japanese Lilac that overhangs our fence in the backyard.

Also since I see its hosted on Photobucket, click on the pic in Photobucket, and there is a Resize option there and you just select the Message Board size! I just discovered this - VERY handy!
