My oldest son and I drove to Minot this morning to go to the Norsk Høstfest. It had been a cold night so there was frost covering everything and it was horrendously foggy, there were times when all I could see was the 10 feet or so of the road right in front of me but there were breaks in the fog and one such break was just as we were nearing a wind farm. We were in a bit of a hurry but I thought the chance of the particular combination, windmills, fog, frost and sunrise would be a hard one to replicate so I stopped. The frost didn't show up very well which was a little disappointing but the rest was captured nicely.

Can anyone recommned a good inexpensive digital camera for someone like me - I am not much of a photographer but I need a camera. My husband bought me one for Christmas a few years ago, but it was an inexpensive recorder also, and I don't like it. It's too hard to use and it makes poor quality images (mustek) anyone got any suggestions? I need something easy to use with good results and I don't want to spend a whole more than 200. I could possibly go a little higher, but not much. Mainly I am looking for something idiot proof.

I k now what you mean Shalot. I've had my camera (a nikon coolpix) for a couple of years and all the different settings still confuse me. I did a quick research for you and this is what I found: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2174702,00.asp. I can't vouch for it from personal experience, but it sounds like something that might workout for you. And with 8 megapixals, that should take very nice pictures. Actually I can't believe you can get an 8 megapixal camera for under $200. Sounds like a good deal.Originally Posted by Shalot

wow, this is awesome Idril. your part of the U.S. must be so beautiful
I would highly recommend any of the Kodak Easyshare cameras. Both the camera and the software that come with it are very user friendly and the price is right. The version I have is older and cost under $100 but takes beautiful pictres for my wholly amateur purposes. My mom recently got one for about $130 that takes spectacular photos, and she also loves the printer dock she got, which produces Kodak quality prints for you at home. I just took a quick look on their site, http://cameras.kodak.com/ and it looks as though within your price range you could get a camera with 8.2 megapixels and a 3X optical zoom for about $180, and there are other more economical but still quality options to choose from.Can anyone recommned a good inexpensive digital camera for someone like me - I am not much of a photographer but I need a camera.

Nice photos Sleepy. How cute. They seem too friendly to be wild.

Well, that would depend on who you talk to, there are those that find it mind-numbingly dull but I think it's beautiful. It has a very simple, natural, rustic beauty unencumbered by development or large cities.I live in the capitol which is the second biggest city in the state and and yet within 10 minutes I can be out in the middle of nowhere and I love that. It may not be exciting but that's what travel is for.
And I like the pictures of the boars, Sleepy. What are you feeding them? It looks like uncooked spaghetti.

Maddy, the pictures were totally breath-taking. Thank you for posting them!
AdoreroDio, you have captured Kentucky well. I enjoyed not only the photos themselves, but the artistic method in which you captured them. Lovely.
Mortis -- cool photos, I have never been to Washington.
Niamh, You make me wish I could be there -- lovely pictures, thanks for sharing them!
Idril, your photos are stunning -- what kind of camera do you take these with, the clarity is awesome!
Sleepy, those were endearing photos (you know me and my animal-loving-side). I LOVED those cute boars! Lucky girl to have fed them!

you know what's really funny, Niamh? those pics of Ireland are the stereotypical picture of England we have over here!!! whenever there's a cheap edition of British Short Stories etc there's be a pic like this on the cover! so when I lived in England I kept looking for these landscapes but couldn't find them anywhere! and now I realize I lived in the wrong country alltogether! I feel cheated
Idril those Pics are amazing! We've NOTHING like that in Ireland!
Sleepy lovely pics of those Boars! They like like they are enjoying their feed!

Niamh, what incredible photos. I just love them all! Very nice photos of you and your friends. I like that last one of you in particular. Now we know what our Niamh really looks like and she is quite pretty indeed. Keep these cool photos coming.
