This is what I look at everyday.
Doral Arrowwood Hotel in Rye Brook New York.

My parameters are set to neutral and don't have CS at work, so I used Microsoft Photo Editor to sharpen the photos and do the auto color balance. They are over exposed by +1 .
This is actually a Golf Course or part of it. It's not odd to see the occasional deer come out and roam around.

This next photo is off to the right of the 1st photo. It shows the rest of the golf course, which is covered in snow and also the housing complex's that are further up in the distance. Amazingly they are a bunch of mirror houses that start at about 90,000 or so, and they have their own complex complete with shopping mall and the among other things.

thanks for viewing.

Images are hosted on pbase, so if you have difficulty viewing them I have posted an alternate link above.
The images are shot with my kit lens (which I just got) and the 20D in jpeg mode. Just figured I would shot what I look at all the time.
During the evening the sun sets right over the trees and when the clouds are out, it makes for a nice set of colors.

edit: p.s. both shot at 18mm

Couldn't see the images so I clicked the links. Looks like a nice serene place - where are the golfers though? Too cold for them? :mrgreen:

You know, I don't understand pbase. They say if you pay for a membership then you can hyper link blah blah blah, but every time I do hyper link they never work..

Yes thanks, I am not sure if they are a bit to sharpened though hard to tell at such a small size, but anyhow I am used to these golfers constantly being out there and hitting the ball in the water .. lol... Then they get pissed and throw the golf club in the air. Not to mention that 90% of the women never hit the ball across the pond .. hehe... But I have seen one old lady do it.
Thanks for the coments.


ok , I figured out how to properly link the photo's ... They should show up now.

CLICK ON LARGE IMAGE IF YOU WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING VERY CLEARLY.

I used microsoft crap to resize the image and it really distorted them so I redid them and didn't resize them. However I let pbase resize the above images.
