Nice pics! Your photos are so clear, I'm curious what your camera specs are.

These were taken with a Nikon COOLPIX. Images are set to save at 1600x1024.

Very nice. I'd like to get a new camera one of these days, but will stick with what I've got for now.

I noticed after I looked that there are a bunch of them with this name. My camera is a s3300. About $130.

We paid around $600 for our Sony camera about 8 years ago, but the technology has improved so even in that amount of time that cheaper cameras can take as good or better photos. I think ours is only 7 mp if I remember right.

Yeah this one is 16. My main camera is a Cannon Rebel XT which cost a whole bunch more and is 8MP.

Your post inspired me to do some photography today. I got my camera out and my granddaughter and I went on a trip to take photos of some old, abandoned railroad bridges. I'll do a new post later tonight with the pictures I got.
