Housepets!

Wait a seccond, is that an Imperial AT-AT made out of balloons?!

Yes, yes it is.

Wow, it's been a while since I've uploaded anything here! Last Christmas my dad gave me a Nikon D3200 and I finally feel like I'm getting invested in photography as a hobby! This past summer I took a road trip across the country, visiting some well-known places like San Diego, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon. I don't want to flood you guys with pictures, so here's a small album consisting of some of my favorite photography from 2015. There are pictures of the North Carolina autumn, Fourth of July fireworks, my road trip, and a few other random shots that I really liked.

Enjoy! http://imgur.com/a/jjVH7

Those look really nice! I love how they came out!

Nice job, Beagle.

Mm. Love the Canyon. Did you happen to hike in?

Thanks everyone!

@CosmicCoyote: We didn't hike in. I went on the road trip with my father, who is 71 years old, so we took the shuttles around the cliffs along the south rim. I didn't mind the walking problem except when we went to Las Vegas; I would have loved to walk down South Las Vegas Boulevard at night! We went in May, and it was bustling with tourists and the city was so active! Being 20 years old, I wasn't yet at the age to do most things in Vegas, so seeing the nightlife would have been really nice. =(

I only ask because the views from the inside of the Canyon are absolutely unreal. I've hiked there several times and the views never cease to amaze and inspire. That said, if it was May, I don't blame you. Especially with a 71 year old on board. Summer can make the hike absolutely nightmarish if you're not prepared.

Anyways, nice photos! I don't want to take the thread too far away from them.

Ah, a thread that with no new comments since 2015, perfect place to post.
I mentioned in the Welcome Thread that one of my hobbies is photography. I use a Canon EOS 2000D (Also known as Canon EOS Rebel T7) that I bought last summer, formerly used my phones for that purpose. Long shutter photography is something that I've never done often, but recently I tried to make some pictures like that. This was the first one I did after almost a year and I think it came out quite well. This is one of the christmas trams that are running in my country's capital city.

Now that is impressive, nice photo, very professional.

um ... WOW !!

Looks gorgeous, Chieris.

Oh my gracious that is really pretty. You made it come out really good and are truly showing your talent!

Thank you all for the kind words! I really appreciate them.

Hope that you are able to take more nice pictures like that soon!

This is the building of the Hungarian Parliament. The building itself is really beautiful.

Tried to do a long exposure shot again, this time at Elizabeth Bridge while the blue hour lasted

Both very impressive, a magnificent looking building, very elegant and grandiose, reflection sets it of well

Love the pictures that you were able to snap Chieris! Great job on them!

Nicely done !! Budapest is on my bucket list.

Looks great, Chieris.

This is a recent photo of mine, taken yesterday. The bus is a midibus called Otokar Vectio C and it's currently being tested on bus line 16 which is going through the Castle District meaning that a lot of tourists use that line.

Always wanted to see what Turkey looks like so I am glad I saw this picture. Its really nice!

It's good to know that I've visited Turkey recently, wish I had memories of the trip

One of these days I am hoping that you take pictures of your country that you live in. I think that would be really cool!

Still a bit goosey about travel, what with all the new covid variations and all.

Just read news that there is a more vaccine resistant strain that is coming to the US. That is just something ELSE I needed.

I don't even care anymore, I'm just gonna watch the world burn.

That sounds completely and horrifically nihilistic.

My mental health has been so much better after I stopped caring about politics and all that.

I can see how that would help you. Yes.

Have a couple of kangaroos I encountered today.

The sheer thrill of seeing an animal.

Those pictures that you have taken are very nice Furr! Those kangaroos are ADORABLE!

Handsome pair - they seem pleased to have you around.

So they are all males? I ask because I can't see their pouches except for one of them.

Those pics are actually of four different kangaroos. I can't remember the sex of those specific ones but there was a mix of sexes in their mob. No pouches visible in those pics though. In the bottom pic, that dark bit is just the shadow between their pectoral muscles. Kangaroos are built!

Fun fact. Kangaroos can't reach their chest with their claws so if you scritch a tame one there they'll be your friend for life. Don't try it on a wild one though, or you'll get kicked.

I am assuming that these kangaroos were all wild and not tamed then?

A few from the Lake District.

Those are some really beautiful landscapes, nice shots Fox!

This Monday I went to Austria for the second time in my life (also it's the 4th time of visiting a foreign country, even though I don't really count the 3rd one), I was visiting the capital city, Vienna with my a friends and we visited the Schönbrunn Palace and the Upper Belvedere Palace. Also I'm currently a bit obsessed with the public transport of Vienna because of the trip, but that's a bit off-topic.
