Finally got up to the causeway and managed to take quite a few pictures - even got a couple of decent ones:

I really need to put more effort into my shots. It may just be a little point and click camera but almost everything I took was either dark or washed out. I figured in one of the world's most scenic spots, I'd have a whole card full of postcard quality pics... Ah well. Comments always welcome. :)

    I think they are pretty nice. I wish you could have framed without the ropes in the second one and I would clone out the power line in the last one.

    The one with the pilings (or whatever the stone pillars are) is interesting.

    Yeah the pillars are the strange natural formations that the Causeway is known for:

    Hey Keith,

    That first one is fine and could be a post card candidate. You need to pay more attention to your compositions but you got some good color in the shots. What camera are you shooting with?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's a little Casio QV-R40. I like it but the settings are hell to get to in all the menus so I mostly go with the preset modes - landscape, portrait, etc. I wish I had a camera with controls on it that I could actually see and set for a shot but I'm not serious enough about it to plonk down $1000 for one.

    And here I thought composition was the only thing I had in my favor... :)

    Hey Keith,
