Spring Break '07 DigitallyChallenged
Well.. I took my camera on our group's Spring Break trip. Here's a few of my favorite shots from the trip.

This was shot from the hip. He's my "Big Brother" for the fraternity I'm pledging. Quite a goofball.

We also went to an aquarium. As you'll see in the next picture, these particular tanks allowed you to stick your head up inside.

One of my buddies was disappointed that the puffer fish in the previous picture wouldn't puff. So he decided to instead.

We took a tram to the top of a nearby mountain. There were two trams, this is obviously the other tram when we passed on the wire.

Bonus points if you can identify where we went!

This was shot blindly out the window of the tram.

I shot this one from the railing of the cabin. I didn't think to use the self timer or mirror lockup, hence the vertical motion blur... It turns out I like it a lot better this way.

Finally, a shot I took a few weeks ago. It wasn't on Spring Break but I already have a thread going. As always, I appreciate any feedback or criticism.

This is your best photo. The rest of them are trash.

Sell your camera.

The tram one was OK.
Don't give up! =)
You were probably drunk when you took these anyway...
Usually pictures of vacations amount to no photographic value other than memories, at least for me. When I take pictures on vacation I do not expect them to look good, just serve their purpose: to make me remember what fun I had. If you go on vacation for taking pictures you won't be able to experience the actual trip. So by that logic, you had a lot of fun... =P
