I grew up near Occoquan, Virginia, about 30 miles from Washington, DC. Back then it was a tiny little backwater town that was a bit run down . But, times change.
Now it is Historic Occoquan, a tourist and shopping mecca.
My sister and I got together for dinner and then walked through the town for some photos. I particularly enjoyed the Golden Goose, a Christmas Shop. But, I was VERY happy that my wife wasn't with us or I'd have been carrying around a lot of bags instead of a camera!

Some lovely photos there! Living here in Portsmouth UK its mainly ships and boats but I often venture inland to some quaint thatched villages, because the roads are so narrow its difficult to park up and stop for photos or even painting/sketching. As you can imagine taking photos of naval ships gets cautious looks from various people.
Hopefully I am going to make a 'light box' so that I can practise macro, wish me luck!
We women do tend to give men a hard time when in shopping mode. 
I will!
One of my FAVORITE photographers is Jono Slack, of the UK. Here is one of his award winning images.

Ive been photographing for about 9 years now. I didnt really have an interest in photography until I went to Creation 2000 in PA, and I had 3d glasses for some odd reason and I thought I would experiment with my disposable camera and the red and blue "filters", that started it all. :)
I eventually got this really "great" 3mp 6x optical digital camera that I was happy with until I took a photography class, and the lack of manual options left me dissatisfied with it. :)
Ive since started my own photography business, but right now business is kind of slow. Gotta work on that marketing. :)
I like photographing all sorts of things, but action shots are what I like the most. I like the challenge of capturing the moment.
I love playing around with 3D. But, the REAL master of it is "LordV", Brian Valentine.
Not only is he a wonderful photographer; but, a genuinely nice and helpful guy.

Do you mean 3d as in taking 2 images and merging them together to use with 3d glasses? Or do you mean something else? : )
Ive been interested in doing 3d pictures, just havent gotten around to it. It would be nice if you could buy a trigger for a camera that plugs into 2 camera's at once, but then that doesnt solve the focus issue.

What Brian Valentine does is to to take an image and move slightly to the side and snap a second image. He then creates a single image having the first picture on one side and the second picture right beside it.
Most people are able to relax their focus enough for the composite 3D image to pop into place. But, some never see them. If one IS able to see the image in 3D it really pops out at you.
Here is a sample of one of his images. Relax your eyes and begin to focus between the images, slightly crossing your eyes. This one is REALLY remarkable.
I have a gizmo that I have never used that allows the camera to slide from side to side. Some day, when I get some time I'll try it out.

Sorry, haven't been here in a while!
Went to Oregon recently. There I shot the Orion constellation. Single shot, 2 second exposure, Sigma 30mm f/1.4

And a nice volcano reflecting in a lake. Also using the Sigma 30mm. I love that thing!

Those are my favorites, there are others.
Photo ministry still slow to get started, but the "Urban Connection" ministry my church works with, which helps people in a very poor area get on their feet, has expressed interest in us taking Christmas photos of their people. So I plan to be all over that!
The crisis pregnancy center that we also work with wants some website photos. Personal photos might come later.

It almost feels as if the stars are rotating.
