Experimenting with your camera can really help in getting a great image, and that's what I did and was able to capture this one. It was taken in Los Angeles, CA. in one of the Trader Joe's Store in the area. Nature and the enviroment is filled with beauty, even inside a grocery store. You just have to look and be observant, lol. Photo taken by Dominick M. Dimacale (United States) - Nature

I recently went to Cainsville Utah with about 35 riders to photograph them. Cainsville Utah is a very desolate place that is not even on the map. But, it is extremely well known for motocross riding and is featured in most major motocross movies. I was very fortunate to catch my friends riding at this incredible location.

This is my dog Peanut. I just love her ears, they make me laugh. I took this pic just a couple days ago in my backyard as she played with her ball. It was a great action shot as her feet are still in the air...lol Photo taken by Nikki Saathoff (United States) - Animals/Pets
