Hi all. Rache, 38, redhead, amateur photographer has been told I "have a good eye" (I hope the other is OK too!) I love photographing nature, plants and scenic stuff, particularly sunsets and sunrises. Don't seem to have much joy with people though! I am a sci fi costumer (Sandtrooper & Ghostbuster), drive a Lotus, love motorsport and gardening, scuba, WW2 avitaion, and I'm getting into beekeeping. Single and childfree by choice!! I'm self employed but also work part time at a Uni. My brain-mouth filter fails me occasionally but I generally think out of the box and say what I think. I'm also a regular at the BURNING MAN FESTIVAL in Nevada, which is a Photographer's DREAM - see these pics (not mine) and I'm going back this August, can't wait!

I use a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 which I don't really like so am looking to change, but I can't afford a "proper set-up" at the minute. My dream is a full on macro setup as I LOVE close-up stuff. Heading out today in the Lotus with my friend to do some exploration of the Norfolk countryside with our cameras. Just need the bleedin' sun to shine!

Here are some of my ultimate fave pics I've taken:

Sunrise over the skies of Cancun - taken from a dirty plane window:

Welcome and thanks for posting some images 'up front' - I wish more people would do this...
Motors and cameras - you've come to the right place...
 
nice shots Rache but I have an issue with you, you are not ginger, you have golden hair. I have spent the last 4 years telling my daughter that since she was born :):):)

Welcome Gixer and may I say you have a lovely set.
 
I'm auburn and proud but don't mind the "ginger" tag either way, it's nice to be different ;)
 
Hi Rache. Nice bunch of pics... especially the lagoon. Hope you have fun here.

Marc.

P.S. Envious of the Burning Man visits. :)
 
Hi Rache :wave:, and :welcome: to TalkPhotography :).

Those Burning Man sites you've posted, excellent shots in there :thumbs:. Sort of, reminds me of the movie series Mad Max :thinking:
 
They have a Thunderdome at Burning Man each year, bungee cords, the works - you can climb all the way to the top and look down on the action, the atmosphere is awesome - Health & Safety doesn't exist at BM - if you fall and break your neck it's nobody's fault but your own :D
