Greenville Photo of the Day

[RestedTraveler]

RT, what camera do you use?

It's a Canon EOS 350D with 2 lenses: Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC and Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM. At some point, I'll break down and buy the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Wide Angle Zoom Lens. I've been drooling over that one for a while now.

RT I really like that shot from Saturday. Its probably one of the best shots of Greenville's skyline I've seen to date.

[RestedTraveler]

Thanks, Spartan! I had you in mind as I was taking those. I remember you mentioning that you liked that view of the skyline and that it was used by FOX Carolina, etc.

...The "garden" design is very peaceful...like a Japanese tea garden.

...Did the DRIVE win? What does Greenville use as a "Drive" mascot? I am unclear about what is a "Drive"...???...a street? a motivation? a state of mind??? it's a strange name...

The Drive's mascot is a frog named "Reedy Rip' it." The Drive name came about due to the success and renaissance Greenville has made to their downtown and the surrounding areas over the past couple of decades. Also, the name was chosen due to the big automotive suppliers located here. It's the Drive to be the best, succeed, and conquer your goals.

"...the Drive to be the best, succeed, and conquer your goals...." ...The very things I, too, live for; I like that for Greenville...

as for whether they won or not...the game is not yet over. It will resume today at 5:05pm ET as the first part of a double header and will pick up where they left off in the middle of the 3rd inning with Mickey Hall due up to bat. http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/uploads/emojis_1f44d' alt=':thumbsup:'> You can listen live online at http://www.greenvilledrive.com/ , too.

Hey man, nice shot!

[Beowulf]

OK, I've been MIA for awhile. Here are a couple of HDR shots to make up for lost time...

..and one more non-HDR...

[goodbye]

Dang, that's awesome!

[RestedTraveler]

Oh yea, now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Folks, I've been out of town for a bit and don't have many photos of Greenville to add. It's nice to see Beowulf and Skyliner stepping up for the PoTD thread. I took some photos yesterday, but they were lousy and I'm too lazy to photoshop them , so I have nothing to add.

Even that Court Street / Saturday Market photo is so vivid it could almost pass for an HDR.

[goodbye]

I figured the same! Great work, Beowulf!!!

How was Jolly Old England, btw? It looks like you had some fun!

[carolinadude9409]

Wow, Beowulf. I feel jealous now. You guys should put these photos on postcards then get Dogs on Wheels to sell them at his hot dog stand or something like that.

That reminds me...you may definitely want to watermark your photos...somebody (not naming names) has been "borrowing" them for use on other forums. And as much as I want to help promote Greenville, I prefer to reserve the right to give permission for my intellectual property to be used in such a way.
