9 Beautiful Photos That Call You To The Wild



All we are is dust in the wind... how is it that something so barren can still be so beautiful? Beauty can be found is the most ugly of places, it just depends on perspective and perception.


This picture is just breaktaking... could you imagine waking up to this every morning? Even if you were to "wake up on the wrong side of the bed" I think you would cheer right up after brewing that pot of coffee and seeing this in the morning..


Just another one of those beautiful mountain slopes that was recently dusted with snow... 


Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. 


Mini plant environment. Bring a little extra oxygen into the room.





Fog and moss... yup, this is definitely some Sasquatch territory. Honestly I don't care if there is a Sasquatch infestation I would still build a little cabin right here and be the nicest neighbors them squatches ever had. We would live in peace and harmony. 


Clear from the kings' mountain view...

Canon EOS Rebel T5 1200D W/8-55mm + 55-250mm IS II Lenses
The latest DSLR camera from the camera kings at Canon is the Canon EOS Rebel T5 1200D. This camera is considered a digital single-lens reflex camera and has 18.1 megapixels. Some people prefer to shorten it up and many in the camera community just call it the EOS Rebel T5 to make things easier.The EOS Rebel T5 is a great, if not one of the best DSLR cameras for beginners. The on screen features are very user friendly for beginners and of course there is much depth to the features as well for a more advanced photographer. With this being the latest Canon DSLR 2014, it shadows its predecessor the Canon EOS 1100D. This camera also shoots excellent looking 1080p HD video for the photographer more akin to motion photography.




What is different about the latest Canon 1200D VS 1100D?

One of the main focuses behind the newly undated Canon 1200D was to make it much better for videography. The Canon Rebel 1200D has Full HD 1080p @30fps. Whereas the Canon EOS 1100D only shoots 720p HD Video with a 12 megapixel camera vs an 18 megapixel camera. The 1200D also has a very nice continuous focus feature with color contrast detection that makes it that much easier to get those excellent in-focus movie shots. Overall, if you plan and doing a lot of video the Rebel T5 1200D would be worth the price difference for the updated video shooting features. Otherwise if you are just looking for a good DSLR camera for a beginner then you should probably just go with the Canon EOS 1100D. If you are looking to get into taken professional pictures on a relatively low cost these are both some of the best DSLR cameras around for beginners. Naturally, as new models come out the features get better at a lower price as the previous models and features become outdated.
