magellan315 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Great pictures, you really need to post the one of the car in the river in the vehicles getting stuck thread. Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 (Maybe the car is the cache!) Excellent photographs! I love seeing geocachers, geocaches, and scenery from other countries. Very well done. Quote Link to comment
+2qwerqE Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Top notch photography! Thanks for posting your link. What, no captions? What is that weird snake skin fish head looking thing?! And that odd plant, looks like 3 curled pods? What are those? Quote Link to comment

_CJ_ Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) I was pleased to read that people are interested. Our community has created many great caches but all of their descriptions are in Russian, and there are just few common caches with .com website. In any case, thank you for your kind words about photos. There are some more from geocaching.ru that I collected few weeks ago from photo albums of all Russian caches. The comments are in pure Russian but URLs are still clickable http://www.geocaching.ru/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=10264&t=10264 Edited December 15, 2004 by _CJ_ Quote Link to comment

Clive & Helen Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 great pictures very inspiring might have to visit Russia some day - even looks great weather Quote Link to comment
madratdan Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Plutic, Please do tell what kind of cameras you are using in Russia. Does Russia have their own brands like we (the USA) have Kodak? Do you import all your cameras? Quote Link to comment

Hi there, all the cameras are the same - Canon, Olympus, Nickon - the markets for these are international:) We used to have good film cameras, but I do not think we have digital models.

+The Cheeseheads Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Top notch photography! Thanks for posting your link. What, no captions? There are popup captions if you hold your mouse over a picture. Of course, they're in Russian... Quote Link to comment
mufasa1023 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I really wish I could have seen more of the country when i went to Russia. I only got to see Moscow and St. Pete's. Thankyou for showing me some of its beauty! Quote Link to comment

+cacheKidds Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the great pictures, especially the truly beautiful Orthodox churches. It reminds me of my time there as a Russian language student right before the USSR collapsed. Russia (and Russian food) is awesome! Edited December 17, 2004 by cacheKidds Quote Link to comment
+Jennifer&Dean Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Also, please indicate here the photos that you liked the most. We are voting for the photos on the geocaching.ru site and it should be fun to know the opinions of others. Thanks! I really liked the old stone bridge one and the one with the rainbow above the dirt road. The two puppies is an amazingly sharp photo, very cool. Great pics on that site, thanks for sharing them! -Jennifer Quote Link to comment
Canep Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi there, all the cameras are the same - Canon, Olympus, Nickon - the markets for these are international:) We used to have good film cameras, but I do not think we have digital models. I know many russian cachers, who use digital cameras. Exactly, most of cachers, who I know, use digital cameras. Only one use digital SLR, and other take his shots with automatically digital cameras ("цифромылницами"). Quote Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 (edited) I'd just like to chime in and say "Wow, NICE photographs!" Wow, NICE photographs! Edited December 17, 2004 by New England n00b Quote Link to comment
davwil Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 (edited) WOW! There are obviously many talented photopraphers in your Geocaching community in Russia! If I had to vote for my favourite it would be: Фото от Alexandr_Bel My first 35mm SLR was a Zenit E. I was 16 when I bought it and learned many good lessons while using it. Very good camera to start with... It didn't have a light meter so it forced me to learn the basics and build from the ground up. Dave Edited December 17, 2004 by davwil Quote Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Awesome photos. Such a beautiful country. Hope I get to visit someday! Loved the fish head! Quote Link to comment
_CJ_ Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Here are some from Missouri, USA Nice photos, thank you. In fact, geocaching.ru is not a professional photo community, so I doubt that the samples at .ru site may be compared with those beautiful works you find at photo.ru or any other website of this kind. In fact, it is only the first attempt to emphasize photography as "geocaching style". P.S. davwil, I also started with Zenit E Quote Link to comment
+Jeep_Dog Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Absolutely stunning photos! Blast you, plutnik, now I have to schedule a geocaching trip to Russia. From the photos, I think such a trip would be very rewarding. Ah, well, with all the controversy here in Texas, perhaps it is better to step out of the republic for a couple of weeks and geocache somewhere else... Quote Link to comment

+Cocacola1820 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Some beautiful shots! Makes you want to pack your bags and head on over! Thanks for the photo journey..... Quote Link to comment
+Car54 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I agree with everyone else - those are amazingly beautiful pictures! You have some gorgeous scenery in your country. I really like dogs, so the photo of the 2 puppies is probably my favorite. I can't imagine how the photographer got 2 young puppies to sit still that long! I also like the one of the 2 cachers in what looks like a cave - the smiles on their faces remind me how much all of us are alike in our enjoyment of geocaching.

+the hermit crabs Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Wow, what terrific pictures. As I was looking through them, I was thinking that you should make a calendar using some of them. By the time I was finished, though, I was thinking that there was no way you could narrow it down to just twelve. Too many great shots in there! Thank you for sharing them with us.

+clearpath Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I've looked these photos over many times in the last couple of days and they are all great. IF I had to pick one ... it would have to be this one. The detail and object placement is excellent. Whoever took these photos should open a gallery and make some $$$. Thanks again for sharing.
