Inside the Nuremberg Castle Tower

Nuremberg Castle Tower
Here's a cool shot looking up from inside the bottom of the Nuremberg Castle Tower in Germany.  It was extremely dark in this tower so the shot came out a bit grainy -  espcially considering I only had my canon SD790IS point and shoot camera with me.  Nonetheless, at smaller sizes I think you might still be able to use this free stock photo for something.

Penn State Beaver Stadium

Beaver Stadium
This photo is from the Penn State / Syracuse game in October 2009.  I came so close to getting all the letters in Penn State.  I need a better camera with a little less shutter lag.  Trying to figure out how much to lead a bunch of running cheerleaders to compensate is not that easy!

Nuremberg Panoramic

Nuremberg Panoramic
Here's a panoramic shot from my trip to Nuremberg, Germany shot from the top of the castle tower.  Unfortunately, I can't upload this one to the stock photo sites either due to the rain.  Hopefully you enjoy it and post here how you have used my free photos.

Restaurant Heilig Geist Spital

Heilig Geist SpitalThis photo is of the outside of Restaurant Heilig Geist Spital in Nürnberg, Germany.  Unfortunately, it was raining the day I was there and you can see the rain making streaks through the photo if you zoom in at 100%.  I think the photo still looks good at the sizes most would look at it, but it certainly won't be accepted by any stock photo sites.  As always, all you need to do to use this photo free is post a comment here.
