Wasn't quite the shot we were looking for....

Couple of my first test shots with the new 70-200. Wow, they sure look better on my monitor:(

some pics i've taken in washington

a couple seattle shots

Joe really like the city scape of Seattle, beautiful. Always love a good pup portrait:) nice exposure on the horse shot. The Startrails shot is nice, but the wires/cables are a little distracting for me.

Here's some shots from last nights high school football game. As you can see in the last pic, we got downpoured on for about an hour straight!

Joe, love the market pic, can't go wrong with the "downtown neon" shot!

Joe...loving that horse shot and one of Seattle. Nice work!

3 word s

Laziest dog i've ever seen!

pics
 

Awesome pics.

Coming home.

Wish the cones weren't in the way.

ben, love the 2nd dog pic (on the dock).

grabbed the nifty and headed to pike place market yesterday.

please check out more shots here.

Well done on the wine bottles, enjoyed the Pike gallery, good job with the flowers. Were you manual focusing most of the time? My fifty really "hunts" in auto. I'm inspired now, think I will dig mine out today;)

Here's a couple with my new Canon t1i

Awesome images everyone!

I just got contacted by Sunset magazine letting me know that they are going to be publishing this image in their November issue. I am prety stoked, this is the first time I have ever had anything published.

butterflies were everywhere this year

Some macro shots of those butterflies with the flowers would've been pretty cool! Still neat shots. Well here's my first attempt at star trails, from last night.

Contrats JJ-- that shot is SICK.

Here are a couple macro shots using a 100 2.8L macro lens. Just got it today and took these after right after I got home. I used a Sigma EM-140 DG Macro ring flash also. Got the Sigma today too. It supports ETTL but I just set it on Manual and 1/64th power and adjusted the aperture until it looked right.

Nice Rob, I've beed thinking about picking up a 100 Macro, did you get the IS verson?

Couple sunrise shots from Gulf Breeze FL. last week.

Randy-

I did get the IS version. The new 100 2.8L IS. It is pretty sick. Honestly, I don't really know why I'd need the IS though. If I am not using a flash I am using a tripod and if I am using a flash I am using 1/250th of second so still not a huge need for IS in my book. Really fun lens though. Going to use it for some portraits too.....

congrats jj! that's a sick shot!

randy, i switched back and forth between auto and manual. break out your nifty...it's definitely a lot of fun!

rob, nice macro. can't wait to see more from you shooting w/ that lens.

went to a creek by my parents' house to check out some salmon migrating. pretty cool when you've never seen stuff like that before.

Fantastic
 

All of your shots are incredible and inspiring. Thanks for sharing them

Why has this thread not started a 2nd page by now? seems like a long load time, maybe its just me. Pet picture. Swear, all this cat does is lay around. rough life.

Back at you Nick.

Harsh light but decent shots I think..... from Friday.

I wanted to do some long exposure shots of the Jeep but there was 0 moonlight to work with.

Terry Adams - Flatland BMX

Here's some video of him riding: http://vimeo.com/15546120

Kung fu,

Do you know what kind of truck that was in the red bull shot?

Sicks shots!

thats the Redbull MXT in that flatland shot

Nice Walt! That one looks a bit bigger, pretty color too!

These are with a WP Canon Powershot D10... very fun little camera.

One of my recent fav's. Been on a building kick lately

some from yesterday. still trying to get better at this. any help would be cool. thanks

I love visiting this thread, you guys make me want to go out and shoot!

Thanks for the inspiration :-)

My latest:

^ that's cool.

Bee pron with the "old" 100mm 2.8 macro:

Riley, cool prospective.

Chris, nice looking rig.

Jason you never cease to amaze me buddy. Did you get the new camera yet?

Secret tunnels under Fort Pickens, Gulf Breeze FL. built in 1840.

These two shots were 10 minutes apart.

From a wedding I shot this summer.

A couple of Minnesota's Target Field, taken earlier this summer.

ben, the last shot would've been cooler had it been a bit wider and in focus.

Cheap $55 wide angle lens adapter, bout as in focus as it gets :/ the original un-resized might be better res, but doubtful. the money is gettin saved up for an actual wide angle lens , believe me I can't wait!

Randy, no new camera yet, not available for a bit longer!

Great shots everyone.

Killed it Rob, it pays to get up early. Well done.

sick!

My son has been playing around with my back up camera, and took it on a hike with his girl friend. Came back with these, pretty decent shots for a rookie photog I think. CC welcome.

All shot with a Canon 40D and Tamron 17-50.

Props to your son Randy... nice shots. The last one is really nice. I like the way he framed the shot.

Nice Rob! Good to see a great pic of my local riding lake.

Randy, awesome shots by your son! those are really good if those are his "rookie" shots! I'm a big fan of that last picture, really cool framing through the wheat. That lightpost off her shoulder needs to be PS'd out, it's driving me nuts! :p

Thanks guys I will pass it on to Alex, Kind of fun to see him take an interest in photography, but I havent seen my 40D since :D.

Ben, me too, I saw it after I posted it, my bad. Has been removed now.

Lightpost removed.

that chick is hot.....

Rob, that sunset photo is amazing!

Randy, Alex is killing it with you D40, you better watch out ;-)

I love the shot of the lake Chris, awesome reflection!

Here are some from my new D7000, I posted some more in the D7000 thread.

jjakober- DOPE (as always)! How much post processing did you do to the first photo?

Thanks man !

It definitely isn't SOOC ;-)

Both shots are great but I really like the first one. Nice work !

sick jakober!

Jason, killing it with the new camera, congrats!! The 1st shots rocks. Now when are we going to see it in action with stuff blowing up, shot with a beebe, dropped etc, etc ;)

I went over to the Oregon coast for a couple of days, pretty much overcast and raining most of the time so the light sucked, Here are a few that I liked.

Great work guys... Awesome shots.

Here's a shot I took last night of our neighbors bulldog puppy.

Randy, those shots look pretty damn nice to me, even if the light wasn't that good!

Such a great thread to visit every day! Here is what my boy and I came up with while hitting the local skate park.

nice josh! clean your sensor!

Great shot Josh!

Really like your shot Josh, nice work!

Snapped this driving to work yesterday morning.

Thanks guys... I'm in the process of getting some cleaning done on the camera.

a couple blows from one of these is all you need.

Been a while since I posted in here. Jason, looks like that D7000 is treating you well! I'm hoping to upgrade cameras myself pretty soon, probably a 7D. I do too much high speed low-lighting stuff to be happy with my T1i, especially after shooting with a friend's 1DmkIV and straight 300mm setup :p. Here's a shot I took of my friend during one of his concerts. you can check out his music at myspace.com/dustinthomas , it's acoustic/soul style music. really good stuff, especially "g.u.t.s." and "fisherman".

Been a while since I have posted. Not a new photo but the post processing is new. Just messing around on a slow couple of days here.

sick rt!

nice chris...dig the macro! did you bump up the saturation in the waterfall pic?

here are my shots of waterfall (crane and construction site at the falls bummed me out), gears and river flow.

thanks joe that means alot coming from you. yep, for some reason i thought they looked cool way overboard on the green. do you get up to WA alot? havent been to the falls for years would be fun to go again and get some shots. i gotta figure out how to make the water look like the last shot. do you have to use a filter? thanks

are you saying i'm too cheap w/ compliments? :D

yeah, my family lives here.

nope, no filter...just good 'ol long exposure.

Na, I just know your not one to blow smoke up someones ass.
Every time I try it they are just over exposed. I need to understand my camera a little better I guess but I don't even know what I should start at. Just gotta shot more so I get it figured out

Never done those myself, but just use a higher f-stop if you want to shoot those river shots. Correct me if im wrong, joe? It's going to cut down on the light let into the sensor, hence the longer exposure but still correct light for the shot. Like I said, never done it myself so im not exactly sure how big of an f-stop adjustment.

Ben, you really need the slow shutter speed to capture that effect. Also a good tripod and release cord. This is a shot I took a couple weeks ago with my F stop @ 22 and a shutter speed of 1/3 sec. Tripod & shutter release cord.

My bad, I didnt really clarify that part. What I meant was he needs a higher f stop WITH that slow shutter speed. Because I'm guessing what Gravity is doing is using a slow shutter speed, but keeping a low f stop as well. When what he needs is that f22 like in ur photo, along with a 1/3 sec exposure

Sweet shot thanks for the help.

some shots of my buddy mike schwenne and downtown san diego

Amazing images everyone, this place is the best for inspiration!!

Trying some low light stuff:

Wow Joe... Great minds think alike and all that.....
I was just at Salish lodge with the wife this weekend and snapped a few pics. This one look familiar at all?

nice rich! what'd you shoot that with?

jakober, sick dude. how'd you do the 2nd one?

Canon 7D with my little "Nifty 50" Canon lens... also known as the plastic fantastic.
