The instrument panel is a little indistinct; is that deliberate? If so, can I suggest it needs to be even more indistinct so that the focus is even more on the child? Alternatively, make the instrument panel much more distinct and you could have a contrast between the softness of the child and the hardness of the chopper. I've a background in aerospace and am drawn to helos and planes.

It's currently blowing up on 500px. Would really appreciate a "Like" or a "Favorite" if you're on 500px. Never gotten a 90% or above.

Not on 500px but amazing shot! The juxtaposition is what makes it for me.
Wonderful shot! Put it on my Fav on 500px.
It was by design. Two weeks of preproduction went into this... to get a ballerina in the desert. There is a lot more to come.
Thanks a bunch. I gave both you (or I assume it's you lol) and Empty Quarter a follow. Much appreciated. Also, soooo close. Just can't get over that hump. 88.5% right now.
Thanks for the follow. I haven't put anything on 500px. The images there are way above my level, feel very intimidated. Big fan of your work.
^^ Wow - great city shots!

Edit #3: Here let me add an image to keep this a photo thread.
Also up on 500px.
That's it for me this week. Catch you guys next week.
This. I hope to get back to photography with full swing this year as time permits and contribute to this thread a little (I will need to step up my game to even come close to you guys ). Haven't shot more than a few frames this yearDaggah and Empty_Quarter's landscape shots blow anything I ever did in that realm out of the water. It's hard work and they got skillz. Just straight up.

I'm low on frames this year also. I'm biking every day to train for my big bike tour and there are only so many pictures I can take of the same locations. The pictures will come during my bike tours.
Get a GoPro and an iPhone (or whatever your cellphone flavor is). Always a project you can do on the go. Don't knock the cellphone camera, tons of projects you can do with just that. Jeremy Cowart's coverage of Apple's Spring Forward event with just an iPhone was pretty incredible. I bet people that didn't know better on Instagram thought he was using much more sophisticated hardware.
You won't see me dissing cellphones and Go Pros as picture taking devices. I have a handful of favorites from my 500 mile bike tour in MN last July that were taken with my Galaxy S4. I really like the panorama function that can give me 24+ megapixel photos. I'm normally happy enough with the panos, that I don't even take out my D800 and tripod. Often times on my training rides it is a decision to either stop and take photos or to put the miles in.

Those are some nice panoramas. Are you just using the built in camera app or something else? I have started messing around with panoramas on my Galaxy S5 but I havent had much luck so far.

Thanks guys! I think Empty Quarter is way better at the scenic stuff than I am though. But I'm very happy with how my shots have been coming out recently.
^^ I definitely know the feeling. Been slacking for a couple years now, but I'm trying to get back into it this year. So far so good! Still wish I had the opportunity to do as much traveling as EQ and some of you others.
Here's some from the aquarium in Boston a few weeks ago.

Like the dragon.
Who doesn't?
Did you try the composition with some ground on the bottom right of the frame, or some creation of movement of the gal coming from the right?
I've been trying to do something with my pictures in the physical world lately. Worked for a week on a photo book from Shutterfly. Daily photo journal of a bike tour. Just submitted it, since they had 50% off all sizes and it stacked with a free 8x8 coupon that gave me another $30 off. Ended up at $26 shipped instead of $85. I sure hope it looks OK.
I got another email today from AdoramaPix. They have 60% off their lay flat photo books expiring the 22nd. Code PXSAVE60. They use actual photo paper for these books. If I hadn't spent days laying my book out in Shutterfly's interface I would have submitted it to AdoramaPix instead. Searching through my emails I can't find any coupons that get remotely close to 60%, most is 30%.
Also have 4 empty picture frames waiting for some prints from BayPhoto. Biggest one is 24x33.
Latest work. I'm almost done getting all of the stuff from this shoot out there. Another 6 images to go I think? I won't spam it all in here though.
