Looks like I missed a good bit of stuff in the past week – great shots Filter, MN Scout and botw! (and a bunch that aren't showing up from work today)

I just got back yesterday from my massive family road-trip out to CO for hiking in the Rockies. Should be posting a few of my many many new landscape shots some time soon.

I thought this turned out kinda cool.

That's a badass picture of the lizard

These were taken at the harbor in rockwall

Ah, good ol' Lancaster Boulevard. I miss the Performing Arts Center. I'm going back to visit my family in August (My Dad's getting married), so I think I'll take a stroll.

Holy crap! I didn't realize that was Lancaster (where I live). I guess it's a good thing that you got a good shot of the boulevard now since they're going to be putting in islands soon...

I just dont think there's enough images of pets. And photos taken with HD video cameras (camcorders)

what are those? they look like giant marshmallows.

Yeah, if you want super grainy piuctures at anything but the lowest of ISO's and want to waste the rest of your life developing them...

Do you use a 286 for your desktop machine?

I run a 1.7GHz P4 with a RIVA TNT2 and 768MB of RAM, so close but no cigar.

By the way my monitor is an ancient 14" Panasonic TN panel from 1998 or 1999. And you thought today's TN panels have bad viewing angles. CRTs hurt my eyes so not an option.

As for the film suggestion, it's probably the only way you'll get full frame for less than $2000. A $30 used film body, a couple of rolls of Velvia, and some mailers for development shouldn't top $100. As for scanning, film-capable scanners can be had for less than $100.

BB - love your vintage plane shots! Nice shots from Ben and MadFive too. I also feel a strange desire to go to 101doves.com (as soon as someone else confirms it won't infect my computer with all kinds of crap...)

A few of mine from today:

Trying this pic. again as it was too dull before :/


Shinjuku (aka. Tokyo)- Probably going to have to readjust the colours in this one as well.




Cheers.

Go round the corner you'd be at my friends work! This photo makes me miss it more now! It is a great shot though!

Yep. Funny thing is, my Mom commented on my facebook page when I posted the link almost the same thing as OmegaAvenger.. "Mountains and Marshmallows!"

BB - love your vintage plane shots!

Thanks!

This is just PERFECT!

Awesome shot. Got a diffuser/softbox goin' on there?

The rest are great as well, but that one just grabbed me.

[lorelei]

I absolutely love this picture for some reason, even though I dislike insects. Actually looks quite beautiful...

Thanks a lot! Bounced flash into the white built in cabinets behind me...

This is the top of the city's water tank. There is a forest fire burning in the background.

^^That is just awesome.

Excellent idea! HDR? Or just some aggressive tone mapping?

[MN Scout]

I think I found a new favorite lens. The 35mm f/1.8. Had been using my 50mm f/1.8 lens, but was disappointed in sharpness and contrast wide open, and it isn't the most friendly on crop boddies. I just got the 35mm in today, and so far I'm really happy with it.

I like this working distance a lot better than the 50mm.

f/1.8 ISO500:

f/2 ISO200 Cloudy day today, so not the best light. Though, the lens needs to be tested out!:

That's a great picture!! The clouds look grasping along with the green rolling hill.

Couple more flies from the backyard:

 

[ben chi(f4)]

Very nice. The 35 seems very nice, why didn't you go for the 24mm?

 

[MN Scout]

I'm not sure which 24mm you are referencing Ben. The 24mm f/1.4 is just too far out of my budget. I was just looking for a really sharp 35mm prime when wide open, and something that was a little more portrait friendly that didn't require me to back-up so much. I'm pretty well set on lenses right now. My next purchase will be a real camera bag, and then another bag set-up for when I'm backpacking. I've already spent too much on this hobby and need to start directing some of the funds to my supporting hobbies that will compliment and enhance the photography like my love of camping and biking.

If anyone has backpacked with a camera and 3-4 lenses (not the massive f/2.8 here) would you recommend a large fanny packish bag, or a holster style bag around the neck and 2 lens holders off the waist belt? I'd take along my 10-24mm, 16-85, and 70-300(non vr) and either the 35mm or 50mm prime.

botw, nice flies, love the detail on the eyes.

Haven't posted in a while, but I had a great day at work today and had to share:

LOL. OK I'll bite what exactly do you do that gets you a pie in the face at work

Hehe, I'm a database analyst, but I work for a call center with a lot of agents.

Basically it was an incentive to improve performance; if the staff meets a certain criteria, they get to throw a pie at their manager's face. Unfortunately for our management staff, it worked very well and all of the managers got to line up against the wall to accept several facefulls.

Although I wasn't involved in the contest (different department), I was drafted in as the photog for the event. My plan is to do a good enough job that I'll always be the photographer and never have to be on the receiving end of future 'incentives'...

Nothing but my E-510, trusty 35mm 1:1 and a bit of a flash.... brings me closer then I really want to be.
