Both of these were shot on Nikon D70's with Sunpak flashes (forgot the model we use at work). The first is my fiance at Toomers Corner on AU's campus with Samford Hall in the background. I used four masking layers in the RAW image. Original JPEGs are linked for FULL SIZE images, lol.

This rose was in the rose garden in front of Foy at Auburn's campus.

Shortly after getting the new camera, I was playing with long exposures at low ISO settings (on the stairs outside; I didn't feel like going anywhere), and ended up with this one. I'm sure I have the full-sized original ... somewhere.

We got some discreet northern lights a few weeks later:

Moving into the summer:

(The camera is an ixus 400. Nice little thing.)

Oh, and nweibley: Damn you for making me want to move south.

Beautiful shot! Soft focus done right.

You might consider rotating it slightly so that the blinds are level. It's not particularly distracting, though; maybe not worth worrying about.

Oh man, that shot would have had so much more "pop" with a c-pol. I you haven't gotten one, I suggest you get one, it really brings out shots like that. Not that that is not already an awesome shot.

lorcani · Aug 21, 2005

I just took this one tonight and, honestly, this is (IMHO) the best picture I have taken. Ever.

What do you guys think?

lightning

What do you guys think?

Looks great. How long was the exposure?

Since you showed lightning, here is a crop from a shot I took at the beach a few weeks ago...

1/8.

I was feeling daring, and it was happening every few seconds anyway.

Btw, that picture over the sea looks great. I've always wondered what happens to lightning out at sea.

bored in the afternoon

Was impressed by what this ultra-tiny camera was able to take while biking around DC last weekend. Photos were reduced in size by MSOffice Photo Manager and lost alot of quality in the process.

Probably an immature katydid of some kind. It can be tough to identify insects that haven't reached their adult stage yet.

HorsePunchKid · Sep 1, 2005

On the topic of creepy, I've already posted this in another thread, but it's gotta be one of my best, so here it is again:

Hooker · Sep 1, 2005

Hmm that is a very neat looking insect you have found there. I cant say i have seen one, where is that picture taken?

HorsePunchKid · Sep 1, 2005

I found that wheel bug out in a prairie-like field on the property where I grew up. They're pretty widely spread, so you might find one in California. Just be careful if you find one. They are mean little things.

jmroberts70 · Sep 2, 2005

Ok, I'll bite! Here's my favorite bug shot. Actually I am pretty proud of it. Managed to find this guy at the gas station one morning. Just happened to have my digicam with me at the time...

The pic is actually rotated CCW 90 degrees. He was hanging on a pillar looking down. His length is about 2 full inches! After I took the shot, zooming in on the image reveals just how amazingly well this bug manages to look JUST like an average green leaf!!

Oooooohhhhh... Wow - a photography thread in a geek forum. SWEET! A few of mine:

Head over to this thread which is a contest about how light interacts with architecture and enter that photo... you'll almost surely win!

And our fat girl, Ariel:

Both are my favorites, with the first one taking top nods.

This photo has potential but in its current form is not something most people would hang on their wall..

That top picture is great, the lighting is absolutely perfect

I was on that ship at the end of august. The fact that you took a picture of it is a bit weird. =)

Agreed.. Here's the best I could do with some quick work on it.

Slight color adjustments.

velusip · Sep 19, 2005

For panoramic image stitching: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html Probably not the best, but free and Canadian Made!

JediGuy_Bob · Sep 20, 2005

Awesome, thanks guys for showing me how it could look better. I plan on using the Canadian photostiching tool on my current trip!

Show off your best pics!
