These were both with a Canon S3 IS. I am thinking there is some post-production that has been done. Great pics either way...

Those are awesome. I wish I could take pics like that...I'll keep trying 'til I get it though.

^^^ Talk about a money-shot! :thumbsup:

That is gorgeous....when do all our lightning storms start up in Colorado?

[ColoradoSkier]

I saw lightning in a storm as I was flying into DIA last night.

those are lovely too. totally makes me want to head to some place tropical....


You have to be in the right place at the right time for those kind of shots....

[ColoradoSkier]

I saw this today and really like it. Hadn't thought of taking a pic on a merry-go-round...

[thenimirra]

nice use of shutter speed. What a great panning shot...could have used that idea for my photography class assignment!

I'd take her... um... picture... anytime!

That is a pretty clever picture idea though, I have to admit.

[thenimirra]

she doesn't look like the kind of girl you were eyeing that night at PolyEsthers....

[ColoradoSkier]

Any chance we can stay on topic in here?

[thenimirra]

do you know what the settings were for that shot....

[ColoradoSkier]

Click on the image, then go to "More properties" (on the right side)

[thenimirra]

it doesn't tell me what the f-stop, ISO and shutter speed were though....

[Jake_Blues]

Any chance we can stay on topic in here?

Ummm... almost none :D Hormones are a bitch.

Just to stay on topic, here is a picture of Lefty:

Well, I eyed more than one, but she DOES look small in that merry-go-round!

[thenimirra]

he/she had to be using a tripod to get that shot though....don't you think? do you think the shooter was actually ON the merry-go-round too or were they shotting from afar?

I'm pretty sure the shooter was ON the merry-go-round. It would be the easiest way to get that sort of shot. You wouldn't need to keep the shutter open all that long to get that much blur if the guy was pushing the merry-go-round at a good clip.

x2 - If you look at the perspective, I am thinking absolutely they were on it.

[thenimirra]

what settings do you think he had, Eric? I can't tell if was shooting in the shade or in sunlight. My guess is that is ISO was about 100 to 200...

[ColoradoSkier]

Tempted to buy that 350D, given it takes shots like this...

[GrayT]

The 350D does take excellent pictures. I wouldn't classify that as an excellent picture, though.

A couple of me playing with my new lenses.

The camera body is still the Pentax k110d. Most were taken in full auto mode. Some were taken with the selector on "action."

80x200 zoom

Does it count as macro if it was taken from 10 feet away?

And a couple wide angle (17-28) shots at the climbing gym. (Not me climbing, just a friend.)

That is an impressive 10' macro!

That's what I said. I'm not often shocked by hardware. Lenses are so cool. One of these days I'm going to own a 300mm/f2.8 zoom. Then I'll be the man...

Couple of my favorite from the Erie Balloon launch this morning.

I have tons more. I'm impressed. Every picture taken this morning is a keeper for one reason or another.

[ColoradoSkier]

Great colors.

Here's another one I stumbled across...

those balloon shots are great. Hey Marty, where is that cool balloon shot that you took?

[rubbersidedown]

I need a better camera. . .I wish these shots would have come out better!!:(

Noah, what makes you think these shots suck? The DOF on the first one is really interesting and draws you through the image. The nature shots are simple and beautiful too. I would photoshop the last one and try to add some light on your subject.

[GrayT]

That last one looks like someone yawning while on a tree branch... lol
