I was playing around a little a few days ago after I washed my car. I wanted to get a picture of it with the sunset in the back ground, but my nice lens is too telephoto. This is a 30 second exposure. I like the colors that came out.

Oh yeah, and who's excited about the new Canon and Nikon cameras that are coming out? I think I'll be getting the canon 40D. I'm borrowing a friend's Canon D60 right now. And the autofocus is sooo slow (as well as most of the other features). It still takes good pictures though, if there is enough light.

Nikon: h0000ray we finally get full-frame (D3)!

Canon: Buy our 40D, we promise it's a worthwhile upgrade to your Rebel XTi (400D)!

I got a bit bored after cooking the Evo's brakes, so I decided to walk out to the fence and see how close the 200mm would get me. Grabbing a shot of a friend in his GT2 and I wound up with a nice little series of the 'Vette that was chasing him.

It's not so much the photos as it is the subject in this case.


It's a 3rd/4th gear turn in the Exige - 4th gear hauling butt in the Evo. A well-driven GT2/GT3 flies through it and a well-driven 'Vette looks like a big handful of drift through it.

Guess i'll post some. I'm not that good, and my camera is just a Cannon Powershot A540. None of these are too good, i just like them.

Took this on campus just as an afterthought. Didn't try and do anything with exposure times, just happened that my room mate walked through the picture and ghosted himself.

View from the top of the Head wall of Tuckermans Ravine on Mt Washington

No photoshop here. they honestly messed up painting this at my school

Took this back in high school. Or rather my friend took it as i was driving.

A few from the fourth this year. No fancy tripods, just set the camera down beside me and pressed the button. as a result some got a slight bump which moved the picture a little, but i like these.

Since when was a fisheye, a landscape lens? You are confusing ultrawide with panorama.

They [fisheye lenes] are often used by photographers shooting broad landscapes.

"Photographers and videographers use fisheye lenses so they can get the camera as close as possible for action shots, for example in skateboarding to focus on the board and still retain an image of the skater."

"...fisheye lenses quickly became popular in general photography for their unique, distorted appearance."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens

I don't have problem if you don't like them, what I resent is some kind of photographic rulebook being applied. I don't do passport photographs!
