Note: I did not actually trip the shutter for this shot (or, rather, the three shots that were combined to create this image). However, I did choose the location, set up the lights, frame the shot, suggest the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture that were used, and post-process the image. So we'll call it a 50/50 collaboration... ;-)

Ohhhh I love that half hour exposure Ben. I have done a few shots like that, it is probably the most challenging photo I have taken.
I shot the end of the year "Pops Concert" at my high school. It was so much fun to shoot. After I shot the school's battle of the bands I decreed that concerts were my favorite things to shoot, this one disappoint. My friend let me borrow her 50mm f/1.4, which worked fantastically, the only problem I had was the DOF was too shallow, which is just awesome haha.
So here are some of the better shots from the night.
All shot with the Canon T1i and the 50mm f/1.4

Great shots everyone!
This is Jen relaxing as the sun went down with her iPad and a lit candle to keep some bugs away. I played with different exposures and liked the 2 second look best. How many iPads does it take to equal the power of one Speedlight? [:D]

I decided that I hadn't really pushed my star trails photo to the limits in post (in fact it was basically straight out of camera) so I made some edits, what do you think of the changes?

There
@thekingb: I love your sunset photo! The colors are beautifully warm and the clouds make the sun look like Jupiter!
Ben, the results are absolutely striking! The edits really brought out the cloudy, milkiness to the right. I keep on looking for some hidden image in it!
Everyone, thanks for posting so liberally on this thread! I'm new to the forums and this thread, and I love the feedback you guys give on all the photos. Photography has become a hobby for me and I'm really starting to enjoy the results. Please be as liberal with the critique - it's how I learn best!
Question: What are the general rules and/or etiquette to follow when posting photos taken of other people or their kids? I often take photos of friends and family and would love to get professional feedback on them but don't want to be disrespectful of privacy. For instance, I will never post any portraits publicly on Flickr without having consent.
Now, for my best current shots, I put my new 60D (yeah baby!) to the test this weekend with my existing Tamron 18-270mm DiII as well as my new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II and EF 85mm f/1.8 USM lenses. I'm somewhat color blind and it seems to have me prefer vibrant colors, so please let me know if I've gone overboard on any edits. I mainly use Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5.

I usually post Bird photos almost exclusively but I am currently in Scotland on a long planned and dreamed golf vacation with my brothers so here is shot from St. Andrews Old Course.....this is a 5 shot HDR hand held using the 1D3 + 28-135mm f/3.5 lens and Photomatix software.

Welcome to Scotland, Joel. Hopefully you'll get the chance to shoot plenty of birdies while you're over here. [:P]
Hi Goob, welcome to the forum. I really like your second photo, the HDR technique is not overdone, something that some people really like, but it
Wow, lovely shots Goob & Joel!
I'm not so sure I should be posting after those but here goes ...

Thanks Andy, unfortunately no time in our agenda and I didn't bring a long lens....too bad because (as you know) Bass Rock at North Berwick has a fantastic colony of Gannets.
I could see it from the golf course too.[:(]
Very very cool, Denise. Lovely feel lurvely tones in this shot.
Thank you, Steve!

Lovely B&W and composition on that last one, Denise.

Hello all,
Here are a few shots from this last weekend. Nothing horribly special, but decent shots nonetheless.
Thanks!

Denise, looks like your close enough you could touch these guys. Great captures. Did you crop the robin at all? Looks like you trimmed a toenail. [:O]
The robins do let me get pretty close. The one above flew up and perched on the fence right behind where I was sitting in my patio.

Hey John...I don't think of Beethoven when I see that moon shot.....I think of Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the Moon"...!! I like it though..
Here is a shot of Mason on a swing that's just a little too small for him. He had fun nonetheless...

Nice textures on all of these Gregg.
Please tell me that swing was moving flat out and you managed to snap it at 1.4 and it came out that sharp, if so extra special.
My son and I decided to go "check out" the motorcycle races in NH this past Sunday. It was father's day, the weather was beautiful, and I couldn't resist my son's request ;-)
It was quite impressive, and I managed to get a few shots.
