Thanks Steve. I think the shot is definitely useable. To my eyes the noise is relatively low (amazing for iso 6400), while the focus is off just a bit (or maybe camera shake at 1/40s?).Quote:

What an incredible flower, those subtle changes of colour are beautiful.

Calgary's new Peace Bridge is a pedestrian crossing designed by Santiago Calatrava, and it's been open for just a couple weeks now.

Wow, that's without a doubt the best looking flower I've ever seen. Great shot!Quote:

@Mark, I wish we had some more water here, it looks really good.
Great shots everyone!
This time of your Holland Michigan is covered with Tulips. So I took a short drive to check it out.

My first attempt at "Black Glass" photography. This is 3 stacked filters giving me an 11-stop decrease. ISO 100, f22, 30 secs.

I like the blurred water and the color in the sky.Quote:

Actually that was just a couple minutes after sunrise. The sun was maybe 2 degrees above the horizon. The image was also lightened quite a bit. I probably could have gone to 45 secs, but that would have meant switching to bulb mode. (Easy enough to do, I just didn't.)Quote:

Thanks for viewing.
Really nice photo Franco. Very colorful.
Steve, that is a great shot and I don't really have a big love for dogs. The composition, depth of field and emotion really make it a shot where one would look twice at.
With the arrival of the Easter bunny I always get excited because it is time for my yearly cross-event. Lots of cars, sprinters, buggies, motors, quads, noise, petrol and mud is what enters my viewfinder. Unfortunately the event went professional this year so blunt auto-cross and thus crashes where pretty much out of the question. It was almost Nascar on dirt :o Some motocrossers lining up before the start:

Something I had never seen before: A transformed combine race. 500HP+ that burned out 6 foot tractor wheels. Really cool;)

Because it was raining the entire monday and the photographers all got a little bored waiting. We decided to do a Strongman competition between track cleanings:

Franco - Really nice colors on that. I love the colored bokeh above the flower.
Steve - You sure he is not looking for the cat.:rolleyes:
Jan - The tractors are cool. Not much like a tractor anymore.
I was asked to shoot a Little League game ... one of my business partner's asked for images of his Son.
I had to push ISO to extreme to get fast shutter speeds but I was amazed how well it worked. I shot straight JPEG from the camera and used DPP to resize them for internet presentation.

Wow. I knew the 1D line was good at high ISO, but that's incredible. Nice shot, too.
Nice shots, Jan. The guy "pushing" the tractor looks like Adrian Newey of Formula One fame.
Nice doggy portrait, Steve. I bet those dogs are anything but forsaken. :cool:
Nice shot, Franco. Nice bokeh and great color.
Kinda new to this, but thought I'd go ahead and share a few...comments/critiques are definitely welcome.

Sam, Very nice submissions, you really have a good eye for composition----if you are new at this I can't wait to see what you can do with experience.
Nice work.
Thanks! My wife actually has her bachelor's degree in Art and Design, so she has been giving me some composition lessons.
I'm keeping the flower shots going, both with 60D and 135L. The red tulip is at f/2, the white one at f/2.5 (limited by 1/8000 shutter).

+2, I especially like sambisu's solo flower. Yesterday I had planned to spend a few hours outside with the camera, but unfortunately the weather wasn't with me. Stuck indoors I couldn't figure out what to shoot until I decided to do some water drops - it's been a long time since last time I did that. I tried various lighting setups but came to the conclusion that I like a simple backlit setup best. This one is a bit different from most of the others.Quote:

This is what I like about photography... you can take something that you look at every day, stop the action, blow it up to see the fine detail, and it ends up revealing the hidden beauty that you never new was there. The cool forms that come out in a water drop, a close up of an ugly Coot (bird) and you find out it has these really neat red eyes and the way water beads up on it, the intricacies of the feathers on a bird, bugs and flowers up close are amazing, eyes (people and animals) just draw you in, you see sunrises and sunsets with a lot more appreciation, you start to notice the way light effects the way you see things, etc., etc., etc....Quote:

I burrowed a 180mm f3.5L from my father to do some macro for work. I was setting up the exposures on my light box with a razor blade and accidentally triggered my timer without noticing. This was the result. I thought it was kind of interesting.
