Thanks everybody for the compliments! I thought the shot turned out really good, but it feels good to know that others think so too!

Wow Joel, absolutely excellent capture!
Yeah I will also say that the Canon 10-22 is a good rectilinear UWA lens, and I really like mine. If the fisheye effect is what you want to avoid, then this is definitely an option you should...
Thanks! I took some test shots to get the framing and exposure right, then I handed the camera to my sister who was on the trip with me and told her to stand on the spot I was standing, and then I...
So I got back from a trip a couple weeks ago where I took my 7D, 70-200 II, and 10-22 lens. I was hiking with a 65L backpacking pack, but I wanted to have easy access to my equipment without taking...

I haven't done much bird photography, but would like to get a little more into it and a little better at it. Got some photos of this owl attacking my dog and sister and me on a hike recently. 95%...

Went on a 7 day backpacking trip in northern Sweden a couple weeks ago and brought 3.5kg of photography equipment and didn't regret it for an instant! This is my dog taking a quick nap at the summit...
This is a 14 shot panorama of Seattle:

Brant, that shot of Niagara Falls is just beautiful!
Here are a couple from this summer in and around Seattle:

I have not yet, but still plan to. Some other projects took priority this summer so I didn't end up making the purchase yet. I will definitely post back when I have everything in hand!
I wasn't taking photos, but on the 12th I was on an overnight flight from Seattle to Iceland, so the route was very far north. Looking out the window was absolutely surreal. The entire horizon...
I saw this photo on my phone through the Flickr app, and thought to myself "That looks a lot like the night photo of the church I took in Colombia." Then I logged in here and saw the captions! I...
Went on a hike yesterday evening with my dog and my sister so that I could take some photos of the sunset from the top of a mountain. Unfortunately there was a lot of cloud cover so it didn't turn...
Did a 6-shot HDR of the sunset last week in Priest Lake, Idaho.

Ok, so I needed a cover photo for my master's thesis report. It needed to look good both in color and black and white for printing purposes. I wanted the photo to really capture the reader's...
Really good entries so far. I have one I think will be great for this assignment that I took last week! I need to make sure I have permission to post the photo online first though.
Took some photos the other day to show it in better detail than the website has:

Sean,
For #1, that's why I mentioned making a 45 degree top plate, because then you could get to vertical and 90 degrees without changing the setup. Or an L-plate would work. I actually was...
Hey guys, I have to share what I ran into at work today. I am using a very high performance camera system to measure wheel angles and displacements for some testing on a vehicle. Basically there...
Brant, I'm no expert but I think you can get some more depth to the milky way if you take longer exposures and stack them. 15 seconds might not be enough for the faint light from the milky way to...
Definitely post back here after your trip! I have wanted to plan a trip to Iceland soon, possibly for next year when the total solar eclipse happens which should be centered right around Iceland.
I have only used the Canon 100 f/2.8 (non-L, non-IS, non-USM) on a crop sensor and it is absolutely remarkable. I have read that the image quality difference between the 3 different versions of the...
