Thanks guys for the comments
Bill, I was just too lazy to right everything out, U.R.C stands forupper right corner, sorry.
Oren, no, that lens is not for sale, I had to wait over 2 months just to get it.[]
Chuck,I believe the specularcircles are O.O.F terns in the distance.

I'll be going back for a better shot (and proper settings) later this week. I was experimenting.
PS: The next photo (see below) is not really a nature shot since the monkey is dead but I wanted to include it anyway. I had a 'sketch day' today at the National History Museum (dead animals) and at the croc pond (living animals that might as well be dead because they hardly move). I will be going back to both places to re shoot these images properly because they did not work out the way I wanted them to but I did both in a few minutes running around instead of taking my time. And when something works, but not quite the way I want it to, I go back and finish the job properly. Anyway: here is the sketch:

I've been lurking on this forum for a while so I thought this is as good a time as ever to introduce my self. My name is Vu, I'm an engineer living in the Bay Area. I wanted to give photography a try a year or so ago and have been shooting since. This is one hell of an addiction now.
Anyhow, here's a couple of shots that I thought would be fitting for this thread. These 2 shots were taken with my 40D, 70-200mm F4L IS, and Kenko extension tubes. I don't have the EXIF info with me atm but will post them when I get home.
Please feel free to critique and comments. Looking forward to interact with the rest of you on this forum. Have a great day.
One of my very first pics.

i shouldnt have kept the sun bang in the center. i was just too excited to hold a camera for the first time![]()
Hi Vu, welcome to The-Digital-Picture Forum! Nice shots, I think they could be sharper, looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Hi Daya, welcome to The-Digital-Picture Forum too! I like how you cropped/composed the first shot, good way to show off the cloud. I like the second's color, you can try to level the horizon, it's tilted.

Nice one, Keith.
Multiple exposures? How long did you leave the shutter open to get the lightning?
Thank you Sinh Nhut Nguyen)
Thank you for your comments.
In the 2nd pic the horizon got tilted because of the camera click i thinki will try to correct it. I am a BIG ZERO at pp and have only DPP to perform with. Havent read about tilt correction via DPP in its manual.
Afraid you can't correct tilted horizons in DPP[]
If you're like me and often end up with tilted skylines, this a real pain (are you listening Canon software design dept.?)
