wow that looks really greatim really loving the t2i, i cant wait to get mine next month!
may i ask, do you not think better results could have been produced at a sharper aperture (say, f8-f11), a lower iso and longer exposure? great photo nonetheless! hope to hear back from you about your choice of settings, as im really starting to learn the in depth stuff now
not one of my best but i havent submitted for a while so oh well....
c&c welcome
I had a hard time getting this shot right because it was so far from me and it was dark. I never do B/W photos ever but when playing around with the sliders, the picture got 'better' as the colors began to disappear. Basically I used b/w to coverup the crap exposure and soft focus.
My typical T2i setting has moved away from A priority to more Manual within a couple of months. As long as I can control the shooting environment, I'd lean on manual settings and shoot RAW.
I think this pic is great as it is, would it look better in color?

ahh fair enough
haha, just remember that b&w isnt always for that and can sometimes be used to manipulate images in very powerful ways! And ah i see! I've shot from manual since day 1 though, so its different for me. If i cant get a shot though, (ive done it twice) i will put it on Av to see what the camera does with it... i feel as if i cheat when i do this though! guess thats just me haha. that is a fantastic photo nonetheless though i finally got myself a tripod so i cant wait to take some more photos! Thanks, Just whipped this up in PS real quick, here you go:

Hello
for starters, it looks as if the main attraction of the photo (the flowers) are out of focus, either than or motion blur. Did you shoot this with a tripod? If so, 1/160 is far too slow! remember your shutter speed should always be higher than your focal length to minimize motion blur. This may include upping the ISO and dropping the aperture (resulting in more grain and less sharper photos respectively) but this should end in a better result. The rebel xs (or 1000d, we have the same camera ) is not great in low light though! hope this helps 
Shooting wide open in the Nisqually Delta. Didn't see the bug until I got it into post.

Really cool colors, and a very interesting fish...
Very nice colors and balance in this shot.
This reminds me of being down in lower Baja... often you'll see small fishing pangas (boats) floating just off the beach in calm waters or bays tethered to the shore. In this one the atmosphere is perfect with the mistiness...
Just another stunning landscape. All I can say is... "art."

Nice depth of field work here... nice color tones. See, this lens would work fine in the 50mm challenge if we had one... I'm sure it looks great at 50mm.Shooting wide open in the Nisqually Delta. Didn't see the bug until I got it into post.

Young One
He was very curious about me, being so close, I couldn't get a good focus on the head/eye because he was constantly looking at me and a place to get away.
C&C always welcome

fresh off the camera.. From tonight...
Nice shot of Multnomah Falls! Here is one I shot back in '05 when I was first getting into digital photography:
Canon PowerShot S2 IS @ 1/50s, f/3.2
Was going through some old shots taken in NYC and found this. The original was taken in landscape orientation with a wide-angle lens. I cropped it for a vertical orientation, since the focus was clearly the bridge architecture which is very vertical. The landscape version is still filled with converging lines but I felt the emphasis on the bridge structure made a better image overall. Can't remember if I posted the landscape version in a POTD thread--I don't remember doing it but it's possible. If so, I am sorry for the repeat. I just really liked this version....
Frown fish
LOL Great shot. I've heard of the Clown Fish. This is the first Frown Fish I've seen !

Thanks! If I remember correctly, he or she is a shortnose batfish, one of many unusual creatures we've seen!
