Just curious, anyone know what kind of phone the guy was taking the picture with in front of me? I have never had a smart phone so I don't know much about them.

Dusk in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Is there a reason you used ISO 400 for a still shot? I am new to digital photography and always thought you wanted to use min ISO unless taking photos of moving objects?

The long streak in this image is the flare of an Iridium Satellite. I got the image while out with a friend trying to photograph the elusive Northern Lights in the first week of August... No luck with the Aurora Borealis, but it was fun to go out tripod shooting at midnight anyway.

Long Meg and her Daughters. Though relatively unknown, this stone circle is actually the second biggest in UK, more than 100 metres in diameters...

Mostly for what I thought were practical reasons. I wanted to go with the smaller aperture to ensure focus and detail, and the light was failing at the end of the day. And I didn't have a tripod. I set the camera on top of my wallet, on a parking garage wall, used the 10-second delayed shutter, and tried to hold it as still as I could.

It's been a weird summer for sunsets (and light in general) in California - glad to see you could capture some color!

This is an image of a friend designing my new logo. The new logo can be seen on this image for the first time.

Looks to be an HTC, but I'm not sure what model, if you have any better shots of it i could tell you...

Thanks! It was almost surreal watching the light and colors change. I took about 10 shots over the course of 15 minutes or so and the changes between them is quite noticeable. Gotta love that second sunset.

OK, here is one of the first shots I took using a new ND filter I got. Played with the file a bit in Camera RAW and Elements 8.

 

[OrangeCuse44]

Jones Beach, Long Island

I used a CP and 3 stop singh-ray reverse ND grad filter for the shot

Awesome shot, dude. Maybe a silly question: how do you get your flickr link like that in your sig??

I would imagine he just changes the colors of the letters and bolds the Hyperlink?

I don't know if this technically counts as a photo, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I did this in my PHOTO 1 class last year in High School, and we brought objects to put under an enlarger so the outline will develop onto the photo paper. The "ghostly" look is from some light getting into the paper, but also some of it being blocked off. I used a cassette tape in which I took out the "tape" and I used some old negatives my dad had.

found this guy in backyard today.

I really like this photo, but I think a tighter crop might make it more appealing. Getting rid of the audience and just leaving the girl alone.
