I took this a few days ago while I was in Vancouver. It's a panorama that's comprised of ten or so images.
This looks fantastic! Love the colors.
Cute photo of your little Danboard. I think that's what you call it.. Is this guy ever going to wear out? What will you do then???
Dale
Yes! Danboard or Danbo for short. Never going to wear out! Never... EVER!
Here's mine I took after todays WHL Hockey game. It's nothing great but I wanted something to reflect back on today. Gaints won it 3-0 against Prince George Cougars. Go Giants go!
Was going through some old film photos and found a few I had scanned in. They have some scan artifacts which I never bothered to fix in Photoshop. They were all taken 1995 to 1998ish. I like to convince myself that I've gotten better over the years, learning from past shooting. Not sure that's really been the case though.
This one was shot in the Philadelphia museum of art with an N90s. People waiting to get into a traveling Monet exhibit. I've always liked the grumpy old man in the left-center of the photo. Can't remember which film I was shooting at the time. I think it was a color film that could be processed as B&W. Ended up with some funky color shifts in the negatives.

Posting tomorrow's a bit early. But won't post another until Monday.
Woke up this morning and noticed this as I was walking downstairs.
Took another shot from the same vantage point but with a wider angle lens later today. The light had changed dramatically and the field of view changed dramatically from a 90mm lens to a 28mm lens. Wanted to show the following as I felt it illustrated how lighting and composition can have a dramatic impact on an image. Same shooting position. But the differences in lighting and composition (tele to wide angle) result in two very different images.

The difference is very striking. I definitely like the lighting on the first photo. Is the blue a shadow on the roof of the shed?
I don't do a lot of posed portrait photos because I have no flash other than the pop-up on my camera, and I have no studio space in the house, either. Getting a speedlite is outside my budget for a while. So if I'm going to do a portrait, it is pretty much natural light only.
My younger daughter got a new hairstyle today, so I decided to use her as my picture today to show it off. It was taken late this afternoon to reduce the harshness of the sunlight.
(fcortese - this is also a nifty-fifty lens shot at f/2.8)

Yes. I composed the shot with an eye on the background. Specifically I changed my perspective to make sure that there weren't any distracting elements in the background. The snow on the roof of the garage made it easier since I could compose without random colors or patterns making it into the final image. Compuwar taught me the value of paying attention to the background. It's easy to focus on the main element when composing a photo and ignore the background--our brains are designed to do this. The camera sees everything in its field of view though and the things you "didn't really notice" will turn up in your photos and become distractions. Learning to appreciate the background elements is vital when learning photography. It's as important as understanding how light effects your images.
