no worries man
thats good, I've only really been shooting a year and a half but the amount of time I get to shoot is nothing! yeah that's the best thing to do, and posting here is a great way to get critique on your shots! haha well I did!And thanks
hope your not just saying that cause I like yours thanks, was on my dads computer so I couldn't look easily! cheers for that, interesting.. never really read into that camera, its a supposed 'professional one'.. interesting 35mm equivalent though, weird sensor size?
duuude.. your photos have improved so much! I remember when you first started posting on here I wasn't too keen on your shots (if I'm going to be totally honest) but this is such a major improvement, that is such a damn nice shot! Nice work with the new flash, I really need to get one, shows what messing with light can do! did you bounce the flash off anything? what lens did you use? your getting fantastic shots out of that little camera man, I had one for a year before getting my t2i. Anyway, keep up the good work, your portraiture work is great
Forgot to mention this was the first shoot with my new speedlight. Decided to get one rather than upgrade to a fullframe (few more months
ah right, cool! seems like a good camera! I'm one of these devout canon people thoughOlympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 at f/4, about 50 yards away (it's a fair amount of crop)
I was knee deep in the water- the lens w/ body combo E-5 is weather sealed.Does well even with a 2x teleconverter, which on Olympus makes 400mm = 800mm in 35mm equivalent.. perfect surf setup imo. Here's one wide open with the t/c, original resolution after crop.
click image for large size
Camera Model: E-3
Focal Length: 400.0mm
Exposure Time: 0.0010 s (1/1000)
Aperture: f/7.0
ISO Equiv.: 160
as I said, interesting sensor size! good pics though mine for today.. typical trees and sunset but I like it, nice view out of my dads window in Cheshire, UK. Shame about the crop but the foreground was a trampoline and some bushes

I really like this one. I love the use of b&w with its high contrast. My eye starts on the front left pillar, then is pulled to the right column along the shaft of light on the ground to the bright side of the right column, then the contrast pulls me to the dark side, which then pulls to the bright side of the back left pillar and eventually leads to the perfectly lit Washington Monument. Where were you standing? Lincoln Memorial? This is of course assuming that I am correct in guessing thats DC and not some other monument somewhere in the world.

Love the action, the angle and the colours.
Buddy of mine just started a new weekend brunch at his bar and asked me to take some photos today. We devoured the 8 plates of food and had a couple bloodies. It was a good time.

Yummy
... nice pic
Miserable weather here today, with heavy rain when it should be snowing

There is another monument just like the Washington Monument in the US. Can you guess where it is? I'll have pictures of it sometime in April to share because I'll be there.

This... this... ... niiiiiiiice...
This is the last of the mythical creatures shots. The Rok was another one too big for the frame. I did take one wide-angle of the whole thing, but it lacked the drama of this one. And look! I finally have a bird picture to share!

I have dinosaur fossil pictures from this same day, and I also have a series of pictures of Lilburn, GA old town (suburb where I live that is near Atlanta). Anyone have a preference?

@SVD thanks. I wasnt too keen on some of my earlier stuff either. I knew how I wanted to express myself but didn't know my camera well enough to. It's good to know my stuff is appreciated, thanks for the compliment. I only have the xs, 24-70L, and the speedlight. I do have studio strobes and backdrops and stuff but thats it.
I'm thinking camera upgrade for me in a few months when I get more practice in. I'll post another cool one from the bridal shoot, check it out
Thank you for the kind words. I love hearing what elements in a picture peoples eyes are drawn too and how they visually work around the image. That picture was taken from the Jefferson Memorial and the obelisk pictured is indeed the Washington Monument.
Here's another angle on it, I'm not sure how I feel about this one though. I would've liked to be in the middle of the street so the monument would be more visible in the gap right above the flag, but even so, the framing of the buildings directly on the right and left of the monument may have been too tight. Thoughts?
