I shot probably 500 pictures taht day, and about half way through I was looking at my LCD and realized the "freeze" photo of a really fast shutter speed didn't do these cars justice. They didn't invoke motion. So I slowed way down and panned and got these.

Well, after posting some of those pics up last night I got in the mood to go out and see what I could do tonight(haven't really felt like taking pics much lately). About a 20 minute hike to the bottom of the falls I was already frozen, lol. Only hung around for about a half hour, managed to get about 10 shots. This is one of my two fav's. It was taken well after dark. Just a quick and dirty PS job, but there's not much more I need to do to it. Haven't touched any of the others yet. -George As usual, feel free to comment on it. I can always use some constructive critisism or en(dis?)couragement, haha.

Thought I'd throw a few shots up here for you guys(and girls) to take a look at. Not really new or anything, all taken since June. Feel free to comment if you like. . . . And one of my niece, awwww. lol I'm not sure exactly what that was she put on her head, lol. Enjoy -George Edit: Photobucket did something freaky with that first one .... sky got pixelated, blah.

http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/...sp?product=1192 or I was looking at this one http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/page2.asp

so im looking to get heavily into photography and editing and im thinking of picking up a powerbook with G4 because the new ones with intels are dang expensive and also the powerpc ones are getting cheap! I want this program http://www.apple.com/aperture/

Ok, lets talk about aperature for a sec. The terminology confuses the hell out of me. So as you go up the line from F1 up to F22 the opening that allows light to go through gets smaller, correct? 1/1 > 1/22. So, then from my reading it tells me that going 1 F-stop larger gives you twice as much light. If I'm shooting in F5.6 and some says you should step up an F-stop, should I be moving to F4 or F8? Here's my confusion, the way aperature is recorded/viewed on the camera lenses, in my head stepping up would be going from F5.6 to F8. But, if you think about it in terms of diameter of opening, stepping up would be going to F4 because the diameter of the lens is getting bigger. Which rationale is "correct" in the photography world. It always confuses me.

Can someone explain film speed? Just bought BGB's old 35 mm and the wife went out yesterday to bought a pack of 200 and a pack of 800 speed. What are the differences? We are going to vegas today which roll would you have in the camera?

At the Hayward gallery in London they are exhibiting work of Dan Flavin. Flavin used fluorescent lights in a minimalistic compostion to portray his subject and ideas. Here is his ubermicrosite Dan Flavin You can also see some of his work here at The Guardian newspaper. Theres an especiallyy nice picture that includes a visitor to the gallery

I dreamed up the 2006 Camaro "Chief" by taking a 1998 Camaro Z28 and adding a 1968 Camaro 396 SS front end. This is my dream car project. I buy a 1998 Z28 with less than 50,000 miles, then get the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering folks to work the drivetrain. Lastly, I get a custom shop to fabricate a '68 style front end with 70s era Trans Am racing inspired front dam and minimal but appropriate ground effects. The composite for me to draw: Final lineart for me to start painting: Are there any good car artists in the house?

This is the same image that I posted in the chit chat forums. Thought I would go into a little more detail for you here. Camera set to manual with the following settings so that each image would be somewhat the same: Nikon D70 - f/11.0 - focal length=70mm - shutter speed=1/500 - WB = -2 I started messing around with manually stitching them in Photoshop and got frustrated. I had some software that a friend had loaned me to try out just for this type of application and this was the first chance I had to use it. It is AWESOME. Called RealViz Stitcher. I imported the 6 images I had raw and clicked stitch. After about 20 seconds of processing a panny came up with all pictures stretched and skewed to fit perfectly. Hit the render button and set a couple of settings (file name, crop, etc) told it to render. It not only lined the images up, it lightened/darkened each image so they seam pretty much perfectly. I purposely shot with the white balance low so that I didn't get any white out effects from the snow. So after it was rendered I took it into photoshop and lightened it a little. I think the finished product is rather amazing..... Click here to see the image.

Just to let some of you guys know, I moved a few topics to the sharing a critique subform. If your topic is missing its probably there.

By this point a few of you guys know i have a little photoshop skill, enough to create banners/sprays and things of that nature, and since this is the current forum right now, i figured i'd offer some 'services' up for you guys. I'll do just about anything for free, i love projects and i enjoy honing my skills. My specialties usually lie in banner-work / text. I know there are people who have requested sprays who i have not got back with in awhile, If you are one of them and you want a spray, Please Post here with some details. Same goes for anyone who wants any other work. Make sure to be specific with your requests, give me some colors - text/theme ideas, anything that might convey what you want a bit better. Hope to get some requests.

I really enjoy taking photos, just wish I had a really nice camera. I linked this up last year, but I thought I would share some of my favorites. Perhaps later I will post a couple of shots of before and after on a few pictures I had to photoshop. Here's some of my favorites
