WOW! |
hahaha... yea... I have a problem =)
But... remember... a Lens a Day Keeps the Doctor Away! =P

And what is it that you do to be able to pay for all this? And where do I sign to join you? Haha! |
hahaha...... no comment |

It conveys it's subject extremely well, so well that I still don't like the photo! If I can ever take a photo that is half as powerful as this I will be happy.
Great job Shutter-For-Hire. |
Thanks! I just checked out your waterfall pics... they are amazing! That's going to be my summer project... mastering the waterfall... look for me on the front page again =P

hmmm... favorite??? well, It's a really tough call... I really do like to shoot wide so I'd lean towards the Tokina 12-24 used for the shoot, but all the lenses serve their purpose... I use the 35mm f/2D for all portrait sessions, the macro lenses for.. well macro shots,... ect...
They do all get used on occasion... =) |

I'm going to try and enter at least one pic every other week to stay in the game... I started a new job and it took me a while to get settled... now I have the time to focus on challenges again...
I hope to be in the running regularly again... probably not on the front page too often, but I'll do my best =) |

yea, I purposely aimed them inwards to give kind of animate them with the same expression as my face... as thought they were looking over my shoulders... I had always wanted to incorporate the umbrellas into a picture and I wasn't sure if they would cause any lens flare, and apparently they don't =)
