1/20 sec | F 2.0
Took this shot this afternoon aiming for a high contrast stylish composition. Did some minor retouching in Photoshop. My wife is the subject(as usual).

question, habilis... are you taking these pics the day you are posting them. or just posting pics youve taken?

all pics ive posted were taken the day i posted, thats why ive had such a long break... i havent done any sets since the night in dc

Hey, I'm an amateur photographer! I'll have to get in on this.
I have some great subject material around me (mountains!) and a not too d*** bad digital camera (Powershot A40. I can do some really good stuff with this, almost everything I could do with an SLR. The automatic is sorta nice after having used my Dad's completely manual 1970s Minolta SLR for several years though!).

Anyway, look for me soon!

Jason, I have always taken these pics on or the day before I post them, take a look at the embedded capture dates, otherwise there would be no fun in posting them here in this thread. The numbers underneath the pics are the Shutter Speed | Aperature value/F Stop. I take my camera EVERYWHERE I go, and I'm always going. It seems like it's always slung around my shoulder no matter where I am because I never wanna miss a photographic opportunity - I'm nerdy like that. Almost every day I set up still lifes for my own images catalog, kinda like getty images to use in my designs for ads or websites.

I use my images in my ads and website designs but I still consider myself quite an amatuer.

It's spring here in Cleveland, I can go outside and take a lot of shots I've been dying to take all winter. This evening I'm going to Wildwood State Park on the shore of Lake Erie to take some sunset shots. Anyway, hope I'm not bothering anybody by posting a lot of pics. Good luck.

I think a photographic assignment would be cool for this thread.

ok, here's a 'different' assignment that shouldn't be to hard. take a pic of one of your body parts that you feel is most representative of your personality. but since most photographers would immediatly think 'eye', then eyes are ruled out. ordinary portrait type shots are also discouraged. any other part is ok. it could be very micro if you want. it does not have to be identifiable. background setting should add part of the 'message'.

ummm... may i post a pic?
i won't take no for an answer, here it is:

ps. im using this for my website as a background, look at a preview of it here, it's kind of messy, i gotta fix it a little:

Shutter: 1/25th sec. | Aperature: f2.0
Ok, my hand isn't pretty but you might gather from what's in the background that I'm a nerd, and you're right.
