puppy pics,
I like the comp on the first one, I'd drop the white balance a couple hundred and possibly drop your cameras exposure set up one stop to increase your black levels and sharpness.

toy race car pics

I like the first one, the second one not so much because the fence in the background is distracting.

The first photo can be a lot more interesting if you boost your saturation, its slightly under saturated, Lots of reds and green that can use a boost in vibrancy. And as mentioned earlier, recovering some of the blown highlights in the back would help too.

Here's a couple from the first time I used my new Kenko Extension tubes with my Canon 100mm macro.

This is apparently a Twilight Darner dragonfly



This is a closeup of the wing of that same dragonfly

Been wondering for a while I have this

With a set of lenses


I was wondering if anyone knows, if I buy a D90 Nikon will I be able to use the lenses at all? It would be nice to be able to use them, I know the focus etc would be manual but I like the results I have gotten in the past on 35mm with these.

they look a bit under exposed on my screen.. but then again this screen is like 4 years old cause my work doesnt think that i should use a calibrated screen for building a website cause "its all code anyways and you dont need accurate color for black and white"

they fail to mention that the yellow the boss chose looks like that weird M3 yellow/green

Jon, Thanks. And I'll make ya a grilled cheese, u just gotta come and get it. ha ha

Tina, u haven't had a grilled cheese till u have had one that i've made. ha ha I don't even need a spatula. ha ha I just flip them like an egg.

Snow, I took them all in a matter of 10 minutes. ha ha Wasn't just trying hard on them or nothing. Just wanted to get some pics with the snow cause we get it like one day outta a year here in Memphis.

Yanki, I usually put turkey, bologna, or ham in the middle. My ex fiance used to put pickle slices in her's. Not my cup o tea tho. ha ha

i use my dads lens from his old nikon camera.. but yah focus is manual.. not too bad tho.. i love the pictures i get out of them.. instead of buying a new equilvalent that would cost me a lot..

got bored the other day.. i tried to do HDR



original file looks great.. but it was 40 something mb.. and flickr wasnt down with that.. i dont have the tonemapping plugin on my cs4.. so maybe i could add more..
