Love the utensils shot. It's very "Autumn" with the colours out of the window.

Thanks, glad you like it. Unfortunately the fall colors aren't as intense this year due to the dry weather.

Thanks. I like the stairs shot as well. Took several from both sides. I also shot a few looking up. I agree - lots of photo ops there.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'll probably go back and do some more shots of that room. I screwed some of them up when I didn't notice that the lens hood on the 10-22 was not on proper. Should've paid more attention. The only thing I don't like about the 20D is the lcd.

Shaker Village was built by the Shakers, a breakoff religious sect from the Quakers. They led a life of simplicity, but were amazing in some of their skills. They made/make some of the finest furniture available.

I like the meeting room shot....you've blended the shots well..can't see any difference....

[thaKing]

i like the shot looking up as well, but looking down is better, IMO. the actual steps add another dimension to the shot...

Thanks. Just a small part blended actually. Most is from the 1/25th exposure. The 1/80th exposure was for the windows so they wouldn't be completely blown out.

Yeah, I still like the looking down shots better. The up view is just different. I wish I'd had my g/f take a shot of me taking this shot tho. Thanks again.

Really nice shots Dennis - wonderful subtle use of fill-flash.

Thank you Michael. I've just recently got the 580EXII so I'm still learning it. Studio strobes I'm fairly comfortable with and have always been a natural light shooter anywhere else. I didn't want the flash to be evident.

:cool: Wonderful shots.

Thank you, I'm glad you like them.
