Cheers Red

I like it, Red. Nice composition and exposure, and the balck & white works well for me. I also like the shallow depth-of-field. However, I'd prefer the focus plane to on her lips rather than her teeth.

Oh, and your girlfriend's very pretty!

Lone Boater

f5, 1/500, ISO100, 140mm.

The original shot was brighter, but I liked it darkened down a bit.

Wow...so many great shots...I've been away too long! :D

Here's one to go along with the "lone boater" above from Dusty (fantastic shot, BTW)...though not as dramatic (lone boater thread anyone? :D).

Dusty, you left me speechless with this dramatic beauty… I mean lone boat sailing at dusk I guess.:eek:

Drama as usual with excellent photo of his specially trained bird, probably his dragonfly took a short vacation, yeah?:p

And JTL nice catch, I wonder if that chap in the boat demanded some pay from you for posing. Exposure spot on and great colors. :p

All your shots make me feel so frustrated about myself because I cannot get out with my camera as it is raining most of the time and gets a bit too cold in evenings when I am leaving office. Cannot remember such a terrible September here.:(

Thank you!

About the pay...he was too far away to ask! I actually had farmers in China demand money after I took some shots of them and their stupid water buffaloes! :eek:

About the exposure. If you look at my EXIF data, you'll see that I always underexpose by 1/3 of a stop. It helps to hold the whites and pop the colors at the same time (at least on my XT...another of my little tricks).

Thanks for the comments!

I took this earlier this summer and I wasn't too crazy about it, but the print in my house gets all kinds of interest, so I thought I would post it here.

6 shots combined into 1. I didn't have a tripod with me, which meant the combining of the shots in PS was a pain in the rear.

Oh! I have a boat shot. Can I play too? :D

Dusty,

That "lone boater" is a framer - wonderful capture.
