You placed yourself in the best position for horse racing, right at the front of a curve, because here is where you will always get the best action shots. It gives you that 3/4 view whereas other places on the track you only get the side or front view. Nicely done! I realize it may have been...

How about the rest of you? Any photos from the county fair?

2/365: HDR Tank This bad boy is sitting out front of the local VFW hall. There was some serious Photoshop work involved here. I had to remove the buildings in the background along with the highway exit ramp and signs.

1/365: HDR Tractor II I'm a sucker for old tractors because they look so cool in HDR.

Now, compare the wide angle shots above to a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 below. This shot was taken earlier the same day in just about the same location.

I've waited all summer long to get my hands on this lens. The newspaper I've been interning for doesn't have much of their own gear: a beat up D200 and couple even more beat up lenses. Needless to say, I've been using my own stuff. However, despite the fact that the rubber grip on the focus...

After Labor Day (early September) I will be assisting a big time photographer. I don't want to mention specific names, but he is an interior design/architecture photographer who is regularly published in Better Homes and Garden magazine, among others. Networking pays off. Earlier this year...

Don't try this one at home, kids: EXIF: Nikon D300s AP mode Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 @ 17mm 5 bracketed exposures, median 1/400 @ f/8 ISO 200 HDR processing in Photomatix Adjustments/sharpening in Lightroom Radial blur/gradient applied in Photoshop CS5

Now that my internship is drawing to a close, I will have a lot more free time to work on personal projects. I feel a bit guilty starting this whole 365 thing here (8 months ago now!) on Nikonites and not participating in it myself. The keyword here is "personal". I plan on including a lot of...

Peter: + The idea is interesting, albeit not original. + I like that there is a sad face instead of a happy one. + The vignette actually adds something here. It helps create a darker mood to the photo. - Finding a way to have the doll standing up straight would've had much more visual...

+ Excellent example of street photography. The subject is caught unaware and doing normal daily activity. She appears to be smiling at her own thoughts, just relaxed enjoying her break from the world. + Great DoF. Foreground and background are out of focus, while the subject is crisp and...

Rocking out! Next letter is T.

Safe! The next letter is E.

I thought we would have some fun here in the Flash forum with our own photo assignments. The Strobist site frequently has challenges, and this one can be found here. It's up to you if you wish to enter the official contest on Flickr, but we can follow the same theme and have our own here on...

Sunsets Weekly Challenge July 20-27 The winner of the Stop Action challenge was fotojack. He issued this challenge and will be judging the entries. Good luck everyone! Everyone's got em, so let's see those sunsets! It doesn't matter if you live in Baltimore or the North Pole, everyone has...

The biggest issue I see here is a Rule of Thirds violation. I like to break rules, but this is one that should be followed any time there is a hard horizontal line running through the photograph. I also happen to like the colors. In fact, I would add more pop to make them really stand out:

"Blocked View" D300s

Very interesting discussion! Last semester, I took a course called "Color Theory" and here's the best way I can explain it: Color and photography share similar principals in that they are both based on interpretations of light. Colors come from the spectrum of light, with each color producing...
