4/365: Main Entrance It's been a loooong time since I've done some night time HDR. Almost a year, I think. I woke up at 1:00am to get this shot of the local hospital. Night photography in itself is a challenge, but throwing HDR into the mix makes for some very long wait times between shutter...

I hear ya about RailPictures.net, man. I tried a ton of times too and gave up a long time ago. Somewhere on that mess of a website is a list of their requirements, most of which are pretty stupid. Shortlines are the best! They're far more likely to let you take photos than the big dogs...

Yeah, that's why I picked that one. I knew it would 'throrughly' annoy our resident Spelling Nazi. LMAO! Been waiting awhile to post this one for ya, Jack:

3/365: Rose of Sharon This is the Hibiscus syriacus variety (yes, I had to look that up). We finally got some rain last night and today has been very overcast, so I decided to do an indoor studio shot. Nothing stellar by any means, though I'm happy that the water drops are reflecting the...

I hear it can be very difficult to get into Canada. The traffic is horrible because all the Canadians are trying to get into the US. Okay, I'm done now.

Candid Smiles Weekly Challenge August 3-10 The winner of the previous challenge was Kim20. She issued this challenge and will be judging the entries. Good luck everyone! A smile can brighten anyone's day. Nothing makes me feel happier than to see someone with a smile on their face, and...

I heart Canada.

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.
