Really like it: the planes, the shapes, the shadows. And seen... most people would have passed it by without seeing a potential pic...

Thank you very much.

Playing with the new 50mm f1.8...

Took the camera to my workout session this morning and grabbed some shots of our kettlebells.

Wow, that brings back memories! For a few years, I had a nice corner office that overlooked that monument. Got to see it every single day I was in and it wasn't foggy- foggy days sucked, that's near the flight path into National and the buildings would quake when a jet came in. The URL is interesting- are you selling the Iwo Jima monument on Craigslist?

omg. i just shuddered at that picture. good shot, but more b/c of the kettlebells some wickedly hard exercises to be done using those

the next time, try kneeling or laying down to snap a pic through their rings. that might turn out neat as well.

thanks for sharing.

This is actually a replica of the one in DC. This one is located in Fall River, Mass. Also I just put the picture in that folder cause im too lazy to make another folder.

Simply awesome.. before I even read your text I said to myself "escher!"

Where is this located?

Zack

It's the atrium near wear I work. It was taken for an online assignment "Unusual point of view." Of course, I had to take off auto rotate! Thanks for the comments!

I would've loved this shot if the background wasn't so terrible

Canon Rebel XT
ISO 400
1/400
f/5.6

here is another HDR from that day, this one I liked because of the rays of sun in the upper left and the massive amount of detail in the furniture and walls, but its a bit overdone in my part. Also a big amount of chromatic aberration in the middle on that coffee table.

still learning, only had my camera a month now, so lots of time to learn and play. =D

thanks for the replies guys

this is pretty cool... I am totally all about experimentation. I like these and this one more than the other. was this your house?

Ha, yeah it was another tough one this morning: squat presses, hip tosses, double clean presses...ugh

Great suggestion on shooting through the handles - I'll definitely give it a try!
