Abandoned column
This is an abandoned column in an ancient marble quarry. It probably developed a stress fracture while the carvers were roughing it out, so they abandoned it, about 2,000 years ago.
I went with a six-second exposure to minimize the texture in the water, which I thought was competing with the texture in the rocks.

Kinda jumped right into the cameras face today. C&C very welcome.
Here's looking back at you, Abyssgh0st!

It is a beautiful scene, but it looks over-processed to me.
Here's one of the most photographed places on the planet, I suspect...
Canon 7D with 17-55 f2.8 at 17mm; 1/25 @ f5/6; ISO 250; Handheld
wow, very, very sharp! wish i could've got this from my 1000d haha
Thanks - glad you liked it
! The lens I used was a Sigma 18-200. PP was in Aperture. I basically used the Cross Process 1 preset (under Presets -> Color) and boosted Shadow and Edges a bit. Here are the detailed adjustments:Attachments

Hi guys,
I was amazed at the quality of the posts on this thread. I am by no means a "photographer" but enjoy looking for what I consider "neat" shots but I am using a Canon IS5 camera with no lenses and I do not even know much about aperture, etc... and usually just use the "Auto" setting so bear with me.
Here is a photo I took at the Statue of Liberty from the crown looking down the double-helix staircase.
Any advice is HIGHLY appreciated and I heave learned a lot just from reading some of the posts but would love some as much critique as possible.
Take care.

looking sunward...
One body, one lens continued, but this time I dusted off the 300f/4 (older non-s) and went outside my door in mid-afternoon to see if anything at all came of it... trying to see what I could actually find in mainly unflattering, bright afternoon sun. It's a challenge, making myself take pictures when nothing interesting is going on, the light is super contrasty, and without driving anywhere...

Wakami Lake Provincial Park.
Haven't been out with the camera. I've been called back to work for the summer months. Here's a shot from Wakami Lake, Ontario.

mind sharing any info on this pic? I'm looking at picking up a wide angle lens but don't know much more than enough to be dangerous!
Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!
UVA Lawn:
not criticism but I would enjoy seeing this show with the people(subjects at a far?) either closer or removed..just to see the difference. You may have got the winner but I would like to see them all...just my 2 cents!
Hi. Just a couple of pointers for you. MacRumors has a site wide rule against consecutive posting. If you want to comment on two or more posts, use the multi-quote button. Another thing you ned to do with all image quotes is to make them thumbnails. Change the tag to [img] to do this. Several months ago I was asked to develop guidelines for POTD, and they are posted way back on the first post of each month. I put together tutorials on how to do all this that can be found by the link in my sig.
