"Bunny Wabbit"
I havnt had a chance to post a photo in a while, my classes are actually starting to pile up and good old finals are in 2 weeks. For this reason, I havnt had time to go out shooting, but I saw this little fella on my way to class and he/she/it was next to my dorm so I grabbed my trusty camera and took a snap...it felt good!

I'm starting to become a little more comfortable with candid street photography. Here's one I from last weekend.

I agree, very nice shot.
Does the water spray look like that normally or has it been altered?
Thanks! No alterations. It looks like that when you use a longer shutter speed.
Here's another from further down river, i used an aperture of f/22 so that i could leave the shutter open for 4.5s...
It's a (relatively) simple procedure that requires a sturdy tripod, a cable release, a long(ish) exposure and, erm... moving water.
It's something you can do on a dull day, 'cos you don't want too much light. The still parts of the pic stay in sharp focus; the water becomes a sinuous blur. Start with, say, 1/10sec... and experiment with exposures in whole seconds...
Killin, Scotland
Beautiful day here today, so went for a run in the car and ended up in Killin.
Struggled to get the shutter speeds required though, due to the bright sunshine, but i did manage to find this small waterfall away from the main ones.

Amazing image.. If only that garbage can wasn't there..
The perspective is incredible.. How did you get up so high?
I'm guessing this is a close-up of a cactus.. Love it!
My quest to get accepted to fine arts school continues...
One handheld RAW // HDR // Shutter: 1/320 // Aperture: f/14 // Focal Length: 400 mm // ISO 250
...this was my photoblog post for today, and I can't decide on it. Did the HDR treatment screw it up? Should I have not processed it as much? Usually I know for sure if a processing treatment works or not, but such is not the case here. Comment/critique welcome.
Carlos - I love your wascally wabbit photo.
In my opinion, while the HDR helps accentuate the colors, it makes the photo seem a bit too unnatural. Perhaps the original with some dodging/burning and a saturation boost would be more effective?
Erm... I climbed up a hill...
Valdore... I wouldn't say it's impossible to use the HDR process on portraits... only that I can't remember seeing a portrait where it represents an improvement. Maybe it's too blunt an instrument for the subtleties of the human face (and it tends to make people look a bit grubby, like they need a wash).
TommyD... I know the problems of photographing waterfalls in bright sunshine: how to get a slow enough shutter speed. So I tend to photograph them on dull days, and that seems to work fine.
