If you're talking about my photo, thanks. If you're talking about either of the other two photos posted before mine, then....I agree with you. 
Is that what "The Social" looks like?
"The Social: Population 1,196"
Anyway, I was deciding on whether to post another penguin photo, but I think I will since they're cute, and everybody loves penguins. I'll post my other photo in the Assignment thread.
Taken January 6th (same day as the previous one) using my Nikon D50.

I wanted to post another Penguin too, but I only had the one.
So I'll continue with my walk from yesterday. Again nothing special, just a nice and peacefull nature trail. Now I'll just wait for the Keynote to start.

On the way home today I drove by this classic New England looking field, cows and all...:
Camera: Nikon D70s. ISO was at 1600 by mistake... I had been shooting at that ISO perviously and never lowered it. Wasn't a fan of the lighting - the yellow wash from the setting sun overshadowed the landscape. I might desaturate it a bit in Lightroom to give it a more natural look. [Replaced with retouched image]

HANDS DOWN the ugliest thing to ever come out of Coventry! God help Jaguar if anything off that car makes it into production
I'll stick with my 1975 XJ 4.2C, thank you.NIght Shot
Tried my hand at some night photography, last night
Wanted to see how the D40 would handle the white balance and also the noise from a high ISO. I know there are a few blown highlights mainly from flood lamps. Any C&C is always welcome.

This is actually the best one I took... I LOVE IT!
Not a bad picture - could use a tad more contrast, a bit blurrier background (which you can get by changing the aperture/f-stop or focusing in a bit closer), and a bit more snow on the trees (which you obviously can't control
)What camera did you use?

Everything is crisp and exposed perfectly; while I like the effect of having no vehicles in the picture, it would've been cool to have one driving buy (with some slight motion blur).
Still, there's plenty to look at and enjoy - great picture

It's an Olympus Camedia with 3x zoom. It's only 3.2 megapixel's, but it does the job.
Unfortunatly, I can't afford Aperature, so iPhoto will have to do.

Why do you want a blurrier background?

Wow, that's excellent for ISO 1600. I mean, it's very good. I like the photo itself as well. Lucky you got the street empty.

I agree with abstract. Very low noise at 1600!
Thanks guys,
So far this camera hasn't disapointed me. I would have loved to get some light trails, but opted for a cleaner image insted. I still don't know why the exif says Exposure Mode: Auto bracketing I shot in manual mode and I don't think the D40 has auto bracketing. I don't even know what it's for eithier.

This is my first post in here, just thought I'd say hi to everyone (recently converted from pc to a MBP C2D, not sure wtf I was thinking before that but hey, better late than never
This was actually hand-held at probably ~20ft with a ~1/125ish shutter. I guess VR can be worth it sometimes.

I think the shot is very nice. What AvSRoCkCO1067 meant was to shoot at a higher f/stop; which in your case you can't control. So simply disregard that statement. In iPhoto, you could boost the saturation up (just a tad) and play with the levels (histogram) to tweak the whites and shadows.
Also, a larger image would be nice, so as to see better detail.
So far I liked this one the most too from your trip.

Cool shot
Welcome to the forums, and congrats on the recent switch.
