Thanks a lot!

Regarding post-processing: I wish I could tell you exactly what I did with that one, but I can't since I worked on several versions that morning. I do recall using a free Photoshop action called "Midnight Glow", the app "Convert to B. and W. Pro", the cloning tool to clean up some garbage, and tweaking with the brightness/contrast and highlight/shadow settings.

Thanks! Also, just out of curiosity - do you like the D40 more then the DSC-R1?

I think at this point I like the R1 more. It seems to have better color, ergonomics, user interface, features, and the look-down/flip/twist lcd....and that amazing Zeiss lens...
Not that the Nikon is bad; I like a fair bit. The big advantage with that camera is the ability to use specialty lenses, like long tele, super-wide, and macro. But in the normal range, the Sony is the 'man', as it were.

Hi oblomow, just a small comment on your photo. There is no point of using a high ISO when doing long exposures, all it does is introduce noise. Also find out the sweet spot of your lens and set the aperture to that, something like f9 would give sharper results. Try it! ;)

Thanks for your comment. A lower iso would have been better, I agree, but
I had trouble enough keeping the camera steady for 4 seconds on the (round)
bridge railing. :) I will try your suggestion about the f/stop, thanks!
 
I browse this thread about once per month and thoroughly enjoy seeing the talents that I don't possess. I got the camera* but I don't have the skills, you see. :p *(350D)

Brilliant, as always. And freebooter, I have no idea how you create those images but they're magical.

This photo is somehow one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Might I bother you for a higher res image of it? I'd love to have him as a desktop or something. :)

Haha, "the man" indeed. Thanks - I'm still on a slow quest to get my hands on one... Maybe one day.

Camera was mounted on a tripod, stuck it through the sunroof, had a friend brace it. Pretty nifty. I'm thinking cropping the bottom out, where the car crept into the frame.

It is _very_ nerve wracking to have your camera outside of a moving vehicle at 65 MPH...
 
This one was taken with my mom's....eh, Vivitar? PnS. I was taking shots for my art class self portrait drawing project and I snapped this one while I was at it. No cropping or editing, yet. I might mess with it later.

Yes, that is me, playing guitar in the bushes. I was messing around with A and some funky harmonic, playing with a quarter for a pick. In the bushes. No supplemental lighting like a flash, that was a light onthe corner of the house. Taken tonight, 3-27-07.
