Those are very nice. I especially like the second one, you've managed to capture their emotions just right. I used to work with the homeless for about 2 years (at a shelter), so your pictures are pretty visceral to me. I'd love to see some more.
Here's one for today:

Nice colors! The perspective of the dock is a great balance to the sunset.
two today
I am in Brunswick, MD today at my weekend home. In the backyard, I have a small flower bed I've been nursing along. I brought some grape hyacinths to transplant in last night.
This morning I went out to see how they were doing, and found that a bee had taken up a guardian position over the bed. She hovers a couple of feet over the bed and refuses to allow any other flying insect close. Bees, wasps, butterflies - they all get chased away. So I spent an hour trying to get her in my viewfinder, and finally had to give up with this being the best she would let me get of her.

The next one was taken around the same time, I noticed that a clutch (dozens!) of tiny spiders had hatched and were crawling around on my BBQ, trying to get to where the wind could catch their webs so they could fly off. I like the way the light cast huge shadows of each one.>

yeah i noticed you are in atlanta too. I just got the 400D like 4 days ago. I'm proud to say i've already taken close to 1000 photos. By the way, i really enjoy your pics, cause normally i know where they are.
Another 400D user from Atlanta. Hey.

You should know where this one is vandi. Took it after I left work about 2 hours ago.

Thanks for the compliment, I've been lurking and admiring everybody else's, thought I might contribute something for once!
I took that one about 6:20pm, which was a bit over half an hour after the sun actually went down. The days are starting to get shorter as winter approaches here down under.
Here's another photo from that same trip to Sydney

Exactly. It's really simple, really.
One photo per day, and put the date that you took the photo, along with the place. You can post your EXIF data if you want, but that was never a requirement.
Anyway, I don't take a lot of photos, so I don't post many.
Here's one of the Sydney Opera House that I took last Sunday (April 15th, 2007), I believe.Attachments
I would add that a comment about the photo is welcome, as well. Context adds meaning.
Well, I totally agree with you. EXIF data is nice, but sometimes, all those numbers are just technical, and doesn't really contribute to the photo itself.
Wow, very nice. I love lines!
Well the photos you have taken so far are quite nice. I have always liked photos of birds, but have never been interested in taking any myself. Too bad, because in Australia, I always see birds that any bird-lover would love to see in real life.
That's very nice, especially the perspective. It's hard to get a shot of the Opera House from a slightly different angle because in most cases, you need to be on a boat to do so.
When I was there last weekend, I heard thunder and it started raining shortly afterwards, which is why I took the photo I did (weather doesn't matter if it looks abstract enough ).

Sidebar: You know what I want? A real birding lens. Like a 400 mm f/4. (VR or IS) I may go to Seoul and look for a used one.
