love the sky, but any reason why the street isnt centered?

To catch the darker part of the sky to the left...who says roads have to be centered?

A Cautionary Tale !
I originally went out this morning to take photo's at the shore, however while trying to take my first shot there I misplaced my footing and came crashing down onto the rocks. One visit to the Emergency Room, 4 stitches and 1 Tetanus shot later I ventured back out with my camera to the local Country Park instead. Remember folks take care when taking your pictures.

Freebooter

Thanks, The "Green Spider on Yellow Flower" and "Several Droplets" are another two amazing shot from you. Your photo's never disappoint.

Very nice picture. The blue of the sky looks great with the leaves. Be sure to go there when all of the leaves are orange, that'll make it look even more awesome.

I can't wait for trees to start getting orange where I live, I like those kind of pictures.



And freebooter, I'll say it again: You are a great photographer!

I see you like taking photos of insects. But I have one question, in the last picture, of the yellow flower, how did you achieved getting the background completely black? Or is it Photoshop? Because I have been trying with no success.

bright flash/narrow aperture setting can help to blacken the background. See this tute from the digital picture

I am still practicing with flower pictures. Since I am in exams right now, I haven't had time to go out and take pictures. But I'll try and go to the mountain and take some pictures this weekend.

Thanks for the info. I was able to take the previous picture (in the above post) almost with a pitch dark background. But I still had to crop a little part.

This is from a pretty good storm we got here last night...I had to wait tell the storm got a little south of us because of the hard rain(I didnt want to get my camera wet). Its alittle blurry but I thought the colors/clouds were kinda neat.

Really eye catching - a lot of drama - two lighting strikes it looks like. Any post on this? Foreground is a really lovely color.

As furious said, small aperture with flash usually does the trick. Sometimes, however, I want to have some background, especially if it's attractively colored and sufficiently out of focus. It kind of depends, also, on available ambient light, wind conditions and tripod-vs-hand-held--sometimes I rely on flash mainly to keep shake-blur to a minimum.

Here's a real iPhone that looks like it's folding! (No iPhones were harmed during the making of this photograph.)

Equipment: Canon Digital Rebel XTi. No digital picture manipulation! See my gallery for more pictures shot with the same technique.

I hope you like it!

P.S. What do you think, should I post this also in the iPhone section? Some people there could get a heart-attack... But it is a bit OT, and I am new here so I did not dare to post this there yet.

nateDEEZY, love the colour
M@lew, great expressions!
iBookG4user, humour! What really makes this picture is the lady in the background seemingly echoing the howl.

otter + BigJohno awesome!

xcalibre, a warm olive grove...so attractive, I must see/feel/experience the Med..

OneFrameCinema, wonderful, perfect...but does it really matter, in the end, if it's PS or lighting trickery? Same pile, different sh!+.
