Nice, and a boat load of Chihuly back to you.

Haha, I never got a shot of the boat full here ( I didn't like much of his stuff honestly) .

But I did get one that I submitted to the "Fairchild Challenge" photo contest held by the botanical gardens hosting Chihuly. One of my friends and I went together, and we both took our submissions with one of my lenses (and got within a point of each other, just shy of honorable mentions).

January 29th, 2006
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens (Chihuly At Fairchild exhibit)

Camera: Nikon D200
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/40 second
Aperture: f/9.5
Lens: Nikon 85mm f/2.8D PC Micro Nikkor (which due to financial circumstances and medical reasons I won't get into, I was forced to sell this past week)
Some tilt and/or shift applied i'm sure.

This has been edited to look how I want on a 2.2 gamma monitor (all except apple unless you set it otherwise) but should look good on a 1.8 gamma apple standard monitor.

Thanks! Canon 20d w/kit lens. I also have the Canon 50 f/1.8, which I highly recommend ($75!). I'm trying to save for a few more right now.

I really want the EF-S 10-22 for some ultra-wide landscapes, Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 for walk around, Canon 70-200 f/4L for tele (maybe a sigma f/2.8), and Canon 100 Macro for...macros.

Such an expensive hobby...

This is my first submission with my new 350D.

All your shots thus far have been incredible. How do you like having a DSLR? What lenses do you have?

 

[monkeydo_jb]

Wow, this has such an abstract feel to it. Great comp and colors. Love the reflections!

I love it! Much more fun than I thought it would be, much easier, too. About the only thing I underestimated was the lenses price. :\

Right now I've got three slow lenses- 18-55, 28-90, 75-300, all at 4-5.6 I believe. This was taken with the 28-90.

AVATAR!!!

Thanks! You've got some great shots on your website. Did you use iWeb to make it?

That is stunning.

Thanks you two!

It was actually terribly exposed (for the sky entirely), so I hope it doesn't look too overprocessed. Mostly the Shadow/Highlight tool to revive some of the shadow detail. It got a little grainy...

Oh, and I have only shot RAW since this experience!

 

[JGruber]

That would have looked AWESOME in HDR... Do you have a RAW file of this?

Here is a picture from the back of my boat in Lake Havasu a few weeks ago.

Woah, cool shot. I love cloudless sunsets, as they provide such a clean and beautiful gradient in the sky.

I meant to say AFTER that experience, I started shooting RAW. Hindsite, my friend. Hindsite... I have done a few HDRs since then w/multiple shots.

 

[JGruber]

I think I took 5-6 shots of the sunset from different distances, and different shutter times, all pretty much give off the same effect. I thought they looked cool...

I should have noticed the RAW comment before I posted.

I've seen him once before, unshaved he looks a bit like Garfield.

Excellent shot. Simply gorgeous.

I think the grain in the shadow detail sets it off. I'd love to see a full sized version.

Thanks, Mike. I guess I'm my own worst critic. Want me to email you a larger version?

 

[DJMastaWes]

I wish I were you monkey. My shots suck.
What camera do you have?

This was taken with my Nikon Coolpix 8800.
Ironically, this is a shot of the spot where I wrecked my car, almost exactly 7 months later. The Nikon died in the crash.
