    Yeah, jeez! The rules thread says you have to post your own artwork. I declare this thread invalid!

    needOptic is the Fonz of the Photo Thread.

    Anyway, here is a portrait I took a while ago. This was before I learned how to bracket, and given that, was fairly happy with the exposure. It was really hard to get any detail in her face while not completely blowing out the sky. This is with a PowerShot SD850 IS.

    I killed the last photo-thread. Oh no!

    edit: this first one looks really off for some reason (as in it doesn't look quite like this in non-photobucketed form)
    edit2: actually...I think this looks worse.

    The sticks are really, really, really ruining it for me. I wish you'd just pushed/held them out of the way for the shot.

    Long, the first one is just way too blurry and noisy for my taste. Sorry.

    Uncle long, the middle one is fucking disgusting. And I like that about it.

    Nareg, I like the last one. It's kinda cool. The colors are a little boring.

    Ok here's one I took in 2006. Can you tell what I photoshopped?

    no sticks

    Except for those ones in the top left corner

    But those could be cloned out easily

    But still, this one loses the nice DOF that the first one had. The colors are better, but I really liked the DOF in the first one.

    Nareg, I like that second picture a lot. Very nice all around. The third one kinda bugs me. The...ah...thing in the center is framed properly, but the windows aren't. It really throws me off.

    Fire Fox, I like that second one a lot more. The first one was killing me for the same reason Sheri mentioned.

    You guys get an old photo until I get back from Tampa.

    anable: Rad shot. I think I would have prefered to see a little bit more of her face, but other than that I'm really enjoying it. The sand in the bottom is so smooth, I just want to run around and make it look ugly.

    You know what I think? I think the shot should be twice as wide. What do you think of that? Huh? Huh?
    Honestly, she's just a distraction from all that beautiful sand.

    Altman you have scarred me for life with your demon of babies. I will have no children now thanks to you.
    Nareg: I love that last shot, fantastic composition... however (DUN DUN DUN) maybe crop out that little horizontal stone ledgey thing that's barely in the shot at the very top.

    I love the third shot, KillerCar, and the others are decent as well. That third, though... that's special. Extremely dramatic.

    Edit: salti, that looks too staged to me. I mean, oviously it is, but it looks too "oh shits, the art class project is due tomorrow? quick, think of a non sequitor!" :P

    This is a shot I captured out of pure luck. It obviously isn't perfect but I had about 10 seconds to get ready to capture a 15 second exposure. In this photo there are 3 people having a roman candle fight. Just thought I would share.

    Killercar the third shot is great. I'm so jealous of people who have clouds, there's never any clouds where I live, extremely bright sunshine and boring blue sky day after day, it sounds nice but it sucks when you want to take phtots.

    Sheri - The second captured a good expression - I like it. Needs at least three times the amount of knives it has currently though. First doesn't do anything for me.
