Let us know what you end up doing it seems interesting that a hospital would have a photographer.

I will. I was kinda surprised when I found out they needed a photographer. Some morgue shots would be cool as hell, or perhaps some macro in the E.R.

edit: lol exige
 
Morgue shots...get that white balance right because you don't want them looking pasty...lol. I would go with the D200. My friend has one and it has allot of manual adjustment options on it. Also the nikon sb-800 speed flash works great. I don't own one but my wife works at Ritz Camera so we get to borrow things if we need too, borrowed it for an indoor wedding that was being held at night and it did a great job. Thats rad news so keep us informed about the ins and outs!
 
I really needed my tripod for the last 2 but i didn't have it with me and i noticed the opp so i tried without it. Was kinda dark and well, the human hand just isn't a good tripod so they seem a tad blurred but oh well:) And the moss in the first picture is Chopped in, looks pretty good to me though. Anyone else?

I like.

No really, nice work.

Tonight I was prepared to bring my DSLR to town and get some phtography done downtown, but then I hit the booze and decided it was better to leave the expensive machinery at home... Next time possibly.
 
I like the pictures of the buildings but man, i drank allot of vodka last night and they just make me dizzy feeling looking at them
 
I went out last night to mess about with long exposures and came up with the following;











I was really surprised with how well my camera managed to capture the last shot without sillhouetting the trees or overexposing the sky!
 
I don't use image shack, and i have never had a problem. I use photobucket. Auto's all images too 800X600 too, used it for years with zero issues.

I've got a photobucket account somewhere, I just find it easier to use Imageshack to be honest. They're working now anyway.
 
I like that moon shot and the last with the trees, it almost has a hdr look too it.
 
Springtime here in Scotland. Time for Apple Blossom and CPLs.

I might re-PP this as the blossom isn't quite as pink as I'd hoped.

I think you should try to use a lower ISO, so you can show off bigger shots without much or any noise showing up in stock shots.

Yeah, the ISO was set so high because I'd been shooting candids at 300mm and forgot to change it. I ran a Filter -> Reduce Noise on it, which was moderately effective, but I think that the high ISO might be part of the reason why the blossom is a little flat. Nonetheless, I thought that the blue/green contrast, the white clouds and the pink blossom were worth sharing.

I don't put images any bigger than this on web sites no matter the quality.
 
Step-dad asked that I try to get a few shots of the birds at his feeders yesterday. This was my first time shooting a subject like this, but I got one shot I was pleased with and wanted to see what thoughts others had.

Thanks in advance.

Canon EOS 20D : 70-300mm F4/5.6 @ 300mm : ISO 100 @ 1/320sec

That's an "ok" shot. But I blame the lens. I had that lens and it's just terrible, especially at 300mm. This pic has way too much noise in it, which is expected with this lens. It's obviously holding back the 20D, which is capable of beautiful images. Also, as you probably know, that lens isn't worth a hill of beans in low light.

A higher end Canon or Sigma 70-200mm lens would be a good upgrade.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to sell the lens a while back and got no replies. I may try again here soon, but with a lower price and just cut my losses. I was looking to upgrade in the long-range area anyhow because as you say the lens is sub-par. I find myself having to use tweak the hell out of the photo in PS to even make anything out of it to begin with. I was just looking for feedback on the photo itself mostly, but I will certainly look into your suggestion. Thanks again.

I was able to sell mine on Ebay. I got $150 for it. I included shipping in the cost and I think that helped sell it too. If you want to keep it any longer try staying away from 300mm and use a tripod. Some images may be nice, but unfortunately very few. Here's some shots I took with the 75-300mm. PS has been used of course.




Here's some pics I took today. All taken with the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8

The Blues first practice since was yesterday. And of course I didn't bring my camera. They'll be practicing for the remainder of the week as well. Kinda sucks without #6 there :(. Some of the coolest maneuvers were done by him. :(

Those first three are very nice, especially the last one; very sharp for being at 300mm. How much PP work as done on those?

Nice shots of the Blues, also. :)
