Heads up on the multiple photos, Pierre. Don't get me wrong, they're all lovely, but this is PAD thread. One photo per day.
The D700 is pretty awesome, tho. :]

Pierre - love Your squirrel shot, but as Squamish wrote it's a PAD thread, so please one photo per day - this gives us time to think on each and everyone photo for a longer period of time :)
robert - great dog shot, was it shot in B&W or have You decided to add B&W in PP? (just curious, as it's really an awesome picture, the DOF isolation is sooo well chosen, although background could be a little bit darker to make the head stand out more)

It was shot in a C-41 Black and white film. I believe the Kodak 400. It had a slight color tone i desaturated. Changed the levels slightly and sharpened.
It was shot with my dads old 24mm 2.8 Vivitar. Wonderful lens in my opinion
Thank you :)

20,000 flags at the commons
I know it's POD but these two go together and maybe I won't post one tomorrow to make up for it :-p
That and I'm a rebel who breaks the rules...

I took my own advice and went for a walk in the rain and ran into this little Swallow.

Noxin I really like your first flag photo. I think your second shot would have been more effective if the foreground flags were in focus and the rest falling out of focus behind them. It's a bit confusing when you first look at it. My eyes want to see the front row first and so it seems as if the entire photo is out of focus at first glance. That made sense right?

That made sense right?Niko, Thanks for the feedback, I do value your opinion and it makes sense but I think having the focus further back makes it less of a typical snapshot and draws you more into the picture. What I like about it is; I first go to the flags in focus then I start to look around and spend time looking at all the others. Pictures are like music, everyone likes what they like which is good because I can take only so much laday gaga before I have to put on my Ramones.

I think you pegged it best by saying that focussing further back in the frame helped make it less typical, noxin. Sometimes the classic approach to composing a shot can end up being a bit unoriginal depending on the subject or content of the photograph.

Way to stick to your guns, noxin. One time someone told me something in a teaching course that I think applies to photography. They said, "There is no right way to teach. But whatever you do, think about why you're doing it before you do it."
Personally, I don't mind the focus at midfield, but on the other one (which I think is awesome) I would crop out the grass in the upper left.

Fine you're all experts and don't need any help. What could I possible know about photography anyway? That's the last time I offer any critique then, jeez.
