Regulator: Thank you!
I was so drawn to the lighting in Stan's shot that I didn't even notice the vines 'til you pointed them out. :)
where there’s smoke there’s forum fire

Haven't had any time to go out and shoot, so I'm posting random crap I have laying around . . .

sorry for posting similar picture :(
Was explaining this to my friends on other forum regarding how good Colour control point tool is aka dodging and burning .
Example of simple single picture (not DRI ) ,processed using Capture NX "Colour Control Point ".PS only used to added signature .Picture was 100% processed in Capture NX .Only reason I always shoot in Raw .

Quick question: how do you guys put links *inside* the picture (like when you click the picture it takes you to Flickr or Smugmug)? Thanks.

On "flicker/Share this/Grab the HTML", you can drop the whole thing here (e.g. <a.href=...<image.../>/a>) to have the link to flickr or just the inside part (e.g. <image.../>) to post the image without the link.
Thanks for the feedback on the other photo.
Padlockd: I like that shot, but then, I'm biased. The sight of old books always warms my heart. :)
Thanks Pierre, works great!
@aslightdelay Thanks. =) I like how none of the words are complete in your shot. Adds to the feel of the run down building.
The shots that everyone are posting are just really nice.
Here is another portrait from a series I'm working on of actors.

Framer, did you take that from a heli, or just a tall building? Great perspective.
I may have seen this ship in NY Harbor some years back...
I was doing the cha-cha with 30 other airplanes. I'm in a Grumman American AA5. It has a canopy that can be opened about 6 inches in flight. You just have to keep the lens out of the windstream. We had to stay 500' away from any vessel. Our altitude was about 500' when it was taken. Flight conditions that day was choppy. It was just after I got that VR lens. This was the moment I discoved VR.
Look at my avatar, that's the plane.

@ kanuck - great geisha shot, there is so much happening in what they're wearing
@ mike - I think the red boots make the shot
@ framer - love the helicopter in that shot, the compression makes it look like its right on the boat, or a toy or something.
@aslightdelay - that shot takes me waaaaay back to a street in the Dominican Republic, many, many moons ago. Where did you shoot it?
@studio640 - ty! I'm having a blast going out to the beaches for sunset - but the mosquitoes are surprisingly bad!
elvis: Hackensack (NJ), but it's funny you should say that, 'cause it looked like a lot of what I saw in Ponce (Puerto Rico) when I was there last year.
@ studio460, thank you! And I like the "random crap" you're posting!
@ squamish, another nice picture of this girl!
@ aslightdelay, no need to be gentle, those are great shots.
I am the grateful owner of a 24 1.4G (well my creditcard still "owns" half of it...), not that I am a professional, on the contrary: I'm absolutely not good enough to deserve this lens, but I fell in love with the bokeh...
Arthur: Thanks. Looks like you're already getting your money's worth (or the credit card company's) out of that lens.
@framer: Very nice shot and what a lucky moment. I think I just saw that ship in Montreal last week (or one of his brothers).
@Mike: Very emotional. I like the light bubble.
Pierre, that's amazing.
Looking at the lighting in some of these photos, I'm curious: how many of you plan this stuff out far in advance (or how often), and how much of it comes down to a combination of technique and just the dumb luck of being in the right place at the right time?
Thanks guys. Mike Gunter, thats a wonderful portrait shot. I like how the subject seems to just pop right out of the shadows when you view it. Well done.
Here is an Inari Shrine picture without people :)

OOPS!
@ MIke, I would like to hear about your lighting for the portrait. Nice shot.
@ Squamish, another nice portrait.
Treckie: Now THAT is skill. That doesn't look like it left much, if any, margin of error on either your part or hers.
Keney: Great perspective. Post more often!
Kanuck: Odd how different it looks without people to lend a sense of scale.

With some editing...
