almighty - I bought the Sigma off a friend so I don't know too much about it. It's labeled as a 70-300mmD, so I'm not sure what HSM is. Cannon is a great brand of camera though. I went with Nikon because of the fantastic Nikkor lenses, and it was $50 cheaper at the time
Ancieto - great pics! That last one creeps the hell out of me - what is it!? Looks like a jellyfish that's on fire.
All this thread does is remind me that I don't get out enough, and don't take nearly enough (if any) photos any more.... keep posting folks, cool stuff! :P
This bunny is evil, he almost got me killed today xD
I was playing around with the bunny and i heard a car or something, it wasnt making alot of noise and i wasnt really standing on the road, so i thought fuck it! look its a bunny!!
Then i heard a WOOOEASHH.... wtf? i looked over my shoulder and stared at the side of a big touring bus that was maybe 40cm away from me!
One step back and i would have been a streetsandwich!
Also a nice colorpallet,
the lighting in the forrest is really nice, going to give it another shot tomorrow, see if i can get some better resolds
had my camera with me at the windy north east coast, not the most amazing tool and not too modifiable like a lot of the kits you have here, anyway, that doesn't matter, caught a lot of sand in it and in my ears that day. It's still working and i can still hear, rough, but had a lot of fun.
Blarg! In Shanghai this week. Sooo much food. Things to do with the parts you don't like.
Crab + Duck Tongue
Crab blow you raspberry!
LOL I was in shanghai last week too .. damn i got taken to this place that served hairy crab.. and it tasted like arse.. and they called it hairy because it had some green algae furry stuff stock to the claws.. was really yuck .. hahah
Seriously beautiful bird photos!!
My mom is a total bird-watcher and loves birds so much, I bet she'll love them so I gotta show these to her :P lol Great photos! All your pics are gorgoues, I'd love to see more! Moar!!!
I made some shots of flying birds, but to get those shots focused is hard.. :P
Though i still have some on my camera, ill take a look if there are any more pics worth posting.
Alot of the times i dont like the photos i take/post. Mostly its the composition that messes up the compleet picture.
For now! part of the finger collection i mentioned!
This one was actualy pretty heavy!
Fished this fella out of the water, dumbass.
Posted this one before but in bw, so to match the theme.
Thanks for changing the pics claydough
The skull pic looks good.
For dead animals, i think its better to create a link to a page instead of posting it direct. (People need to be willing to see it, it mostly is a topic that is quite disturbing, though those shots can be interresting. Biggest trick is the composition, if you just take a plain shot its disturbing, go for an interresting angle and maybe try a desaturated shot, or run some photoshop tricks and see if you can do something more with it. )
No need to censor yourself... I think he was just pointing out that it was disturbing to him. Personally, it wasn't my taste either, but I know some people are into death related photography
yeah notman's right, no need to censor, but still pretty sick. (maybe post links instead? so as not to disturb the souls of the innocent among us (A) haha ).
i usually don't mind disgusting pictures, but pictures of animals being molested just suck...
Awesome edit! I really like how there's more equal play between the bottom and top of the image now without the sea of blueness swallowing up all the attention.
sutton bank, at the very bottom of the north yorkshire moors. It's great up there, with gliders taking off over your head.
Great photo Danr!
It has a nice variation in landscape, color, lighting
Some cheap shots from yesterday, the colors were bad, unsharpness around the wings, noisy, i need to figure out if i can get more out of my camera, check other settings and things because the photos that come out of it are just terriable
(this one is from a couple weeks ago)
oh and ...
Its snowing atm! i went out and got soked, and that without getting a picture.
Ill try and get the first snowshots this week, if it keeps snowing that is, it probably stops in a bit and it will get summer again... dutch weather is so weird.

I'll censor the first 2.

Asheville, North Carolina. The friendliest place I've ever visited!
Asheville is just beautiful. Almost every part of the city is a photographic opportunity waiting to happen.
Experiment and make cutouts/ try photoshopping it a bit more. You can get much more out of it!
(i should also do this more with my work...)
