A few taken this weekend in Washington, D.C. I was shooting an event, but keeping this and several other assignments in mind. Gotta love multi-tasking!

Thank you!
when I saw your VP shots, I thought I'd go for the orange as well while I was at it :-)
I have one question, though: what were you focuing at?
Both foreground (leaves) and background (bridge) are kinda OOF, and in between there is nothing but a body of water....

I think it caught the water.... I just bought the camera and I'm still trying to figure out all of it's functions, I'm new to the D-SLR cameras and there's a lot of stuff on there to learn but I'm giving it what I got!! thanks

Nice Pictures
My favorite is your powerlines with Orange sunset...
Now for the left over peeling....could you of left part of
the orange? Wow you cleaned it up good all to the edge not
even a little vein of an orange left lol**
First assignment....Like the color, but not the focus. Not sure what to do to fix it.
Nice colors indeed!
As to the focus: shorter shutter speed and narrower aperture would help. But so would a better lens and/or steadier hand (or a good tripod)

Hmm... I had it on f4.0 to keep the background blurry. Was that the wrong thing to do? The exposure was for .0015secs - the camera picked that since I was in Av mode. A tripod is always a good idea, but the wind was blowing as well, so it wouldn't have helped much.
Now about your crack at my lens...are those fighting words? :rambo You don't like the Cannon EF240105mm f/4L IS? Or is it that you just don't like Cannon Or did my husband pawn off a substandard lens and keep the better one for himself? Just wondering....

f/4 is fairly open and you shot it from a close distance, hance fairly shallow DOF.
EF 24-105/4L IS USM is a fine, fine lens. But yet again, it's only f/4, hence shooting wide open is subpar, you would need to close it down to f/8 to reach its "sweet spot".

Past& Present:I found these literally, a block from each other, so I had to take a picture.

I was shooting this for the "chilled or steamy" competition, but got side tracked, no biggie, I got a nice shot out of it,
