Well as we all know, the equipment does not make the photographer. These are the 1st shots from the new 10d. It is going to take a while to learn this thing, but it will be a blast while I'm learning.
1st: A picture of a new version of some classic circles. Mud on the bumper and all!
The next picture comes from just up the street from me. See how may circles you can count in this one! A great big ADVrider Salute to the winner!
The next shot is for all of you who live in the wet part of the country. This is a center pivot irrigation device. One of many that dot the landscape in this part of the country. If you have ever flown over the dryer parts of the western US and noticed green circles on the the ground, they are caused by one of these. Hence the name, "circle."
The next circle is something we all use every day.
Yes it's wheel. (more correctly tire and wheel) However, most of us don't have their wheels attached to something like this:
They have monster trucks and mud boggers running tonight indoors. I guess I'll have to see what kind of pics this thing will take there.
This is my first time posting at Digital Grin. Is there a limit to the number of contributions on a given topic?
Great shot! Welcome go the grin. No limit on submissions.

Wow, that brick shot is way cool. Is that far below or a macro? Looks like a industrial version of a Van Gogh sunset. O.k. maybe not, but it was the first thing that came to mind.
Here's my first attempt at high speed shots which are circular so it counts! Thank God for digital cams so that I could take the 10 I mean 250 shots it took to get a half a dozen that I liked!

It's the side of a building. Here's more of the original color.
And the building....

OK, I went to a vintage auto/motorcycle museum today and had lots of circles to choose from. Here are a few and if you like oldies check out the whole gallery here http://richard-cabesa.smugmug.com/gallery/89081/1
For the high speed shots I set the shutter speed at 1000, this is 1/1000th of a sec right? Messed with the ISO which didn't seem to make a difference. Used regular flash to stop the image. And perched the camera on a homemade tripod of a few coasters.
The food coloring/water ones were taken in a white bowl nearly full of water and I was dropping the water by hand using a peice of hose for an aquarium air pump. The first shot was no food color, the second two of course had red.
The last shot was coffee landing in much more shallow water in a blue bowl. The drops also came from farther up. I cuoldn't reach high enough to manually drop the coffee, so I rigged up an acclimation hose from the old aquarium. (This is a piece of 1/4" vinyl hose with a valve on the end to control the drip speed. I was having bad luck on the timing, so I sped up the drip to about 3 per second, then I hit a decent shot much more often.
All shots were manual focus.
All in all, it was pretty fun. Next I'll have to go out and get some apples and a 22!
This and the previous were red food coloring added to the water of the first pic.
I thought this one was neat.
Hi Steve, very cool.. I like the middle one best. I've always liked shooting water droplets my self, something about instant movement thats fascinating.
Welcome.
