I am sick of Andy and his photographs! The guy goes to Palo Alto, right up the street from me, and gets a shot I wouldn’t have seen with a gun to my head. Now he’s off to London where is hob knobbing with great photographers and just snapping out cool shots of the moment like that gal playing a violin in a corner as if it were nothing.



He does seem to have a newly developed fetish of taking peoples photos while eating though.



I am putting you on notice Andy! I am not going to look, and drool over any more of your great photos until you post one with poor composition, wrong exposure, and how about a little camera shake to prove your human.



Oh…..Ok I might peek at a few. :D

Photography is like fishing. Although you may not be very good at it, if you keep trying, you have a change of getting one.

    Andy, as usual, I can match you in everything except excellence (how is that for over the top "sucking up? But I know that your shots, and your "eye", are consistently good............great?)

    Saturday I shot 200 shots in sun and clouds, outside, afternoon, at 1600 ASA, boy did my heart sink.

    Ha.. been there, done that. Course if you had the 1dmII the noise is so low at 800 that it would not have mattered.

    One of my daytime outdoor shots that I shot at 1600 (dRebel or 300D), it is one that people have strongly suggested that I enter. I worked it up in black and white last night, ala Andy's channel mixer instructions, with the extra black thrown in.
    I added noise, just because I wanted to, so daytime, light enough, outdoor, at 1600 ISO, and I add noise??? Seemed like a good idea at the time.
    I am liking the picture better in blk and white, but the ISO problem, no one notices, and I forget.

    The main thing with that , the whole picture, everywhere, is in focus.

    what is your lens lineup? do you have more than the kit lens for that rebel of yours?

    you might consider a fast lens, so you can narrow the dof when you desire. the 50 f/1.8 is under $100 and is really good, the 50 f/1.4 is $300 and is superb. and of course, there are a number of other great choices as well.
