Very small-time stuff regardless - and I'm not quite sure if I'd be up for it because I still don't feel like I am ready for something like that...still so much to learn. These are right out of photomatix with some small tweaks (resized, selective sharpening, etc.).

Dude it doesn't matter if you think you are up to it, your photos speak for themselves!!!

nice shots tnf

Thanks all. If it wasn't for q3w I would have never decided to buy a camera in the first place 8 or 9 months ago. Seeing pics from Doombrain, FanaticX, Sparkle, Form, et al, made me realize that my Canon point and shoot wasn't ever going to get me the results I've wanted. Now I've got a small business going and have outlined a plan that over the next 5 years may try and cut back on the teaching a bit and supplement the rest of the income with photography. When it comes to weddings and portraits, I have the advantage of interacting with 150 potential current and future clients for 9 months each year. At this time I have 5 scheduled senior portrait shoots, 3 paid and 2 are for students who cannot afford them and thus free.

Good times.

nothing's for free...

ps
nice shots

nice compositions tnf very nice1

if they're female and hot you could ask for payment in kind

Nice stuff tnf. You are churning out some nice images. Now don't get cocky.

"Are you my Mommy?"

thats a super super fast jumping spider ey?

those fuckers r so hard to get thyre so aware o all suroundings ey!

Young osprey was feeding and I was able to get within about 20 feet or so.

Few from this evening. I'll be careful not to get cocky.

Nice picts, everyone.

Especially those HDR images tnf.

Thanks, here's one more:

that last set of pics would make for awesome puzzles.

where ar those pics taken tnf?

Amazing results tnf. I really need to get out more with my Canon.

Thanks Charliealpha - check out photomatix some time if you start using the camera more. Can make some very dramatic images once you learn the ins and outs (that's the time-consuming part).

Here is my classroom in HDR -
Admittedly not the best use of the technique, I was curious how an indoor shot like this would turn out though.



And if you were wondering, those are Tinker Toys up the the corner on top of the cabinets - you can also see, by their location, how often I use them (never - to the despair of my students who want to build things).

They wouldn't be bad for some simple machine lessons.

now after u have expirence whats ur opinion as to why i never see hdr animals and people and stuff?

like rodeos ey and cowboys

They are moving, hdr really only works in still subjects. The only way I could see it happening (with tnf's method) is three or more cameras shooting at the same time. That'd be tough but still doable. and 3d

hey yea good points!

not sure i its hdr or not but yea good pull from the past werldH

i like the pic but tba its kinda busy i'd prolly prefer the original

Heh.. I just thought it was funny that you specifically asked about rodeos.

But andyman's right: HDR uses multiple exposures of the same scene, so if your subject moves, it won't work as well. That's why tree leaves are often blurry, or why the people in the background of one of tnf's photos look like ghosts.
