Man, such awesome stuff here. I've just been getting into photography for about a year. Here's some shots:

'55 Chevy at last Good Guys drags in Indy.

Not the best shot, but what a cute face!:


These things are all over the place in the Redlands/Homestead Fla.:

Cowgirl...


Barrel racing at Homestead Rodeo:


Cool windmill in Arizona:


Macro shot of guess who's eye:


Hope you enjoy these. All taken with a Canon Rebel XTI.

Strobist

I just got a couple of light modifiers this week so I've been experimenting.



Diecast is set atop the 10º Honeycomb Grid which is attached to an Alien Bees AB400 at 1/2 power.
White cardstock was held about 6 inches above model to reflect light back to roof and hood.

Nikon D70
105mm micro Nikkor VR
f/10.0 @ 1/250 sec

Testing out my new camera...

With a nod to Juan, my first photo subject should be no surprise.

1/100 sec @ f/2.8, 50mm, ISO 1600
Strobist: Flash was pissing her off, so I bumped up the ISO. All light is from a college student cheap IKEA room lamp with white balance fix in post. Missing is a pin light in her pupils; need a catch light.


Second subject is an easy choice and is my favorite park in the south SF bay area, Uvas Canyon.

0.8 sec @ f/11, 48mm, ISO 200 (can you spot the beer can? )

She looks ready to latch onto photography!
There must be some kind of influence around her.

water droplet

This is my first try with capturing water droplets. This was one of my faves cause the water has a slight swirl in the middle.

We went around and found some new shooting locations...

My wife suggested this shot, gotta love being married to a designer. I noticed the partially blacked out grille makes the car look like its smiling.

Great picture. Love the "red-out" on the chrome line around the car! Very sharp indeed!

That looks cool Carjoy. The portrait format works well with that composition.
That almost looks like the area at the base of the Hancock.

That is exactly where it is. I was sitting on the steps outside of The Cheesecake Factory waiting for a friend. You must know Chicago well!

It looked familiar because the Hancock is my favorite skyscaper in Chicago's skyline.

(and I've been in that courtyard several times)
