It's was my fiance's b-day on Wed and we are going down to Old Bridge NJ to celebrate on Saturday at a club called "The Breakfast Club". The place is an 80's and 90's retro club complete with a Delorean parked on the dance floor.
I'm charging the camera up and getting ready to take a ton of photos, both @ the club and in and around the town we are staying in.
Wish me luck, and I'll post any decent shots that come from this weekend here when I get back

Hi everybody, I'm very much fascinated with crystals and how they reflect light. I tried taking pictures of them, but I'm not happy with the results. I think my lighting is not right. I tried experimenting different techniques, some did work and improved the outcome. (removing flash).Since I'm just a beginner, I don't really know a lot about different camera settings. (I'm trying to learn though) Usually, certain part of the photo reflect too much light than what I wanted, as a result, some othe…

I was added as a friend by Nemo Sandman today (Merci Nemo) and as I do, before accepting, (I still haven't got the hang of being added without being accepted !!!) I took a look at his page to see what sort of photos he was showing.
I don't want to waste anyones time having me as a friend if I'm never going to look at their photos if their style is not my thing.
For those I have rejected, nothing personal, just that images are of a different taste to mine.
Two things were immediately apparent t…

I'm adding this a little apologetically. As previously stated, I'm still finding my way around here and it just seems a bit forward/presumptuous to click on "Add as a friend". The recipients may not want me as a friend! The other options (Invite More/Invite Friends) seem to be aimed at people not part of this site, so is there some middle-ground method I haven't discovered yet? And sorry to anyone who's received an invitation from me so far. It just seems really cheeky!

When we went to Cumberland Island Ga we made our way across the dunes, the sweltering marsh and through the Dungeness mansion...all to get to the beach. When we got there it was no disappointment. All the walking and traipsing across sand was worth it...The beach was everything you could ask on a hot blazing day and despite having to shoot photos in the mid-day sun I was so pleased that I came upon these birds.

One reason for starting this was looking at the photographs posted here by everyone else, seeing the variety of subjects, and just how vibrant and colourfull many of them are.

It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

Been the inside of out

Building a pinhole camera can be a rewarding experience. You may of heard about them but have never tried, well here is your opportunity.
I have received a link to a video that demonstrates how to build a 35mm pinhole camera, complete with film winder. I have in the past made and used a couple pinhole camera, and they are a lot of fun. This one looks very easy to build.

Bird Photography Tips
Birds are special creatures and thus they need to be handled in different ways than most other photography subjects. I have posted some photos that people seem to really like and many have asked me how I managed to get the photos and some have asked me for tips. Here is a list of things that I have learned mostly by trial and error.
Tip #1: Wear Neutral Colors
Don't wear bright colors. It’s not so you can hide (because you can’t, they see everything), it is…

Concert photography is cool. The energy, color, vibrance, contrast, flavor and intensity of the artists, the fans and live music itself, is exhilerating. This flows across any genre of music. Take a look at the artists and fans that I have had the privledge to shoot. Any feedback is welcome. See you at a show someday, you know where to find me... Peace, Ted

Hey everyone. Some of you might already know about the Maidenform Photography Contest, but I thought I'd share. There is a $20,000 prize and chance to shoot an upcoming ad for Maidenform for the winner - and there is a lot of crap that has been submitted so far! Unfortunately, it is limited to U.S. (and maybe Canada) residents - and you might have to sign up for a myspace if you don't have one.
If I was ANYWHERE near ready to submit something myself, I might've kept this on the down-low, but si…

MyShutterSpace is one of the best social networking sites for photographers where all levels from beginner to advanced can get together and discuss and share their love of photography. One of the main benefits that we all enjoy, no matter what level we are, is the photo critique. It is important to realize that photography is an art and its beauty is subjective. Some will like your work, some will hate it, and some will be indifferent -- and most of us just can't resist the temptation to offer s…

When you scan through your photos for something good or interesting to upload and you realise that you only have about 13 out of 3,700 that you think are good enough to display on this site, it really makes you realise just what sort of photographic skills you possess, or in my case, apparently DON'T possess.

Hello everybody,
I hope you are all excited about digital photography as I am. I have been working my way around cameras of all types since I was a young man. One of my first cameras was a poleroid camera, and I was amazed that I could take pictures just like the professionals,(I was young and didn't realize what I was saying). Anyway, I kept toying with cameras, and over the years I have developed my skills and am enjoying the benefits it has given me. I have recently gotten into digital photog…

I will be testing out the
Canon 85mm f1.2L II USM Lens on the Canon 40D this weekend. This is THE perfect lens for portraits on a full frame camera. On the 40D it will be the equivalent of a 135mm f1.2 lens.
This lens would also be well suited for indoor sports and weddings.
This lens is reported to be one of Canon's “Sharpest” lenses.
Will report on it after this weekend complete with photos.

Last night, after trolling around MSS and being thoroughly impressed with a whole lot of photos, I decided that I'd get up and go to the Torrens near the city and see what sort of images I could capture on sunrise.
I run and ride on the paths that surround the area and was often taken by some of the scenes that could be captured if only I had my camera with me.
I was there at about 0640 and proceeded to snap 39 shots over the course of an hour or so and it was like meditation. I can't recall th…

There are a ton of great photographers on this site. Too many great ones to pick from and so I will never pick a favorite.
Art on the other hand is rather different. Not that I did not say "Best" Artists, as that could be argued in a ton of ways and then someone would stupidly ask "Well, what is art anyway?". So I posted my two "Favorite" Artists. These artists both are very creative, both have different technical skills but both have the passion to be creative.
