Originally taken for my mother, this became one of personal interest.

I was looking it over full screen and it started getting bigger and

bigger as if it was eating my monitor.

Comments appreciated.

I was taking a walk along a creek and I found these in front of

somebody's driveway. Thanks for taking a look.

This was one of the very first pictures I took with my new camera.I

just thought it looked kinda neat.

Focal length: 35.0mm (35mm equivalent: 56mm)

CCD width: 22.66mm

Exposure time: 3.000 s

Aperture: f/4.0

ISO equiv.: 100

Kees, those are actually stars. This was taken at about 10:00 PM.

But thank you for your comment.

John, Thank you for your comments here and elsewhere. They are much appreciated.

I suppose I could Photoshop out the Palm Tree (Left). At the time, I was thinking that it added a little balance and a unique perspective.

I recently posted the vertical version of this shot and I was asked

how it might have looked in landscape mode. Well, here it is.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.

I was actually having my senior pictures taken when I remembered that

I had my camera in the car. I'm glad I had brought it, but the

picture just doesn't do it justice.

I really like the contrast of the colors here. How long was the exposure? It almost seems like a long exposure but at the same time not.

I kinda wish I could see the "H" shape of the vent though.

I really like this shot and I'm personally into low light photography. So my question is: How on earth did you get the tail lights without the headlights illuminating the road?

Also... I love the rest of your portfolio. I've ALWAYS wanted to get into sports photography. In particular, Surfing. Great stuff in there.

The background color was dropped out in PS.

DOF was done by lense though.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah it is a little over exposed but this shot was taken at around 11:00 PM and since security is tight around this place, I had to use a 300mm lense to get this close.

I've been trying to work on low light photography the most but it is rather frustrating having to wait for prints to come back in order to see how it turns out. That's why I'm currently saving up for a DSLR.

Tony: Thank you for your comment. I too liked the clouds in this shot and I do actually have this shot in landscape just to see the difference once printed.

I think the reson I like the vertical shot better is because some of the rocks seem to get a little too busy and contrasty with all the shadows when in landscape.

Park, CA.

I really like this picture. It's subtle yet saying something to me. Now I just need to figure out what it's saying.

Great shot!

Comments and ratings are appreciated.

Thanks.

I have no clue what flower this is; or if it's even classified as a

flower due to the thistle like nature of it but either way, it's a

desert plant from Joshua Tree, CA. I have another shot of this but I

dropped out the color in the background (Photoshop) so that just the

plant itself is colorized.

I wasn't sure if this was going to come out but it did better than I

had hoped.

Also, it was originally just a moment to capture but once it was

developed, it had a rather artsy style to it. It is now one of my

more favorite shots even if it isn't the best I've ever taken.
