Hi Mike! I found that shooting indoors at museums equally challenging this weekend when I went to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, FL. I experimented with many different settings before getting some good pictures. Most of the aircraft in the museum I visited were lit with skylighting which provided nice natural sunlight, so I didn't have many problems with white balance settings. Using a flash on other aircraft that were in dimmer areas was hard because the flash didn't have enough reach in the huge building. I think every museum is going to offer its own set of challenges so without seeing what you were up against, I don't think I could recommend any improvements. I do like this shot of the SR-71 though. It's a beautiful airplane.

I submitted 3 photos of this static display, and this one was the hardest to get a proper

exposure on due to the tremendous backlighting at the museum (skylights with the sun

shining straight through!). With no spot metering mode on the new Digital Rebel XTi, I did

my best with what I had to work with and came up with this. Anybody have any ideas as to

how I could have done it better?

She was laughing at something so I snapped a shot!

that it snowed on a faire day. Snow in Dallas in April!

Very nice! I would almost like to see her toenails painted to match her fingernails.

Freaky! Good shot...but it freaks me out!

This is one of my favorite nudes I've seen on photo.net. Very nice!

Very nice!

Very beautiful picture...and model!

Very nice! I'm the Fleet Sales Manager at a Ford dealership...I should have done a shoot with our yellow Ford GT before we sold it!

It was taken on April 13, 2006...I took about 1,700 pictures while I was there for a week with my wife and 6 year-old daughter. It was a full moon that night and I had planned to try some shots of the moon against the castle after the fireworks but I never could get the settings right. Anybody have any ideas for settings/lenses to use for photographing the moon with a Canon EOS 20D?

This was my first attempt to photograph fireworks, so I chose the fireworks show over

Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom in Disney World since it was done over an interesting

subject (the castle!). Please comment and advise me to how I could have done better!

I took this photo while getting ready to shoot fireworks at Magic Kingdom at Disney World a

few weeks ago. My daughter spotted this Owl at some distance in the tree in almost pitch

black darkness. I didn't have time to grab a telephoto lens, so I shot with my EF 24-70mm f/

2.8L at 70mm with a Speedlite 580EX flash. This is my first photo I've ever taken of a bird, so

please leave your comments!

Casino Row, Biloxi, MS, as seen from Front Beach across the bay in Ocean Springs, MS. Photo

taken 7 months after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of this area, but the wide angle

perspective hides most of this devestation (on purpose!). This is my first photo I've

submitted here and I would love your feedback!
