Hey guys! Just signed up for the forums today after googling "photography forums". I love the pictures I've seen posted so far. Gives me some motivation to go out and shoot as much as possible. I haven't uploaded many pics, but I'll see if I can find some that I like.

Little intro to me, I just recently got into photography; picked up the T2i after much research and deliberation and I'm very satisfied with my decision. I was pretty lost in the beginning, but after picking up a handy Intro to Digital Photography book, I think I'm making some good progress. I look forward to contributing to this forum, and this thread in particular, as well as learning as much as possible from everyone here. It's refreshing to see how welcoming and nice people are here.

-Rob

Well, one of us is doing it because she's learning how to make brushes.

Can you tell me how to make the brushes??? would like to know how to do that. I have PS but can't quite get the hang of the brush. and also have Lightroom.
Can do the watermark no problem in LR, but not PS

cheers for the replys,carol these were taken from a public hide on a nature reserve,im lucky to have many reserves with hides near to me (tayside scotland) most are free to enter

female mallard with one of her youngsters,she hatched 10 but this number went down rapidly,seems cute doesn,t matter in the animal world especially when it comes down to an easy meal

Sandra, I think someone here posted the link originally. Anyhow, you can find instructions here:

I found some of them weren't quite the same as I was seeing in my CS2, but it was close enough for me to figure out.

Woohoo! One of my weather photos from today made it on the late local news.

So, where is my royalty check...

I tried to find some. There are more pelicans around here than ducks right now though I did manage to find some anyway.

Nice series.

Hi Rob. It's nice to meet you. WELCOME!! You're going to love the camera. And not to worry; you can't help but learn from the helpful and caring people here on this forum. Any questions; just ask. Someone will know the answer.

Nice. You just have to love those little fuzz balls. I feel so bad every time I look at mama still sitting on that nest. I wonder when she's going to realize that her eggs are long gone. It's too sad.

WOW.. Congratulations. Our Maru is going to be famous one of these days, and we can all say we knew you when.

Haha, thanks. I'm not going anywhere though. I'm just glad to be able to share images with others, whether it's here or elsewhere.

Wow, that looks incredibly similar to my Orion shots. Of course that probably makes sense considering we're using the same camera. Nicely done. Love that train shot as well.

It was a stacked image of 70 images. Its cropped of course. I cant wait to try it with my 50 f1.8 now lol.

What focal length was the one you posted at? I've had mixed results with my lenses and I've tried them all. Some just don't render stars very well at all wide open and everything looks like an egg.

This is the best I've been able to muster so far, but I haven't had good skies to try again since. I wish I would have kept better notes on my flickr page because I can't remember how many files I used. But I know it was over 100 exposures, darks, and bias frames.

Thanks, Annie. When I said "for baby lovers" of course I really meant "for Annie"
