Mike - the 35mm looks like a good focal range for portrait, nice!

Here is a sunset taken at Pier 38 while waiting...

wow, beautiful shot Norris, I can't wait to come home, ah well I'll be home for Christmas in a month. meet anyone?

New thread! 10,000 posts..man, you guys have been busy since I left....well busy posting anyway.

Nathan - you still "down east"? I didn't make it up to the Maine coast this summer. Too busy with family stuff.

- darren

guys, i plan on doing a shoot for a friend next sunday. Where do you all think is the best place to do a beach shoot early in the am? Just need some ideas on where would be good.

Norris - I was looking at that gorgeous sunset on my traffic drive home and did not have my camera with me. I have it now.

ninobrn99 - The east side is good, Waimanalo/Bellows beach is more secluded.

Nate - give us the time your here and a good day (no family obligation) so we can plan something.

Thanks Lincoln.

wow you guys hit 10K already, looks like its time for me to get the cobwebs off my 40D, well atleast for another moth, I will be leaving soon for a while. but I do have some leave comming soon so if you guys decide to do a get together let me know, I might actually come out this time.

Anyone interested in buying a XTI body $425 less than 10K actuations.

Thanks Nate, here is the shot of the car after the sunset:

After the shoot, realized that the flash on the left was not positioned properly, the front rim should have been light up more... oh well, next time...

norris my critique for this photo is that the car needs some separation from the background. perhaps using a flash as rim lighting would be cool. separating the car from the dark sunset scene would've made this image even better. very cool though. i love the idea.

hey guys, dropping in briefly yet again. managed to get down to NYC.

went and saw ground zero.

this was one the the last pieces of steel to be removed from ground zero. to think it once was part of the tallest buildings in the country. ground zero really left an impression on me.

Wow, seeing these photos brought back a lot of memories...I remember that morning and how I found out about the attacks. I was visiting a computer news site and the first news item was about the first plane hitting the first tower...I thought they were joking but turned on CNN and just couldn't believe what I was seeing. What a horrible morning that was.

Gee, shooting a dark colored car at night can be pretty tough, huh?

Thanks for the C&C, so to separate car from the background I would position a flash between the car and background? By moving the car farther from the border, would this help as well? Another Idea I had was to put a flash underneath the car lol...

Btw, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Duck shots!!! I have been there twice, but late afternoon, did not walk around the whole garden. I believe it closes at 4pm.

This could be also another place for strobist meet, plenty trees!!!

+1, buy more flashes... Nice scene, another approach would be to brighten the background some because the car is black for the separation.

EDIT: HAPPY THANKSGIVING Keep your family close today!

Happy thanksgiving everybody
