Its my whole life and yeah its great most of the time. I have been obsessed with photography for 35 years. Got addicted while serving in Uncle Sams finest. Got out of the Corps and got a B/A in it and have been working in it full time for 24 years. Its certainly got its moments. But I wouldn't change it for anything.

For me it's completely different. I have an MS in engineering, and picked up my first SLR about 7-8 years ago.

For the first 4-5 years I used it pretty much as a P&S . Only the past year or so have I been working on improving my photography, and slowly but surely I'm seeing improvements . Picked up a few books on the way too. My wife has it easier, she has more of a photographers eye for these things, I have to work my ass off to "see" a shot.

It's fun though, I can't complain.

That's pretty cool. There are some awesome shots in there....

Has anyone from this thread been published?

As was mentioned, I got a couple into POTN Book Vol 3.

I also had two images in the Richmond (VA) Times Dispatch last spring illustrating an article on the gentleman who is the Chief Spotter for FOX Sports and their NASCAR coverage.

That's awesome, I gotta say -- I really like the watermark on that picture. I didn't notice it while looking at it, and then it accidentally "pop'd" into view.

Somedays I can be blind as a bat others I can't stop seeing. Its usaully hte days I don't have the camera that I can't stop seeing.

very nice, how did you get the eye color render like this? Lights or and pp?

Thanks! Natural lighting outside. There was a window nearby, thus the reflection. The only pp I did to the eyes was one click highlights with the dodge tool.

I like the baby shot but I think you need a more contrasting background on the product shot. Black maybe?

Which remote switch do people use? RS-80N3?

I bought the POTN wired switch right here from POTN...

Jon

Is there a decent (after market) wireless trigger? I needed one recently and would like to add one to the bag. I remember quite a while ago people were talking about a Chinese product or something, but I didn't save any information on it.

Geno, I can't believe you just set the camera on that shelf and the shots come out that good. Must be a very smooth train ride.

Looks a little red on my end...and I have to say I am not digging the pose.

Others seeing the red?

Yes. Someone's monitor needs calibrating. I've been meaning to say something. They've all seems somewhat pink/red to me.
