cool!! :)

I just picked up a well used 70d, she seems fully functional etc, but I was looking at a 30s exposed pic with the lens cap on, and I found a whole galaxy. Should I be worried?? edit: image size a bit small, each orange circle contains a small thing as in the fullsize picture. They come in red...

Thanks both of you, appreciate the input and it gave me some ideas! Take care!

Dear photographers, I have used a 350d for the past 10 years but recently I have been noticing that the autofocus isn't doing great. I use the center point focus, but it seems to be off randomly, especially in low light. Lens is a Canon EFS 17-55 2.8 and I was afraid that it might be off...

Hihi, surprised baby :) I feel the light is a bit cold, white balance might be off?

Nice! Some nitpicks: the main entrance area is blown out, and the close right corner cut off. If you can, I'd reconsider the crop.

that's gorgeous, just gorgeous!

And another afterthought.. Slight change of style :)

Here's one as an afterthought :)

I have to say that I really like number 4. I can't stop looking at it, it's just really pleasing to me. 5 is also good, have you tried it flipped? I feel that my eye is lead out of the frame by the way it is now, mirrored horizontally it could have the opposite effect.

Wonderful! This cat has just the right sympathatic look.. a little melancholic :) Can I have it in the house for Christmas? :) As for noise, it doesn't really bother me. If you wanted, you could blur out a copy of the pic and mask the background into the original, because that's where the...

I appreciate it, thanks all! :) Aspen is a gorgeous place, I'm so disappointed I didn't take the camera out any more then this. When I was there, I just didn't feel that I could capture the beauty... As for bears, I've spent two summers in Aspen now, and I haven't seen a single one. I'm...

Ah yes, sorry, a larger pic: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2503/4208586064_a468e5b365_o_d.jpg I spent most time just experimenting with settings and ideas, actually this idea with the music sheet came up only in the last moment. I realize that the kind of light I was going for with my two...

I took some (a lot of) time to shoot and process this tonight, building the setup with 2 bedside lights and paper sheets as diffusers. I'm especially interested to see if you guys think the editing is convincing, I've stared at it all night and a couple of things just seem wrong. I'm...

I agree with above, you might be able to bring out more detail in the foreground with a subtle HDR operation. That should bring the viewer more into the image.
