I'm going to be easy on everyone this month since last month seemed to be a total flop.

The rules are...

In one post, put up the best pics you have.

Up to five photos

Only one post per person please

You can go back as far as you want for this one. No time deadline.
 
here are a few of my older ones. they were the easiest to dig up without digging into my portable hd.

1. taken on my first night out playing with my camera... it was pitch black out. 30 second exposure, f/3.5, 18mm. and look at the colors that came out.

2. first time shooting a sporting event with my own camera. i like it because the balance seems good and i was about 100 yards away. ~150mm zoom...? ish? (my lens goes up to 200mm, but i wasn't all the way zoomed in). 1/250, f/5(ish), exp comp -2.3..

3. taken as the same night as the first. it's just pleasant

4. same place as #1 and #3, but obviously daylight. i like the colors and balance.

5. hemi challenger with the sticker on the dash... what's not awesome about that? and it was my first time messing around with my circular polarizer. i used it to bring out the bumper sticker that's sitting on the dash.

Zion Nation Park after Camping a night on Grand Canyon Rim. I liked this because of the beautiful scenery.

Yellowstone National Park. I liked all the sharp colors in the photo.

P5250110.jpg

Dry Tortugas, Florida Keys - I liked the colors of the sunrise on the old fort.

P1020465.jpg

Zion National Park - Angel's Landing. I usually try to border my pictures with an object or offset them so you can see more of the background, this one I didn't and I liked how it came out.

I have a lot of favorites. Here are five of them

My Dog. I just like this shot because he is my dog.

An old WWII hospital car. To me this shot tells a story. I've always just got a feeling that you can almost feel what has happened in this room.

The headlights off an old EMD locomotive. I like the depth of field in this shot and the detail of the paint coming off around the lights. To me it makes it feel old.

Can't say for sure why I like this one...other than it is in the Swell and the colors seem to complement each other.

This one is probably one of my favorites. I love the shallow depth of field and the lighting. I mostly love the fact that I was able to pull it off hand held and keep it sharp.

as far as my pictures, i have a lot of favorites from wheeling and adventures. these five were just the easiest to find.

all five are HDR's that I have done. obviously not super realistic, but i just liked the finished product.

-pictures 1-3 are yellowstone national park.
-picture 4 is glacier national park.
-picture 5 is a field in Wisconsin.
 
From a recent trip to Flagstaff, AZ to snatch an XJ...... had to go check out these old rotting cars........

JakeWI - Nice pictures! I thought I had the first three picture locations pegged. I wasn't sure about the last photo. As for angel's landing you're gonna love the hike, hope you're not scared of heights! I want to go back in the summer and do the Narrow's.

ASP - I was really lucky, the previous day and the following day were both overcast and rainy. Couldn't see anything when I went to Ring of Kerry.

Yellaheap - Love the bullet holes in the old cars.
 
Thanks buddy. did you have any guess' on the last one? Im a little afraid of heights. Im going to see how far I can take angel's landing.
 
These are not nearly as good as previous posts.
One of my favorites. Not because of the photo quality, just because it wasn't set up and I thought it was funny as hell. (just happened to be in the right place at the right time)

Not sure why I like this on. The boat is ugly as hell, but for some reason this photo has always been one of my favorites.

Just because it brings out my inner gear-head.:D
