For illustration only... I'll start:
This photo was taken with 105mm lens | f/22 | 1/1250 sec | ISO 200
Last year I bought a fish tank to play around with water shots like this. I had my fun and packed the fish tank away. After recently posting a video by Mark Wallace where Mark showed some fun fish tank examples... it reminded me I had this tank. So I dug it out of storage and went to town with it.
This shot was taken with a SB900 on the right and SB800 on the left. My SB900 kept over heating and was a head ache. I used PocketWizard TT1 and TT5 to trigger the flashes both in TTL. I think this weekend I'm going to try adding 3rd flash to fill that dark area on the bottom.
Here's my shot:
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN... START LOADING THEM UP AND TELLING A FEW THINGS ABOUT THAT PHOTO.
Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.
This pic is of my dog Bucky. I shot this pic a Community College Art Club rund raiser. I put Bucky in a bird bath so he would stay still. I shot this pic with a Cannon D60 DSLR.
However, I did a shoot for my best friend who's just had her first little girl 'Kallie' and wanted to create something that would work well as a canvas for her wall.
Two continuous 80w softboxes at the front. Dining room table with white black out blind, furry rug for baby and some Eminen on the ipod (put her straight to sleep!).
Nikon D7000, 50mm 1.4G, f8, 1/200sec, ISO 200
Post edited in PS with an added texture layer.
Tonight i put my lights up!
Got down on my drive way in the dark to take this photograph of my sensor singing santa's and snowmen! Didnt notice the man from down the road watching me lying on my front on the wet tarmac wondering what on earth i was doing!
Canon 550d, Tamron 18-270mm , f/5, 1/8 sec, iso 800, 46 mm, center weighted average, no flash.
Nothing is Beatleproof!!!!!!!!!
I took this at the Portland Japanese Garden in Portland, OR on 11-1-11. I took my wife to the Japanese garden a few days after her mother passed away, it is a great place to meditate and heal.
I shot this on my tripod with my D70 (before it decided to retire) using the 18-55 kit lens from Jennifer's camera. I shot at 26mm, f8, 1/4 sec and I think 200 ISO.
If you ever get the chance to go there, just do it.
It is what it is.

Im only a begginer, just starting out in a photography course....still so much to learn.
I offered a friend a free photo shoot of her beautiful little family to get some practise. Shooting a baby is a lot more challanging then I first expected but I really enjoyed myself. It really made me think about my future in photography and how much I still had to improve.
We worked in the lounge room with not so good lighting. This photo was edited with Lightroom and Photoshop.
Out of the experience though I got some beautiful images and alot of fantastic feed back. This was my favourite photo, it captures the tenderness and love of being a parent.
I hope every one loves it as much as I do.
havent been on this site for a while and this topic caught my attention and so here it is
This is a close up of the Centennial Flame which constantly burns over a fountain which portrays the the coat of arms for each Canadian province and Territory as it was in 1966. It is a central element on the grounds as it displayed at the pedestrian entrance and leads to the Peace Tower which is on the 88,480 meters squared grounds of Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Canada. You can see part of the tower of victory and peace in the background including a large group of people protesting a Bill C-10 proposed by the conservative party which includes 9 other bills and is dedicated to spending 9 billion Canadian dollars to increase protection. I took this photo November 26, 2011. The issue I had felt to adjust in post process was keeping the "Horizon" straight so I considered straight to be a reference to be vertical down the center of the tower, for symmetry I have been told to consider your longest line to be the "symmetric" one either 0 degrees or 90 degrees, i hope i make sense just trying to do my show and tell
1/396 sec f/1.8 ISO - 50 Canon 50mm 1.8
