Hi Paul. I just bought myself a D200 so have been looking at portfolios of photographers who have the camera here on UF. Have to say this is a very nice shot, and I really like the way the lens takes it all in. My next upgrade is a nice lens of course. Will enjoy looking at more of your work.
Thanks for sharing ~ James

hi John. thats a pretty sharp photo. quite colourful as well. I never seem to get close enough to those birds to take the photo like that. but thats a big lens you shot the photo with though....
take care john ~ James

Hi John. This was one of my first digital photos with my Fuji S5000 camera. Actually I like this photo but the camera had a lot of limitations, but was a great camera to learn digital photography on. I would like to go back to that place again and take that same photo again, but would need a lot of luck to get the foggy conditions just right again.
Thanks ~ James

hi aj. i just managed to get myself a D200, and am trying to learn more about the post processing process (want to maximize my chances of better photos with this very nice camera).
regarding your comment about sharpening as a last step, which forum was that being discussed in? i'd like to find it. not sure why sharpening needs to be last. in fact, i've always sharpened as my penultimate step, before resizing, but would like to see the entire discussion as it happened if you could point out where i can find it.
thanks. james

i spent several years of my life living in st james, and lived near the airport. used to see these flying around all the time in those days, and that was just mid to late 70s.

winnipeg does have its share of older buildings downtown. great to see this part of our heritage is being preserved. these buildings have all but disappeared from many cities around the world these days in the rush to "develop."

that looks like it could be dangerous work, although i did notice the harnesses after a second look. good one for the work project indeed.

John, excellent use of depth of field here (and your title is very fitting). I've never tried to take photos of such simple household items before, but you've given me an idea here.

The photo turned out well. I saw the link for this while looking at dave's photo. i prefer the winter scene more i have to say, the contrast between the snow and the blue vessel is more striking. take care ~ James

Hi Dave. Good photo that shows you what Winnipeg is about in winter. Snow, a plastic toboggan and cold. Could be a bit sharper but its ok i think. My first digital camera was a Fuji S5000, definitely an easy camera to learn digital photography with.
A side note, i grew up in Winnipeg but havent been back there since 1984. I guess its a lot different these days.
Take care ~ James

Hi debra, yes a pano would maybe be better here. i tried photos of this bridge from all angles and this is one that i liked more than the others. i'll likely be back in that area this summer, so may try it again, different colours at that time as well.
take care ~ james

i echo the first post, i thought there was a sense of motion in the photo as well. interesting. hard for me to tell what time of day you took this photo, cant see enough of that shadow on the left (looks like a shadown) to know. But I suspect Greeks like to take time off in early afternoon, which would explain everything boarded up like this. well done john ~ James

good DoF here and positioning of the goat. never seen too many goats in my life, but they do seem to be strange creatures... compared to ducks, cows and others.

excellent photo AJ. I've seen plenty of crabs and other sea creatures up close but never bothered trying to take photos of them. they usually run away rather quickly. I always had problems with the remote release with my D70... usually just ended up using the timer instead.

good shot. the engine room (and the engines) seem small for a ship of that class. i've been in the engine room of some navy frigates in the past and they're a lot bigger.
i see you have a new camera. I was going to look at a D300 as well, but settled for a D200 that I bought in Hong Kong last weekend. I'm sure you'll get good use out of it, as will I.
