well I'm going through my old stuff thanks to Sonolta's responses in the storage thread and I came across this image I had intended to clean up and print and never got to it. I think this should would have ate my beercan. but do you think it's worth printing?

The only distracting item is the car. The rest is great.

I like the car, it brings the light and details of the clouds down into what would have been a whole lot of darkness. The colors are nice, but I'm not sure what would make the picture work for me.

Wow thats an old one..

Ok maybe this one is more to your taste. Taken a few minutes before. the boy is trying to race the jeep. he ended up winning too. the jeep got swamped about 200' from this point.

I love QuickFit brake pad replacement service porno shots!

If this was sand and sea, the best way ever to shorten the life of a Jeep. Fresh water and a lake, that's OK.

Great shot, but really this would be much better as an HD 1080p movie

heh jeeps rust out fast enough around here without an ocean to help. that was Lake Huron. about the video I suppose it would. the sparkling highlights are just exactly the kind of thing they use for HD demo tapes. I can't remeber if there was anything to make the jeep bounce up and down so it might have been ok . it wasn't going very fast... to bad he didn't have a snorkel though

I really like this one! It's got a story and the composition is fairly balanced. I like how the boy eclipses the brightest part of the water highlights. Also, you've got quite a lot of depth very sharp, and action to boot! How did you do this?

heh. well this was an F17 shot. and I just grabbed it and posted it after resizing (larger). notice how small the file is? it was already edited once. the original file was put away and all the work on this has lost some details in the sky but it still looks pretty good I guess.

Thanks

I don't have a lot of experience shooting water or action, so I'd have thought it would be harder to capture tiny droplets of it like you have. F17 would have to be pretty slow.

Well the drops are caught in the light. the F717 has a nice sharp F2 CZ lens on it. slow isnt what I would have called it. but of course things are better now with the SLR. still though sometimes I think the best lens I own is probably trapped on that F717

Ah! I think I misunderstood you...I thought you were talking about an f-stop and you were talking about a camera.

Ahh.. wow F717. the lake would have frozen over by the time the exposure was done

I think that's where I got lost. F717...can you say "pinhole?"

It looks a little funny to me. The photo looks like you're about to witness a guy being run over on the beach.

adding a little punch would not hurt:
