4th of July Fireworks!
I liked how this one came out. You can see each piece broken off and shooting off in each direction...
I don't remember the Aperture and Shutter speeds but I shot all of them at ISO1600. I had to keep the Aperture and Shutter speeds close to the point where the surrounding area was dark but was fast enough to not completely blur the fireworks.
Luckily I got a grasp on working with it. Everytime a firework went off the camera would stop complaining about the Aperture being too low (I was working in TV Mode, Shutter priority). So I would snap a shot off when a firework would explode!

Nice Blue.. Capturing fireworks is haaard. When I had my Canon a few years ago I tried to capture some new-years fireworks, out of maybe 80 shots.. 2-3 were good. 
Got a new lens.. I now feel that I have the complete range of lenses, from 17-70mm zoom-lens to 70-210 beercan to my most recent, Tamron 90mm 1.28 1:1 macro.
Exposure time: 0.067 s (1/15)
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO equiv.: 100
Exposure time: 2.500 s
Aperture: f/18.0
ISO equiv.: 100
Exposure time: 0.600 s
Aperture: f/16.0
ISO equiv.: 100

BlueTsunami: Capturing fireworks is something I've always been very jealous of. It's something my little point and shoot is completely incapable of. Maybe one day!
Forsete: All three of those macro shots are fantastic! The clarity is great and you've really managed to make the most ordinary, every day (apart from the pocket watch, I suppose, it's pretty archaic! What's the paper it's laying on?) items interesting again! Good job.

Thanks Yonn, aidan.
aidan, I put it on a book which I bought from a second-hand bookshop. Its "Naturläran för Sweriges Allmoge" Dr. Nils-Johan Berlin 1857 (thats why its printed in the nice to look at but hard to read font, fraktur), freely translated that would mean "Natural science - for the swedish peasents" - basically released to try and educate the country folk about science. The earth, the flora and fauna of different parts of the world, solar system, weather system etc. Its very detailed and I was surprised to see how knowledgeable the science folks were even back then.

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I cant stand most insects, but I really like samusx's dragonfly picture. Its a very good photo.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like the dragonfly shot. He was a pretty cute little guy.

Probably my last image until I return from Greece, at which point I'm sure I will have many to share. This is one I took during the fireworks, at work, while working, for work. Will probably be used on the site, and maybe in press and fliers for next year.
tokkun, that's a very nice picture you've taken (I do agree with you on the boy's shadow) but it's very big, and causes H-scroll even on my rather wide monitor. Can you shrink them down a bit from now on?
Anyway, the b&w competition theme has made me pine for my Pentax 35mm camera, although photographing with that is difficult. If I had a negative scanner, though, I'd feel much more at home; anyone know of a quality scanner that would load 35mm negatives? I have no idea of even how to look for one.

wow guys, talk about inspiration.

I've used a Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED at school, but that's the extent of my experience with them. I think that model is kind of old, but it worked pretty well for me. Here's a photo I scanned with it; the dust and scratches were on the film and aren't the fault of the machine. Camera is a Maxxum 70, lens is the old Minolta 70-210mm f/4 and film is Ilford HP5+.

Hope this comes out ok...
you guys have inspired me to go out and shoot more and more with my crappy camera :lol
BTW, any suggestions on how to shoot at night? I was standing up thru my sunroof taking those and I hate/love how they came out. Any ideas on how to get it...clearer? (LOL with out buying a new camera)

starchild excalibur: wow.
tokkun: I try to keep my pictures within 700-800 pixels wide, and nobody's complained yet (even though I usually post some of the largest pictures in the thread).
aparisi2274: cool pictures! how did you get the angle here? I take it you have access to a nearby roof? interestingly enough, I took a similar picture to your first one last time I was down there.
thatbox: interesting. I think my college has something like that, although I don't have access to that right now. I have used a film scanner in high school, but it was a supercheap Epson flatbed that had negative scanning tacked on, dulling all the shades. I'll look into the Nikons. Anyone else have an opinion?

I rode the Astrotower to get those angles...
I posted this in the gaming forum's OT thread while the OT was down, and since this could use a bump I'm reposting it. Anyway, I went to a boat yard on Cape Cod, and took some pictures. It's amazing; some of these looked like garbage in color but once I changed them to B&W they looked much better. Anyway:
1/800s, f5.0, 32mm, iso100
1/500s, f5.0, 23mm, iso100
1/500s, f5.0, 23mm, iso100
And one in NYC:
1/640s, f5.6, 50mm, iso100
more at the flickr page
Obviously I was thinking of the photography assignment; these are the rejects.

We've had so much rain this summer, it's been nuts. The Denison Dam which helps control the Red River and Lake Texoma (on the border of Texas and Oklahoma) has only ever gone over the emergency spillway 2 times in it's 60+ year history. The third time happened this past weekend.
(This is what it normally looks like from some random dude's picture.) The whole area to the right in this pic and my first pic is not normally water. There is a road there (you can see the sign in my pic below) that leads to a state park. It's just crazy seeing all of this underwater because I've camped at this park probaby 20+ times.

"Wow" again, nice work aidan!
Thanks guys. I'm really proud of those shots! I almost missed my ferry as I ran over to snap the one of the skyline with the crane in the sunset!
Here're some more. Not quite as exciting as the previous ones, but cool nonetheless, I think!
These're Assignment rejects/from the same shoot:

I've been experimenting with different shots on my old Canon Powershot A75 for a couple years, hoping that I'll be able to afford a Rebel someday. This is one of my attempted shots for the B&W assignment. Any advice you guys have to offer would be great, thanks!

anyone know of any good strobe kits for under $1,000?

If I'm being honest, the photo is just way too dark. Sometimes that works, but in this shot I can't tell what I'm looking at, and that takes away from any effect it might have had on me.
The photo you chose (of the Guitar) was definitely the right choice.

Thanks. I'd love to say that I purposefully chose the words that appear in focus(ish), but it was all happy happenstance! Glad you like the photo.
Now we just need to get this thread to the next page so people will start posting photos again!

Something I took with assignment in mind - not sure if I'll replace my rabbit pic, though:
efs17-55mm, 17mm, f8.0, 1/80s, iso100
jal: I have same sentiments as Aidan.
mrkgoo, this is a fantastic picture, and I definitely like it more than your first bunny submission. I wish the sky above the trees weren't blown out; with some definition there this photograph would be incredibly otherworldly. Although, if anywhere had to be blown out, the spot behind the clump of trees is pretty much perfect, and looking at it some more I'm not sure why I though more definition would improve it. The white silhouetting the trees is pretty powerful, too.
