    Ah, nice too see that we are starting over again...the last thread got derailed in the quickness.[​IMG]

    Anyways, as a lurker in the previous 2 threads I think I am going to start contributing more.

    Here are a few random shots...

    Always been a fan of your photos. Great composition on your rig shots and sharp as usual, especially the second from last shot.

    Dude, what you've shown has really impressed me. I'd honestly be interested in seeing more of what you've taken.

    Well since the old thread is gone (R.I.P) I think we should start this thread off with some type of year in review. Everyone should pick 5-10 of therefavorite images from the year of 2009 and share with everyone. I will post some of my shots once i go through them all.

    i second this. i think 10 is too many though, 5 sounds about right. the more pictures people put in one post, the less each one is looked at. it's like visual diarrhea a lot of the time, esp. when self-editing goes to hell [​IMG].

    ^^nice shot under the pier cameltrophy. i dig that composition

    Thanks for the advice and tips. People are real responsive and helpful throughout this thread.

    Hope it stays that way and not like the last one.

    Rap taking the reins......good job dude. We really needed a reference page for basic stuff. Maybe you can add the questions that always gets asked likebeginner DLSRs and even good point and shoots. That way, we can filter all the useless stuff and keep with general stuff that we always post or talk aboutthings that need more attention.



    Anyways....you know I love this post. Most of my 1800+ posts have been in this thread. Some junk over the weekend:
