Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Love the first shot.Okay, here are some pictures from my first outing with aDSLR:
Some flowers. It's not perfect, but I kind of like how it came out.
Two closeups of bees... I like macro-style shots (these were taken with a non-macro kit lens though).
The macro - I want to try it, is it a pain in the ass? I don't want to take shots of inanimate objects, I want to do something similar to what you've done here. Bugs are unbelievably interesting. That being said, do you just prop up a chair, set up your tripod and wait? I've never done it but its definitely on my list.
The 1st two shots are Toronto:
This one here is Ottawa's art gallery:

For the macro shots, I sat down on the ground next to some flowers/bushes with a cheap 70-200mm non-macro lens and manually focused on the bugs when they landed near me (it's impossible to autofocus on the right spot when the bugs are moving around and the DOF is so shallow).
I really like the two Toronto pictures.
Damn. I'll give this a shot and post results. Although its winter right now and I'm probably not going to sit around in the cold

Those shots are really, really awesome.

Boat shot was with a plain-jane SLR and scanned forever ago from a printed photograph, so the quality is terrible =/
Bring the noise down a bit and the yellows and oranges up. Love this shot.Few shots of my favorite tree which is about 200 yards from my house. It's the same one that is in the pink fog shot that I posted earlier.

I rarely go out with the purpose of taking pictures, and when I do I usually come back with one or two decent shots if I'm lucky. I just carry my camera in the truck all the time and when I see something I whip it out and take some pictures. It helps of course that I'm out in the great outdoors all the time. That said, I suspect I have taken considerably less pictures this year than I did the couple years before that.
