thanks for the CC. these are more processed than i normally go for on other subjects, ill agree with you there... but for the fourwheeling pix, it was the look i was going for. so i can see where your coming from there, but it was intentional for this set.

im just using a d40, 18-55 and 55-200.

the f-stop, if im not mistaken was fully maxed out up top... i think i was standing some distance away with the 18-55, so it wasnt doing me much good. i have a 50/1.8 prime, but it wont autofocus on my d40, so using it without my tripod is pretty much impossible.

some of these are from flickr, and most of them are intentionally desaturated some. i know photobucket sucks, but most of the stuff like this ill upload to photobucket for ease of use.

heres one that i went a little different look for... HDR, sky was bright as hell that day.

and thanks everyone for all the compliments. i still consider myself fairly new.

all the blurring is motion blur due to shutter speed. i managed to pan a couple and came out pretty cool.

nikon shooter theres your problem (jk)

i like the HDR of the ram not over done. too often people way over process HDRs to the point they are grainy. though another thing if your shooting outside a good polarizing filter can do wonders.

Very nice. I like the beach poser pics and the second to last one. Looks like there is some photochop in there? I went to school for photo and film so I have an unnatural aversion towards processed photos. Keep up the good work though!

thanks! sweet pic. i have a pretty decent polarizing filter, at the time i was swapping lenses back and forth and ended up leaving it on the 55-200 and most of the shots i PPd were from the 18-55. would figure lol.

i try not to overprocess, sometimes i get a little happy but with the 4 wheelin pix i thought a lil over work would look kinda cool. i get mixed responses but most people seem to like it.

some post processing via paint shop pro x2. typically i wouldnt process that hard, but its was a new style i wanted to try and the subject matter worked well (in my opinion anyways)
