I liked the knobbies better for looks, however the treads on the tire gave it an uneven surface, and while the unevenness was minor it added slight bumps and unevenness to the final result.
im not a big fan of the current wheels, they work great and smoothed it out, but i think they look teh gay.

im keeping my eyes out for something that looks more like the previous ones, but with smooth tires, and hopefully real real soft rubber so it can roll over gravel without tilting the camera.

finally! shot 125 out of the shots taken without the flash. i was trying to get the droplet somewheres in the middle for a cool gravity defying picture but my timing is horrible. plus, i'm limited to 1/200 for the flash and anything over 1/150 doesn't come out pretty enough.

next time i'll lock the focus on a pencil placed where the drop will be so the water is in focus.

so i grabbed a pen and focused on that right where the water would be dripping, set flash to on, shutter speed @ 1/200 and this is what i got. (shutter priority, not ready for the big m just yet)

came out pretty awesome. shutter still not fast enough but any faster without the flash will come out underexposed but the drop only moved a hair so i'm pretty close to the right speed.

here's the original version: big drop

you can actually see the faucet upside down in the last drop.

waterdrops are fun! There is a guy on one of the nikon forum boards who does waterdrops and actually managed to develop a rig and timing system that allowed him to catch a picture of a bullet shooting a drop of water.

flag day was june 11th and i decided to try and shoot some fireworks.

i underestimated how close i needed to be and it was also difficult to manual focus on black sky.

here's the best one out of the 70+ shots i took:

The star trails and the beach shots are great! Do you have the beach one in a higher res? I want to add that to my background slideshow.

Here's a headshot I took for my friend:

No doubt!

I think all of you are very talented and all of the pictures are excellent!

I concur most definitely!

My first attempt at taking a picture of the moon. Still need some practice.

Attachment 14114

I have tried taking pics of the moon before too, and the avg eye would think it would be so hard to catch, but since its always in movement the man in the moon doesnt like his picture taken!

Looks very crisp, sad to see our space shuttle is set for its last mission today!

Cant decide which one I like
Its between 1 and 3
