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.


edited: brightness +50 and contrast +25 / slapped a box boarder
original size: drip drop



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.

 

^^^cool beans.



yeah, my rear window is really that dark.



it's officially summer in ny.

 

WOW

im luving all these pictures...wish i had a badass camera

 

Haha I was selling mine dirt cheap for about a year! All you had to do was ask

 

i'm having too much fun with it though.

 

awesome pics!

 

tinkering around in adobe lightroom 3.4

 

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:

 

very good man!

 

i met up with a friend of mine at a local skate park (a small one) and decided to try out some action sequence shots.

here's the first one, so far:



this one was easy because nothing overlapped:

 

My new sister in law.

 

I saw those on your facebook page! Very nice

 

shitty facebook links but you get the idea, some of my work:

 

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:

 

here should be a larger copy, full size just pm me your email.

 

 

hey man, no offense meant at all. just thought this picture needed a tiny touching up

 

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.

 

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

 

uh, this one counts because i took a picture of my face. =P



there's nothing really interesting to take pictures of around here so here's something i found in my back yard.
