well, unlike most everyone else who commented, I rather like the first image. I like the fact that you chose the blueprint background.

the pic with out the track and base looks useless as we can see the wheels on the rear of the cannon base, but there's nothing for them.

stick to the original photo.

these are some nice pics but next time, try not to freeze the action. use a longer shutter speed and get some motion into the pics

Ok, I just looked on my external drives and could not find that pic anywhere. I must have deleted it somewhere along the line.

I do plan on going back out there sometime so maybe I can redo this pano.

In the meantime, here's a pano I did of the lake near me.

Lake Norfork, Pidgeon Creek Arm

Just did a quick scan on my computer and couldn't find it.

Maybe if I get the time I can look on my backup drives and find it.

The quick control sceen will get you to will let you change setting on your camera such as shutter speed, aperture, iso, etc.

I have a T2I and there is a button on the back of the camera that shows a "Q". Pressing that button will bring up the control screen which will alow you to scroll through using the up/down or left/right buttons. You can then change settings by using the scroll wheel on your camera and pressing "set" when finished.

Not sure if it works in auto or not. I always shoot in manual mode, shutter priority or aperture priority.

I like it too

I hate even dead spiders

leave the kid alone. he's only being a kid.

I was expecting to see something from the 101st Airborne Division

Donald Trump really has to get over his "birther" fantasies and get a life.

this photo expresses the fact that I would rather be inside on day like this

When it snows down here, we don't bother shoveling cuz it's gonna melt in a day or two anyway

martian invaders for sure :)
