Build your own photo gallery site (Weebly.com) . . . link it to social media sites. I set this one up in less than one hour, and update it regularly. I post to Facebook and Twitter when I have a new post, and get lot's of traffic that way. Let me know if you need help. www.justinround.com

Except for Squrils photos, all the others look like Ebay pics. Seriously you guys. Are you just looking for an excuse to show off your plastic? Has anyone heard of a lightbox?

Hey! More Fish in the Water, what kind of chef are you? :?:[/quote]

I'm classically trained so my technique tends to be French mostly, but I do it all. I work for Whole Foods right now, and we put out a wide variety of ethnic, and regional foods.

I have a food blog (that is being neglected due to all my other websites) www.pleasantpheasant.net Here I lay out recipes and dinner menus. I take pictures of all the steps when I cook at home, and set them up in interactive slideshows done in Flash. Check it out. It's fun.

Hands down, the most useful plugin that I have found is Noise Ninja . . . talk about awesome. It's very handy and easy to use. It's by a company called Picture Code. I have the dinky student version, so the plugin can only be used on one picture at a time. With the pro version, you can set up a batch action with NN and remove the noise from a series of images at once! BOOYA! Take that Topaz!

Were these done in Painter?

Okay, and this last one (only because you asked Steve :) ) This pic was taken on a photo walk through Denver. It was intended to demonstrate the ubiquitous "rule of thirds" for a class project.

I'm really proud of this shot. Handheld, I managed to hold this steady as the train entered the scene. Notice the traffic light and clouds behind the train? That is actually behind it, and was burned onto the image before the train came by. I just got a little unwanted blur from the woman's right hand. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

A double exposure made with my 120mm camera

This one is shot with my DSLR attached to a Newtonian telescope and operated by a computer. Couln'd figure out how to activate mirror lockup while attached to the scope so the image is a tiny bit blurry.

Here's a pic from a recent trip to a plantation in Savannah.

I'm new to the forum. I live in Nashville presently, but looking to move soon . . . perhaps to the midwest. I work as a chef, and I brew my own beer. I just finished digital design school, and I have several websites. I look forward to participating in this forum. I find fellow shutterbugs a wonderful source of inspiration. This should be fun.

1. Canon 450d (DSLR)
