Yes. Some were taken with a Digital Rebel, some with the 10D that replaced it.

Do you have a higher rez version of the 2nd to last one? It would make good background on my work pc.

Hehe, that's what I use it for. Yes, I have a SUPER big file of that one. IM me your email and I will send it to you...as long as you give me credit for it if asked.

So you like shirtless little boys, eh?

What lenses do you hve in your lineup?

Heh, actually I LOVE that particular shirtless little boy...seeing as how he's my son.

What lenses do you hve in your lineup?

Right now, I have a Sigma 12-24, Canon 28-105 USM, Canon 50mm f1.8, Canon 70-200 f4 L and a Sigma 50-500. A couple of the pics above were taken with the 18-55 lens that came with my Digital Rebel that I used to have though.

You should take a serious look at the Canon 85mm 1.8 for any portrait work you might do.

I bought one and can't get enough of it.

I haven't seen the Sigma 12-24 yet. I bet that's REALLY useful with the digitals.

The Sigma 50-500 - is that the f4.0-6.3? I've seen it, and it looks like a great lens, but heavy. Is it?

Nice work.

Oh, you're damned right it's heavy. Only time you use that puppy without a tripod is when you can rest it on an open car window or a post or handy rock. You do NOT hand-hold that lens. I only use it for wildlife shots, basically.

Well, the 50mm 1.8 works out to about an 80mm with the crop factor...
I don't do much portrait stuff anyway, to be honest. My favorite shooting is landscape and wildlife.

It sure is---it's a must for anything wide-angle because of the 1.6x crop factor with a consumer level digital SLR. It's great for landscape shots.

Roger. I used a monopod with my 400/2.8 when I was doing auto racing stuff. I don't have a digital SLR, and my T-90 hasn't seen the light of day for about 7-8 years. Does your SLR have motorized zoom, or is zoom only controlled on the lens barrel?

Lens barrel. It works just like a film SLR as far as operation goes.

Gotcha. Thanks. Must abandon this thread before I start asking more questions and surfing camera sites!

These are a few of my favorites:

I used to hang out on them a lot more, but I'm getting bored taking pictures around this town...there's only so many pictures of herons you can take before you just get burned out on them. I plan on using the camera a lot this summer when we take a tour of the Pacific Northwest.

IM incoming.

As for credit ... will "it was shot by some dude who posts on one of the net message boards I frequent" do?

I hope so, because I've had the small version up as background and two people have asked about it already and that's the line they got.
