I worked as a photography editor and participated in judging a few contests. 80% of people sent in pics of clouds and sunsets or pics of their animals in funny clothes. I hate seeing pics of either now from seeing all the submissions.
The winning pictures would usually be the ones with a unique subject matter captured in action.
I did save that last one to my computer though, very nice

Thanks man. I have tons of pics from around the grand canyon and southern utah but there all on film. I did however take some pics today that didnt have anything to do with clouds or sunsets
I usually dont do people shots though.

I got a little picture happy last night and took 100+ by myself with the DSLR. I have to say I'm a little unhappy with how they turned out. I asked my friend Ben what the deal was and he asked if I wore contacts, of course I respond with a "Yes." Then he asked if I did anything with the diopter and I just kinda looked at him and told him "No?" Apparently, I'm supposed to set those settings first THEN focus. So, in turn, I got a lot of blur but I got some ok shots.
I believe I have the right concept, just need to learn how to use the camera.
*edit* Also, I had no tripod so I couldn't slow it down to get more color.

the pics are not to bad, you might want to checkout the book understanding exposure, I got it from amazon for like 16 bucks, well worth the money
what lens are you using in those pics?

I've never even thought about the contact issue...interesting. (they still look good though chickie!)
Here are some I took today of a deer in my back yard, to many trees these were taken with a rebel xt, canon 70-300 IS USM and some of them also had a Tamron 2x SP AF TC on there as well,the AF does not work worth a s*** btw with this lens.
this one is without the tc
with the tc
nothing special obviously, I could not get any angles without trees since it was surrounded by trees

My gear finally got here so I guess I should share a couple of pics.
This first one was taken with the new 70-200mm f/4L. Taken at 200mm and cropped, with a little Photoshop. I think you know what it is.
This second one is of my youngest daughter, taken with the kit lens but with one major update - the 430EX Speedlite with an SBM diffusor. Flash was bounced off the ceiling.
Will post more with the 70-200mm when I get some.

The moon pic needs a little less exposure or a little more contrast in order to make more detail visible.
Do you use the diffuser when you bounce the flash off the ceiling? I ask because that diffuser will eat a lot of flash power and its really not necessary when you bounce.
When I use my flash indoors with a low white ceiling I bounce my flash off the ceiling along with an index card rubber-banded to the back of the flash. This sends some light forward to remove excess shadowing. The diffusor also does this, but in addition to throwing some light forward, it also throws light to the left, right and rear. ALso, the light firing at the ceiling is diffused twice, which decreasing the output. While it may not seem like a problem now, this can have an impact in 2 ways. First, the flash has to work harder and consequently you drain the batteries faster. Second, while your flash tries to compensate for the diffusion by bumping the output, it can only compensate so much. Eventually you will run into a situation where you don't have enough power.
While were talking about flashes and batteries, I have scoured the net for the best possible (reasonably priced) battery charger. I think I have found it in the LaCrosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger. Its only $40 and appears to be very fully featured. I'm going to order one in a few weeks.
