Likes 'em all, but this image is wholly captivating. So simple, yet it took me a few seconds to realize what I was looking at. That's art, right there. Great image. Great use of light, exposure and overall composition.

Umm, thanks.
It's from the overpass at 410 and Pinebrook looking East.
Don't know where that is, but the street merger was a very good idea and played out well from concept to result.
Here's one of thousands I took with 35mm, but only scanned a few rolls. This is a 20percent. My scanned data at 2400 dpi is 20 megabytes and 3312 x 2112:
Well played Mouse, well played...
Classic
thank you. i love that shot - and amazingly, it's not HDR. that was just one shot. i upped the contrast and vibrancy, but that's pretty close to how it came out out of the camera.I'm a big fan of magic hour shots
thank you, again. chicago is one of my favorite cities i've ever been to. this was taken at close to 4am - coming from san antonio, it surprised me of how many people are alive and awake at almost 4am.Classic
Nice pics.
speaking of which, do you know what the best place to buy an SLR camera is in Houston?
That doesn't tend to work around here, except when it's all positive.
I like your pics though, so I am safe this time.
Hey Alamo50 does this dress make me look fat? I saw how they got on your in the wallpaper topic!
if you want to get hosed, check out any local Wolf Camera shop. they have to pay rent, so they jack up their prices.
example. a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens that i wanted to buy, cost me $1799 online, and $2200 in the store. just so i could get it that same day.
for BRAND NEW:
amazon.
b&h.
for USED:
houston craigslist.
EBAY.
good luck.
does B&H have a branch in Houston? or are you talking online? I'm looking for a shop. Somewhere where my friend (who is going to go buy it for me) can go and get it.if you want to get hosed, check out any local Wolf Camera shop. they have to pay rent, so they jack up their prices.

no. b&h is only in ny city.
i'm telling you, though, get in online - you'll save a lot, trust me.
if a few hundred $$ doesn't matter, then you can get them at best buy, costco, or wolf camera...depending which camera you want, of course.
personally, i'd have your friend go online and save him the money.
some recent stuff i've done.
What kind of strobes do you use? How many, and how are they set?
I figure you're asking Spurstalk.com's ringer ^ up therebut I typically use six AlienBees 800 and two hot lights. T
Hot Light = HL
AlienBee 800 = AB8
________WALL_________ (roughly 15 feet wide)
HL___\_________/___HL (off in any lighting not high key)
AB8__/_________\___AB8 (anywhere from 1/2 to full strength, typically 3/4 strength
AB8__| _subject_ |___AB8 (anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 strength, typically 1/2 strength
AB8__\_________/___AB8 (typically offside 1/2 and focusside 3/4 strength
I like to experiment by randomly unsyncing a strobe or turning it off, rather than down. This way I can see how shadows are used rather than just adjusted levels of light.
EDIT: The setup and settings for these two images are the exact same. The difference is the number of lights on from that basic grid.
In the first image, the main light (right) is on, the right side light is on, the left backlight is on while the right, along with the two left hand side and front lights are off.
