This was taken above Sunset Beach in Watsonville, just south of Santa Cruz, CA. I tried numerous shots and got a wide range of results using short and long exposures with and without flash. My daughter was racing around, so it was difficult to capture her without any blur. I was really pleased with this shot though. I think it attests to the value of using auto mode as a just in case when the lighting seems difficult to capture. I was quite surprised the flash didn't fire. I also posted another version on my flickr site that is more of a true silhouette. Let me know what you think.

So here's the story: We are at a fair in New Hampshire - The Balloon Rally. A severe thunderstorm is on it's way so we start walking back to our car. As we walk by an old cemetery (mid-1770's), I notice an old house sitting right at it's side. Immediately, I think of that 70's movie with Bette Davis in it - "Burnt Offerings" (creeeepy) and take a couple pics. I of course shot auto-mode and rested myself on the stone fence of the cemetery for stability. The flash did fire...but adds a unique dimension to the foreground trees.

My entry for this week's DPS Weekly Assignment. It was taken in full Auto mode, but I disabled the flash and set the ISO to 200 to minimize the grain. I hope those little details don't DQ me from the assignment, because I did nothing else to this. Digitally, all I did was convert from RAW to JPG, which seems to erase the EXIF data.

This is Naresh, my "jade" elephant. He's very old and very wise. Photo shoot was set in my kitchen with two aromatic candles. I rather like the results.

This was taken on a former highway bridge across a bay. It's lately been turned into an exercise/fishing bridge.

My camera has "intelligent auto" mode which picks, on its own, the best type of pre-set program to use for a particular shot. So, while the EXIF correctly shows this was shot in "landscape" mode, landscape mode was selected by the camera.

Bee on thistle, McLaren Park, San Francisco.

No cropping, no adjusting, no nothing except resizing. I shoot in RAW, so this is the "basic" JPG that the camera generates in the Raw+Basic mode. I considered a few other shots for this, including a creepy photo of a fly on a bird of paradise plant; they're on my Flickr page. --Ed

I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a real photographer, I just don't like tampering with my pictures. I usually feel as if I've made the image worse than it was when I started.
