Shame, love the shots. I'm going to be spending my time looking for a 2nd spider web every time i see one now.

Thanks! I hope you can find one. I've been looking for a year now, unsuccessfully. Sigh.

Unpolarized


Polarized

Both photos were taken with the same settings and on a tripod. The only difference was the rotation of my circular polarizing filter 90 degrees. The polarizer really cut down the glare coming off the rocks. I'm not sure which effect I like better for this scene. Hind sight being 20/20, I probably should have taken one more shot with just a 45 degree rotation of the filter to get a "middle of the road" effect. It might have added a little bit more character to the rock face. I guess I'll just have to go back there and try it again.

Taken on 8-15-2009 @ 8:35pm and 8:36pm AST respectively.
Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
Exposure: 5 sec.
Aperture: f/22.0
Focal Length: 24 mm

I was just in Savannah for class. I made it to TOm triplet state park and found countless of these bananna spiders throughout. Many webs had the dominant female accompanied by one or two little tiny males.

I liked them both, but I like the second better I think. It shows movement from the wind blowing,

Two Trees


Two for One: Shutter Speed!

With sunset illuminating the sky behind the tree, I figured I could either get the tree properly exposed, or the sky properly exposed, but not both!!! Since I'm a sucker for sunsets and silhouettes, I like the 2nd one the most... it's a much more interesting photo than the first imo, even though most detail on the tree is forfeit.

Hello, this is my first assignment so let me know if i did anything wrong.

I was experimenting with exposure compensation and these are two of the many shots I took. I like the first since the main subject is better exposed than the second, although the background might be a bit washed out.

The under side of water.

I wanted to do an ISO study using my waterproof p&s shooting the waves created by water jets. The pictures were taken underwater facing up toward the sun.

I like the ISO 100 because of the light/shadow balance and the way the sun is diffracted.
