I shot this while on holiday with my wife in Bodie State historic park (CA) - the best thing was the long shadows and high contrast at the end of the day - we arrived only 1 hour before close! Textures and definition came out really well!

There are some amazing shots on DPS, i don't post much but watch quite regularly. My resolution is to post more in 2010!

I picked this photo because this is my first sports photo, my first full manual setting unlike most of my photos taken with either Av/Tv, and the most enjoyable yet, shooting alongside with other photographers and hearing a "machine gun" of clicks once the action begins... (novice in photography....)

Assignment: My Best Shot of 2009 - 19 July 2009

I'm kinda stuck with being only able to choose from a few photos. I never managed many photos this year thanks to illness and a broken auto-focus sub mirror assembly thingy on my 300D.

Anyway... This has been my favourite from the last year. It's not technically great but it's so different from my other photos that it sticks out in my mind. After discussing with a few other photographers they seem to be split 50/50 on whether it's too dark or not. Thats the look I was going for however



Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: No Flash

PP included bumping up the exposure a little as well as playing with the curves, messing with a little lens correction and finished with a little sharpening

Like others, I chose this one because I like the way it looks. The tiger is looking straight at the viewer and is intimidating!

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 200 mm

The reason I chose this as my best was the fact that I was able to see all of the elements beforehand and put them into place to make the image above from this:
