I'm no photographer by any definition, but I am enjoying learning my way around my new DSLR. I thought that these two came out ok.

Not a B&W shot. Just a funky gray frog on the concrete.

Beautiful photos everyone! It makes me want to get a nice camera (all I have is a run of the mill digital cam).
Sorry, just saw this. This was using the lens that came with my Canon XSi - not sure what it is off the top of my head, just a stock Canon zoom lens.
Settings - f8, ISO 200, exposure was 1/160.

I took almost this exact same picture last month in South Dakota....
Here's another favorite from last year.
Do NOT assume that you can't take great pictures with a "run-of-the-mill" digital camera. Read up a little about photography and technique, learn the controls on your camera, and take it off automatic mode. Any basic camera out there is capable of excellent photography. The real challenge is knowing when to push the shutter button!
I'll have to look into it more! I just figured my camera wasn't very good. I'll have to read up on the controls, as I pretty much just snap the shot. I'm good at getting the angles and setup that I want, the quality of the picture just ends up turning out poorly. Thanks for the advice!
Here's an example of a photo taken with an Olympus C-700 UZ digital camera. This camera was introduced in March, 2001, and has a whopping 2.1 Megapixel sensor (much less than most cell phone cameras have today). It's not the tool...it's the craftsman who's operating the tool. Just like you can get a great shave with a $5 Gillette Super Speed you found in a junk shop, or a $200 Feather stainless steel DE razor!
I made these last Friday on Ilford FP4 with a Minolta X-700 and 28/f2.5 lens.

Ilford? Isn't that some kind of film??? I vaguely recall that stuff...required you to play around with nasty chemicals in the dark?
Nice shots, by the way!

Thanks.
These are some off my trusty D60. I wish I knew more about photo editing - and cared more to carry a tripod more often.
