The official "Put up or shut up" thread

[inTempus]

Wow.

I'm not trying to "poke" or "prod" anyone, (except maybe you now ) I'm just trying to get the thread back on track and see what he can do. His argument is moot for this thread, titled (by you) as "put up or shut up". What was not friendly about that that you didn't do yourself first?

Ok, ok.

Prodding accomplished.

STOP IT! :lmao:

Great idea for a thread, and way to keep it friendly. It's not about critique or brand wars; just about good shots and what they were made with. Here are two from a few weeks ago.

Pentax K10d
Pentax 16-50mm f/2.8
16mm, 4 seconds at f/16, iso 100

Pentax K20d
Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8
67mm, 1/60 at f/2.8, iso 1000

 

[Antithesis]

That last one looks like it was shot on a tilt-shift or something. Sweet shot.

Here's a couple of mine, though not very recent. I lost a bunch of my recent, and I think best, work. Oh, and these photos have no editing other than in-camera sharpening and contrast. They are mostly just vacation snaps too:

Oh, and flickr is down or I'd post up some really old stuff, heh.

Heh I'll add something, but I think it pails in comparison to a lot of what has been posted already - some great shooting here from all!

Canon 400D, Sigma 70mm macro, 1.4TC and some flash

mrodgers, your photos are what this thread is all about, you don't need to spend thousands on equipment, especially if you know how to use the equipment you have! And sir (or ma'am), you definitely know how to use your cameras, I applaud your photos!

Quoted for truth!

Thanks Mrodgers, for your post.

Canon Rebel XTi
70-300 f/4-5.6 IS
150mm
1/800 sec at f/5 and ISO 200
Spray and pray with the Rebel's meager burst mode, and I managed to catch a slick backfire flame. One of my favorite shots from the day.

Canon Rebel XTi (400D)
70-300 f/4-5.6 IS
300mm
1/640 sec at f/5.6 and ISO 200
I think my favorite part of this image is the exhaust heat coming from the tail pipe. The guy was doing front stalls with a 180º turn and landing the other way. Didn't fall once, and I grabbed this one as he was coming my way.

Canon Rebel XTi (400D)
18-55 f/3.5-5.6 (non-IS, old kit lens)
18mm
1/200 sec at f/9 and ISO 100
Taken from Odaiba looking back at downtown Tokyo and the Rainbow Bridge during a trip to Japan in 2007.
