Straighten your lines. I tweaked it a bit also.
It is a good photo

The only thing that bothers me is the person on the left, since he's blocking the guy sitting as wel as the glasses.

haha, i tryed to use them to make them part of the frame.

I feel like i'm trying to look around them at the bartender, which i think makes it feel more candid. At first i was bothered by it too, but i started liking it.

Soooo, question bosstones.....

did you take that picture into a mirror?

or is there some random person on the other side of the room taking a picture of you too?

Thanks. lol...I need to go back thru the other pix to see what else I missed (especially any obvious things I missed). I was running on fumes when I did some of them. What else did you tweak? That pic is from SF, BTW. Laszlo @ Foreign Cinema.

All I have to say is, where is your coach now? Go Blue.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to do actually. I just wish there was someone on the right side as well to balance it out. I was by the door when I shot this so there was no chance in hell of that happening.

just a couple things, nothing too much

[Weebl]

It could have been worse, I don't know how to use either LR3 or CS5.
Can't drive the car either.
but I know how to press a shutter button.

If Udub were to go hang out in Colorado and be taken to all the national parks and stuff, I guarantee he would start wanting to shoot wildlife, there's just so much of it there.

Wildlife is one thing but I feel like there is this clan of hard core bird photographers. I just never understood the strong attraction some people have to birds - not wildlife, but JUST BIRDS (bird watching). Again, not criticizing anyone, you can shoot whatever it is you want to shoot (God knows Chewy has an HD full of testicle macro shots), just was curious what gets people into birds specifically.

I'm still waiting for the final verdicts from the NCAA.

And yet, my macro lens still wasn't able to capture yours.

sounds like you need the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x

reviews say it's basically a microscope as it doesn't have an effective area outside of about 2 through 6 inches from an object where most macros can go to infinity.

[Weebl]

and a fantastic lens
must put that on the grant list...

That still might be pushing it... this is Badger we're talking about, after all.

joking aside... this is not my shot, but... damn!

did you do a search for the lens i said and that's what you came up with? it would make sense.

I like the idea of it, just doesn't seem worth it, unless i'm getting into some serious jewelry photography or some.

I like the results though.

Not a macro but I like this shot in Black and white:

Admitting you're taking photos of my junk... And the truth shall set you free.
