more photos

When I got home from school this evening, my neighbors were having a random skate session in the parking lot. I grabbed my camera and took a few snapshots in the uber low light. I decided that I really like high ISO black and white conversions. Probably my new favorite type of photography... Anyway, here's a few shots for your enjoyment.

I also enjoy photographing sports in general, be it snowboarding or skating or ultimate or whatever. I think I'm going to save up for a sigma 200mm f2.8 or something this summer. I just bought a 50mm f1.8 nikkor lens for my d70 today off amazon and upgraded to the super duper fast shipping, so hopefully I will see it before the end of the week. More on that when I get the lens of course...

I have recived a lot of positive feedback from the macro shots from a couple weeks ago, so thank you all! If you're interested, I got one more good one of a needle and some thread and an image for comparison. I'm racking my brain for other household items that would look cool up close, let me know if you think of any. One who shall remain nameless suggested that I take a shot of a certain plant which shall remain nameless, but the results left something to be desired. Once I perfect the process of shooting macro THC shots, I'll give 'em a post ;)

Awesome job Dave! You really do have a great eye for photography. Those skate shots were amazing. As for up close pictures...hmm...how about a regular old circuit board...or fire...ok maybe not fire...
