Here are a few of my photos. These are older because they are the only ones I've scanned. Maybe this winter I'll have time to scan some of my newer work.

You don't appear to suck much f^3. Bravo!

Yes. Those are really nice. Good job!

Thank you footfootfoot for the beautiful pictures. I love walking through the woods, and this is an artistic walk indeed.

The water ones are my favorites. I love the water.

Thank you all. I reserve suction activities for special occasoins, thus you shouldn't see much of it here. ;)

Damn Nice Foots !!!!
Dude get a flickr page so we can see the full size pics !!!

Great talent. I always love the B/W shots. Guess it opens the imagination.

What lenses are you using FFF? I'm trying to research a good pair of lenses for my next camera purchase (Canon 30D.. my frist dSLR!) sometime next summer. I hope you don't say any L lens.. because those are a liiiitle out of my price range to say the least.

Bullitt,
I refer you to http://photo.net for up to the minute discussions about lenses for the 30D. I don't do digital, those shots were made with a c.1954 Leica, a c. 1939 Rolleiflex, and a couple of more modern view cameras, mostly with schneider lenses.

But, regardless of the camera body, the most important link in the chain (besides you) is the lens. You'd do better to buy a box of quaker oats and a $3,000 lens than buying a $3,000 camera and a p.o.s. aftermarket lens.

Would you want to drive into the sun with a dirty, pitted windshield? It doesn't much matter what kind of car it is if you can't see where youa re going.

Unless of course, you shoot exclusively soft and atmospheric shots. :)

That's my spiel on lenses. They are the thing that focuses the light, the rest is just a fancy light proof box.

Ask Spexxvet what he thinks.

Beautiful. :thumb2:

Okay, that is the kind of response I am getting from alot of people in other photography forums. I'm thinking of getting a used nice digital, then getting one nice lens, then building up. I'm aborting the film route I learned in high school because I would rather have a nice digital which can do 5 shots per second, then have to shell out for a nice scanner and printer in order to digitally archive my photos

That makes sense to me, for you. I have so many negatives that I'd really want to get a scanner first.

A friend of mine has completely left his wet darkroom and has invested a humongous pile of coin into a new digital darkroom. Not such a fancy camera and it doesn't take interchangeable lenses either.

His work is amazing, mainly because of his eye. The digital part of it is just capture and printing. Even with the best digital darkroom gear his prints are just begining to approach what he regularly achieved in the wet darkroom.
