Man in the Mirror
I wish I had a photo editing program to sharpen this image. Shooting in a mirror was more challenging than I thought it'd be. No wait! I should've just cleaned the mirror. Never mind.

Impossible dream
I've alway thought I would have loved to live in the 30's or 40's and be a famous singer! But I'm happy with pretending. :)
Catching on and Catching Up!!
Started My Wheels Turnin'
A couple of weeks ago Shawn started posting pic's on facebook from this project--which I knew nothing about, but have always been fascinated with photography and wished I knew more. So, I decided to start taking more pic's and trying to edit them--besides the millions I take of my kids. Theses winter pic's are some of them, so I was really excited to learn more and get the invite from Steff! The wagon counts for my 'vehicle'.

Need Help with DOF
For those interested, and to close out this post with an update. This is the same car, camera, lens, flash, but the result of post-processing 6 images with CombineZP. However, as I have discovered, one virtually requires a supercomputer to do this kind of work. It took some three hours on an older computer, but still not a wimp of a machine. Can't imagine the processing time for a dozen 5MB or so images! Hope one of our assignments includes macro work, a whole new world of photography! Amazing, this was not even possible before the days of digital images....
Group, need technical help! This is a flash photo of a (obviously!) model car. There must be something I am doing wrong, as I cannot get a quick shutter speed when in Av (aperture priorty) mode. The flash goes off, but the camera acts as if it doesn't know the flash is the lighting source, and takes a long exposure. So, I put the camera on P (semi-auto), all works correctly, except the camera decides my aperture (f 4.0) and alas, poor depth-of-field. Of course if I backed way away and cropped, could probably do the trick, but no cropping here, and not desired. Most likely some dumb operator error. Adam, I believe you are a Canon person. Any ideas? Also, has anybody worked with CombineZP or Zerene? Both are software to combine multiple images shot at slightly different focus distances to solve such problems as this.
