That was a well done photo. Congratulations

OrenMc · 09-22-2008, 05:31 PM

Thanks all for the kind very words.

This photo was taken with the Sigma 17-70 which I no longer have but miss the wide end.

This is another shot taken a couple weekends ago with my Tamron 28-75. The exposure is a bit better in this one but I didn't get the angle I wanted. I also didn't have a polarizer on the lens which I like to use sometimes in shots like this.

wow... i remember seeing this bridge a long time ago and the photo was excellent! good job

OrenMc · 09-26-2008, 06:42 PM

Thanks K100d,

Yes I posted it back in April just after I took the shot and shortly after I joined the forum.
Its been great belonging to this community, I have learned so much here.

This shot was one of my first attempts at night photography and I really did get lucky. I can get the same shot a lot easier now without having to tweek it PP too much.
I sure love this stuff !!!

Congratulations, this even got my first vote also even ahead of my own and yes it is ethical to vote for yourself even if it is second. jim

Thanks Kresica and jmc7104.
I was wondering if other thought it was ethical about voting for oneself. Everyone probably does it either way.
