Excellent photos! the details are just incredible. Makes me want to get rid of the N80 and pick up the new slr digital. With all the lenses I already have it would be a great option. Keep posting your work cause I throughly enjoyed looking at them.  :D

after close to 30 years of film i finally went full digital.  sold my nikon f100, mb-15, and sb-28, and bought a d70 body.  i also bought the ml-l3 IR remote.  no more shutter release cables :)  i'll have my d70 tomorrow--also picked up a sandisk 1gb ultra II CF card.  next on my list is a ultra-wide prime.  the kit lens was redundant from 35-70mm--i have the af f2.8d version.  can't wait to get this camera!

was out shooting on the mall here in DC the other night and came up with these while messing around with the star effect filter.  i like the washington monument shot for the overexposed Walk sign which randomly created the red/white/blue burst in the foreground of the memorial.  kinda neat.  the others are mediocre but night shots are fun.

i just got the filter and hadn't used it before.  i now know what happens when you over expose with the star filter.

the star filter is a great toy, but the one fault most people come into when they first get it is that they just use the hell out of it.  i love it for certain things, but man can it get overdone quick.

definitely.  but i figured the only way to learn with it was to go out and shoot a bunch of shots and see what happens.  nice toy to have in the bag though.

absolutely, that and a red filter, both just great tricks to have with you at any time.  i realized i forgot to pick up a uv0 filter for my summalux.  ugh.  well ill just be very very careful with it.  problem with the leica lenses is that they are super strange sizes sometimes.

What type of camera/lens did you use to shoot the pics of DC? Star filter looks like a nice toy to keep in the arsenal.

canon 10d body.  lens for the first shot: 70-200mm/f4, other two: 24-70f/2.8.  to be honest though, the only essential piece of equipment for those shots was a good tripod.  they are all 6 or 8 second exposures.

I'm looking at the Vivitar tripods ... anyone ever use one? Damn, Damon, your lens arsenal has grown!
Out of the game … for now?

you people and your zoom lenses :-P

i have used the vivitar tripods, they are ok.  im not so much a tripod guy as a monopod guy.  it's rare for me to have exposures that long, but sometimes it happens.  generally i can get away with a monopod though and it is way lighter to carry around
