Thanks! I assume you've been up to the Apostle Islands before, eh? It was beautiful up there. We're talking about backpacking in the Boundary Waters next year.

No.. Tried talking the wife into going up there a couple years ago but we ended up going else where Maybe next year

Here's a few pics from my sons hockey game this weekend

I think I need a little faster shutter speed on the moving shots, thoughs ?

I think your shutter speed is fine. I like a nice crisp sports photo as much as anyone, but a little blur ads the element of motion. I'd say you might slow down the shutter a bit more every once in a while. Do one of those tracking shots where you follow the moving subject with the camera and shoot at the same time. It usually takes a bunch of attempts to get a good one, but your son will love it because it will make him look really fast.

I was driving through the middle of Ohio in the farm land early this week and I came up on this abandon Motel. A storm was blowing in and it gave it a dark and scary feel.

Haunted Motel

Looks like a still shot from the movie Identity. Nicely done.

Really like the feel of that one.

I had a few of those blurry shots, I'll have to go back and look at them, I thought they were not so good but I will post some and see what you think. Thanks for the critique, and any other tips would be welcome I was shooting a lot of continuous shots, kids coming down on the goalie and shooting, neat stuff, I'll post them later this evening.

Great picture!! I have a "No Camping" sign from La Pointe in my basement. I used to spend about 5 days every summer sailing around up there.

I finally have a chance to add a few more pictures from my trip to Maui. It's taken me forever to go through all of my pictures.

Wow - a lot of goodness going on in here lately!

Just returned from a very cool trip to Aravaipa Canyon in Arizona - some of the best shots I've taken to date and tons of wildlife:

Loving the images - keep em coming!

nice. Addison & Lincoln, right? I used to drive through that intersection on my way to work everyday. I've always wanted to take pictures of the old motels on Lincoln Ave about 5 to 6 miles north of there but never got ambitious enough to do so (and I no longer live near there).

Yup. Addison and Lincoln. I live about a half mile north so I walk around that area a lot.A couple photographer friends of mine have between them a pretty comprehensive collection of Lincoln Ave. motel photos. I'll add a link if I can find em posted somewhere.

One I shot in Colorado: Love the in-room hot tubs. I hope they use industrial-strength bleach when cleaning them.

Pic

very nice picture. I'm assuming you did some post-processing to get the corners of the picture darker. Do you remember what you did? I've been trying to find an easy way to give pictures a grunge? effect in Photoshop and haven't come up with anything good.

The way I make the corners darker (vignetting) is by first opening the image in PS bridge first. From here click the lens correction tab and use the post crop vignetting. You can also open PS and go to Filter>Distort>Lens Correction. There might be an easier way, but this is the best that I've figured out.

Scored on the first one, but the goalie stoned him with the glove on the second breakaway

Question, Is there anything that can be done to make the pictures clearer when shooting through the glass? TIA

Nice pics. Tell him to get a little closer before he shoots when he has a breakaway.

Thanks CrossFunny you mention that, because I have been preaching that to him for the last 2 weeks. He has a very hard shot, so he wants to blow it by them all the time, and he did go upstairs over the glove on the first one, but the second one the kid got his glove on it. He's 6 playing with the 7-8 year olds, so he's still learning, but I'm trying to drill it in his head to shoot around the bottom of the hash marks if the goalie is back, make a move there if the goalie is at the top of the crease.

You can try a polarizer. One thing it does is help limit the amount of reflection you get off glass surfaces.

There are a number of ways to do it. Vignetting as mentioned above is one option. So are slight opacity gradients in the corners (which is what I did in this case to control the color and intensity).

Thanks - I'm a little naive at Photoshop so this would be New Adjustment Layer _ Gradient Map. then choose Radial Gradiant Type and experiment a little?

Thanks - I'm a little naive at Photoshop so this would be New Adjustment Layer _ Gradient Map. then choose Radial Gradiant Type and experiment a little?

Actually, I just made a new layer, selected the gradient tool and in the gradient editor, I picked the "color/opacity" box and then picked the color I wanted that would fade to opacity when dragged, and dragged the gradient tool in the corners. I didn't use any radial tools or anything. Mine was just a quick and dirty.

Now that i'm home, i realize that with Photoshop 6 I don't have the quick vignette via Lens Correction. I was able to do your gradient trick - thanks, good tip for me. After a little exploring I came across this site that offered another technique for vignette.

I messed around with some older pictures I have and came up with this.

I'm still going to have to mess around with textures methinks to get the rough effect I'm looking for.

I sure miss having a photo or two to contribute to this thread. Been awhile since I had something unique to shoot. These aren't anything special, but what the heck:
