        what a story to tell. i love the subject.. and to have effort at 3:00 to capture that: thats what they called "passion". thanks espresso for sharing that. no doubt you love espresso to keep you awake, β˜€

              Nomeradona, I take my hat off for you. You are the Master of Photography here.

              I had to look really hard in my Images folder for something half-decent, but here come the first one:

              I took this picture when traveling from Guayaquil to the Andean city of Ambato, in July, 2004. The road is windy and dangerous, in the middle of mountains and fog. I tried to took some sunset pictures, but sunset in the Equatorial region is pretty quick, so I soon found myself shooting in almost complete darkness. This photo turned out horribly blurred, but for some reason I really like the colors. When I saw the resulting image in the LCD, it reminded me of a William Turner painting, in which the light was far more important than the shapes. After I took this picture, the driver, a friend of mine, found himself in the middle of a dense fog, and with no sunlight, so he decided to follow the faint lights of a truck that was in front of us. I also think this photo has an emotional value to me because we were traveling to the funeral of my grandfather. I was not very close to him, however, since I lived in Guayaquil.

                This picture was taken in a park near the University where I had graduated, one year after graduation, in January 2005.
                I tried to achieve a "soft water" effect by placing the camera on a minitripod in the border, and using a slow shutter. It was 7pm, so the sky is not completely black, but navy blue.

                  In April 2005, my brother convinced me to visit a zoo with some friends. I usually don't like zoos because I prefer to see the animals running free in Animal Planet, and find zoos depressing.

                  This monkey had the saddest expression I've ever seen in an animal. He seems to have lost all hope of escaping his cage. What is he thinking?

                    That's a tough shot without the water backlit.
                    The shot of the monkey says it all. Breaks your heart.

                        nice try but i think you have to decrease the time more of the shutters speed. this way you will have softer and brighter image. i think half second is still fast. The f measure also you could increase it though. the DOF is indeed really shallow thats why you end up with a bit blurry image. once you increase the fvalue you will see, you will have a sharper image and softer water because of the slow shutter speed. Dont worry anyway your camera is in the tripod. One lasting make the ISO as low as possible i will go for 100 and dont touch it. just experiment with the shutter speed and aperture size.

                          the emotion has been really captured perfectly, nevertheless i want to comment on the image and hopefully will help you better. honestly I hate increasing ISO. of course there are new models where you can increase the ISO without having noise...

                          next time if you want to avoid motion blur,,,increase your shutter speed. at the moment the image was a bit overburn, i know you really want to show the lighting on the face right? because of that the fur on the sillohuette was burned. this is were reflectors will work by reflecting the light (even using ordinary white cardboard paper).
                          next time go to the zoo again and try to take similar subject until you perfect it. nothing really brings a very good emotion of animal or peson by having a sharp focus image. β˜€
                          i hope you will take this as constructive criticism as its my aim to help and bring all our skills to a much higher level.

                                Cool shot Remus, but, the part that intrigues me is all the stuff hanging off the tree cage. I would love to see it featured larger in the foreground.

                                  just a frame i guess to seperate the picture from the white screen. so as to lead the viewer to the image. did not realized that its annoying sometimes.

                                    I think he was referring to my cropping and hi-conning his photo... not directed at you. I pulled the shot... didn't mean to offend him.

                                        My photos don't come close to your high standards though.
