Hi Aimee,

Thanks for your message.. you're right, it has been a very long time since I've posted anything. I do have a bunch of pictures I'd like to put up, and I don't know why I haven't. It only takes a few minutes I guess; it just seems that with school you don't have time for much else..

Congrats on getting the dSLR - they're great. I like this panoramic shot: I like the darkness offset by the bright sun, and I think most of all I like the image quality. It's smooth and sharp, and that makes all the difference. Also, I think you've done a good job with your signature: it's inconspicuous (sp?) compared to some of the others I have seen. Great work and good luck with school!

Hi Teodora,

Love the angle of this pic. Saturation, sharpness and colors are great. Looks like there's something on your lens (bottom left corner). Thanks for sharing,

Hi Rajeev,

Thank you for your comments. This picture stood out for me: I like the pillars and their design, and the sharpness of the picture is amazing. B&W suits it well. I'm not sure how you could improve this picture!

Thanks for sharing,

Hi Hitesh,

A nice, abstract looking picture. However I'm not sure if reducing the exposure adds to the picture or takes away from it. It's interesting, but then again it's just a cloud and they come in all different shapes and sizes: never the same! Thanks for sharing,

Wicked shot Robin; I like the halo around the light! The lines work well and the exposure is just right. Good job.

Hey Sandip,

I was in India this summer and I felt so bad for the dogs; so many of them were treated badly and they looked so hungry all the time.. Made me realize that my dog is treated quite nicely! I like this pic and how it's overexposed. The shadow of the dog is great; it accents his frailty. Thanks for sharing,

Hey Stephane,

Beautiful shot! Love the blue and the green, the clouds in the distance and the snow. Well done!

Hi Javier,

Great shot Javier! The facial expressions of the kids are amazing - there's a lot to this picture.. Technically, I think the sky is a bit overexposed, but the boys in the picture make up for that! Thanks for sharing,

Hi Charanjit,

I've had a look through your pictures and I'd say the colors are just right in this shot. I noticed that most of your other pictures seem to be a little overexposed - sort of washed out and light looking... Those can be taken care of quite easily though in editing programs.. Thanks for sharing,

Hey Thomas,

Interesting shot and note. I'm not sure if I agree with the POV and the cropping though.. Also, the shot doesn't show how busy Hong Kong is; this shot could have been taken anywhere it seems.. I was in HK this summer and it's an amazing place! Cheers, and thanks for sharing.
