This photo caught my eye today. Have you ever looked at someone’s eye before? Maybe your own? I mean really looked at it. The details of the iris (that’s the colored part for us unedgumacated folk). It’s as if a painter dipped his brush into a palette and drew it with his hand. Ok, didn’t mean to get all poetic. Here’s what Tambako had to say -
I don’t think I look beautiful, but my eye color isn’t so standard, even if I saw people with green-gray eyes, they are rather rare around here. So why not show this color to the world? And in addition, I have a nice picture of my eye, it’s better and easier to see it in the mirror (but I’m not narcissistic
)
On the technical side, I took the picture myself, with my macro lens and the flash attached to the cable, and tried many many times to frame and focus it right, believe me, it’s not easy! And every time, the flash in the eye, that isn’t something I’d like to do every day. Anyway, I selected this shot as being the best of the lot!

This photo was taken on the day before I left the island of Boracay in the Philippines. The sunsets there are said to be one of the most beautiful and I can only confirm that. The sky was so clear and colorful that I decided to include it as the main subject in the photo. What I also like about it are the typical sail boats of Boracay that create a stunning silhouette.
Details: Nikon D40, f/3.5, ISO 200, focal length 18mm,
contrast enhanced in Adobe Lightroom 2

Notice how he used the strong back light to create a strong silhouette of the image? Try it next time you go out to take photos, but try not to burn your retina

It was days after the Chinese New Year celebration started but luckily those red plastic lanterns were still there. So I got the chance to capture this beautiful atmosphere. It was my intention to include part of the Petronas Twin Towers (centre) in the background to make this photo a bit more eye catching.

Well, I had another thing in mind when I took this picture. This shot was practically a mistake. I hated how noisy it was, the fact that my little sister was a silhouette and the horizon not being aligned. I almost deleted it but I then remembered the last time i hated a picture of mine and how popular had it been after editing so i thought “why not?”
It was taken in Aruba, my favorite place in the world, specially to shoot sunsets.
I had just seen a picture of a little girl jumping with an umbrella in her hand and a beautiful sunset behind her on my pc and wanted to do something like that so i bought an umbrella and went to the beach that afternoon to wait for the sun to set.After i edited this picture, i realized how much i loved it.. It was so different and nice! Everything that i hated before i loved it now. I felt proud of myself and my work!
Hope u love this shot as much as i do

I really wanted to show a sense of peace in the image and I really thought that the longer my exposure was the better the image would show what I was trying to express. It shows more time and more depth into where it was taken and the atmosphere of the picture. It came out pretty awesome.

This photo was shot at the Honolulu Family Festival and it was part of the activity for a photo workshop I was attending. There were no tricks to this shot, it just required a little patience.
I walked around the ride a few times to find the right angle, from where faces could be captured. I also had to wait a few rounds for the ride to be filled with a little more people.
“Click” and I walked away. I think I was very lucky.Shot with:
Canon EOS 30D
Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM
