Holy • the water and docks look awesome!
Awesome picture Tim What lense do you use, and do you use manual focus?
And for that matter, what camera?
cell phone camera
Nah, I use a Canon DSLR, the 300D.
Evening at DCA down by the docks.

35 second exposure around 9pm.
Almost an entirely different operation.
Cool I use a 20D, and I notice it hunts alot on low light situations. I will have to give this type of shot a try some time.What's manual focus?
Actually for that photo above the technique I use is to use the autofocus and let it lock onto something in the frame. I think for that shot I focused on the shore on the other side there. After I got it to focus I flipped it to manual focus so that when I hit the release (I also used a cable release) it would not try and re-focus and get lost due to lack of lighting. Usually when you have low light conditions autofocus tends to hunt alot and you lose the shot or have a long delay and then an unfocused shot.
Other than this type of photography though, I can't think of another time I ever used manual focus.
Oh yeah, and the lens was that cheapo kit lens that comes with all the Canon DSLRs. 18-55mm.
I think this was shot at 18mm and I had it bulb mode and left the shutter open for about 35-40 seconds even though the plane was long gone after about 5 seconds. Had to leave it open that long to pick up as much light as I could.

They got rid of all the popups. It is pop-up free nowDo they still have all those pop-ups over there? That is the only reason why I don't post anything there. If they removed the popups I would be there too.
