Being a student teacher = win when you get a free SLR camera for teaching Media.

That's my little dog! His name is Spike and I found him at a lost dog's home. They were going to put him down because he was 13 years old and noone was going to adopt him

So I had to take him home.

All of these are at the closest focal point I can get at with this lens. Its a pain sometimes, because I scare off alot of bugs when I have to get so close, but I think I will get a macro when I get enough money.

That makes it even better.
Top work!

There is some serious quality material here... I especially like how some of the best shots are more because of good framing and capturing unique moments than skill at photoshopping or having an awesome camera.

I do mostly concert photography but I love landscapes like everyone else. I use a Canon Rebel XTi, usually with an EF 50mm f/1.8, but for concert shots I often borrow my dad's EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 (constant) and use a Speedlite (420EX). My only walk-around lens is the 18-55mm IS that was in the kit, but it's pretty awful in comparison to the 50mm (which was only $150) so my next purchase will be an EF 17-85mm. My site is at Through The Looking Glass but here are a couple shots I'm proud of.

These are from a recent trip to Washington State:

Here are some of my concert pics... These are all local bands in local venues. I know I gotta support the scene 'cuz I play in it.

Sorry to spam you. Here's the last few, four concert shots and an alley behind my house for good measure. Hope you like them.

Nice pictures. I tried to take pix of a concert, but it was difficult to capture a photo without using the Flash. i was trying to capture the lights too. Very few were net.
