Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Lenscap (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC for Canon
Location: Conejos County in Colorado
Date: May 16, 2006
Aperture: F5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/100
Galleries: Nature, Rural
Date Uploaded: May 16, 2006

 Editing: Crop, exposure, levels, noise removal, resize, smart sharpen, save for web.

I was always dropping lens caps and then never finding them again - I bought lenscaps of all sizes on strings from eBay. They make life much easier and you don't lose your lenscap.

This picture isn't really that good but I hate not having a picture up so I have a score to check. For some reason, days just seem so dull unless I have that score to check on. It seems like I'd rather feel slightly upset about a low score than do without having a picture up.

I want to rate you low just because you have a lens like that and I don't.

I like the composition, the lighting, DOF, and sense of "blowing in the wind". I even like the layers of colors and light in the background, and typically that bugs me. I like the warm light on the lens an lens cap and cool sky and mountain in the background.

Interesting idea. Might have liked to see a bit of the camera as well, but this works.

Nice warm light---would have been better (in my opinion) if it were cropped tighter at the top

Not a very original idea, but very beautifully executed.

Like it - the motion blur adds interest to a simple but effective image.

This one makes me uncomfortable, I'm not sure why.

Nice lens. Great idea. The picture are good, like the compisition and love the light. But the DOF... Well the cap is not in first plane as the lens. Leading my eyes and brain to logical conclusion of: Lens is the primary subject.

ohp! don't lose it... nice focus on lens and motion blur on cap, maybe the only thing I would say could help this photo is a little less warm colors and just a little more DOF on background.
