*Critique Club*
Very good idea for this challenge. I had a hard time coming up with something because this is such a tricky one. I especially like the concept because it was your first entry, which means we will probably be seeing some vary creative entries in the future too.
I was really reading your comments and it looks like you figured out how to use the techs a little bit more. But defiantly good work on the first few shots with the new camera. I think your composition is good I like the centering of the mirror. I think if you are able to try again on a bike without flare I am sure we would be able to focus on the mirror a little more.
Overall this is really a great first entry and I am very excited to see the rest of your challenges. |

I agree it would be better without the chunk of plastic on one side. Next time I try that shot, I'll do it on a bike without a fairing. (fortunatly I have access to a number of different Harleys) :-) |

Yes, quite similar. You managed to get your mirror in focus better. :-) |

I was shooting the boring/predictable railroad tracks and roads for this entry...when I was riding my motorcycle the morning before the end of the chalange, and looking in the rear view mirror, saw an interesting perspective on the theme! :-)
Could not get the DOF right. :-( That was my best shot of over 20, the only one where the writing on the mirror was readable and the reflection was in focus (lots of shots with the mirror in focus, or the reflection in focus, but this was the closest to getting both). After playing with an online DOF calculator I realized my mistake, I had the zoom lens at 70mm...there is no way to get the right DOF at that focal length and distance, even at F/22. Had I gone 18mm it probably would have turned out (but I would have had to crop to get the same composition).
I've had my D70s for just a few weeks (first dSLR), it is one of the first shoots that I set everything manualy.
Not bad for my first entry (IMHO), had I got the mirror in focus I think I would have done much better. I think I'll try that shot again some time.
Thanks for the comments.
