Are you a professional photographer already? You're shots are very impressive.

shooting digital, youre better off capturing in color and swaitching yourself in PS than relying on the on board camera... unless it was shot in film (which i still prefer), then i would use ilford in heartbeat :thumbsup

Great shots! I would love to do a shoot in sexy stockings or high heeled boots there.

what do they mean by professional? professional just means that you do photography for money... do they mean expert?

Photography is such a broad and complex subject, blending aspects of science and art into one. Attaining expertise is possible in small areas, but it is difficult to call any photographer an expert in the entire field.

i'm still learning... and probably will for rest of my life...

there's a point where technical knowledge of lighting and equipment stops and talent comes in, and in my opinion a true 'photographer' has to have the talent or 'the eye' to see what people dont. you can take an amazing photo with the perfect light, but if the overall image 'finished product' is boring and has no feeling, expression, etc then its useless. you can spend all the time you want on photoshop and make is all pretty but its still overall "just another pic"

yeah... some times i forget for a second and i'll bend to grab a shoe or something and that quick movement does much much damage to me that the whole day im in bed... :(

these pics make me wanna duc off my cameras. Excellent work Al.

I meant dust off... Where the fuck duc off came from is beyond me.

awesome stuff as usual :thumbsup

Actually Canon does embed extra proprietary stuff like the model, body serial number and photographer's name into the EXIF data... you may not see it with a generic EXIF viewer but Canon's utils show it. :)

I think you should bring it in for repairs, its not capturing colors anymore

Wow, I remember a movie I saw not too long ago (I'm sure there are SO many using that area), but that second picture I remember being in the movie...I THINK it was that movie where the teacher goes to the ghetto to sub and winds up uncovering some big drug deal where the principle was involved? Anyone know which movie I'm talking about?

Nice shots. Love the black and white.

the substitute?

Al Is the best photographer great job as always bro

awesome pics! using a tripod? what's the exposure on these?

Am I the only one who thinks the first few pics look like they're from the scene from Terminator2 where the T1000 kills the cop in the beginning of the movie?

its not... they shot that scene about 15-20 minutes from that area... the opening scene and the vet scene was shot on foothill in tujunga in southern cali :winkwink:

these are some of my fav pics you took man.
