Another shot from the fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This shot came from one of the lookout posts, which had three extremely narrow slits that allowed soldiers to peer out into the ocean. If you look really close, you can see two people kayaking. They were on our cruise ship, and apparently, went out past the barrier. They missed the boarding call and had to fly into the next port of call to meet up with the rest of their family.

I Think We're Being Attacked, Sir.
Light at the End of the Tunnel
This was another shot courtesy of Vacation 2008! This photo is from inside a fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The tunnel was about a half a mile long, so seeing the light at the end of it was a sight for sore legs. Canon Digital Rebel, with the wide angle lens (needed to get a ton of light in for this one, it was dark, as you could imagine).
Who Says Our Government is Looking Bad Right Now?
Here's a shot of a government building in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The inside of the building is made up of marble, but it was the outside that caught my attention. Add to the nice cloud cover a natural lens flare and the Canon Rebel XT takes another great shot! (Telephoto lens)
You Call this Prision?
Another shot from the vacation archives, apparently this building (in Bermuda) was once a prison. The shot is a bit crooked, or tilted, but that's because I'm shooting pictures while trying to ride a Segue at the same time. This is the standard lens that came with the Canon Rebel XT.
"Bombsquad Softball'
Ok, time to confess; "I didn't take this photo". My girlfriend did though! She'll borrow the camera on days I have a softball game, and starts snapping away. She used the new telephoto lens that I bought about a month ago. She loves it, because she can shoot all day long and not worry about getting nailed with a line drive!
"Lady Liberty" in Vegas
This is another shot from my Vegas shoot. I love this photo; its so odd and crowded, but Lady Liberty seems to stand out in all of the commotion. I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT.
"War is Hell" (Part 2)
I loved the first shot that I put up the Fort, so here's another shot, a little farther away though. I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT.
"Open All Night Long"
This is a shot of the famous Vegas Strip. I took it during the wee hours of the morning (3 am) before we left to catch our flight. I had to keep a steady hand, as I used a slooooow shutter speed. I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT. Next time I go back to Vegas, I'm bringing the zoom lens!
"3:20 to Camera Effect #3"
This is another "camera trick shot', the trick being that the area photographed doesn't exactly exist. Its a replica of an area in San Fransisco.
I used the Canon Digital Rebel's generic lens for this photo. It'll eventually need some Photoshop work on it, so I'll re-post the results in the future.
"Camera Tricks #2"
Here's another cool example of a special effects shot. Isn't it pretty odd that an amusement park has a huge rocket ship in the middle of the park? Turns out, that rocket ship is actually no bigger than your arm. Between the sunlight, blue sky, background building, position of the subject and the rocket ship, and depth of field, you get a much larger looking object, ready for takeoff.
I used the generic Rebel XT lens for this shot.
"Camera Tricks #1"
Set up the Rebel on a tripod, used a timer, opened shutter, and went 90 mph. Actually, this is part of our series on special effects photography, courtesy of some folks at Universal Studios. You never know where you'll learn something new about photography, so keep your eyes and ears opened.
I used the generic Rebel XT lens for this shot.
"By Any Other Name"
A nice bunch of roses, this photo was taken before a wedding ceremony (Yes, I do weddings). The generic lens for the Canon Digital Rebel XT was used to shoot this photo, although, looking at it now, part of me wishes I had a nice macro lens.
"Neon Night"
This is a photo I took of an old 1950's car-hop diner, Annie's Snack Shack and Restaurant. The restaurant stood for over fifty years, before it was finally bought out and demolished, making way for a bank, I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT.
"Winter River"
This is the first part of a series of pictures I'll be taking around a small stream in my backyard.
I used a Canon Digital Rebel XT with a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III EF USM Lens.
