That's great Durka! I like that a lot, but I love low-light photography, so I could be biased.

Here's one of my favorites. Sticking with both themes (Washington, DC and Night-Time) I give you:

Washington Monument #6


I made a larger print of this, I think 16x20 (I really don't remember) and love it. It's great. Can't wait to get it in a frame and in the apartment.

Going through my old DC photos, I realize I've got some great ones I need to touch up and use in a portfolio.

Papa6, have you made a portfolio of your work? Just curious as to what you did to make one, if you have.

Durka,
Thanks! I've never tried it. I always thought I needed a better lens. Never really thought about it to be honest, mainly because finding a place to set up out here that gets a good shot (and isn't trespassing) is hard. Also, because of the mountains, getting a clear view of the lightning without interfering clouds and terrain is tough - I find this to be true of sunsets and sunrises too.

Where in east TN are you? We're probably scary close to each other.

I want a portfolio that is obviously amateur, but still looks pro if that makes sense. I want one that shows off my best pictures in large format and high-quality (that's why I bought this camera - High-Q). I want it to be something that can sit on my coffee table but can also be taken to a potential employer too.

Durka,
So how do you shoot? Open the shutter and hope for the best? I understand the setup and finding a location, etc. - I know how the weather moves near my place. But how do you actually make the shot?

As far as a portfolio. I might make two - one larger one of about 50 pictures, and one smaller one of about 15. We'll see. That'll come later this summer.

One of the Old Post Office in DC - also a digital experimentation with B&W.

Ruin, I made my first photobook and it's on sale at lulu.com

put "christopher jackson" in the search box and the book is titled "2007 cherry blossom festival"

Chris, I saw those pictures when you took them. They were stunning. I'm not quite looking into sales just yet. First trying to find a way just to show off, haha. Large format pictures in the living room are going to be a good way to go also.

Wow, thanks Chris! I assume this is the site?

Some beautiful work on here. Looks great. All for free I assume?

[Papa6]

naw Durka, go ahead and help out. I'm learning something from you.
