As many of you know, I am the proud owner of a Nikon D80, and thusly, (haha, I love that word) I could not resist showing it off. I think this picture applies to my life very well right now, as I spend a lot of time behind that viewfinder. It was taken with an exposure of 21.9 seconds, hence my blurriness and transparency, both of which were purposeful to direct focus to the camera. I switched the light sources a couple of times to get the lighting just right. I really like the way the lighting finally turned out. In fact, my favorite part is probably the orangish tint of the photo and the complete lack of harsh shadows on my beloved camera. I know this is kind of a break from my usual pattern of nature pictures, but I hope you like it anyway!

The idea and execution of the picture are really great. However, I personally am having problems with the compositon. My eye seems torn between looking at the colorful, textured background with your head and eye in in, and looking at the black camera which i think you are really trying to showcase. Just making the camera in focus and the background fuzzy and tranlucent, doesn't seem to fully define your D80 as the real focus of the picture. The human eye is naturally drawn to color and texture. Also, the heavy black object on bottom, drives my eye off the page, and your eyeball being way off to the right doesn't help either. The goal is to keep your eye circling and flowing around the whole picture. :) But overall, It's really good. I especially love the soft lighting and the warm hues. It also really does represent the life of a photographer. Great job steve. :)
hmmm, cool. :)
