    The show makes you think they are out deep in the Superstition Mountains looking for Gold. Look where my car was. A two minute walk!

    If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.

    Thanks @Flash800 :) and I recently learned about a photoshop script (called statistics) that helps remove people from images. It did a pretty good job with most of it and I just cleaned up the rest. There were probably 30 or more people scattered throughout the scene.

    My nephew taking a cool beating in Argyle Falls on the island of Tobago, West Indies. I purposefully shot this at 1/25 of a second to achieve a little motion blur in the falling water.

    Here is an image which may have varied opinions....the subject is as I remember about 8 or 9 years old. This image may do something to the idea of a young girl which is not desirable. Any opinions?

    No direction was given, she did the posing on her own.

    Hi @Msmoto! Firstly, I'm a huge fan of getting away from kids saying "CHEESE" (or parents telling to do so) in every friggin' photo they take. Sure, there's a place for it depending on the look desired. I like the photo although the pose does have a bit of a formal look to it. It might actually look better in B&W with a soft hint of desaturation or pulling up the low end of the blacks in curves. I totally appreciate the fact that she can pose w/o being told what to do. So many kids & people can't do that at will. She might be a natural.
    That said, this forum is a little weird with regard to people portraits so opinions may vary.
    The edit ... just wanted to say that the photo is by no means suggestive or anything close to it so there should not be any comments of that nature.

    @Msmoto, I'm not sure what your issue is with this pose. When I first saw it, I smirked. Here's an 8 year trying to be an 18 year old. I have two kids ( 24 yr. old twins ) that at any moment, as they were growing up, could scare you with a look or gesture that was quite a bit more mature than their years. Imagine two fists on the hips with a scowl on the face. "Okay, that's their mother."

    Got to make it easy for the film crews I guess. Same with Breaking Bad. Some scenes were supposed to be very remove but were filmed close to town.

    I took this shot from the Palatine. I had to be creative and patient to avoid taking a "tourist shot".
