Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D Sample Pictures

A row of Bleeding Hearts blooms line the curving stem of this plant. The even lighting is from a cloudy sky.

Sunlight streams through an early morning forest setting. Fog (smoke works too) reflects the sunlight, while shaded portions of the image remain dark.

A girl navigates the soccer ball past her opponent.

This shot was taken with my back against the wall of this 11.5' deep, 16' wide room. Lighting is ambient with some flash fill. A tripod was used for the 1 sec exposure.

A young girl climbs the dock ladder for another jump into the lake. The fast shutter speed was selected for the jumping and would not have been needed for the ladder pose.

Want great action shots of your kids? Set them up with a soccer ball - with a good lens and good lighting of course.

A field of standing wheat awaits harvest.

A young lady moves the soccer ball into position for a shot.

A Golden Retriever sits in the late day sun.

A little girl chases down the soccer ball during her game.

Lines from a German car wind through the frame. A cloudy sky reflects from the dark sheet metal.

A dock in the foreground, the lake mid-frame, the distant shore upper-mid-frame and storm clouds in the sky. A CP filter was used to cut the reflections on the lake - resulting in the deeper colors seen here. While mid-day is not often the best time of the day for landscape photos, a CP filter can make a huge difference in your mid-day-captured images.

Amish wheat shocks stand in a partially harvested grain field. A wide focal length emphasizes the foreground subject (wheat shocks in this case).

An aerial perspective of a young, life-jacket-wearing swimmer.

Sunlight pierces the heavy forest canopy to illuminate the morning fog.

A barn roof is visible above this partially-harvested Amish wheat field.

Clouds shade portions of the sky while rays of light highlight the non-shaded portion of the sky.
