Mind if I grab the ones of me to use as profile pictures elsewhere? I don't have a lot of pictures of me that I like.

Oh, wait, your copy license info is right there. Silly me.

You're brave to keep posting stuff like this publicly, because if some guild/union of professional photographers ever found out you were making pictures like this without getting paid they'd probably break all your camera equipment.

Lately I've been using the Nikon D700, with the 50mm AF f/1.4 lens… which I use for everything. [BEST LENS EVAR!]

You can do this sort of stuff with almost any camera if you know what you're doing. In these photos here, I am taking advantage of the very wide dynamic range of the D700 (and the D300 has it too). So that when I take a photo of someone back-lit by the sun, they would normally turn out as a silhouette. And they did in all of these photos, but I have 14-bits of dynamic range per color channel on the D700, so I just cranked up the brightness on all the dark areas of the photo. There's enough detail recorded in the shadows, to make a normal looking photo out of just that small part of the brightness range.

I finally made it into your photoblogs.

Yay! I'd been looking forward to seeing this photo. I love how it came out!

Thank you for being you. ;-)

Thanks for the photos! I love how everything looks like a fairy carnival.
