Ha! No, not Earnhardt Jr but one of my friends who went on the backpacking trip with me.

i wouldn't call myself a photographer, that would be an insult to actual photographers

that being said here's my submission

taken in 2011 or 2012 with a crappy cell phone at loring air force base

That'd be an easy one to make better... crop out most of the pavement below the car so that it's filling the bottom third of the image, and level the picture from left to right. Cool shot nonetheless!

Father's Day kayak rental with my daughter. I have a nice Nikon and a waterproof camera and a GoPro...and I end up taking this with the iPhone. The best camera is the one you have on you...

thanks! i dont know how to do any of that! i built the car in the pic though

LOL no worries, easiest way is to just take the picture that way of course. Generally a photo looks a lot better if the subject isn't dead center (rule of thirds). Instead of centering the car in the frame, put it in the bottom third. Then make sure you aren't leaning when you take the pic.

i wasn't leaning, the earth is curved

Polaroid 110a camera, Polaroid 669 film.

It is amazing how simple photography rules like the rule of thirds can make such a huge difference in a photo

This little guy was also shot in the Turks and Caicos Islands with a Nikon P500. This one was shot on automatic.

Nothing special - Fujifilm S5100

From the Gilmore Museum car show at the LA Farmers Market last weekend. I was in town for work and stumbled onto it completely by accident. This shot is untouched out of the camera. I liked the reflection of the palm trees in the chrome. 50mm, 1/4000, f2.8, iso 100.

Worked my butt off this weekend to pay for a refurb telephoto lens and played with it today in Kent Park. Snagged a 70-300 mm VR for $350.

Nikon D3100 with said lens, max zoom, aperture priority set at f/8 to improve sharpness. Focus isn't perfect, but that's what I get taking this from my car!

That is so incredibly badass.

Overlooking Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe; the shirt was unplanned but suitable! Thought about photoshopping "berkeley" in but too much work

Just timed the finish of the truck race just right at the local track this weekend.

New day! My other favorite shot from yesterday's walk around the woods:

Same telephoto, but not strictly needed (I walked up to this one). f/8 manually set with exposure at -0.7, otherwise automagically set by the camera.

This was a new style I was playing with for a while. The room is pitch black and I illuminate what I want exposed with a flashlight. It's like painting with light. Camera NIKON CORPORATION NIKON D1H

Focal Length 17mm (25mm in 35mm)

Aperture f/22

Exposure Time 25s (25/1)

Ciro-flex Model D, Efke 100 developed in Caffenol-C-M (RS) - the most grassroots of film developers (instant coffee, vitamin C, and washing soda).

That turned out rather well
