    So I see here that people like pictures of computers (who woulda thunk). :D

    I decided to take some time and take some nicer pictures of my Vostro. I am a naturally an artistic photographer, so product photography is sorta new to me. Oh well, I tried. :eek:

    That is pretty horrible use of bokeh. Did you just get a DSLR or something?

    No, I've had mine for a while; I was using my 50mm f1.8 lens. The depth of field with the lens is very narrow. I agree, it could be much wider, but eh. That and I was trying to avoid ISO400.

    Very nice work.
    Will take some shots of my 1500 should it ever turn up.

    Yeah man, your DOF was way too narrow, except on the third one, which is neat.

    With a Digital Rebel XT, I'm sure you'll be able to do better in the future

    Hi Ocellaris.

    Do you keep reef coral tanks? Ocellaris is the species of 'nemo' ;)

    I keep several coral/fish tanks myself.
