Very nice shot.

I am ignoring you.
Here are a couple of shots that I took at Legoland last weekend. Tried playing around with the DOF to make them look a little more "lifelike."
I really need to get some lenses. I could have done more if I wasn't saddled with the 18-55mm that I got with the XTi when I bought it.
38mm f5 @1/250th ISO 100
50mm f5.6 @1/400th ISO 100

That one is currently the 11th most popular image in the last 24 hours on airliners.net. It's the first of my images to be accepted by them. Their panel of photographers that review images for addition to their database are discerning to say the least. They've rejected probably two dozen other pics of mine, and they say they only approve 1 in ever 200 that are submitted. To get accepted (finally) as a contributing photographer there is a pretty big deal for me since I've been trying so long. To have that image be so popular there is un-freaking real.

Congrats! I didn't comment on that shot when you posted it earlier, but it's an amazing photo.
Speaking of this, have you guys seen any of the focus stacking that people are doing? Very interesting results, it is sort of like HDR, but instead of taking multiple frames with different exposures, you are taking multiple frames with different focus, then combining them to get greater (or different) depth of field.
Examples (all not mine):

That's awesome! Congratulations, Glenn.
Pretty cool online framing store with great prices for all your goofy sized prints:
American Frame
Just placed an order with them, I'll let you know how it goes.
$110 for a nice, clean wood frame with double matte (!) for a 16" x 24" with shipping. Last time I had something like this framed, it was $300 for a single matte, if the quality is good, I'm sold on this place.

There's a site that I looked into that was linked through Flickr.

You post your photos similarly to Flickr, (you can import them directly from flickr if you want) and then people have the option to purchase your photos and you get a percentage of the sale. You can set your own markup and they'll cut you a check when you've accrued enough. I think you get a percentage of any framing, matting, or anything like that as well.
I haven't ordered anything from them but I did have them send me a paper sample kit. They've got quite a few options and custom frame size doesn't seem to be an issue.

50D ISO samples. It looks pretty clean, the 12800 is certainly cleaner than anything Canon has currently, and it retains the detail pretty well.
Carl Zeiss to offer ZE mount lenses for use with the Canon EF mount. As we all know, Canon is a bit weak on the wide end, the Zeiss wide angles could really be a nice fit. Currently they are offering a 50 and an 85.

5D mkII is here. Same sensor as the 1Ds mkIII, some weather sealing, live view, 1080i movie, but its biggest strike (in my opinion) is it has the same AF system as the original 5D, so only one cross type sensor right in the middle.

Kick ass!
Don't know how long it'll be up for. My guess is it'll fall off after a day or so. But still.
This was a photo opportunity I almost passed up, too!
