  • My name is Carlos Plaza — I am a graphic designer by trade who has had a lifelong interest in photography. I took this photograph from the inside of the Key Biscayne Lighthouse on a very clear and cold Florida day, with my Canon Rebel T2i. I shot several images with different settings, since the low lighting inside and the contrast of the bright light coming in from the outside made it very challenging.

        • My name is Jason Bates. This photo was taken at Lori State Park in Fort Collins Co. Just as the sun was getting ready to set behind the foothills of The Rockies, I got this shot of a rider jumping his bike passing the sun. It took many attempts to get the shot I wanted with a nice silhouette and warm hues from the sun. The camera used was a Canon 60D with a 18 to 135mm EF-S lens the shutter speed was 1/8000 of a sec and the ISO was 320. Thank you very much for the the votes.
