How many shots do you usually take until you get a good one? Or do you get it right the first time?

I like how the graff breaks up the shot! I hear the 30d is fanastic for night and low light shots, I've been thinking of making the switch.

Hullu: It depends. I'd say on average I probably take about a dozen or so shots an hour. Less if shooting film. Out of those, usually only a third are worth keeping.
Air33: Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. Now I just need to come up with an affordable/easy way to do bulb mode shots. Sometimes 30 seconds has its limits..

Nice, very nice. I think this spot looks much better at night than it would during the day. An affordable way for bulb shots would be a thick elastic band and some silly putty. Trust me, it works.

all the x's and y's of shadows and light can really take some time to see all the combinations of them. Nice spot & shot.
and the grafitti is really well done too.

Andrew, try getting a non-branded remote. I got an IR one, and remote cable release for my camera for $19 on ebay. The canon ones are a rip off, and I'm not having problems with them. Ones for the 20/30d are bit more but only like $30. I use alot of 3rd party stuff (including batteries - with the rebelXT you need them....and contrary to what people say, they are the same).

Wow, this is outstanding Andrew. The colours and composition, all those lines and forms, just wonderful.

Dr. Harold Scott Coxeter would have loved your photo, Andrew, if he were still alive. Here is a bit of trivia for everyone. He was a professor of geometry at University of Toronto and is known as "the greatest classical geometer of the 20th century". He died in 2003 at the age of 96 and at the time of his death was still going to work daily at the university. He was a lover of H.G Wells ( The Time Machine) and Escher.

Awesome show, almost surreal. And, I could have sworn I saw a highway-interchange almost like it in SF, from the BART on the way to Berkeley. Different graffiti, tho :)
