As promised: Otter-shots!
These were taken with the Sony Alpha 350k
With the Minolta 50mm, f/3.2, 1/250, ISO 100, Auto focus
Minolta 50mm, f/1.7, 1/160, ISO 100, Auto Focus
In retrospect I think I would have done this a bit differently if I had time; it's a bit dark and less sharp than I'd like. I think moving to a smaller aperture but a higher ISO might have helped, but I was wary of noise at the time. There's a bizarre glowing edge on the bottom of our sea otter - not entirely sure what caused that or how to eliminate it in the future.
These were taken with the Canon XTi
Using the 18-55 Canon Kit lens @ 27mm, handheld 1/13, flash on, Manual Focus
Using the 18-55 again this time @ 39mm, ISO 400, 1/400, flash off, manual focus
Finally, back to the 350, with the 50mm lens again:
f/1.7, 1/800, ISO 100, Manual "focus"

For what it's worth, taking pictures of people isn't against the law. You've just got to hope they don't mind too much
Skyhawk - have you seen the picture of the starving boy with the vulture walking around him? It won photo of the year a few years back...very touching photo.
And for what it's worth, laws, customs, and cultures differ when outside Canada. Shooter beware.
But no, I don't think I've seen that picture. Got a link?
Fair enough.
In North America, though, that holds true
Unless you're on private property, everything's fair game.
As for the picture, here ya go.
He had said he had to follow the boy around for a few hours waiting for the perfect composition. Nobody knows what happened to the boy as the photog left promptly, and upon returning home committed suicide not long after.

That's a very emotionally difficult thing to see. I'm not sure I'd be able to take that shot - but given the impact of it not taking the shot might be the wrong thing to do.
I shot what I thought was a rather artful picture of the most opulent hamburger I've ever seen in my life tonight. I'll post it later as posting it right now seems completely insensitive and the thought of the juxtaposition with the picture above makes me incredible uncomfortable.
I spent some time taking these this evening. This is also my first foray into HDR.
Sony A350K, 15 second exposure, f/6.3, 70mm focal length, Shutter Priority, ISO 100
Sony A350K, 2 Second Exposure, f/5, Zoomed through from 18mm to 70mm, Shutter Priority, ISO 100
Sony A350K, 5 exposures from 1 second to 5 seconds, 60mm focal length, ISO100. 5 shots were processed and tonemapped by Photomatix Pro 3. This is the first HDR image I've produced that I've liked. I'm still not great with this process, but I liked the results of this one.
