A few birds.

Heron

A basic Sony Alpha for those wondering.

Volcano National Park a few weeks ago. (moon was a second exposure)

Marc,
It's certainly spectacular, but it doesn't seem to quite gel together as a single composition. The right side 2/3rds might be better by itself.

I agree it is still work in progress. An example of being awesome in person and not quite able to capture the moment with a camera. I thought it was worth sharing just because it is so rare, a moonbow, full moon and lava in one scene. I actually prefer just the right frame with the moon.

One from about a month ago.

One from about a month ago.

As contrapoint to Michael's home page photography, this is 'spring colours in spring' in the Madrid's Sierra. Taken the 3rd of May.

Liked the heron



Here is one I took the other day using a G9:

another vacation snap from Mexico

Hi Tom,

I dig these two images from Mexico Out of the ordinary...

*steve

I think, Tom, I would like to see more detail in that shadowy thing, bottom left hand corner. Not that I'm saying the photo would be more interesting if we did see more detail there. I'd just like to see the detail before a final assessment.

From a recent trip to Portugal. These shots were from Sintra -- where there are a LOT of stairs.

Canon 350D, 17-40L

thanx for the kind words

t

interesting.........

I have processed out a couple of versions - I am going with the "What might be there" thing..... Kinda like a Brett Weston / Andre Kertesz rip off kinda thing - but it is fun.

My grandson was born in April, and my great nephew (a second grandon, really) was born a couple of days ago. Hence...

Mike.

Here is one I took today with my G9, a pair of two bee-colored robber flies mating. I thought it was awfully rude of the female to be killing and eating something at the same time her beau was trying his best to please her

porthole - third one from Mexico trip

slowly working on the pix

Tom

Here is another image from Portugal, just returned from Algarve area a few weeks ago....comments please, it is even a landscape....almost forgot, taken with a 5d and 24-105 IS....fwiw...

I'm not sure of the crop. Still mulling that. I would level the sea, however.

DP - do you think it too tight the crop??? I tried it with a level ocean and didn't really like it, made the rock formations look like they were falling into the water more, but maybe it is just my "slant" on things....

To get the level ocean, try 'free transform/warp', Nice shot, but the deep shadows seem a little too dense.

TWO PHOTOS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

Composition is split in half, but I like it. This is a snapshot of a mule train coming from Kagbeni to Jomsom, about 3000m elevation, somewhere in the middle of Nepal.

[attachmentid=6611]

Good idea Ray, about the transform, do you think you can do that and NOT distort the rainbow??? May have to try that, think I like the shadows as they are, brings a little more drama, I like drama in images....jmho. thanks.....

Try transform on a feathered or gradient selection.
Will preserve part of picture and gradually go into distorted area...

Allan

No problem. The bottom left corner just needs to be pulled down slightly. You lose a bit of sand though.

[attachmentid=6617]

Thanks guys will have to do that, I am all for being on the level.........

I like that better. Crooked water drives me insane. (As evidenced by my screaming "Tsunami!" whenever I see an image with a titled aquatic horizon.)

Power lines that actually add to the composition. Jomsom, Nepal.

[attachmentid=6621]

Just walking along the mountain track.

Nepal 2006 and coincidentally the 9999 shot on my 5D.

[attachmentid=6632]

Number 9999 reverts to 0001 on the next shot. Here's the number 0001 shot, for the curious. I'm just working on the huge backlog .

[attachmentid=6633]

And here's #0028. Sorry for the invasion of privacy. I was just walking by. But I like this shot. There's a nice balance to it.

[attachmentid=6634]

Well, it looks as though my passing by did not go unnoticed. Image #0029.

Canon 1Ds MK3, 70-200 2.8L IS USM

[attachmentid=6693]

[attachmentid=6694]

[attachmentid=6695]

Very nice. I like the first and last the best, which I will not argue. What is teh story behind this shot?

The 70-200 is an almost perfect portrait lens, no? Have you tried it with the 1.4 tele-extender?

On route from Jomsom to Kagbeni in Nepal.

[attachmentid=6730]

A shot of the people. An attractive young lady scooping up Buffalo dung in Kagbeni, Nepal.

[attachmentid=6731]

Heck! How did that happen? Sorry! Waste of bandwidth.

Some landscapes:

The most striking shot is the one of the moon through the branches. The moon is always great, but it presents an enormous dynamic range problem if you want the foreground recognisable as well as the moon features.

Love the first and last.

Niiiiiiice!
