The first one is the best I think, really great.
You might want to try and sharpen it more (I'm talking on the larger version on Flickr).
Thanks Oren. I will give sharpening a shot.

Keith B,
Love the shot of the lightning. It is particularly interesting with the water in the foreground. Just out of curiosity what is the key to taking shots of lightning? It does not seem like an easy task.
Keep up the great work,
Samuel
Was having issues with my exposure because the deer were moving from shadow to light and varying levels of brightness in the background. Really messed with my metering.

Usually you'd slap the camera on a tripod and do long exposures (20-30 seconds) and hope the lightning goes off during this time. This shot though, I set it for only 3 second (how the lights on the bridge metered). The sky would flash a second or two before the bolts came striking. It did this consistently for about 3-4 minutes so I was able to time it for this shot.
I wasn't sure whether to put this in here or in HDR, because it is both. But it can go here for now.

Bromance!
I want to bring this thread back to life...anyways I went to San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park again last week and spent some time with these lions, I believe they are cousins, hence the BROmance.[:D]
Taken with 40D + 500 f/4L IS, f/4, 1/640, ISO 400, handheld. Because I was very close, this image is fullframe, so you can see the right lion is a little soft due to shallow dof. I didn't want to stop down because I wanted an adequate shutter speed to minimize camera shake.

Just cruising thru all the great pix in this area......somehow I missed the PA elk......Great shot Joel, love the lighting and his captured breath.
Clemmb....love the koala. Is it in a foster home?
Nate....your usual high quality capture....nice.
The photo below was taken in a raptor workshop I attended a few weeks back; Kestrel, 40D, 70-200 IS 2.8 (rented for this shoot), f/3.2, 1/800, ISO 500 at 200mm.

Nearly forgot about this thread. Excellent shot of the lions, Nate.
Bill that's an interesting bird of prey. Where did you attend that workshop?
Here's one I took last week.

Canon 50D + 70-200 f4 @ 200mm f5 1/1000" ISO-100. This was taken in Emerald Isle, NC.
Thanks for looking,
Dave.
Dave, the workshop was in Belchertown, MA, but Ray Barlow (person that put everything together) is from Toronto... RayBarlowPhotography.com
It was an opportunity, not only to receive photographic instruction, but also to see raptors in their (somewhat) natural environment that I probably won't see in the wild. E.G. raptors from Egypt, S. America, Europe.
Regards
Bill

Thanks for the quick reply, Bill. Sounds like it was a fun workshop to attend.

This one was taken at a butterfly exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in NY.

this birdie showed up outside my house and immediately found its lunch. Had this kit lens attached to the cam at the time, so not a really sharp image
Chinese for lunch?

This was taken on Waikiki Beach with my Canon 50D and 50mm f/1.8 (I've upgraded to the 50mm f/1.4 since). The photo was cropped a little and some very subtle color adjustments, but it's 90% right off the camera. You like?

@ 420mm, 1/500, f/8, ISO 400
I was leaving the trail to head to Point Reyes National Seashore from Pinnacles National Monument. Saw this beautiful butterfly fly around me a few times and then land on these flowers. So I just had to get a shot. So hard to take shots at macro focusing distances and 420mm. I put the camera to manual focus and the minimum focus distance, but I kept taking shots with the back wing in focus. Finally I got some good shots with the head/face in focus.
Had to do some burning and dodging because 11am sun is just to harsh! Flowers were overexposed and the butterfly was slightly underexposed. Like how it came out though.
Anybody know the name of the butterfly?
Powers-brent
I like this shot very much, besides the butterfly and the flowers, the background looks very pleasing too.

Wow that's some fantastic scenery Erno, I'd like to see a bit of the skyline in the second shot but they're both great. Where were they taken?
Ben
Hiya Ben, that was Bryce Canyon, Utah. A photo opportunity is literally around every corner. Head to the southwest American Desert if you can. The skyline was left out as it was one of those dull-grey sky mornings. I had some better skies down the road in Northern Arizona.

All pics I have seen and are very very awesome pics, please let me know how to put my best pic here.
Yes, fantastic pics from Erno. Those would be from Bryce Canyon in Utah.
Hilarious! option 2: since you're already that far underground, keep digging until you pop out of the other side...perhaps at Bryce Canyon! Later dude (aka: G'day mate), erno

That fly is very shiny! Nice shot, did you purposely focus on that point? Anyway your shots just made me want to get my camera and try out my macro-flash, thanks! [;)]
