All of these were taken with my 100-400mm because I was originally going to walk thru the woods and take shots of birds but the mosquitos were too bad!
Last frog picture ...I promise! [:P]

Nice capture... Well done
Wally
Denise, I really like this shot--evrything about it--the post processing is outstanding---[Y][Y][Y]-nice job
Bob
Can't help myself. When I see a Seagull close by I always have that urge of taking a photo of it. Here's one [:$]

Wally, I know some look at seagulls like I see pigeons---more of a pest than a photographic subject----But that is a gorgeous bird, and....for what its worth, I like seagulls, they are fun birds with loads of personality.
Thanks for the post,
Bob
Thank you very much! I am starting to enjoy doing b&w
Thanks Guys. From now on, my nature shots will be nothing but Sea gulls.... Only kidding
Wally
Great shot of that funny looking long whiskered diminutive bear Denise, never seen one before. Your B&W image is superb.
@Wally, love the gull, did you have any hot chips to lure him in with?
I've been lurking for a while. But, I thought I'd share these pics tonight... Finally, something worthy to show. I discovered her just outside a window last night. I really hate spiders.

Thanks. I've been reading up on it. They're nocturnal and usually stay hidden, which is how I prefer it. But, I was "lucky" enough to have some spin its web just outside the window. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Digging through my old pics now. They're more standard fare though.
Finally took some nicer pictures with the 55-300mm! I have been going out to shoot birds and such, but none of the shots were anything too spectacular. Today though I think I got a keeper... I wasn't sure if i should post it in the birds or nature thread, but I decided here due to the background and lighting on the leaves really making the shot IMO.

OJ, Thanks for posting. I think this has a lot of potential, but I have a couple of suggestions:
1st, it seems pretty dark on my monitor. Perhaps you could bump the exposure and or brightness a little and play with the contrast to see what looks good.
2nd, a little tighter crop with the bird off center would also improve this image IMHO
Nice shot and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tips Bob!
I increased the fill light a bit and tightened the crop all while trying to preserve the color of the sky and lighting on the leaves. Unfortunately It isn't the sharpest shot so more of a crop really starts to display the dull details.

OJ - Nice improvement on the cardinal shot!
Joel - That is one heck of a shot! I must admit I did alittle tilting of the head to the left & then to the right trying to figure out what it was before reading your description!
I thought of submitting this shot for the assignment but I already change my mind once on there so I'll just post it here ...

Morning Dew
I spent Saturday on a waterfall hike in part of the White Mountains that is in Maine. I have only processed about a quarter of the shots, but I liked this waterfall.
Both with the 7D and the 15-85.

Thanks for viewing....Brant
Nice waterfall Brant. You
Pretty green Denise and I'm falling for your waterfalls Brant.
Another shot from Mt Tambourine. That orange blob below the wind sock is a para glider.

Thanks for viewing.

Jan and Steve....I appreciate your comments. Thanks. BTW, Steve, nicelandscape, especially the clouds. Nice effect.
I've finished going through my pictures from the hike and below are a few more. Please feel free to provide C&C, specifically, I am wondering about exposure and if people think these are underexposed.
Thanks,
Brant

Nice work again Brant, I like the second one the best, the light is softer and the composition draws your eye into the image to explore it.
Steve
Really beautiful, Brant!
Here are some pictures I have taken with my new +5 Closeup lenses on my standard Nikon 3000 18-55mm VR.
I am still getting a hand of it, but I enjoy the close up pictures a lot. Though some people mite not enjoy what I took pictures of.

Awesome spider shots Lancer
Denise....wow beautiful landscapes
I shot this yesterday on a hike at Bernheim Forest using the Sigma 8-16mm lens on my 1D3

Joel:
That is a really well thought out difficult shot. Details in the shadows of the woods, detail & color in the leaves, blue sky... all with the sun (and burst to top it off). Not to many people would find a way to pull all that off.
Nice shot.
Pat
Joel - This shot is really cool! Perfect use of the lens and your skills really made this a perfect shot!
This is actually a couple of weeks old.I liked the sunrise colors of this one.
Shot in the Porcupine Mountains in the U.P. of Michigan with a 7D, Sigma 10-20mm at 14Mm, 2 sec, f/11 and ISO of 100, Polarizer, and Grad ND filter.

Pat, if you post anymore I may as well break my camera/lens on my knee. ;-) The first one is one of the best Autum pictures I have ever seen. Simply awesome!
John.
