That. You just made me go look online for local stables. Very well done.Quote:

The rocks behind the first falls is the site of an old mill (~1800s).
Thanks...Brant

Kayaker:
Nice falls. I like waterfalls, and it seems there a lot of them in your area. Thanks for sharing them.
I took my camera to work today, and spent my lunch out at the lake. Nice and windy. So here a couple shots from today.

From this morning. Not as sharp as I would like, but with the long exposure and the heavy wind it was a little tough keeping my cheap tripod from vibrating.

I went for a nice drive today from Canmore to Lake Louise, Alberta. It was only -16 C but it felt a lot worse... maybe I'm just not used to it yet!
This Clark's Nutcracker landed on my mirror in the parking lot at Lake Louise. It even stayed put as I rolled down the window and leaned out. Normally I don't get to use a wide angle lens for birding...

@Brant, great shots from the waterfall man.
@Pat, really like the first one, but beautiful autumn tones in the second.
@Wally, I scream for icecreams, nice portrait Wally.
Bindi my loveable whippet started barking the other night and this is what I found in the tree just near the back door, a possum.
Attachment 112
Andthis is Bindi that night, she is so sweet and doesn't want to catch the possum, but doesn't like them running around in the trees at night.
Attachment 113
Both shots with on camera 580 EX2 flash.
Thanks for viewing.
Steve
Nice shots... what you call a possum down there sure looks a lot less creepy than what we call a possum here. Ours look like giant rats with a bare tail.Quote:

Ha...I was thinking the same thing. Nice shots Steve. My pug barks at horses...on tv....she hates them.
Jonathan... great shots. The nutcracker on the mirror, unique photo....and seems very seasonably appropriate. :)
Wally...very nice portrait......
@ Jonathan - Perfect timing on two fantastic shots!
@ Wally - Wonderful portrait! Perfect composition, I love the framing!
@ Steve - Nice photos! I am always telling my dogs "QUIET" and never looking to see what they are barking at ...I figure it is just the wind or something! My neighbor saw a possum running up my driveway the other night. Maybe I should go investigate once in awhile! NAH ...I think I'd scream if I saw one of these! Funny thing is, most people would go investigate with a club or something ...we go with our cameras in hand ...LOL!
I met with Don Burkett from TDP & his dog, Brody yesterday so Don could buy my 135L. Now my Sammy can have his heart ultrasound and hopefully his surgery!!!!! Thank you so, so much Don!!
Here are a few shots of Brody (Brody is the pup in our latest assignment) ...

Pat, I think you and others are referring to the opossum. The term 'possum' is commonly but incorrectly used when referring to the opossum. Both are marsupials, but possums are only found in the eastern hemisphere. I do agree that possums are the more photogenic of the two - nice shot Steve.Quote:

Really chuffed with this shot from a walk in Trosley Country park.
Everyone around here just refers to them as possums, and usually even spell it wrong too, but you are correct of coarse - my bad.Quote:

Took a trip to Smoky mountains national park a few days ago and had some excellent luck with wildlife. The best of which being the elk, its mating season so it made for some great photos. Here's a few of my favorites.
all with 50d and 100-400mm

Wow, Nick they are great shots, I really like 1 and 3 the eye contact is superb.:o
+1....Nick...great shots. I had no idea that they had elk in the smokey mountains. I agree with Steve, the eye contact in #3 is excellent. Nice capture.
Denise...great shots of Brodie.....
Oh wow! Nice elk photos! I love #3.
Nick, nice elk shots, Im Jealous. I went to the Valle Caldera yesterday for the same thing---supposed to be thousands of elk out there---and I didn't see a single one. The rut is over here, so not much chance of seeing the big bulls. Anyway, congrats and nice capture
Well, No elk or other wildlife this weekend, but I did find this nice little water fall fed by sulfer springs and a nice old ranch house:

Wow, when uploading from my computer, the shots are very soft. Think I'll stick to uploading from zenfolio.
Well, Lets try an upload from my Zenfolio acct. Same pictures as before. Let me know if you can see a difference---Thanks

Thanks for all the positive feedback. yeah they introduced about 50 Elk in early 2000s and the herds have been growing quickly. They are very photogenic which made it feel a little like cheating.
I also had some waterfalls but I think Bob captured his better.
Attachment 128Attachment 129
Bob - Great shots. I think the pic's downloaded from Zenfolio are much better. Sharper, better detail, and better color.
Nick - My wife and I were in the Smoky's earlier this spring. It is where I broke my 100-400 mm lens just before we came up on some elk. So unlike your nice elk shots, I got nothing. But I did get a lot of waterfall pictures... there are so many great waterfalls there, and we enjoyed it a lot. Your nice waterfall pic's brought back some nice memories.
Thank you both for sharing.
Pat
Bob - Great shots, and yes I agree, they look better when posted direct instead of as thumbnails. I've been trying to do that myself, to no success. I'm no Internet wizard, but I thought I would have come across the solution by now. Please let me know how you do that. I've tried the basic copy-and-paste but that isn't working.
Thanks!
Jon, I use my Zenfolio account, select a picture, right click on that picture and select "share" . It will give me size options and I highlight and copy the size I want. Then I go to the TDP string and select "image" . That will give you two choices, upload from computer or select URL, I choose the latter and paste in the link I copied. (don't forget to uncheck the "retrieve from remote file" button) thats it.Quote:

Hope that helps,

For flickr, you just click on the "share" down arrow button, highlight & right-click to copy the BBCode and select the size (I use medium 640 x 427) and then post the code directly in the quick reply box.

I do wish there was a preview button though before hitting the "Post Quick Reply".

If you hit the "Go Advanced" to reply, then you can preview before you post if you want to.Quote:

I am sure either way will work, but I was have troubles importing the bbcode though, so I started copying and pasting the picture directly from Flickr.
Pat
I use the same method. That way, I can link to the Lightbox version on Flickr (manually, by selecting the image on TDP and adding the link), instead of the default which is to the basic photo page on Flickr).Quote:

Those tall falls look like they would be worth working the whole day if you had the chance.
Nice Job,
Bob
I agree about the second one. It was a 1 second exposure, but apparently I have to go much longer to get it to look right. I was at that one at the end of the day and I was losing light fast so I didn't spend all that much time at it. It has to be one of my favorite waterfalls I've ever seen, but I didn't think the pictures I got of it were that spectacular. I will definitely make a stop by there next time I'm in the area, but that may be a while.
Nick and Bob...I know I am a little late to the party, but I really like the waterfall shots. Nice work.
Denise...another great picture....I am going to have to start taking more photos of our pets...
