Ben, Beautiful shot---I think the gate adds to the shot as well. It gives the shot that "out on the ranch" feeling. nice job.

Magic shot Steve. Well done Mate.

@Steve, I love the composition of the lilly!
@Ben, Awesome shot and what a great location!

Joel, that's a lovely shot of the red squirrel. We have them round here too, but they are very shy. How far away was it, and did you have to crop the shot?
Ben, that lightning shot is shockingly good (pardon the pun).
Steve, I'm glad there's somebody to post lovely shotsfrom their garden. I'll be lucky to see mine in daylight before next spring.
Went for a ten mile hike in the Cairngorms National Park today. It was either that or finish cutting my conifer hedge. I think I made the right choice.

Some 82mm filters for this lens are on my Christmas list.

Two great shots Andy, like the water flow and the second one is post card material.

Andy, I like the "Punch Bowl" best, but I am a sucker for a water falls.
I have not been very good about getting to my shots in a timely fashion and processing them. Just got to this one from September.

Andy... Another sucker for waterfalls here, nice shot. But I really like #2. Very peaceful. Love it.
Conrupl. If they are that good I am happy to wait. Great capture.
Great shots, Andy and conropl!
Andy, FYI Schneider Optics (parent of B+W) recently came out with an 82mm 10-stop ND. Not widely available, 2filter.com has them (mine came on Friday).

Thanks for the comments everyone.
John: thanks for the info on the filter. I noticed you mention this in another thread recently. I'll have a look for sources in the UK.
Joel:thanks for the reply. It's useful info since I've been considering acquiring a 500mm lens when funds permit.
Pat: I agree with Brant (Kayaker) - no need to apologise for your backlog of processing, there's no time limit in this thread.

These two photos were shot at the Vøringsfossen, a big waterfall in Norway. Well it's actually one very big waterfall which falls so hard that it's pushing another smaller waterfall on the other side back up again, which creates a huge amount of waterdroplets, which in order can create a nice rainbow.
My girlfriend is sitting half a meter off the edge were there's a 180m drop down. I also took a shot holding my camera over the edge and it was sketchy ;) Later that day we hiked down towards the waterfall, which was also great. Perhaps I'll share that later on ;)

I was wondering when we would be treated to some more of your shots from this trip, Jan. I love the composition of #1 with your 'pot of gold' at the end of the rainbow.

Another beauty Pat...nice shot!
Nice color on those trees and in the reflection Pat! But how in the world are there no leaves floating on the water?
It was still early enough in the fall season that the leaves were still staying on the trees. There are no leaves left around here anymore though.Quote:

Conropl, Wow, Just wow--That first one is stunning---Gorgeous colors, great comp and exposure, perfect white balance and timing on the falls----Super job.
Bob
Conropl- my waterfall shots from the smokies brought back memories for you...your photographs of northern Michigan do that for me. I went to college up there. That first waterfall shot is simply amazing.
Thanks for sharing
Nick
I went to college up ther also... I went to Michigan TechQuote:

WOW!! These waterfall shots are amazing! I would love to capture photos as beautiful as these! Very nice job, Pat!
Denise
Great shots Pat! Fall is really showing on them.
Fall wasn't really exciting here and winter is turning in already:

Thanks Andy. Today me and my girlfriend finished our album for the trip and we're done sorting all the photos finally ;) I don't mind adding a few random shots, but I can also make a small travel report. Not sure yet:rolleyes: I'm going to post on Flickr anyways;)Quote:

Sheiky - Love that sky. That is one of those skies that you see and you try to rush somewhere to egt a decent foreground before it disappears. Beautiful shot. Fall has been over around here for some time now... I just still have not gotten to all the pic's I took on my vacation at the end of Sept.
Pat
A few more from September taken at the Pocupine Mountain State Park, Michigan. I hope it is not to many:

Brilliant shots....Keep them coming
Thank you all for the nice comments.
A lot of my waterfall shots are pretty washed out because I did not get to a lot of them unit late morning or mid-day (there were other things I wanted to shot at sunrise and sunset). I only had a few days to get pictures before it started pouring rain out - that kind of ended things early for me this year. I do not mind rain... in fact, I kind of prefer a light rain or heavy overcast for the waterfalls, but this was to much.
Pat
Not the greatest foreground, but kind of a neat rainbow.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6...dd0f20fe_z.jpg
Wow, nice rainbow. It's weird how the colours are different in, out, and between the rainbows (i noticed on a shot I took a while ago, thought my camera was being weird).
Meanwhile, I went for a walk yesterday, and this girl was just behind a tree about 3m from the path (these are uncropped 300mm and 207mm, 7D shots).
I've never seen a wild roo this close up before, normally they just run away (she had a huge joey in her pouch so probably couldn't jump).
(Domesticated roos don't count, that one I rode to school every day wasn't exactly 'wild').

I never noticed that. The color layering on the outer rainbow is inversed of the inner bow.Quote:
