There was a nice looking moon tonight so I snapped a few photos when I was out walking my dog. I really would like to get a 2x extender this summer!

It's been several months since I posted anything on TDP, but I've kept an eye on the forum and been inspired by the pictures and discussions. Until last week, I had only taken about a dozen pictures so far this year. I finally had some time to get out with the camera last week. These two shots are from Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve.

I like the background on the first one. For an impressionistic feeling, I wonder what it would look like with a zoom, and zooming in or out within the exposure. Athough, that may end up to obscure for your tastes.Quote:

It is fast becoming something that can only be produced in print.
Taken in the Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland
Cloudly day, and during the shoot my feet were under 20 cm of mud and dirty water, while the highland midges were killing my face, but... 10/10 worth.

Beautiful place. That would be a great place to spend some time to dissect all the possibilities of the potental landscapes.Quote:

I am processing photos from my family get together in the San Juan Islands this past July. One of the days, we went on a whale watch. We caught up with a pod of Orcas and the guides thought they had a kill as several were almost frolicking near the surface.
Not that I think this is a good picture, but the first shot has 5 orcas in it and something else that caught my eye:
Attachment 2275
Just to the right of center, that is not an orca.
Attachment 2276
Another shot:
Attachment 2277
I am thinking it is a Chinook salmon, but, it almost seems too big when you compare it to the orcas. It didn't jump, rather it in 5 frames and it rose and then flopped to the side. It is reminding me a little of the smaller fish that jump out of the water as stripper bass are chasing them. My guess is that it is a huge Chinook trying to avoid the orcas but it can not fully elevate itself out of the water.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting....If you have a better idea as to what is occurring, let me know.
sea monster lol
I am going to guess harbor porpoise based on color, shape, and texture. Looks like a flipper in the first picture. I love catching something odd in a shot. Adds a bit of mystery :D
I think you are right.

I got this shot last week on the way to work. Got it with a 70-200 mm. It turned out better than I expected because I was all twisted and contorted trying to get an unobstructed shot at the right orientation.
Today is opening day of Deer Hunting Gun Season in Michigan... it's a bit like a State holiday around here. It got me wondering how this guy is fairing today.

Going with the recent posting of deer pictures I dug this up. This is not a recent image but recently re-processed. This is a buck in captivity at the Kentucky Dept of Fish & Wildlife refuge.
I processed it with a trial version of the new Topaz Glow plugin.

Similar scene at our house. We threw peanuts out for the squirrels during the snow on Thursday. Later that night fox was finding them under 6" of snow.Quote:

Brant,
More great loon photos. Seems you were certainly at the right place at the right time.
I love the low angle shots you can get from a Kayak (or at least I assume that is how you got these). Especially this one.Quote:

Pat
Thanks Pat and Scott....glad you like the shots.
These were taken from my kayak. I was a bit worried about hand holding the 150-600S from the kayak, but it turned out to not be an issue. But, I'd recommend kayaking and photography from a kayak to just about anyone. A different perspective of things from the water and, often it seems, animals are just not as threatened by someone in a kayak vs from the land.
Here's a few nature shots:

Great series Eric! Especially like "Enjoying the view". Did someone else take that one or was it done with a tripod and timer?
Stephen
Thanks! I took some test shots to get the framing and exposure right, then I handed the camera to my sister who was on the trip with me and told her to stand on the spot I was standing, and then I got in position :)
Agreed..great series Eric...
