What did you shoot? Dec 6- Dec 12th.

I'm still shooting birds here at the moment, it has been hot and wet. Lorikeets are feeding on the flowers, they get rowdy from all the nectar by the afternoon.

I call this one splendor in the grass. We have a whippet and three Italian greyhounds, all short coats and they love the summer sun. They go out there and lie like lizards.

You can see by this I should be mowing not taking pictures. Thanks for viewing.


Steve

Went for a photo walk one evening last week. Temperature with wind chill was around 10 °F (-12 °C). No rowdy lorikeets or growing grass here, but some chilly fingertips!!


This is a shot of Antonio López García's massive sculpture, "Night," seen at the entrance to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Nice perspective John, the 5D handles the high ISO like a breeze.

@Neuro: Great exposure!

I love the photo of your whippet on the grass. Great perspective of the shot of the Bostom Museum.


I took this Saturday in the California foothills in Auburn (located between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe):

Some very arty posts happening here.


@JJ, a lot of detail in something that has low contrast, you could do a series.


@ Erno, or should we call you Monet, I bet you wear a beret and and carry an easel.


Until now I thought high art was that one of the dogs playing pool.

SteveU, actually fine art is the one of the dogs playing poker, instead of pool. As for me being an artist with beret and easel, guily as charged. Actually, I was eating some fried chicken when I took the forest photo. I had just cleaned my lens with my t-shirt during set up and I apparantly smeared some of the grease onto the lens. Maybe I can fix it in post. Know of any good degreasing actions/software?

I've got so much to learn Erno, I don't know much about software and PP is one of the first things I do in the morning.


But most dishwashers have a glass cycle, that should fix your greasy lens.


I took this shot of a wallaby across the road from my place late Sunday afternoon. There is a new housing development and they made a big hole in the bush and cleared out enough space for about 80 house lots. It is supposed to be a "green" site so they left holes in the fence and these critters can come and go as they please. This little one was using its ears like radar and it was too dark to stop it properly. I pulled up in the car and rested the lens on the window. All the other one bolted and this little one stayed put. probably about 3 feet high.

Cheers,

I had to go with f/1.4, ISO 640 w/ this since the only light in the room was from the Christmas tree. I would have moved to turn on some lights but "my shadow" a.k.a Lucky would have moved with me and the moment would have been lost! F/4 and lower ISO would have been preferable ...

7D, Sigma 85mm f/1.4

Great shot Denise. Cute subject...You nailed the near-eye as you should

Thank you! I had to change it to B&amp;W in post because all could see was the reflection of the colors from the Christmas tree lights before! Also, with my lack of editing skills, I think I introduced more noise than was there to begin with but thanks for saying it

I think there must be treats under that tree and Lucky knows it.


Nice shot.

I felt juicy that day.

Hey Steven 23, i just gotta take a guess at this one. Spinning in a hammock looking up at a tree with a long shutter or the elusive "this is what it looks like inside a tornado" image. Great image!

lol your close erno, i was at a conservortory, and i came across an orange tree, looked up, long shutter and i just spun around

Spent the weekend in the great Northwest visiting friends and family. Some of these I intentionally tried to blur for the assignment, others...well, I picked up the camera and that is what I got....ok, who's kidding who....I picked up the camera and this is what I got [:P]

I actually shot this on Nov 27th but can't be bothered finding that thread - so I'm just going to post it here. I had the privelege of shooting our good friends' wedding down in Port MacQuarie. Beautiful wedding, beautiful location, beautiful friends. I've only just into processing them - there's a few thousand so it's going to take some time.


Here's a teaser anyway.


Canon 5D Mk II, 24- 70mm f/2,8L @ 27mm, f/11. ISO 125, 1/160 sec. Lighting from a 580 exII through 60 x 90 softbox camera right triggered via RF-602's.


Hope you enjoy, Ben.

Well composed Ben, flare is your friend in this shot.


Steve

I was co-shooting a wedding and this particular girl would not stop asking me to take her photo! haha...


I was setting up my gear and she says "Are you going to take my picture now?" How could I not?!


I realize the background is a little distracting, but in that particular room, it was the least distracting background I could get.

Thanks Steve. I love a bit of flare. I guess everyone has a bit of a style to their photography and I

Hiya 'TheRoth," I love your photo of the Christmas trees. It looks like a bunch of light sabres reaching out. Here's mine shot at f/22.
