The second one is my fav also! Absolutely stunning!!
The show continued today. This week before the clocks go back is way up there on my list of favorite times of year.
The 70-300L at full zoom with a CPL. Aside from a smidge of clarity slider and a bit of a crop, this is SOOC. Hey Baby, the sky's on fire.

Here's the wider shot at 70mm.

Great shots Mark, I really like that second one up the top as well, that's amazing.
That's very impressive!Quote:

That's a highly impressive sky Mark, well captured.
I ventured back out to Telstra hill yesterday afternoon. I was attempting to capture a storm that was about to roll into town but it petered out just as it got to us. Instead, I got this one. This is just around the corner from where I took the photos of the bushfires a few weeks back. When I took those the fire was at least 5km away and heading away, the wind turned the next day and brought it back to where I took this shot from. It's really interesting out on this hill looking at the scarring across the landscape. Heaps of photo ops. Took this with the 5D2 as I was making a time lapse of the clouds moving across town and I left my camera plate for the 5D3 at home, so this is one of the shots from the time lapse sequence. Was a good opportunity to run around with the 5D3 and 70-200 II and check out the autofocus and new features it has.
Anyway, here it is. Taken with the 5D2 and Samyang 14mm f/2.8. Honestly, this little lens is sensational. At 100%-200% magnification you can see plenty of detail in the mine site in the centre of frame, the detail in the tree in the foreground is spot on too. Very happy with that purchase.

Not one of my "best" shots, but I couldn't resist. The IRS got sandbagged.

One more sunset pic, if I may.

....Beauty of a shot Mark...keep 'em coming....
That last shot is fantastic Mark! Such a peaceful feeling about it!
I'm feeling patriotic with the election coming up soon and thought I'd pass along a line of U.S. flags outside Grant's Home in Galena, IL.

^^^^^^^^^^Love the processing, Joel. Ready for framing.
Thanks folks for the kind words on my sunset pics. It's been a great week for it, but it comes to an end tomorrow when the clocks go back. I may get some shots from the early part of my commute home, but the more scenic areas will be dark by the time I get there.
Wow, Joel! That is absolutely fabulous ...love it!
This photos isn't exactly current but the PS action is of the fan that I came across this morning ...

Sorry I haven't responded lately, but so many great shots and really good PS work, I just had to take the time to catch up on well deserved responses.
Denise, That fan is really cool. I am just now getting interested and learning how to mask in PS. I can't wait to try his kind artistic stuff.Quote:

Thanks, Bob! The fan is an action I installed in photoshop. All I do is click a button and it goes through all the steps for me while I just sit back and watch it take affect. I have a number of them installed so anytime you or anyone else wants me to walk you through installing one, just let me know. Sometimes, some of them may pause just to ask you to choose a color or open a photo but that's about it.Quote:

I've never really been one to do much post processing, but am finally trying to learn how in order to make my photos better. I've always used Photoshop in the past, but recently learned that Lightroom does almost everything I really used Photoshop for, but way faster and easier. Here is one I think turned out pretty good:

+1. Great shot. I love lightroom, it's the greatest invention since the digital camera :P
Here's a couple from the weekend with a bit of lightroom tweaking as well.

Thanks for viewing.
Working on a background for our Christmas card. This is 3 strands of lights which is not enough. We just picked up 4 more strands though so hopefully I'll be able to create the effect that my wife is looking for :-)

Mark, Looks like your well on your way. This is a great shot and a great Idea. "The Night Before Christmas" would also make a great book for the photo. Good luckQuote:

Wonderful idea, Mark! I agree maybe changing the book or even some wintery snowman or santa pj's would perk up the holiday theme!
Here's a new poster of some older photos I put together for another craigslist ad. Wish I had some holiday ones to put in there but most of mine are some not so great candids of the kids. The only portrait stills I have are of my dogs. Hmmm ...a pet photography poster coming soon! :o

Nice one Denise, hopefully you will be beating them off with a stick soon.
And speaking of sticks, I had to wrestle this mighty anaconda away from my dogs this morning. Everyone survived including the anaconda.
I did not take this photo but it is too precious not to share!
These are two of my granddaughters. Aubrey on Santa's right just cut her own bangs the day before and Krista Joy on Santa's left ...well, she's not feeling to joyous at the moment! Poor baby!
Photo taken at JCP, I believe.

Here are a few from a short weekend at Olympic National Park. I will have to return with more time, these do not really do the full diversity of the place justice.

I never fail to get blown away by the performance of the new 500 f/4. Here is a young white-tailed buck, shot from my car window this morning. I set the camera to 1/500 sec @ f/4 in manual, and the Auto-ISO then chose 1250 for the correct exposure.
