This is the time of year when the larches turn gold and begin to lose their needles. Larch trees are generally found at high elevations (over 2000 metres). Today we hiked 22 km through scenery like this, near Lake Louise Alberta.

Kind of biffed this one. But it's the best from that night. Shutter speed was way too long.. too much movement in the stars.

Rocco this is a super shot IMHO
Denise....I'm taking an ornithology class with Mass Audubon and just learned yesterday that your male Cardinal pic isn't molting. The real cause is feather lice.
Cardinals and Blue Jays are the most susceptible to these parasites in my area.
The good news; the lice really do no harm to the host and the feathers grow back.

I love scrolling through this thread.....
Jon--keep them coming. Great fall scenes and they also remind me of where I grew up......
Jim---I saw pictures of the memorial for the first time during the 9/11 anniversery....well done on capturing peaceful feeling the park was meant to inspire.
Chris---yet another good one.....
Rocco---I am with Gian...I like the silhouette of the pines against the night sky...
Gian....amazing photo. I absolutely love the concept, and the execution is perfect. Very well done...

All you guys. Congrats. Your shots are amazing. Keep them coming.

Gian, great composition and contrast.
Came across an old, but interesting part of a market (Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne) and took this pix with 7D 18-55mm f2.8.

First off, fantastic photos from everyone. Every time I check back here it seems that the photos keep getting better and better.
Here are a few of the senior photos I have got this year so far:

Just curious: what all did you do for post-processing? I'd love to see the original too!
Cheers,

Thank you Damian.
I shoot in raw, the light was very nice at the sunset. After opening the file in PS I worked on levels and curves to find the right contrast. Then I worked on the color increasing it selectively, I liked to have more saturation on the boat and on the sky, but not on the sea. At the end I added some vignetting in order to focus the attention on the boat.
Thanks for the reply Gian. I really like your website as well.

I really like the last photo calulot. It has something special about it. Was it intentionally shot like this?
The annual salmon run on the Milwaukee River. Really tough shots to get, as the salmon are in the air for about a second. Exposure is challenging with a bright whitewater background and a dark fish. I used center zone AF, spot meter and tried to be patient! Forgot my circular polarizer, although there wasn't much light anyway....This is one of those times that shooting in RAW is absolutely necessary.
Pics with 7D and EF 70-300L.

Good shots Brian . It seems like very hard work catching a Salmon in flight.
Wally
Those look delicious! And the photos are great too.
woops double post
A wind generator at Sunrise. It was a beautifull sky, and this was the best subject I could find that morning to put in the picture with it.

Last week when I stopped there, it was super cloudy and about to rain so the sunset wasn't to be seen but I ran into this man and his dog. Both were very on in their years and by the time we were done talking, I knew pretty much all there was to know about this man & his dog. It was obvious both adored and lived for each other and each other is all they had. As I walked away, I couldn't help but turn around and try to capture a picture of them as they did what they do every day together ...wait for the sun to set. I walked back to my car with alittle bit more about life put back into perspective.
This is most definitely not one of my best photos but it will go down as one of my best memories ....

Not the best shot in the world. But, the story of me screaming when the spider jumped on me was quite amusing, at least to my girlfriend. But then when I told her that I didn't know where the spider went and that it could now be in the house, it wasn't as funny to her anymore. 40D, EF-s 60mm, f6.3, 1/125s, iso 100.

Rented the 24-70mm f/2.8 for the weekend with the intention of swapping it between my 50mm and 85mm. The 24-70 never left my camera! Love it! It's a little more weight than a prime but I could live with it :P
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6169/...6a99042f9f.jpg
Baker, Glad to see that the 24-70 is living up to its Rep----I too have that lens on the "gotta-have" list ---Very nice shot and beautiful model.
Went out and shot another kids foofball game this morning; and wow did I learn some things today.
1. 8am game is better than a 10am game---The midday bright sunlight was a killer
2. Give me clouds any day for shooting sports.
3. Auto ISO----never again---My exposures were all over the place---even in the same series.
4. The 400d/100f2.8 was my close end rig-----it was dissapointing at best, compared to the same lens on the 7D, if this business keeps up, there may be another 7d on the horizon. Maybe even a good excuse to go with the 1dIV
5. The 500 is great past the 50 yard line, any closer then it's faces only.
6. I am 51 years old---and shooting sports is hard reminder of that fact.
7. Kneepads are a must.
8. When it comes to kid sports---ignore the pros when it comes to selecting backgrounds. They usually suggest you avoid cars, fences and sideline people-------when shooting kids, it just doesn't matter because those are the only backgrounds you have. Stay focused on the game and the kids.
9. The pros are correct, blurry car backgrounds are ugly and they produce some very difficult lens flares and hot spots---clone it out if you can, but don't sacrifice the shot to avoid the cars.
10. Take lots of business cards
Here are acouple of my favorites of the day:
