Pat....great shots.....I like all three. In the first the reflections in the waves stand out, the second the suburst, and I like the side lighting in the third.

Thank you Arnt and Brant
Put this in the Street Shots thread, but I'll pop it in here too:

Indeed, #1 is brilliant!
One more vote for#1. Great shot, ham. What lens was that? No flare at all. Nice.Quote:

There were a couple of arched blue and purple flare artifacts just above the bottom right hand rule-of-third point if that makes sense, but the B&W conversion has rendered them almost invisible.
Saying that, I think you can see one of them in the spray, but it's not a problem at all.
The lens on the X10 doesn't flare much generally, but you can lose contrast if the sun is outside the frame, so I try to put the sun IN the frame where possible.
Just got back from Vancouver. Didn't get a chance to do as much shooting as I thought I would. I did climb Grouse Mountain, which was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I did not break an hour. Here's a few shots from the trip. I'm still going through a bunch of them.

Here's one from our recent backpacking trip to Glacier National Park. This is an 8 minute exposure. For some reason the mountain was much sharper in this picture than in any of the 30 second exposures I took. I'll post a few more from this trip once I weed through the 800 or so pictures I took.

I spent the morning yesterday at an Old Engine Show (yearly event in Buckley Michigan). Somehing my wife and I like to go to every year (it's a real hick thing). Here are a few shots of a couple old steam tractors.
Steam tractor pulling a 12 bottom plow (difficult to do):

Man,
That steam engine (tractor?) is neat. I've never seen one like that before. I especially like the shot where you can see them feeding the boiler.
Neat stuff. Thanks for showing it!
I've finally decided on printing my first panorama. This was the one from the top of Cadillac Mtn. in Acadia. The final size printed will be 100"x24". It will be made of 5 separate prints of 20x24 that Ill put on the wall.

5D III + 24-70 2.8L@ 24mm f8.0 1/50" ISO-100. I used a manfrotto 055xprob tripod with Vanguard SBH-200 ball head leveled with the head and leg bubbles and this was stitched together from about 8 shots in a pan. Converted to B+W in post.
I'm excited about it, and I'll post a picture of it on the wall once it gets here!
Dave.
Brilliant shots on this page, colours superb.
Nice B&W pano Dave, very impressive.
Agreed...good stuff.
Tracked a big Elk at Lone Elk Sanctuary in St. Louis this weekend.

Ok, I lied...some guy told me he was sitting at the top of a hill in the woods. I got about 80 seed ticks for my effort.
I'll give you another tick for this effort.:cool:
A few more doggie shots from the weekend.

Dsiegel...beautify shot of the elk. Excellent job on the shot and post.
Steve...love pugs....that simple...great shot of bad Leroy Brown.... (who looks good)
Great elk shot.
I just took a few of those over the weekend as well.

I like this shot but I dont feel it does this waterfall justice. This is only the bottom third.
A lot of great elk on this page, but you gotta love the one with the felt hanging all over the antlers. To bad he got all dressed up with ear rings and necklace for the shoot.
my thoughts exactly.Quote:

Need to be legible from a distance so they don't have to catch them once tagged.
Pure speculation of course :D
From a technical standpoint, there's nothing special about this image. But it's not about the form - it's about the content. And the contents of this location are truly amazing...

I flew down this early morning from Boston for a work meeting in New Jersey, and took a short detour up to Penn Station in Manhattan, then a short walk to Wonderland. :D
This elk is part of the reintroduced population in Smoky mountains national park. Its a small herd they introduced and they have a few biologists that are pretty much constantly monitoring the elks activities. 90% of the elk here are tagged like that. Its great for study purposes but not so great for photography.Quote:

Well, at least he got the White Walk Signal on the lamp-sign, as opposed to the stop "Red Hand Signal."Quote:

Oh what I wouldn't give for an empty credit card and an hour at B&H. Maybe two hours.
Hi everyone -
I'm back after a two-week hiatus... I had a chance to join another voyage to the arctic, which was quite fantastic. It was very different from my earlier trip to Spitsbergen, and there were a lot of great opportunities for interesting landscape shots. Here's one of my favourites, an iceberg near Ilulissat Greenland.

I have a few thousand other shots that I need to work my way through, and I'll let you know when I have a full album posted on my site. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to catching up on all the great posts that have been happening on this site in the last couple of weeks. It's good to be home!

Awesome shot Jonathan! What's that spec just right of center on the horizon?
Thanks! You've got a sharp eye --- I didn't notice that myself. I zoomed in for a closer look, and it's another iceberg looming on the horizon.Quote:

Love the tones in this shot Jonathan, but the whoile series is just stunning, beautiful work.
