Great shots Jonathan. That is stupidly sharp.
Here's something a little different for me.
We had a part flown in for our sulphuric acid plant over the weekend... a big part that is. This is a massive Russian Ilyushin I1-76 and it was a bit of a struggle landing this bad boy on our little runway in Mount Isa. They actually had to unload the cargo so it could take off again. I was perched right at the end of the runway and I can assure you, it's LOUD. Apparently this is one of the largest transport planes in the world.

Nice work on this page....Jonathan, the combo of the 1Dx, 500 f/4II and you as the photographer continue to yield impressive results.
I spent Thanksgiving holiday in Chicago. I did manage to get out take a few shots:

It's that time of the year when all of my critters are underground (time to switch things up and try my hand at birds again). However, I was driving through Cincinnati and one of my collaborators has always told me about a population of European Wall Lizards that was released in an urban area in downtown Cincinnati approximately 80 years ago. Basically, you just go to the Starbucks on Columbia if anyone is interested. Anyways, these lizards are adapted to cold environments and so they are still out running around.

This Saturday I went for a drive into the woods nearby to get a shot I had in mind for the current assignment. My daughter is also beginning to grow the photography interest and came with me. So far she may not be quite as interested as I - the Teenager Hobby, i.e. staring at the phone, still comes first.

This time of year it gets dark early. At around 3.30 p.m. there wasn't much light left and we did some playing around with long exposures. In this one I started a 15 second exposure, then she walked into the frame and I fired a pilot flash from a handheld 430EX. This one ended up being her favorite shot from that day.

Thanks for viewing!
Have to agree with your daughter, I really like the last one as well.
Great close-ups Dustin and is there a tiny bit of HDR in your shot David?
Nice series Brant, fancy you stumbling upon the 96th floor.....
Thanks very much! I should add that when shooting from the car in the winter, it is actually important to open all the windows and shut off the heater. If you don't, then all the warmth radiating from your window will affect the image sharpness. It is like shooting through the heat refraction from a hot road surface... it muddles the background a lot, and reduces the subject sharpness. I have noticed that problem occur in images where I had 'panic stop' situations for wildlife, and only had time to open my window and fire a quick burst. It took me a while to realize what was happening. So now I make sure to open everything wide and get the inside of the car as cold as I can, as fast as I can, whenever I have the time.Quote:

I'm hungry. That tells you all you need to know.
(It's a great shot though, love the warmth and the dark and light tones)
@TheRoff - The tones and lighting for this shot are perfect. I can practically smell home-baked goodness just by looking at it!! Very nice shot and hope the rotator cuff gets better soon!
I wish mine (pies and pictures of them) turned out so well.
Ouch. I damaged my rotator cuff in a motorcycle accident once. It took weeks to recover. Best of luck with that.
Great pie shot. Looks delicious.

Great shot Joel, I love these little people when they start getting a personality---and this little gal is certainly letting her personality shine. You did a great job capturing it as well.
Wow, just beautiful Joel, what a smile, what a princess.:o Makes me smile that shot.
Nice pie Larry, what was the filling?
Thanks Bob and Steve....I agree.....she's a princess:)
On the grand kid theme. Maddie is just shy of 3 and hasn't got the concept of a pose, but she did sit still last night for 1/125 of a second.

Oh, and the above pies were apple, with no leftovers.

@Joel and @ Larry...thanks, glad you like the photos. Love my nephew. He is so tiny, even at 10 lbs, he felt like nothing while holding him.
BTW, I forgot to mention in my rush this morning, but great shots of your grandchildren.
Adorable photos of the grandkids and nephew! Nice to see TDP family keeps growing and there are going to be more for us to watch grow up in pictures!
Well, I have been trying to give up photography completely and let me tell you ...it is the hardest thing to away from!! I haven't been out shooting in a few months and just editing old photos and putting them on flickr. This weekend I couldn't bear it any longer and actually went out with the camera ...

This isn't the most original subject, but I like the way it come out. First, the original Christmas light display subject then 3 different versions of out of focus highlights. All were taken with 60D & 135L at f/2.

I think I like the smallest the best. but thats just me
From a recent trip to st Augustine. I love all the cool doors there. This was my favorite, although I think I may have gone a little overboard on the saturation now that Im looking at it again.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8339/8...b06eecd6_c.jpg
I like the doors, Nick. Almost feels like two different images combined.
This is a shot from my trip to Bryson City, NC. Was there for a job interview and didn't take a tripod.... grrr. So this was sitting on a rock.

Dave,
I hope the interview went well.
Gorillapod for the next trip? But this shoot looks like you don't need a tripod!

Snow is back par Tounis_9, sur Flickr
Tounis,
that's a nice winter wonderland. Keep them coming
Awesome shot, Tounis! I love looking at photos of beautiful snow but I'm sure glad we don't have any ...yet!
My exact thoughts. Snow is gorgeous to look at in someone else's pics. :cool:Quote:

I like the shot. Snow really makes for a great subject. We do not have much here yet, but I hope we get more (just not all at once).:)

While I agree with you that shoveling snow is not the funniest thing to do, I'm glad the snow came that early in the ski season. Most of the people here are earning their money from tourism (not me though),and having so much snow before Christmas is definitely a blessing. I understand that in many places, snow can be a nuisance, but we really need it here. We even call it "white gold". Not to mention that the first day after the snowfall always has a magical feeling.
