    Thanks Roger!


    it was a 1/2 second exposure, f/7.1 ISO 640, 40D 100-400 @400mm, second curtain. It was tough I was focusing in the dark waiting for lightning flashes for focus assist. It was about 100 feet away. I did move slightly closer for the second shot.

    Does this qualify as a "nature shot" ?

    I'm not sure Central Park counts as "nature", but this is one of my favorite shots I've taken...

    Thanks!

    It actually isn't HDR....I shot a five-exposure bracket expecting to do HDR, but there wasn't enough contrast in the scene for the HDR to add anything. This single exposure (which the camera thought was one stop overexposed) ended up looking better than the merged image, so I went with it.

    Not my best and not exactly in nature, but I found this little guy in
    my kitchen 50 minutes ago (it was 1:57AM then). I grabbed my 50D +
    17-85, took a chair (since it was high on the wall) and took a few
    shots. I ended up with 4 shots on my camera, then on my PC narrowed
    down to just 2 and finally took the better one and used DPP to process
    it - including heavy cropping (it was shot horizontally). Finally I
    resized it to feet 800px wide and applied unsharp mask one time. Here
    it is:


    Edit: it is almost 100% crop


    Some Exif: Manual mode, Tv: 1/250, Av: f/8, ISO: 100, Focal length: 85mm, Flash exposure compensation: +1 1/3 (built in flash)
