Post your best current shots

Thanks Pat!

A few more from the trip. A thunderstorm rolled through just before sunrise on one of the mornings. I rolled out of bed and went out to see what I could get.

Thanks for viewing...Brant

Very nice - morning thunderstorms are unusual where I come from.

Ben, that's a stunning image of the balloons. I hope you found somewhere less bumpy to land!

Stuart, those are great action shots from the barrel racing.

Brant, I also like the layers in your third shot of the first batch.

I spent the day at a bird reserve, but the view of the water from one of the hides was obscured by tall grasses so I just took a picture of that instead.

Wow Brant that's some nice lightning. Well captured too.

Andy - the pilot was a superstar. He landed the balloon on the trailer then the guy in the truck drove away slowly as he deflated the balloon so it would fall in a patch with no prickles. Ridiculously impressive! Here's another one from the same morning. This shot's actually been on 500px's front page and most popular travel photo since its upload which is pretty exciting for me.

You were lucky with the pilot. Last time I had a balloon ride was in the Serengeti in Tanzania. The pilot crashed into a termite mound as we were coming in to land.

I'm glad your latest picture has received such recognition, but I can't say I'm surprised. Like any good travel shot it just makes me want to be there.

Ah thanks mate. I've just been editing another shot from a few weeks ago in Croatia. Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of those places that should be on everybody's to-do list. Really impressive. I've been toying with a new logo to watermark my pics with too (have had a couple of the good old "borrowed" images incidents over the last couple of weeks) - any comments? It's a hard thing to do well, I'm not graphically creative enough to come up with something unique unfortunately.

Great shots here.
@Ben spectacular holiday shots mate.
@Andy liking the serenity of the grass shot
@Dustin great composition from down Mexico way.
@Brant when do you work? You seem to be able to get away and take great shots at will now. Congrats, nice series.

I thought i'd take my camera to work today

As i was invited to work from a race circuit called Croft at Darlington, North East England UK

We have a selection of retro Ford to Maserati, Nissan, Audi Lamborghini and the list goes on so I thought i'd share a few photo's

But what I was unsure about was the Shutter Speed, I had it really high (1600) which on all my photo's it made the cars look like they were standing still when really they were doing 100+ mph, I would of like to get some wheel movement in their but I didn't have time to play around with setting ;-(

















All photo's are unedited

Whoa, this is becoming a tough-act-to-follow thread. Nice landscapes, Brant, Dustin, and Ben.

Not so many wide open spaces for me this week.
