Post Your Best Nature Shots!

[Fast Glass]

Hey Fast Glass, sorry to hear about your camera, what happened? Hope you'll get it fixed or have a new camera soon.

Thanks Nate, there was a loose srew and fryed itself. I never dropped it, got it wet, it looked like new.


I was about to take some pictures of some humming birds in "sweet light" and I had to clear some pictures in my card, after I cleared them I put the camera to my eye and there was no lights. I looked at it and it was off, I later trouble shooted and took it apart and found a loose srew with no aparant place inside. I noticed a slight ticking noise when I shook the camera for the past month or soand I wondered what it was, now I know!


Thanks again Nate for your consideration.


John.

No animals in this one... but i just couldn't stop liking this tree... all by itself on top of a hill.[img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/800x1200/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.28.47/Untitled_5F00_HDR2_2D00_2.jpg[/img]

I've gotta say it's one of these:





1. Green Anole Lizard trying to go to sleep.








2. Green Anole Lizard finally getting some sleep (first time I've ever seen this)








3. Young male Blue Dasher Dragonfly








4. Carpenter Ant

Nate, sweet shot of the vulture.

The greens in that first shot really compliment each other - really nice. And detail in the shot of the dragonfly is great! Well done mate.

I had a visitor today.




















All taken with the Canon S3 IS I keep by my desk just for this purpose. The only "post-processing" was to use unsharp mask in Graphic Converter after scaling to counteract the inherent softness from scaling down. Shutter speed was 1/1600; apertures f/3.5, f/5, & f/5.6; ISO 800 (was set for indoor shots & I didn't take the time to change it); focal lengths 46.3mm (35mm equivalent 278mm for the first two, 72mm (432mm equivalent) for the last. The S3 IS does pretty well for a "point-and-shoot" except in low light. It has a 6-72mm f/2.7-3.5 lens (equivalent to 36-432mm on full frame), ISO 80-800, 6 MP, and about all the "modes" (including full manual) that a Rebel will have. One major failing (fixed in its successors, the S5 IS, SX10 IS, and new SX 20 IS) is the lack of a hot shoe.

MOF_Sydney the tiger picture is especially cool I think. I love siberian tigers so that one really stands out among these pictures to me. Did I mention I love cats?
