Post your best current shots

[Kayaker72]

Thanks everyone. Happy you like the shots.

@ James....7-8 months may be pushing it. I've never been there during the Cherry blossom festival, but I hear it is very crowded. The DC mall is great, but there is a ton of walking to see everything. And as for pregnancy, everyone is different. But I can see that being an issue.

@ Denise...love the dogs...that is cracking me up....

@ CLS....very cool shot...well done.

Thanks, Mark! It is three individual shots of the dogs, one background & one frame an action preset to help even out the saturation and exposure.

Jan: Really like the creative portraits here! What lens did you use for this (I'm guessing a fisheye?)

First off, nice photo of the baby! I used the Sigma 15mm fisheye for my shots. Turns out the effect is pretty funny and also quite easily to correct in PP. Much easier than I expected.

Brant your photos are great. I like the tones in the first one, but the second is my favorite.

Denise, that's a real funny edit, both of them

CLS, nice shot of the moon. There's something about the moon that I really like.

Took a few of the sunset over the dunes with frozen Lake in the foreground. All shot with a 7D and 24-105mm f/4 L IS. The first two with 0.9 GND and CPL, and the last with CPL only.

And I seem to remember Steve posted some people kite boarding in the ocean. This is how they kite board on the water around here this time of year.

Really like that pink, or "fire" in the sky Pat.

This is one of the most painful pictures I have ever taken... it was brutally cold out! I like to think of myself as someone who has a bit of tolerance for cold weather, but trying to work the camera at -39 C was a bit of a trick to say the least. We waited for a couple hours before the aurora appeared, and when it did it was fast and furious and then vanished after about 30 minutes.
