Thanks regulator. Means a lot coming from the master of building photos himself.

Christmas at Oakland's Mormon Temple

I think you must ask the lens flare question from my equipment and in terms of exposure, I overexposed the crescent a bit and this was the result. The stars in the shot have been a bit "emphasised".

A wintery shot

Looks good Gentoo and Monty.

Here's an other panorama. Titled: I'd Rather Look This Way

9 images at 18mm and f/8

Gentoo, you had me completely fooled! Regulator, now where are the bird pics? While we're waiting, that's a great panorama. What do you use to stitch them?

Nice, Monty. I've wondered about shots like that. Do you expose for the unlit part of the moon or somewhere between lit and unlit? And then how do you avoid the lens flare from the bright crescent in the rest of your frame?

A moon back at you Johnny

I tried to be like regulator here lol. Ah well.

San Francisco, Ca.

Taken from Nexen.

Cool picture Regulator, where was it taken from, I mean which building

Pete

great capture jonny

Great processing jonny!

@ Pacific Eagle, as I stated on flickr I really enjoyed your foggy series.

Here's a 12 image pano at 28mm and f/4.2 taken on Dec 19th.

I couldn't decide if the moon is a thing or a place. I went with place based on the foreground mountains. This is actually from two exposures of the same scene, combined in photoshop.

Here is Vancouver Christmas Morning, Lost Lagoon Beside our house. It was a beautiful Sunny Day here.

Here is a picture of what I woke up to:

Another winter scenery ...

So your are a REAL Senior Member of NR, but I know what you mean, I have all these photographic ideas, but after a days work and trying deal with my 9 yr old son there is just mo more energy left. What I need is a photographic holiday, I could see myself driving down to Lower Nevada(my parents live in Mesa) and back up through Utah, maybe I should do it this Spring, I think spring pictures of the desert area could be very neat

UTAH? I have always dreamed about the lower part of Utah...Canyonland and such. Some day I'll make it. I want to visit the slot canyons. I can't imagine a more beautiful location than that.

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I had more time to spend on photography. It seems like when I get home at night all I want to do is rest. I turned 70 this year and driving a school bus full of "little darlings" takes it out of you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all here.

It looks like the PAD is jammed again.

EDIT: There we go, that got it working.

Hey Robert!

Love the lines in your photos.

Kansas being the "Wheat State", evokes different types of sculpture from time to time. The bridge shot shows a stalk of wheat sculpture, the next shot was taken from inside the stock looking up.
