The month has ended ... lets send this thread on its peaceful trip to the archives :)

Pierre, I think that last focus stack of yours would make a fun jigsaw puzzle.

By the way, I did nothing to her eyes—they are just beautiful.

Finally nabbed my dads Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm, 80mm, and 150mm. Went out and blew through a few rolls out at the estuary this afternoon.

The trick now is finding a way to never give it back. :]

Very nice bird Abhinav.

I am liking more and more night shots. This is first snow on this halloween night, no post processing beside jpeging.

Wow, that's tricky, to be honest I'll be too afraid to get dust in my camera to try this. But the result of this freelensing and the adapter you made is stunning!
Thanks for both your explanation and your comment on my picture.

jonnyapple - very nicely done, and you've chosen a great subject for this effect too! But how on earth do you make a homemade tiltshift?

Thanks, Arthur. I was inspired to do it by a thread on the forum:

Nice HDR treatment. I like HDR better when it's subtle like this.

Abhinav - gorgeous! Great colors.

Bland - great shot!

HDR-shot in an old factory in Amsterdam, now the working location for some artists.

you guys rock :D awesome awesome pictures

squamish - another nice one
JA - great temple
reg - square cropping will work better IMHO, the flowers in background are a little bit distracting

D3s+N70-200vr

Reminds me of...

One more of my focus-stack experiments, the bottom brown bushes are very near, the pine tree somewhere in the middle and the orange tree is far in the background. It took 4 pictures. Without any bokey there is no more perspective and the near and far just blend.

Playing around with a homemade tilt/swing adapter and my 50 1.8 on my sony.

Nice bokeh Elvis and Ron.

Regulator. Something tells me there will be more than a few shots of Morley taken with this lens.

You bet, stay tuned. :)

@everyone - had a very enjoyable time looking back over the month's photos... thank you very much for sharing your work and for appreciating some of mine.

I look forward to November!

Snow's on the radar for next week, and I think this is the last of my 'Fall' shots.

Snow.

Ewww...

I like your animal shutterdancer.

I tried to do a focus-stack but on big things, the near tree to the left is in focus as well as the far background. I also had to HDR to bring the big tree into view.

Funny enough, when I look at the near tree for a while, the background seems to become out of focus and when I look at the background, I find the near tree to become out of focus. Perhaps the brain refuses the out-of-ordinary and play tricks.

A big WOW to Pierre,and a WOW and LOL to elvishefer, and a damn you guys are good to everyone else :>)

Seems like some people think that this is photoshopped and some people think that I shot this for Halloween.....it's not, and I didn't ;>)

@Pierre - very cool pic!

No bug that breaks into my apartment escapes without doing some modelling first.

Lucky me, Pierre!

Just picked up the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 - here is one of my first pics.

I can't wait to see what else you do with this, Regulator. Something tells me there will be more than a few shots of Morley taken with this lens.

If I had to guess I'd say foggy streetlights, rotated so the horizon is vertical and reflected in post processing. Am I close, Pierre? It's true that it's awesome.

You got it, you’re the happy winner of an Attaboy! Parking lots.

That is amazing, Pierre!

Where is this and what is it exactly?

Perhaps we should start a "Photo-A-Half-Year" thread for those very long exposures, Niko would be busy ensuring we all behave and not post more than twice a year and exactly 6 months apart ;~)

All my photos are "Not Safe For Work" but if you want to see them I'll have to charge you $29.99 to access high resolution pics on my website :^)
