Hope the powers that be are understanding.I think Niko had the hardline stance on the 24 hr vs 1 per calendar day issue. I know he deleted some of my posts when I was careless. Adamz is on vacation right now (can't wait to see photos). I would never do anything as long as there aren't repeated, obvious offenses.
Lovely hummingbird, Colin.

johnnyapple, it will definitely be my favourite portrait lens, only used it once and I can already tell that it's far superior to my 85mm f3.5. For instance, it focuses much better, though the slightly wild model proved a bit too much in the shot below. Still love her smile in this one though.

Well I guess if this isn't here in 12 hours when I'm back in the office I'll repost or something.

Not sure how many of the light specs in the water are in the shot vs. on the shot...Posted 8 months ago # -
Some crackers here! Loving Rifqi's new lens. I have my eye on that one, although with my 35 and 50, I do fancy spending on the 24-70 - save a bit of faffing with lens changes all the time!?
Here's one from my first proper outing with my D600. 80-200 2.8 @ 80mm @2.8

My favourite part of NZ, the absolute breathtaking wilderness of Fiordland National Park, from a seat in a helicopter.
Because I'm a massive location geek, I need to know exactly where I am and what I'm looking at. Because of this I can tell you that at this point I'm directly above Lake Hall looking almost perfectly east. The mountain to the right, closest is Mount Martin (1413 metres), the mountain further away but central in the image is Mount Maury (1558 metres) and further away on the left in the distance is Mount Owen (1763 metres). The body of water not immediately under me is not connected to Lake Hall, and is in fact the South Fiord of Lake Te Anau. Now if you can't locate this exact spot on a map now, I have failed.

Postman, besides the color variety in this photo I like the tree line that is fascinating by itself and leads the viewer through the photo.

Really great images here again. Thats why I keep coming back.
Tcole, I like the lighting on the path, gets me thinking about other subjects to light up as you have done.

Can you share you secret with us?Thanks, I wish there was something special that I did, but all I did was setup about 15 feet away from th feeder and wait for the hummingbird to get thirsty and shot a short burst at 1/1000. Here's the basic exif info:
D5000, Sigma 150-500 @500mm, ISO 400, +2/3EV, f6/3, and used my tripod
@coastalconn - very nice Kingfisher, I've yet to get one anywhere near that sharp, one day I will. For me they have been very difficult to shoot, even perched.
To everyon else, there are some wonderfall shots this month.

Autumn landscape time right everyone?^^ Here is a shot from a place I have always been wanting to visit while here in South Korea. It is called the Boseong Green Tea Fields. The best ice cream shake I ever had was consumed after shooting, green tea style :)

Meinrad: Your leaf photo has great bokeh and at f11! Most people would not have thought to take that photo at 300mm and f11 to achieve great background bokeh. Your photo is a good lesson for us. Boheh is not just limited to very fast lenses shot wide open. It really is a function of depth of field, distance from the point of focus to the background and characteristics of the lens.
Once when I was in Miami Beach I noticed a fashion shoot. The photographer was using a 300mm f2.8 on a monopod. I was surprised at his lens choice. He could place himself and his model wherever he wanted. No doubt he elected to use the 300mmm rather than a 105mm portrait lens to throw the background more out of focus to produce better bokeh.
