    Really great work from everyone. Loved those b&w shots a few pages back and also the HDR contributions make me consider to give that a try. Not to mention the exceptional portraits and non-HDR landscapes.

    I am still waiting for my camera to get back from service (it should be here tomorrow).

    @WarEagle - perfect.
    @tcole, that's worked out just fine, very atmospheric. I did something similar once, very stupid and very annoying as I was at 3200 and it all but ruined the images for me in the end. Still, you learn from your mistakes and I've never done it since.

    Fort Perch Lighthouse, New Brighton, England

    The lighthouse theme has been and gone a month or so ago, but you can't knock 'em as far as a subject is concerned. This was a 30 second exposure playing with my new big stopper, I wanted to get cloud movement and to smooth out the water as it was very, very windy and the rock pool was all over the place. Next up, a polariser to fit in with my Lee filters...

    A decent spot to return when the tide is high and coming in through these rocks I reckon.

    Last night, headed from the wedding to my son's reception the Big Sun gave me a gift...this is taken by simply pulling onto an exit ramp, jumping out and....

    Porsche 996

    With the excellent photos on PAD, I think this is at least in the class....but we really have some very nice stuff here. Thanks all...

    Taken two days ago. Last of the summer flowers blooming in my yard.

    I am directly in the center path of Hurricane Sandy (started raining lightly this morning) so my next few photos will likely be wet ones.

    Really nice shots everyone. What a lift to the morning to visit these pages!
    Donald Jose, Msmoto, Coastalconn and others in or near the path of sandy, take care.

    Here's mine for today.

    Yeti, just superb detail. Almost enough to make me look forward to our first frost. This is one of the b&w images I was talking about yesterday. I think you get a much greater feel for the detail in b&w. This is called The Priest and the Nuns. You can see a standing figure to the right, with two figures kneeling before him. For some perspective, those boulders just below are the size of a large SUV.

    golf, I like that HDR, but it needs straightening.

    Squamish, excellent portraiture as usual.

    Coastalconn, lovely eagle in that last.

    I finally decided to register and start posting. I often combine two interests when photographing (that is theme parks and photography). This one is from a recent trip to Europa-Park in Germany.

    Agree with Adam, Squamish. Your portrait work is pretty awesome. Adam, this is just outside of Moab, Utah, best known as the jumping off point for Canyonlands and Arches national parks. It's a place everyone should shoot at least once.

    @proudgeek - thanks for info, I've been couple of times in states, but never to Utah. I guess, will have to go there one day.
    @mk2pop - nice pano, though a little bit to tight IMHO, would love to see some environment

    Just a Flower

    D800, 105mm 2.8G @ f/51(!), ISO 100.
    the full res is in the link, and yeah, diffraction has taken its toll... also it might not be too sharp since the wind was blowing a little bit ( i was using a tripod and everything ). Also, you can see dust/oil on the sensor if you look : S But the photo turned out well enough.

    I've come to the conclusion that shooting concerts is like fishing. You keep casting your shots until you can snag the light and hope your catch doesn't spin on you. Not to mention the rough waters and obstacles you have to go through in order to cast your shots, no wonder fisherman are always drinking beer! lol

    All these unbelievable photos. I don't know how I can even compete!

    Had a trip out to the folks' cabin and was planning to do some landscapes. Well, some heavy fog rolled in and what I hoped might make for some great atmosphere just ended up blinding everything. So I ended up capturing what I could still manage to see.

    I took this shot and it kind of reminded me of the scene in the Lord of the Rings when Frodo & company hid on the side of the road when the Nazgul showed up.

    Stay off the Road

    Completely agree! I was trying to coax someone outside to fill in, but unfortunately everyone wanted to stay in where it was warm and dry lol

    But I almost feel like I keep looking at it waiting for someone to ride/walk up the road out of the fog which is fun too.
