@Mihai CH. Yup there is some PP work done at the background to isolate the foreground scene. No way that is possible in camera considering it was taken at an aperture of f/8.

cpgregoria, I don't care if that was post-processed; it's awesome. Here's a bird of a different color. The male magnificent frigate bird puts on a pretty amazing display during mating season.

Back from my self-imposed 48 hour exile to balance off posting two images (one photograph and a crop from the same photograph) in one posting to illustrate different ways to use the rule of thirds composition technique. Here is another use of "Rule of Thirds" with a wide-angle shot of the same barn from a different angle. The horizontal line of brown weeds is located about one third of the way up from the bottom of the frame. The barn is located at the juncture of this horizontal line and a vertical line running about one third of the way in from the left side of the image. Same scene, same composition technique, three different images produced.
D90, 18-70mm lens at 18mm.
Better seen at larger size on a large wide monitor: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8197/8183330354_9ec330c584_k.jpg
If you want to see the "Rule of Thirds" lines in your viewfinder many Nikon bodies can be set ot do so. Look in the Custom Setting Menu for Shooting/Display and look there for Viewfinder Grid Display. Set the viewfinder grid display to on. You will now see the rule of third lines in the viewfinder to assist you as you compose an image.
This will be the last of my "Rule of Thirds" photos. The technique should be obvious to anyone now who had not know about it previously. Next, I will post some photos I shot yesterday using a diagonal composition technique.

A hummingbird feeding at Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad. The little buggers move quickly and I have a large discard pile - thank God for digital cameras.

Great work, cpgregorio.
I know someone who goes by the handle "dubaiphil" who's photography reminds me of yours and I think that you'll like his stuff a lot. Hope you like.

High Line in NYC. Seems like NYC would make for so many photography opportunities, but being in such a big city rapidly drains all my energy...

Thank you rschnaibke, pippigurl, and CE.
@ Pippigurl, for that image I reduced saturation a bit then enhanced the reds and greens. Finally increased contrast to give it an edgier look.@ dormant, did you happen to try shutter speed 1/4000 vs. 1/8000 with that hummingbird? Would love to see the result. I do like the way the head is stationary with the wings and tail a flutter.
@ SquamishPhoto, she's a doll. You nailed focus here. Love it!Posted 6 months ago # -

That's an excellent shot, Bob. Excellent scene and well done PP.
Very nice rensuchan
Here is more from our Indian Summer, which is unfortunately coming to an end.

Killer landscapes, rensuchan and rshnaible. Seeing them in sequence really makes for a great visual experience . And apparently where benji lives candy simply grows on trees. ;]

Another great day on PAD!
Well I have to come to the sad realization that Osprey season is pretty much over. I have been going through my piles of shots from August and came across this one..

Once again coastal, I'm in awe of your bird photography. Rschnaible, this one is superb. Love it out there.

Amazing shots as always:
@Squamish - love your series of portraits. All are amazingly well done
@benji2505 - that does look like candy... but the image is fantastic. I really like the focused and blurred fruit on the stem that runs through the picture
@rschnaible, @rensuchan, @costalconn and everyone else, excellent and interesting photos.

@lubos: Very nice shot. Love the contrast of the flower blooms in the foreground with the dark looming cloud deck.
@Jorpet: beautifully composed and brilliant to the eye. Too bad we don't see more snow caps in the background

Thanks Pippigurl. The image was shot in mid-July, but you give me the idea of shooting this same shot in mid-May. The sun would be about the same location, but the Olympics would have far more snow. Added to my calendar...
