OK, this is one taken while doing some snapshots for an event I support... The annual Winter Walk for AIDS in Greensboro, NC. The dog was too cute and came rushing by as the walk progressed.

Regulator, your hoarfrost shots are almost enough to make me look forward to the dead of winter. Almost. Kind of a strange one from me today. What I've always liked about this is that you can just see the sunlight passing through the bird's nostrils.

Amazing bird shots !!! ......... especially Squamish... :)
@donaldjose : great freeze of the ballplayer .....@ benji : nicely done ! ...... great shot..
@ David : interesting shot !
@ Pippigurl : amazing view !!...
While we were discussing how close one can get to a bird, here's a shot where I wished if I could go just a LITTLE closer !!! ......
The Himalayan Monal is the textbook 'photographer's nightmare' .... though its mountainous habitat is now made easier to reach, thanks to technology ....... it is a rarity to spot ....... and still more notorious for sticking to shadows and keeping out of reach of the lens when it makes its rare appearance .... I was lucky enough to get a few shots on my very first attempt at it !! ....
Just an average shot for record, but I still found it worth sharing for the sake of the enigma of the bird :)

I have been out of town for a while and not able to post or comment. The photos in December are really great.
Rschnaible, to address your question about how cows survive in the west, your photo depicts a 10-80 range, that is it takes a cow with a 10 foot wide mouth running at 80 miles an hour and eating all the while to survive there! ha..ha.Posted 5 months ago # -
If any body is ever looking for a photo challenge, take some shots of your local symphony orchestra. Here is a pre-concert warm-up of a youth symphony orchestra. Whites (shirts and paper) and blacks (suits and background) will be predominant. All submersed in a tungsten stage light. LR4 was my best friend for these pictures :).

Such a challenge for me to get internet reception, then when I do I sit in front of PAD just amazed by everyones great work.
@ pippigurl - love your shot of NYC.
@ rschanaible - your desert landscapes are beautiful
@ Avadheshmalik - you do such wonderful landscapes, your alpine one is stunning
@ squamish - last time I got that close to a bird it bit me - great capture !
@ regulator - Great capture on the hay bales in the snowy field.I had to climb a tree to snap this guy.......to my disappointment he seemed so disinterested !

The great photos continue...
For the next few days I am posting some "portraits" which are an attempt to show the individuals and personalities rather than just a "picture" of the face....
D4, 85mm f/1.8 G Nikkor, 1/160, f/8, ISO 100, Elinchrom D-Lite at about 200 WS as "glamour light", another bounced off 12" reflector to add slight top light. These were shot to a 2x3 format on request.

rschnaible, I'm loving your SW photos. One of my favorite places to visit. I got out there last spring for the first time in years, although I could only spare a few days as opposed to your longer visit. Here's one I shot on the way into Moab on Route 191, about 20 miles outside of town. I really liked the contrast between the canyons and the La Sal range. You can also see Fisher Towers in the foreground.

@ Adam....Good equipment...LOL....I will post another tomorrow and it has a full res size on Flickr.... One will see in the one for tomorrow at f/8.0 the DOF is about 5 cm. with the 85mm f/1.8 G at a camera subject distance of roughly 1 - 1.5 meters.
A comment on the current PAD photos.... I view many of these with envy. And, they inspire me to go shoot some landscapes. Just beautiful work by so many of you all.
Donald... nice catch...
Pippi....love these shots...

This is a look at Cliff Canyon, a World Heritage Site, where the Anasazi established a thriving culture for several thousand years until about Circa 1200.
