where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
Today had me wishing I had more mm's of zoom...all the 18-200 could muster
Remnants of Winterfest
@mike - enjoy your new camera!
A classic Meissner effect shot jonny, great detail on the frost on the magnet.
Thanks, kaos.
Awesome train shot, Pierre.
Where are all those skulls, Elvis? Cool perspective.
@ja - They're at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. They're in the 'interactive' section of the museum, but you can't touch them so I think they must be used for presentations in addition to being a damn fine collection. As for the photograph, I was rushed and shot wide with the Tokina 11-16mm to try to get the 'wow' factor, but having thought about it for a while, I would like to go back and frame out some of the photos within the photo. Something for me to do next time :)
Garie Beach on the South Coast of NSW, Australia (1 hour south of Sydney in the Royal National Park)
Really gusty and hazey/foggy day so it doesn't make for the best of photos. The water was also freezing so no swimming either, unfortunately.
A note of interest though, there were hundreds (I'm guessing) of dead birds lying on the beach. I heard it was due to a recent storm and the birds had washed up onto the sand. Must have been a few weeks prior to my visit as some had been reduced to skeletons.
@wind - nice view.
Sun directly overhead, luscious green waters below. AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm VR @ 270mm
D90 & Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
Seen at 11mm and f/7.1 with a 6 second exposure.
Nice shots Pierre and Jonny.
Similar shot to one I posted a few days ago, but it is a different image.

Thanks :) Took a lot of work getting there though! Especially if it's a 3 hour hike after a wet month, you ate something funny for dinner the night before and the only toilet is at the end of the trek :S
That walk down to the beach was pretty hairy too...you can't see it but the ground pretty much drops away, so it wasn't a gentle stroll down lol
There are none of those around where I live Treckie, lucky you.
@tcole - cool sign
I think its time to start saving up for a wider lens. I like the photograph but i was not lucky enough for the wind to stop blowing.
Btw if i ever post anything here that sucks, please please someone tell me it does. I think honest opinion will help me to get better.
@pierre i love the train photograph!!
