Msmoto, this 400mm lens is something!
Very nice one Benji
Spent the entire week in Austria and had only little time to snatch some photos in between.
A zoom lense (24-70) at 70mm and f18 is not really the right lens for such a shot. But I had to travel light.

Nikon D7000, 35mm f/1.8, ISO 250, 1/2000
Had a going-away BBQ for a friend heading back home to the States in a couple days... my buddy Osipov was doing the grilling for us.
Some nice stuff continues... and for me, another of the SuperBikes at Road America....different angle and the sun was struggling to find its way to the ground... at ISO 5600, and FYI, the shot is taken from about 200 feet (60 meters) from the bikes.
And, the 2000px size

Sunset over Lake Wakatipu, near Queenstown NZ.
On the full size image you can pick out the famous steamer out on the lake, the TSS Earnslaw. At 165ft long its lost in the vast space of the lake. You can probably just pick out the speck here, one third in from the right hand edge of the image.
@Postman.... if you upload to Flickr, a full size image 2000-3000 px, and then post the 800px HTML from Flickr, on NRF, then we can access your image at full size. Or post a link to your image at full size so we can see the boat..... which is 1/3rd in from the LEFT side as I see it. Or is it the little, little speck on the right side?

Thank you for the feedback on the leafJuergen
Here is a strong statement on the colors red and brown

It is the right. The left hand speck is an island :)
@msmoto : Amazing photography. If you're not getting paid for these images it's a shame. ;)
@Janoch : Love the monochrome color of this image.
This original images had flat fall colors, so B&W suited it better.

... PC-E 45mm f2.8 @ f7.1 ... 3º vertical tilt • 8 image focus stack (handheld)...
I am a bist surprised you had to do so much focus-stacking with a tilt... Wouldn't you be able to get everything focus in one shot?
Nice colors Janoch, really like the mood.
Superb msmoto, quite a bit of noise on the last one?
Great photo's from everyone!
wheelmanbf- what a riot of flowers! Excellent shot.
rschnaible- cool macro! I'm just curious- is the camera overexposing around the middle of the flowers?

@VelocityStop : nice one, it looks slightly tilt-shifted. Might just be me :P Why the ND filter?
Thanks, no tilts or shifts... it was cropped some and the front of the train was sharpened some (kind of a weird angle, too). The ND filter was on to keep the aperture wide open and shutter speed lower to create more of a look of movement on some shots. It probably did not need to be on in that particular shot due to it being cloudy and the woods creating extra shade (I had it set on auto-ISO so the end result was just a higher ISO because of the ND filter). Taking pictures of trains involves a lot of bailing out of the car, quickly setting up a shot, getting the shot, and then diving back in the car to catch up with and get ahead of the train for the next one. So, once the filter was on, it stayed on. The following shot actually made use of the filter (but not as much blur as I wanted, so I may use my 50 1.8D with two ND filters next time).

Tried myself at image stitching, following the Brenizer method. Not sure the result looks wide angle enough, though. shot with a 70-200 2.8 Tamron on a D80.
Finally got around to getting pics off the camera
I hate when that happens Juergen, but I think everyone has had that experience before sadly. You still got a great shot though! :)
@wheelmanbmf - Gorgeous colours and composition. So vivid!
I finally finished processing all my Iceland photos. My next challenge is the Downeast Country Dance Festival, at the end of March near Portland, Maine. The first night I think most of my photos came from one waltz. While everyone was waltzing with partners, I was waltzing about with my D7000 + 70-200, and it was doing marvelously with 3D tracking. Almost every shot was in focus, the rest was just up to me to see moments and capture them. It's great when the camera does most of the work so reliably for me!

macro is all new to me and on the learning curve I have taken dozens of shots and this is really the only shot that is half way decent. I have a lot to learn on macro. I do have a 105 mm prime that should arrive on Monday. Not sure if part of my problem is the use of the zoom rather than working with my body to get the right position.

janoch, cyclekraft and kanuck, nice landscapes there.
It seems I disappeared for a while again but I have some new shots now. I just got a set of Kenko extension tubes in order to get a bit closer with my macro. I've only had the opportunity to try it out on one bug hunt so far so I still need practice. The below shot is probably my favourite.
Dang guys and gals - I don't feel worthy to post something today.... Amazing photos!
I'll do the cheap way out and do a Iphone photo for my day.
Iphone 4 - I think Snapseed. EXIF wasn't saved.
