    Here is an impression from the weekend - one of my sons surfing down the beach front (boogey-boarding). What I like: Although it is fast shutter speed one can anticipate the movement by the wave(s). Didn't like the shadow in his face, but fill-flash wasn't an option over the distance.

    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.

    No, I'm not saying that there was a technical problem with the shot, my question was asked because I have similar problems with my own shots. When shooting something with deep, intense colors such as deep red or pink flowers, there appears to be blotches of white similar to your shot where there appears to have been overexposure but there shouldn't have.

    Maybe this question should be directed in another thread.

    The grass was still covered in rain drops from the evening.
    Causing the bokeh to really pop as the Sun lit it up in the morning.

    Just got back from a 10 day trip to Alaska. This was a fantastic place to exercise the camera shutter.

    To everyone, Great pictures, to much to give comment to everyone. The one whick I found very special was Postman picture.

    I believe June will exceed May ;-)

    Edit. Posting comments afterwards

    @mcammer, Great catch. What is wrong with the focus?
    @Postman! Holy crap what a nice color portrait!
    @framer, Great catch and very nice detail, what lens did you use?
    @Regulator75, very nice bokeh indeed
    @Juergen, where are the bikes? ;-)
    @Rifqi, what a nice macro :)

    3 shots taken at 10mm stitched in PS. This is the Tasman Glacier, NZ's largest glacier and to the left is Aoraki Mount Cook, it's tallest mountain.

    Taken in the middle of the day without a cloud in the sky but despite that, I like how this came out.

    Thanks NSX and Pickerel!

    Great shots to all.


    D7000 N18-105mm VR @ 40m f/5.6 1/160 ISO 400

    One of the largest parties I have ever been to--Queen's Day, in Amsterdam. A day that everyone gets off work, wears bright orange, and parties in the streets. Or in this case, canals. You can barely make out that this is canal, the boats are crammed in so tightly. People were just jumping from boat to boat.

    @Derry I guess you were trying to upload a photo. 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.
