    Ever wondered...?

    My shadow in the picture is unfortunate, but somehow the rocks belong in that picture.

    Another staccato of superb photos !! ..... I can't pick any particular favourite ...
    .. though from my point of view as a (predominantly) bird photographer, I think

    Coastal and Newfie have done a wonderful job.

    Oh, my. Coastalconn, that is a stunner! That needs to go in a nature photo contest.

    Great shots, everyone. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring.

    It is. The Atlantic Puffin. The local colony has over 100,000 birds. So happy the D700 is poop proof!

    Here is another shot I took around 7:30PM as the sun was setting. The DR on the D4 is truly amazing.

    Each day I log on here I see such inspiring images. Kudos to everyone!

    This one was taken on a miserable day this past winter. It ended up snowing towards the end of it which shut the shoot down, but the model was a real trooper. She got into these shots in such a great way. This is probably my favorite from the shoot. I love her composure.

    A wonderful day for all.

    Thank you all for your kind words. I have indeed outdone what I thought I was capable of. Today a much simpler image

    I found a lost homer racing pigeon (tag was AU 2012 Fall river) in the woods when I was searching for the eagle. I had to use some on camera fill flash. So 500mm, F9, iso 400 +.3 1/60th at 500mm, HH as always

    Ok, you guys are way too good for me, I need some help. This photo was taken with a Coolpix E5400 in 2005 during a trip to Japan. This trip was the first time I actively tried to take good photos rather than just take whatever I saw. F/4.8, 1/109 sec, ISO-50, 7mm focal length on lens of P&S, which is equivalent to 35mm. I'm looking for advice on composition and better settings I could have used. Any comments would be appreciated. It's cropped just a little bit. This camera only has 5 megapixels with a 1/2.3" sensor. So don't pixel peep too much, you'll be disappointed. Even though the camera was capable of saving pictures in RAW format, I had no idea how to use RAW files in 2005. I did some PP on it recently just to make it a little brighter.
