I know the bonobo is is blurry. Dude moved and I was jostled at the same time. I still like the photo of two cousins regarding each other.

Scarborough Bluffs. See the person on the bottom for scale, the bluffs are about as high as Niagara Falls.



Beach near the bluffs



Invisible Arrow!

Meanwhile, in the Shenandoah...

What I see almost every workday in the morning: view from one of the exists of Glories metro station in Barcelona. Perspective is skewed on purpose.

Why skew it?

Some photos from downtown Los Angeles.

I Love that first shot. Great weather, clean composition, and the stairs are well placed to give the shot a sense of balance.

At first blush, I like the composition on this one. Color balance is quite nice - but the orange loops on the track are slightly distracting. They don't have much visual weight and and make it more difficult to decide if they should be the subject - or the tall building in the background the track leads to. The brightnest of the garage also sticks out a bit but I think that anchors the picture.

Love the colors on this one. Not sure if it should have a bit more context around it or not.

I like the scene - especially the contrast between buildings. Pity the middle-left one has to be white It's a bit hard to determine if there's a subject or the buildings are supposed to be it.

Some photos from my hike yesterday

Panasonic GF-1 with 7-14mm lens

Lonestar: ARF ARF PUGGLE ARF.

Fin: I approve of that bridge shot. What were your settings?

Daisy the suburban puggle was quickly perturbed by the woods.



I HEAR SOMETHING!



I HEAR SOMETHING AGAIN!

Did the digging and here they are:

Camera: Panasonic GF-1
Lens: 7-14mm f4 (equivalent to 14-28mm on 35mm full frame)

The first shot was taken at 7mm focal length, f4 aperture, 1/3s shutter, ISO400.

The second was taken at similar settings, but 1/4s shutter.

All taken without tripod (I really need to get one) so that might explain the little jitter...

That's remarkably sharp given a third of a second. I'd have gone up to ISO 800-1000 and cut the shutter speed up to 1/20 or so myself.

Well, the lens is a good lens. Cost me about 1000 USD equivalent.

I didn't want to go too high as the Panasonic GF-1 noise starts to go up a little, though still within tolerance. In any case, I tried to anchor myself against the railing to take the first shot, reducing jitter quite perceptably.

I approve of this shot. Seriously, it's good, and I'm amazed it's that sharp at 1/3 sec! You've got some good technique there, anchored or not.

EDIT: Please link your pictures to the relevant Flickr page as well; it's in the Flickr TOS.

Here are the links:

A camera with one of those pivoting screens would really have helped to frame & light this one better.
Shooting blind was no fun at all...

I like the first one, Lonestar, especially the alignment with the trail. Was this ahead or behind you? My first thought was that this was a look back down the path.

I think that one is when I looked back. That trail goes alllllllllllllll the way to Mount Katahdin in Maine.

Green!

Generic, but I like it. First uploaded shot ever with my new used 70-200 D:
