zackiedawg Posted August 23, 2010 #226 Share Posted August 23, 2010 A few recent shots from out-and-about in the wetlands...while at a local wetlands preserve, I had my favorite duck make a close flyby, and had to get an 'action' shot of him in flight - this is the black-bellied whistling duck, taken with my Sony A550 & Minolta 300mm F4 lens: Out at the Everglades, I was walking through the cypress trails when I spotted this butterfly, familiar down here in the south, called the 'ruddy daggerwing' (Sony A550 & Minolta 300mmm F4): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerabella Posted August 23, 2010 #228 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Lots of our flowers are taking a real beating in the heat, but these rudbeckia still thrive on the roadway. (A grab shot today when I drove to check the mail...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debathome Posted August 24, 2010 #229 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Wow, National Geographic had better sign some of you folks on! Wonderful close ups and such sharp images. The duck in flight is really amazing. Dave, the prom pics are a lot of fun. I am sure everyone is happy to have a personal photographer in the family. Everyone looks so beautiful. Could you come over and do our family shots? Oh, I guess you have to be pretty good looking to begin with! :D Love all the photos people. Keep it up! I can't tell you how many of these I've used as screen savers. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judynorth Posted August 24, 2010 #231 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Today we finally had some relief from the heat and humidity and got out and took a few pictures. It wasn't a great picture-taking day but the clouds were interesting. This picture was taken at a local park: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRoff Posted August 25, 2010 #233 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I thought this one was kind of fun. The perspective of the wide lens makes the glasses look tilted and the rims of the glasses create different illusions. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh2gocruisin Posted August 25, 2010 #234 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've been watching this thread and enjoying all of the creative shots being shared. Just purchased my first dslr (Nikon D5000) about a month ago so I'm just learning the basics, but also playing with some of the manual settings. Here are a couple I took recently at an exhibit called "Heads Up". I know I have a lot to learn, so critiques are more than welcome.

Example: See the whole gallery here: http://dodgerdigital.smugmug.com/Events/Summer-Night-Shooting Nicely done! They don't have the sci-fi movie poster look that a lot of HDR images end up with. More like what the eye saw at the time. (Which is what I personally think HDR should do!) Happy shooting! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Photomatix and Topaz and decrease the doctored layer opacity down to a reasonable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
