Debathome Posted January 27, 2012 #1401 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wow, wow, wow. That is a beautiful photograph. Thank you. :) I love all the pics and perspectives on here. I also love seeing what everyone is getting up to. I guess I am just nosey at heart. :p The ice festival looks like it was a lot of fun. Blueboss, keep enjoying your lens! Amazing.

johneeo Posted January 27, 2012 #1402 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I got a 55-300mm lens in today and was trying it out tonight. I was freezing by the time I got this picture and there was a slight breeze shaking the tripod. It's fuzzy, but I was so excited to see the detail. So far very happy with this lens! Just had to share this one. Nice, what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi09 Posted January 27, 2012 #1403 Share Posted January 27, 2012 My first sunrise photo for 2012. It's been a mild winter so far on our side. No frozen part of the lake can be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debathome Posted January 27, 2012 #1404 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Rav, Beautiful!! It has been a wonderful winter so far hasn't it? We have had our first real snow just today and the lake is frozen just to the breakwater but I wouldn't risk walking on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had our first real snow just today and the lake is frozen just to the breakwater but I wouldn't risk walking on it! Thank you. Normally, there should have been a slab of ice forming near the lake shore at this time of year. Grass is still green and winter will be over soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoff Posted January 27, 2012 #1406 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nice photos of warm Canada. Amazing winter or lack thereof in Maryland also. Well, again, I didn't use my camera today, but played with a newish treatment in Photoshop. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravi09 Posted January 27, 2012 #1409 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nice pic Larry. One thing to watch out if you did this with hdr/exposure blending is the introduction of halos. This usually occur where the dark and bright background meet as you can see in the trees and sky and along the horizon in your photo.

A bit too heavy of a hand on the strength of the HDR. I try to avoid halos. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueboss Posted January 27, 2012 #1412 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nice, what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO did you use? f4.5, 2 second shutter speed at ISO 800. I've only had this camera a couple of weeks and am still learning everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi09 Posted January 30, 2012 #1413 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Went out yesterday afternoon to try my luck despite the crappy weather (freezing rain/wet snow). Saw some buffleheads and long-tailed ducks but they were too far away to get a decent shot. All I got are the tundra swans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted February 2, 2012 #1414 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Our three ornamental plum trees are a little confused about the seasons ... They did flower in spring, got covered in leaves and then last month (middle of summer) all decided they would shed their foliage. No sooner had the last leaves come off, they started sprouting again, mostly leaves with the odd flower :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted February 2, 2012 #1415 Share Posted February 2, 2012 And here is one specially for sparky-elpaso :) I believe this is a white-faced heron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky-elpaso Posted February 2, 2012 #1416 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Cool. We live in the desert so I love seeing all the gorgeous water birds. Just 2 more weeks and we'll be in Australia so I can see those birds in person. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dileep Posted February 3, 2012 #1418 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) And here is one specially for sparky-elpaso :)I believe this is a white-faced heron Looks a lot like the Great Blue Heron in the U.S.A but with less white!. Different beak too. Edited February 3, 2012 by dileep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi09 Posted February 3, 2012 #1419 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nice shot of Mr. Rainier Dileep. Here's a shot of one of the weird winter weather we have here. Wet snow and freezing rain in the morning, windy and beautiful clouds formation in the afternoon just in time for the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy12 Posted February 5, 2012 #1420 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Whew! It's taken me days to work my way through this entire thread, but I've enjoyed every moment of it! What phenomenal photographs, everyone! Some of those wildlife pictures just blow my mind! And such gorgeous landscapes, too! I'm envious of those of you who live in all these scenic places teeming with interesting birds and animals to shoot - and of those of you who really have eye for this kind of thing! I'm so excited to get my new camera in and start playing with it, seeing what I can do, what I can find! Can't wait to see what else y'all post!

Ravi09 Posted February 5, 2012 #1422 Share Posted February 5, 2012 @taffy12: Congratulations on your new camera. You can find all the photography resources on the web but nothing beats by going out as often as you can and take photos. This is the best and fun way to learn. Went out last night to take some sunset photos. Winter is almost over, the smell of spring is in the air. Cheers, Conrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted February 5, 2012 #1423 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Another unseasonably warm day in the mid-Atlantic. I went down to the water. Most of the gulls were sitting quietly along the pier, except for these two, who were squawking up a storm, chased the other birds away, and then went after each other. (I again want to thank everyone above who gave me great tips on taking pictures of "birds in flight" [or, in this case, "birds in fight." :)]. I have been practicing. This board is a great resource.)
