En Pointe: Anna's Hummingbird by MCH-1138, on Flickr
Nikon D7000 • Nikon 300mm f/4D (AF-S) • 1/250 @ f/22 • 2 Speedlights
I took this photo a year ago and originally didn't process it because the bird was awkwardly positioned relative to the flower that I had set up and its eye was closed. I recently rediscovered it in my Aperture archives and decided to work on it because I have found these particular birds (male Anna's hummingbirds) very challenging to light and I liked the colors in this frame. So this one has some Photoshop work that I normally try to avoid, including cloning out the feeder and flower and compositing the eye in from a different photo of the same bird. It was originally shot against the black background though.
Banff is a very nice place.

Rainy day in Southern California yesterday. This little fellow took shelter under the patio cover for a bit.

From a vienna church, loved the art work
In a similar vein to my last post but in NYC instead. Comments always appreciated.

Anna's Hummingbird (Female or Juvenile) by MCH-1138, on Flickr

Well, it seems the distance ring from the inside of a Jupiter 8 is a perfect fit, and since that's been cannibalised for my tilt/shift I have used it for the Helios. My front elements are no longer touching each other.
Thanks for the tip

Paignton Pier by Stephen Cooper, on Flickr
Canon Eos 6D, EF 24-70 f/2.8 MkII @ 24mm, 30 Seconds, f/14, iso 100 - SRB ND1000 filter - conversion to b&w using Nik Silver Efex Plugin.
Going to break the rules slightly and share two versions of the same pic, one in B&W and one in color.
I tend to prefer B&W for many subjects and in general prefer the B&W version of this photo. However, the tonal values of his right hand blurred with the tonal values of his shirt and since both are out of focus it creates kind of a mess in the foreground. Not an issue with the color version. Would welcome opinions. 50mm prime @ f/1.4.
