Where do you think the Romulans got the idea from in the first place? Beautiful, Clix Pix. I'm really feeling the motion of flight in that image.That goose looks like Romulan Warbird.
Spent some time in the city last night:
Science world?
Try straightening the pic a hair to the right.
Thank you, Valdore and Srf4Real! He's one of many we have out here on our little lake....summer and winter! In the spring I love to capture the development of the goslings which join their ranks.
I was out on the lake in my dinghy a few days ago, when I saw about twenty geese flying in formation... except they were flying along the surface of the water like stealth bombers... and heading straight for my boat. In any kind of collision between a canada goose and me, I know who'd come off second best (imagine a roast turkey being fired out of a cannon). At the last minute the formation split into two, and I got off a couple of shots as these geese past. They were very close - to the water and to me - and this is a wide-angle shot. Phew...
Not a patch on ClixPix's shot, but the same bird, I think. In UK we call them canada (not 'Canadian') geese; maybe a different name in US.

This is really nice, but I think it would look a lot better if you cropped off the bottom half of the stones so the sky took up 2/3 of the frame and the stones took up 1/3. It would turn it into a wider shot and I think applying the rule of thirds makes it look so much nicer. Just my advice
Thank you for the advise...i agree, but i don't have photoshop right now.(but i will after Xmas)
Thank you too, lol
It was really a random, quick shot.
Since no cars were coming down the highway i placed my little P&S down in the middle of the road and snapped this pic.
I think i may have broken some rules with this photo too...
Backyard
Camera: Sony DSLR-A100
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture: f/9
Focal Length: 70 mm
ISO Speed: 400
HDR from one RAW | Nikon D40 | 1/400 @ /10 | ISO 200
Where was this shot taken? Looks very much like the territory just to the south of where I'm living.
SLC
Thank's marclapierre13
regarding the noise, that's about as good as it gets on this camera at iso 400
But i'm actualy quite fond of the noise
Note:this photo was taken with firmware 1.00, i have since upgraded to 1.04 and it seems the noise is (IMHO) slightly lower at higher iso's.
,but still nothing magical
So what do they call it in Canada?
Australian Geese

You don't need photoshop to do that!

If there's something you'd like a print of, just PM me. I do sell stuff every so often in an effort to supplement my meager income.
I like it. Looks like multiple exposures from the camera instead of from one RAW, correct?

HDR from one RAW // Shutter: 1/80 // Aperture: f/6.4 // Focal Length: 17mm // ISO 100
...I know I know, another bloody HDR- but this time for the practical purpose that it highlighted the foreground, which seemed dark and flat without it.

Any chance of a full size of both these shots? I want to wallpaper the first, and the desire for the second is purely aesthetic. Pretty please?

Does Kansas City ever have blue skies?
What time of day do you find best to take your shots that ultimately end up HDR? Do you find it easier to create from one RAW, or do bracket exposure on 3+ shots?
Good job! There aren't too many places to pull over on that little stretch of road. What brought you to Utah from NYC?
yep, 4 varying exposures. Starting to get the hang of this thing
On a side-note, I don't think HDR is a "fad" in the sense that it will be gone in a few months time, but it's just another technique a photographer can use, like B&W. Sure, it's popular now because it's new, but as photographers refine their techniques, it can only get better
