Thanks! Had the D300 on continuous focus as the big bird was coming towards me, it turned out ok.
Got a tip for us?

I'd like to analyze this photo in my Psychology of the Unconscious class tomorrow.
Over the weekend I was walking with friends around boston. This man was playing all sorts of different wooden flutes right in front of Fanueil Hall and Houstons Restaurant. Pretty neat sounding stuff. Its too bad there was a white signpost behind him, but I think the picture came out well regardless.

Don't want to sound like a 'smart Alec'... but if you'd moved a few steps to left or right, the white signpost wouldn't have been behind the guy.

Nice, relaxed picture, with the restricted colour range helping the mood. But the unsupported greenery behind her head looks like a triffid ready to pounce. God, I'm getting picky...
If you could see some more of the plant - and where it's coming from - it might be better. I'm sure no-one else will see it this way, but, well...
Sometimes it's the details that complete a picture.

I really like this one! Wonder what it says about my unconscious psychy?
Here's my contribution for the day:
The word is Ass, Smart Ass, not Smart Alec!
True, but in England we say "arse"... and you can't say the word without sounding vaguely ridiculous...
Anyway, the light on the lake was very strange yesterday evening. The pic doesn't do it justice, but the weather's exactly the same today (very clear and far too hot for mid Feb in UK
), so I'll get up to one of my favourite viewpoints and see what happens. I'll pack a torch, 'cos the light was changing long after the sun had gone down...

Another scene from my helicopter ride yesterday - Kansas City, Missouri.
Like it: the mood, the silhouette, the colour, the slight vignetting, the simplicity. But I'm in a picky mood today, and somehow I want to see the whole shape of that pod (ie uninterrupted by where it's overlapping with the branches), 'cos in silhouette you need to make things simpler still (ie a silhouetted face in profile 'makes sense', but if it's turned just five degrees away from profile, then it won't). Don't know if this makes sense...
Can't begin to tell you how hard it was to get the 2 year old to stay in the shot.

Can't begin to tell you how wierd it is to see a two-year-old kid with this T-shirt: "My mum is hot"...
