Dude Mt. flowers
Two shot pano of the alpine flowers.
Shooting with a 50mm 1.4 on my D80 f16 1/40 hand held.
These flowers were up near the summit of Dude Mt, on the narrow ridge just below the snow line. Just below the first major patch of snow yesterday afternoon. The alpine shot was mine, and the shot of Dude Mt was taken by my daughter out of the back of the truck on the way back to town. Good day to be in Southeast Alaska.

Truly stunning. You really do have a way with a camera and a good post processing technique.
Thank you! I got a little lucky. I'd gone to that location in the evening, to take a shot upstream and downstream from the bridge. When I got there, I thought, "That looks nice," and snapped ONE shot, handheld. I then set up the tripod on the bridge, spent a half an hour shooting up and down the creek. When I looked at them all, they were OK, but nothing special; nice, and boring. I was about to relegate the lot to the hdd, when the first thumbnail caught my eye and I thought, "Hmmmm."
Later that evening, I drove up to the local cinema and took this experiment:
Monarch at Rest
Canon XSi
Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L
Very nice Sir.
Love this shot too.
This shot is Beautiful Kevin.
Years ago at another site there was a woman who always left a disclaimer on her images "intentional blur". This was something that I've always laughed at as I never understood why someone would blur their image intentionally. Perhaps that is my lack of knowledge of photography.
I know what you are saying, it isn't the type of subject that I would normally shoot or like as in one aspect it just looks like a load of cars parked on a street. However for some unquantifiable reason with the light and mood being the way it is I really like it ... which somehow defies my normal logic
Another bugshot today
Thanks,
It was taken outdoors in the Garden at my parents house, it was a really overcast day with not a lot of ambient light . Subject lit by my sigma 530dg super with a diffuser on it.
really awesome, but
I would use a much more shallow dof?
Stepping stones across the River Dodder at Bushy Park, Dublin, Ireland.
Would appreciate some C&C on this one; I'm not sure about the way the nearest steps disappear out of the frame on the right. Maybe needs to be retaken with a wider angle?

I disagree, although I can see how that would be appealing. Personally, I would move the camera so that it wasn't directly in line with the edge of the steps. I find that line so strong that it's hard to pull my focus onto the rest of the photo.
Regardless, I think it's a great shot.
