Really liking this 40-150 2.8. Allows me to get closer to things I don’t want to get too close to.

On a hillside out side of Three Forks Montana sit 30 steel sculptures horses. This is a close up of one of them. Fuji X100V ISO 640 1/350s f/2.8
One of two turtles soaking up the sun at Meadow Botanical Gardens, Vienna, VA:
Today's walk in the canyon didn't yield many good photos. This was taken with the stock 18-55 VR lens on the D3300.

Really, really nice image! Out of focus area is really nice too.

Really nice! I'd love to see a shot of at least several of them together - maybe all 30? That wide context shot

Krill en mass @ Picton NZ...... to complete the story. Unfortunately I was not able to dive in to shoot from under water. Didn't have the required gear with me. Taken from a floating jetty.
Thanks! What’s weird is that I posted this in another forum, too, and it’s more vibrant there than here. I guess this site knocked the colors down? Anyone else notice that?

Yeah, and they can endure some pretty hot dry places in the lower 48 too. I once found one growing on the edge of a bluff. It was the regular red and yellow variety.Columbine. Tough little plants considering that they survive the cold Alaska winters.
It’s the state weed...er...flower here in Colorado. Joking aside, it is lovely.
hello @dimme
this is one of the most amazing photos i have seen.
really well done.
thanks for posting it.
can you share how it was done (camera, lens, and what you needed to do to achieve that angle...)
The Boof is so at home and at ease whenever I am exploring places , she loves it! I had to keep an eagle-eye on her here as there are two buildings currently having asbestos removed from them, so made sure she stuck by my side there near them. She really is amazing!
I should get a photo taken one day of the two of us in our matching high-vis jackets!
Sony a7III, Sony 16-35mm f/4, Daylight WB
16mm, ISO 100, f/4, 1/320

I have observed a subtle but noticeable difference primarily with colour on here. Autotweaks have been applied to all images posted here on the forums for years, but it was instantly noticeable when I recently returned! Might have to host them outside!

Stay tuned
"Absolutely" for both comments!
It looked like stepping into a warzone when there, but really hit home when I saw the images start to import! Has given me some great ideas to explore time-lapses & other things there.
I can't get out so much nowadays so here's another oldie...

Thanks for the kind words. The photo was shot with a GoPro camera in still mode. (I hardly use it for video) laying on the ground propped up with a rock. I use the remote control app on my I phone. And the walked the model (Gus my dog) around. I edited the photo in light room to correct the distortion of the GoPro.
thanks @dimme.
just looking at the photo i sensed that you must have had to use multiple strategies to get this striking pose by Gus among those trees to actually work in print, so i appreciate learning more about how you actually did it.
there is a lot to learn about both composition and technique in this photo.
thanks.
