Photo of the Day - May 2009

[Habakuk]

Panorama shot. The western and southern parts of Vienna, Austria, some days ago. Mild and young spring colors. Right from the center there is the church "St. Karl Borromäus im Geriatriezentrum Am Wienerwald" inside a large geriatrics hospital (you can see the countless pavillons) that even has it's own narrow gauge railroad.

There is a "real" railroad in the picture too. Who finds it?

Cool panoramic shot Habakuk! The train is in the middle near what looks like to be a construction site?

Another panorama view - the opposite side of the one in my previous posting. At the right side you have Schönbrunn Palace and in the background the old Inner City of Vienna.

All panoramas made with my old Canon Power Shot S40 and put together easily and very fast with Canon PhotoStitch (comes shipped with almost each model of Canon digital camera). Okay they are not perfect but it was matter of minutes...

Miss Toronto, a former grad of our school, dropped by today to promote her charitable campaign en route to her Miss Canada bid.

Great shot! I'm in Vienna now, kinda nice to see this angle. Are you standing on that rise at the south end of Schönbrunn?

Wow... Wayne Rooney...

A quiet corner of Grasmere village...

Do you mean the Gloriette Palace? Not far from it. The exact geo data for the place where I stood for both panoramas in previous postings is

48°10'36.26"N 16°17'27.82"E

But it's not a public place.

That is so cool!!!!!! Where did you get this?

Thanks. Took this at the Langley AFB, VA airshow. The pilot is the famous Kyle Franklin, son of the great Jimmy Franklin, barnstormer extraordinaire. He does this little pirate gig at the airshows that's pretty cool. He's flying the Waco Mystery Ship, BTW. Here's another for today just for you...

Excellent example of how to shoot interesting pictures of kids... rather than the boring snaps of otherwise normal activities. And a good endorsement for that 17-40L that I've been recommended already. Nice!

Thanks! I agree that pic's of "the kids" can be dreadfully boring, you can always spice it up with exploring angles. The coolest part is I was only about a foot or two away from the action...

The 17-40L on a full frame back is the whip - fo-sho..! It also has great color rendition, just a workhorse in the bag.

Just playing with the Sigma 50mm f1.4

Too bad I forgot to turn down the ISO It still looks good, even at ISO 400.

I love noise in pictures, but scaling manages to get rid of it :[

shot as 1250 iso no noise reduction.

Moon rise

Ran out to shoot the whale that has been hanging around the last couple of nights nothing spectacular there, my monopod and I were late to the party. But the moon was nice.
F4.4, 1/60 sec, ISO 100 90mm (135mm equivalent 35mm)

C&C Welcome

I like the composition and the selective sharpness. But tell me, was she on her back, and you flipped the photo?
