Photo of the Day May 2018

I'm not surprised they cheered if they all came away with a shot this good.
I'd have been over the moon!

Don't know how often you get nice light like that so I sure hope they did.

Another absolute belter Peter. Really great.

Absolutely stunning. What a shot!

Wow, just wow!!!

Thank you all...much appreciated.

Same place as Monday's pic , but taken at 12mm .Think I like the other one better , but posted this for the gardeners out there . The wisterias that are in flower were planted in 1939 and have grown to colossal size . There's 2 of them , flanking the sides of the courtyard entrance . One's visible here , it's the 'tree trunk' in the left center rear . Looks like something you'd see at Angkor , or some abandoned Mayan city .

5D2 , 12-24 Sigma @ 12 , f11@1/90 , ISO 400

Among dozens of butterflies flitting about, this one stayed still long enough for me to capture it with my camera.

Assuming you’ve still got enough hair.....

Really beautiful Mark. A different (for seascape) and very nice colour palette in this shot.

Yet another day and yet another dandelion.

For this one I used an off camera flash on the ground near the flower with a Rogue Flashbender soft box attached to it at roughly 45 degrees off axis. The combination of it with a shutter speed of 1/200 sec let me light the flower with the background being darker while still creating soft shadows on the flower.

cheap-o lens on expensive camera



evidently the minolta 35-105 is having a hard time keeping up with the resolution monstrosity this camera sports. fun result though. harsh bokeh, borderline sharpness if at all, vintage-y color rendition. I cannot see any CA though despite the high contrast.
