Are you @MacRy in disguise?
[doublepost=1506967527][/doublepost]
Lol. As if we would milk it on here!
Are you @MacRy in disguise?
lol, i'm not too bad, i don't like them but they don't scare me as much as MacRy.
Mrs Rex and MacRy have a lot in common though. i didn't realise how fast she could move until she spotted a tiny (<3cm) spider in the lounge.
There is no way of reasoning with her either, as i'm sure MacRy will agree, they know the spiders won't hurt them but...
To change the direction from a deadly arachnid to a deadly amphibian.
I had never seen this before and found it interesting, luckily i had my camera near.
Yeah , it's a pretty nice specimen ... to get an idea of size , the small space between pavers is around 5/8" (16mm).Found it wandering along a pathway at the lodge where I was staying . Wanted to get it to crawl over my arm , but it didn't want any part of it . I've had smaller ones on my arms before and it's kinda a strange feeling , almost more like something mechanical rather than biological on you.
For some reason there seemed to be a lot at this place this time I was there . A couple of years earlier , I didn't see any .

P1030443Greg, was this an HDR merge, the exif shows it as being taken 2 stops under exposed?It was a very nice sunrise looking out the office window this morning.
Thanks, and I probably shouldn't have mentioned the clown thing, we'll probably be inundated with images of them now, and I'll be doing a Macry, looking at the forum here from the other side of the room, operating the mouse with a broom!
Thanks, and I'll be quick to scroll past any images of clowns that may appear on here!
I've just gotten a mobile phone holding device and a spare arca-swiss plate to mount it on, so I can use my tripod for the 8 plus too.I know we’re not allowed to share more than one picture a day in the thread but while trying out some long exposure shots I managed to grab this one with the iPhone 8 Plus, couldn’t not share.
Comments are always welcome.
I’m on a personal mission to prove that skill is more important than having the most expensive camera.
May I suggest that you look at getting a third party camera app for your 8 plus? I recommend one called PureShot, it allows full control of every aspect of the camera and also allows you to save the images as RAW files. I use the spot metering in it, placing that where I want it on the image and also have the blinkies turned on, so I can see in real-time where any overexposed bits are. It has live histograms too. It offers basically the same controls as a DSLR, apart from aperture control, as that's fixed on mobile phones. For the couple of buck$ that it costs, it's the best app I have on my iPhone!
Molly, I'll suggest you get the PureShot camera app too. It will allow you much more control over your iPhone images and the ability to save your images as RAW files, I think from the 6S onwards, otherwise you can save your images as TIFF's on the older iPhones, which are substantially better than jpeg's. I have mine set up so that I can lock the focus and exposure and the image is then taken when I remove my finger from the screen, rather than having to try and manipulate my finger to reach the shutter button and possibly move the camera slightly in doing this.It's an interesting (and never settled) conversation as to whether or not gear or the photographer is more important. I am in the camp that they are equally important. All gear has its limits, and sometimes you just don't have the right tool for the job. The photo I submitted today of the clouds and traffic is one that I have tried before to take with my phone, but it has never worked because the phone does not allow me to manually override focus, or if it does, then it just jumps again for a moving subject (maybe I don't know how to use my phone camera correctly??).
On the other hand, if a phone is the only camera available, then you certainly must make the best of it! Is the most expensive camera always needed? No of course not, plenty of us here use modest dSLRs (in comparison to the medium format cameras, etc.). But it's undisputable that a dSLR, even entry level, has advantages over a phone camera.
But developing skills will make any camera work better.
I like the full view from the back yard better. We've been there a few times and crisp, clear Fall weekends are my favorite, but nice capture of the colors.
The scale of these places is pretty amazing, plus a couple of them are still privately owned.
Eager to get back up there for a weekend.
Is this the same photo as the one submitted yesterday?
Sorry if I'm wrong
Cheers
Hugh
My bad !
Peace
So you moved from stunning bear to stunning puffin pictures?Puffin landing
My bad !

No bad.... Just proof we are paying attention friend...
[doublepost=1507012203][/doublepost]
Love it. Love the use of DoF and the mottled light...

Seriously, you need to go see if Nat Geo wants these images. They are amazingly good!

Lmao... So funny... I am not normally bothered by spiders but these ugly critters on here are starting to make my skin crawl... Urgh!
I see they are remaking Stephen King's IT? Guess you wont be checking that out?
I think I'll pass on that one, reading the book gave me nightmares for weeks as a teen.

I like this except prefer the version without the alien space helmet at the front.
I worked out why I like it. It reminds me of Adobe Church by Brett Weston...
I like this one as a square crop, just above the all-seeing-eye!

Thanks very much guys.
I was in Newfoundland, Canada a couple years ago and enjoyed photographing Puffins from 100 metres away...I had seriously outrageous fun photographing them from 1 metre away in Iceland.
Puffins have an interesting and social personality. It's not hard to understand why they're affectionately known as the clowns of the sea.

Cheers Ken, I had to look that one up - see what you mean though. I've a few church images that are actually more akin to Adobe Church that I'll post in the next couple of days.
Sorry for double post but like this?
Don't mention clowns....

From my weekend trip to Paris earlier this month.

It me again... really like the detail in this image. There are such wonderful things on every corner in Paris arent there?
I would just maybe pull back the strength of the hdr filter a tad.
