I think you mean a sheepwalk.
I'm impressed that the sheep line up so politely for the chance to audition. If you hadn't posted the photo, I never would have believed it.

Sometimes it gets a bit rowdy...

LOL !!I'm laughing too hard to even venture a retort!
Hi Keebler, thank you for the compliments! If you pm me an e-mail and a the resolution you would need for your desktop I'll definitely send it to you. For this shot I used Canon's 180 L series Macro, with f/10 and shutter 1/250, ISO 400. I also had their 580 EX II flash set up on a stand to the side, shooting through an umbrella.
Awesome! An Argiope aurantia, also known as a garden orb weaver or a writing spider.
Thanks dllavaneras! I was wondering what type the little guy was
.
thr33face I like how you spotted the honey comb

edit: I know one picture per day...but i've been working on it a bit more and would like to know which version you guys like better (click to go to flickr page)

#1. Its very cool. How did you do that, with the background being so white, and also you have a reflection on the bottom. Very well done

thank you.
The white version does it for me. The light just looks smoother and nicer (to me)
Wonderfully smooth.
Even though the colour and mist make it appear as if it was a very calm place, the water and especially the birds give me the "i am right there" feeling. I can feel a breeze, smell the ocean water, hear waves clashing and the distant screams of birds.
I am right there in a rain coat, throwing stones into the water.
The birds are wonderful as a size reference, and because one does not see them at first glance the scene is suddenly "growing" when one spots them.
Fail
My friend with his new wakeboard / boat, trying to do a 360. Nothing special, but I laughed watching it so I thought I'd share it. I could tell as he was going into it that all he was thinking was "spin spin spin spin spin spin spin" and not about, you know, holding onto the rope.

That's what she said....sorry been watching season 2 of The Office.
Nice pics Doylem, Carlos, PKenneth. keep them coming
That picture is great because it looks like it's from the 60's or something...except for the guy with the iPod.
Thank you for all your commentsthr33face, mondesi43 and marclapierre13
marclapierre13, rather than telling how how I did, how about I'll show you where I learned how to do 90% of that shot. Check out the "White Seemless" tutorials here (4 parts, plus a video where he answers questions and shows you some of the post processing).
and mine for today...(also learned from the link provided above)
I know I'm wearing the same sweater as yesterday...but I don't feel like doing my hair all nice for the photo after a long day of school...so hood it is

I wasn't asking how to do it. I just think it's great work. I'm way too ADD to anything close to what you did in that shot. I stick to simple pics of my wife, my 1 month old boy, and our animals.
My guess is, he put his Nikon D200 on a tripod, set it to ISO 100, set the aperture to f20 (the near maximum that his lens allowed in order to use as long shutter speed as possible to achieve the water motion blur) and shutter speed to half a second, all in manual exposure mode with spot metering, focused his 70mm prime lens to the leaf and pushed the trigger on his remote cable shutter release.
He's good.
Yes, right in every respect (except it was an 18-70 lens); it's like you were standing beside me...
I just saw a leaf in this little waterfall (bottom left, in thumbnail below) that was stuck so securely to a rock, underwater, that the flow of water wasn't shifting it. Mystery solved...
Thanks guys. The leaf was the mysterious part, didn't realize it was underwater.
Fantastic photo.Right...i meant to reply to marclapierre13
