5D mk2 , 24-105 @~35 , f9@1/160 , iso 1000 , polarizer

C&C always welcome.

Dragon Fly at South Coast Botanical Garden

That is real pretty. What lens did you use?

My first post to the photo of the day.

Amazing and simply majestic.

As wild as they come, and not afraid of me. Landed on a small tree perhaps 35 feet away to pose for me

Holy crap that kicks ass! So pretty!

How majestic. I love large birds.

Well I meant abiyng87, but since you mentioned it ... how close were you? It seems like you were fairly close.

It was on a right across the highway in some trees. This is the "cropped" version. I would say it was about 50 yards away or so?

Nice shot, though the light could be better. Wherever did you find him? And how close were you?

Thanks. It's taken in the Glenealo Valley, Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland. The goats are easy to find and - unlike the herd of deer that also lives in the valley - don't shy away from humans, mainly because you'd have to make quite an effort to get to them on the crags and rocks they hang out on. Photo was taken from about 100m distance with a Nikon 70-300mm at 300mm. It's quite heavily cropped.

Northern Sawet

Sawet Owl hangs out after being captured, weighed and tagged. In keeping with the bird theme...

Thanks! I was using the Nikkor 55-200mm lens on a D60.

Stan & Ollie enjoy some discreet ogling...

Truly perfect. Well, maybe I'd be tempted to frame it more tightly and then clone out whatever bit of the upper lamp intruded at the top of the frame. At any rate, you obviously have as much luck conjuring up the perfect femme fatale as you do with with the perfect sheep.

I figured it out....

I finally figured out what i was doing wrong. I havent had a chance to re shoot the car, but hopefully soon. In the mean time, I shot this a few hours ago. Spotted this little guy when i was leaving the house. This is straight from the camera. All i did was open the RAW in PS CS3, and save it as a jpg.

Much Thanks to Maxx and mcjavme for the assistance.

cchart: Is that Tempe Marketplace that I see in your shot?

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. But I took that shot while in San Diego at the UTC mall.

My entry for today:

The quality is not great but I'll fix that soon.

It was taken on a Canon 450D and edited in Photoshop Elements 4

Ams.

This was actually taken back in April but I was bored today so I had a look back through some old images and came across this.

Taken with Nikon D90 + 50mm f/1.8

Very nice image. With my most sincere respect for you and the model, I find it alluring in many ways.

This is the same hawk i posted before, but on flight at a lower level from where I was on a high point. The background is a clear sky above the valley below.

MUCH better

Is there any way you can recompose the picture to take the subject out of the center? Would love to see what you come up with if anything...

 

[Maxxamillian]

There's an (unspoken?) constraint on the Photo of the Day thread that only one photo can be posted...and for the life of me I cannot figure why this would be. (Holdover from the days when memory was more expensive maybe?)

My question is this....is it possible to change the format of this thread, the one that gets (by far) the most hits in a given month, in such a way that it would have more value added to this community? What if it were "Photos of the Day" or "C&C for the day" or something like that.

Thoughts?

Great picture of Lindisfarne Castle.
