Would you pick Door Number Seven?
I keep coming back to this picture.
Something about it, that is very captivating.

Congrats on the lens.
Hope to see more close-up wildlife pictures from you now.
EastCoastFlyer That is a pretty sweet shot, perfect timing.
Taken in Kenya in December.

Are they wild , or in a Nature Preserve?
Great shot by the way.
You don't really need to click the shutter at the speed of light to get that shot.
You need to have a tripod and go for a fairly long exposure. I guess you'd also have to guess when lightning would strike as well.

indeed. super solid tripod, remote control for shutter, long exposure time.
plus, you can sort of time the lightning, it was pretty regular anyway!
Here is my first try at an in-flight bird shot. I was able to get about 10ft from it before it flew off. Took about 15 shots while panning with the bird, and this is the best one I think. Taken at Ft.Worth Nature Center.

How much did you crop?
Very Little, the bird was really close. I just cropped the water below 1/2 in
and the overblown sky above 1/2 in.
Thanks. I have had my S7000 for over 2 years now (quite aged for P&S) It really is consistent and easy to handle. Although I originally intended to migrate to a DSLR this little gem has changed my mind. I think I will start looking at a fixed lens cameras with a large sensor. I used to use a film SLR (olympus OM2N) but I bought the Fuji for a trip to Yosemite and I never used the OM2 again. The freedom from carting lenses and other kit was a breath of fresh air.
Oh a new day....a couple of days old but another rainy subject (inevitable here in the UK)

Wow, that's pretty lucky!
Great panning skills, I guess. That's one of the things I need to try out.This photo, plus the chocolates in the photo, are what I'm giving my girlfriend for Valentines day.
We have a long distance relationship, so the flowers are a no-go. It was taken.....2 hours ago. I cropped the photo a bit, added vignetting, and made it a lot more contrasty. It looks too saturated from where I sit, but I'm hoping someone here can tell me if they agree. The original photo didn't come out as well as I had hoped in terms of contrast, but the colours turned out VERY saturated. I had to play with the luminance of the red colour to get it looking decent. It was a pretty miserable day outside in terms of weather and light, so maybe that had something to do with it.
Which one is better?

Was this with a lightning trigger or a manual trigger, a little bit of discipline, and a whole lot of luck?
Thanks! I found the shack by wandering (by bike) the back streets of a new part of town. Korea produces some fine shacks.I keep coming back to this picture.

Really nice bird. Makes me want to get out and find some.
Nice bird, too. There are some similar birds around here, but they seem to be quite shy. I'm definitely going to try my hand at the pan....
