I nearly killed myself getting this shot. The ice sorta wasn't as solid as I thought. Woops.

 

[freebooter]

my gosh, that is amazing. maybe it's just my screen but is that an HDR?

Thanks!
No, it isn't an HDR. I just tortured the contrast and highlight/shadows in PS.

Thanks Steamie and Busch! I've been busy covering events for absoluteaddiction.com about 5 nights a week, but I try to get some shots of Atlanta when I can. Most of my shots are taken after I leave a gig. Here's one from tonight, waiting for the security guard to open up the door to the garage so I could get my car.

Steamie - thanks, quite like that one too, i have no idea how he could see through all that fur!!!

That bull looks so cool! I hope you arn't going to eat it

Lol no it was at a open farm in a park near by, they are there mainly for the kiddies etc and familys when they visit, there were some older ones so looks like they will stay off peoples plates

Heres mine for today, taken same place as the bull....
This little deer looked quite sad!

Freeride I

I haven't posted in ages due to a photographic mental block, but I've been out a couple of times recently so I thought I'd share the fruits of my labour.

Taken 25/03/07 in Alpe d'Huez, France. The rider is Jacob Frandsen.

Nice photos. I think my favorite is the seagull.

Nice photos. I think my favorite is the seagull.

Thanks, I like that one, too. He seemed to know he was the center of attention. Several photographers had lined up with me on the bank, and he seemed to have fun diving and circling back in front of us as if he was actually posing!

I hate customs

This is a weird one. We landed at Skavsta airport, Sweden, and the light of
the setting sun was to die for. I grabbed my camera to start shooting like
a maniac, but was immediately stopped by people from customs: Don't stop! Walk!. I managed to take just a few, all unsharp. But the light...

Not the president's helicopter, but nice pictures. ;)[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I don't know who was in that chopper, but there were three of them, about a minute or so apart, going the same direction. That IS a security measure they use for the POTUS, and a bystander that morning mentioned that he often goes to the Pentagon that way for briefings.

Three choppers, each out of sight of the others, so that a shooter doesn't know which one carries the payload - if he shoots one, the others split - FAST. Only a thirty percent chance of getting the real one.

Could have been anyone, but I imagine it takes some clearance to move three choppers over the mall these days...

@freebooter, two trees.

You caught the water just right - enough blur to show action, but not so much that it becomes ONLY blur - the action is also stopped, visually.

Looks very good - nice composition, too. Good example of the rule of thirds... (edit: The rainbow is a nice addition along the bottom, too!)
