markus maurer Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>Good morning Pentaxians<br> This year must be my most productive and creative photographing wise ever and its getting even better any month. I develop and photograph a series of fresh and delicous green and fruit smoothies for the vegan society of Switzerland, took a vegan easter brunch and baking class and started shooting for the first Swiss vegan cookbook beside my usual snaps. I'm now more or less the official photographer for most vegan events in Zurich and will also photograph the vegan participants at the Zurich marathon soon. I therefore have plenty to show and to choose from for the POTW :-)</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>Just like Markus, I'm having a good year so far. I'm seeing some pretty interesting wildlife around Indianapolis. Today it was a hungry American Bittern, a pretty uncommon bird that is usually very secretive, this one was out in the open. The frog shots I got before I was really setup, so they are not super sharp. Anyway...<img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/15417273-lg.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="330" /><br> Pentax K7 with 400mm f5.6 Sigma for both, Indianapolis, Eagle Creek, IN<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/15417272-lg.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="305" /><br> I saw some loons too in full plumage, but they were too far out for a 400mm lens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htarragon Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>More pictures of spring, even though it has dropped 20 degrees overnight. My first shot is a mystery to me since I have no idea how I achieved the effect seen. I did crop out the white/grey sky for compositional purposes, no other processing involved.<br> #1</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmichel Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>I went on a group primitive camping and hiking trip to Death Valley last week. I decided against -- wisely as this was hard for my old body -- carrying the three pounds of my K10 + lens. So these are from my W90. <br> This is one of a series of narrows in Mosaic Canyon.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snik75 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>Backyard fun. Making "Goop" with my older daughter and her friend. I used a weather-resistant lens, given the excitement level. :-)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>Markus, your food shots get better each week. I am glad to see your progress. Makes me hungry!</p> <p>This bush was blooming during the goop making. 18-55 not that sharp close-up, but gets the profusion of yellow.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshombert Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 <p>@ Douglas & Matt - thanks for the compliments.<br> @ David M. - nice shots of the monument, especially the second. Almost makes me miss living in DC -- almost.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmar_dau Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 <p>Travelling for work last weekend in Canmore Alberta, I looked out of my hotel window and saw a herd of elk. I grabbed my camera and rushed out for a couple of quick shots. Otherwise, I had beautiful scenery, but the light was only good while I was in meetings...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
