Rod Sorensen Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. We post one image per week 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Rod, thanks for starting the thread this week. The bald eagles pair that nested by the Curtner Elementary School in the San Francisco Bay Area last year and generated some local news are back for this season. They are busy building up their nest again and mating. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 This seagull repeatedly dropped whatever it was carrying and then retrieved it in mid-air. Managed to get four images during one attempt, then lost the gull in the viewfinder. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_bill Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Fred, here's one taken a bit west at El Capitan. Had a chance to photo a full moon over Half Dome that evening but hiked in a mile over 3' deep snow with breakable crust to try for a firefall shot. The moon is a "Folsom, CA moon." Shot not from the usual scrum of photographers copying Rowell's grab shot. I think the composition is better here, sitting in the parking lot under the deck lid of my jeep with ice chest at hand. I like the geometry from this location, 2 right triangles, a parallelogram. It cried out for another shape and since it is an homage to Rowell but also Ansel and Ernst Hass, all instructors at the park, I added a circle, the moon, as a tip of the hat to Ansel's Moon Over Half D ome. creating what Haas wanted to shoot, not new things but old things shot in a new way. I have never seen it shot this way. It is an homage to all Yosemite photographers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
