nathangardner Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 <p>Happy Thursday from South Carolina. I made my way out of Indiana this week to get a little vacation in Hilton Head Island. I'l be here a week, but the birding is amazing and I wish I could spend more time. I will be back. There's a forest preserve right down the road with some large lakes and the area is just teeming with wildlife. I saw a bald eagle, numerous osprey, great blue herons, anhingas, egrets, gators, and a whole lot more. It was hard to choose a favorite photo to post this week, but I really like this one. The Great Blue Heron was waiting still and patiently when something a few feet to its left caught its attention and it snapped its neck to inspect. Hopefully I'll get some more photos from here this week to put on next week's thread. Let's see all your great photos, maybe even some from vacation.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel_harris Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 <p>The second leg of the Amgen Tour of California bike race passed through Modesto yesterday. I walked the few blocks from my work to the route. When I got there I found the riders were about an hour behind the scheduled window to pass by. I had no idea what to expect, but now had time to think about it. I decided that I would try panning. I had not tried this before so I practiced on the volunteers (not particulary well) riding up and down the route as well as the motocycle cops riding up and down the road. The peloton finally arrived and then a few others following behind and I managed to get this shot.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjoseph7 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 <p>Canon 7D ; Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4; ISO 400; f8 @ 1/160 ; Focal length 45mm, No flash.<br />I was waiting for the Full Moon to make its appearence from behind the clouds when I took this. Unfortunately I was standing in a driveway that led to a parking lot right accross the street. I was adjusting my camera while waiting for the moon to come out, when this huge eighteen wheeler pulled up and the driver said he needed to use the driveway. It was a Sherwin-Williams truck, apparently I was standing in front of a Sherwin-Williams warehouse. Sherwin-Wiliams sells household paint. While the driver was trying to park the truck in the parking lot, the Full Moon had time to come out from behind the clouds and smile at me for a minute or so. Unfortunatelly, I could not take the picture because the truck was blocking the view. Finally after several minutes, the driver finished parking the truck, but by that time the moon was back behind the clouds never to come out again, then it was started to get really dark. Oh well, at leat I was able to get this one and only shot ! It came out a little underexposed, because I had the camera set to Manual.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjmeade Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 <p>I had a couple of days at the Royal Windsor Horse Show last week. I couple of very good days of equestrian photography, but I was quite pleased to get this shot.<br> It's why there's Royal in the horse show title.<br /><a title="Queen by Peter Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2257/5713854427_3636ddd1cb_z.jpg" alt="Queen" width="426" height="640" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerri_albano Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 <p>Our family vacation is not until late summer this year. SO i am using a pic I took this week of my 13 year old Sheba Inu, Snickers. I can't help but fall in love with that sweet face all over again. Snickers has been with our family for just about 11 years now and I wouldn't change a thing. He is sweet, stubborn, tolerant of my boys, and when the mood strikes (albeit less lately with his age) he can be very playful and outright hysterical chasing his tail.<br> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/KerrBear219/PureLove.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbkissel Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 <p>@ Nathan - if you get a chance, Savannah, GA is about an hour's drive (and Charleston as well). In Savannah, go to River Street...lots of restaurants and shops for waterfront entertainment.<br /> @ Lupo - nice lighting on the veggies. Hmmm...about the format - looks a little "squashed". ;-)<br /> @ Mike Dixon - the two violet lights add some interest to this bar shot - nice!<br /> @ Brad - perfect timing. What else can I say?<br /> @ Daniel - good pan!<br /> @ David C - interesting looking bird. Almost looks like a hummingbird.<br /> @ Harry - could you lighten it a bit in post? Nice sky in the photo.<br /> @ Jeff S - not sure how you lit this one, but interesting effect!<br /> @ Karen W - Nicely done handheld! Looks like a frowny face.<br /> @ David H - looks like she and the horse are one. Great form!<br /> @ Andre - sassy looking pose.<br /> @ Ervin - interesting building in HDR<br /> @ Robert C - Still not sure what I'm looking at? Is that an orchid in water? Great lighting!<br /> @ Peter M - Not sure she was ready for you on that one. Good capture!<br /> @ Kerri A - good candid of Snickers. His couch, I see.<br /> @ Hadi - that's real concentration on that face!<br> @ Bruce - nice colors!</p> <p>Wandering around looking for something interesting and came across this fellow...</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
