shots worth sharing Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I guess I'll take a turn at kicking this off. On Friday, I put the canoe on top pf the car and Clara in it and headed up to the Potomac near Sharpsburg. I decided to take the camera, too--albeit with some trepidation. I was in the right frame of mind though: I wasn't after serious photograph or serious fishing or even serious canoing--just a fun day outdoors with Clara. I got it--we had a very good day. I'm happy to report that the camera survived: I didn't shoot a lot and was very, very careful when I took it out of the dry-bag to shoot (and even managed to keep the *outside* of the dry-bag perfectly dry.) I took the 21mm but never used it--just went with the the SMC A 70-210mm. Here's Clara casting over one of the world's finest stretches of smallmouth bass water.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Here's one of the reasons the fishing is so good: the limestone substrate makes the river incredibly fertile.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorus Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dave, that fishing spot makes me cry..... Been really too busy, and I still have a stack of photo’s from the hollidays for postprocessing…. Somehow I have some fresh images to squeeze in. <br> I would like to spend more time on this forum, if I had the time. As it is I spend too much already on the local club (footo.nl), not to mention the pp, and my wife and kids complaining…. <br> Anyway, here’s my share for this week and I hope you like them. <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/rSCYH7.jpg"> <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/l0Z0Qg.jpg"> <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/H8nZa0.jpg"> <br> <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob-c Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dave, I like the picture with Clara fishing and is a perfect example of a great shot ruined by the humidity. I find it so frustrating sometimes that you could have a great shot but the air is so thick. I guess as photographers we need to learn how to deal with it, but I haven't figured it out yet. I have several more night time train shots to post but i'll refrain. I will include one for Miserere since he always wants it in black and white. The other two were shot in Chester County PA.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugger Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dave, Clara's the best dressed fisherperson I've ever seen! Cool shot. O Shiva, the pipe shot is my fave. <P> <img src = "http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7633518-md.jpg"> <P> <b>Statuesque</b><P> <img src = "http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7633513-md.jpg"> <P> <b>A Room With a View</b><P> <img src = "http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7633506-md.jpg"> <P> <b>Vacated</b> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus maurer Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I love the smaller size of the *istD fitted with a prime lens compared to the K10D a lot. The *istD equipped with the Pentax A 24mm did so well as second body at my last wedding shooting. I do miss a few things from the K10D, notably SR and instant histogram review with clipping warning. After all the "sweet stuff" I photographed for money I just had to take something a little differerent this week :-)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert: Train station scene is my favorite. Doug: A room with a view indeed. Great composition & superb colors! Markus: Seems like Wilma's expecting... Cool shot!

hinman Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dave, I love the first shot. I show smaller size but with 2 extra to share. First pictures was taken with Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and the rest are taken with DA 50-200, mounted with the tamron 1.4x TC for testing. <br><br> <p align="center"> Berkeley Kite Festival <br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/2720732815_117431e428.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2721533142_22053344ac.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2721549240_455257d547.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3116/2720713045_c5b1f84778.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/2721519790_99e1f31556.jpg"> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david richhart Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I very much enjoy ALL the black and whites posted so far, and it's been WWWAAAYYY too long since I last used my fly rod and my kite building skills, so it's great to see the pictures. Markus... I love Wilma! <p> I'm posting a couple grab-shots that I quickly edited. We drove all night to get home from the political rallies in Florida (I live in Ohio) It was hot, humid, and bright, so my photographs wound up a little too hot. My polarizer and ND filters had been left safely at home, sitting on the desk :0( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivi Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Wow, great pics already. My favs are the first fishing one, the cathedral (?), and the night station. I've been to Viña del Mar for a daytrip this week and took a picture of the pier. The two others are my first attempts into doing some serious dark sky imaging since I went digital.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garry_young1 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Wow. Great stuff all. Will hold off on commenting for a while. <P> My first is the post typhoon clean up on Monday. This shot also demonstrates the amazing saturation especially in greens with the K20. This was shot in RAW, and I have not touched the colors in PP. <br> <a href=" title="Post Typhoon clean up by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/2728046503_1d1996fa0f.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="Post Typhoon clean up" /></a> <P> The second I took at a buddhist monastery mid-week.<br> <a href=" title="Monastery by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/2728942848_98ba94d722.jpg" width="332" height="500" alt="Monastery" /></a> <P> The third I took this morning on a walk. They were working on the rice fields. Just felt right in a more antique kind of light.<br> <a href=" title="Leveling the rice paddy by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3199/2728118989_a3bc1e2806.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="Leveling the rice paddy" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
