bobbollinger Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 <p>I had to go to Raleigh, NC for business this week and my 8th floor hotel room east-ward facing balcony proved to be a nice perch for a quick photo or two when I awakened. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htarragon Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 <p>Well, R.T., 12:02AM! Now that's the way it <em>used</em> to be!<br> Once again I went to the NY Botanical Gardens, in the Bronx, which is irresistible in the spring. The sun must have been stronger than I thought, because white blossoms kept blowing out and glare even defeated a polarizer, so I got fewer shots than I thought. The last shot, taken a day later, was in Inwood Hill Park, in Upper Manhattan. A unique second growth forest with some trees over 200 years old.<br> First one</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henkc Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 <p>Plan A for today was to meet some other photographers in an industrial part of the city at 6AM. At 5, my alarm went off, I woke up filled with excitement and promptly went back to sleep and woke up again too late to make the shoot. A while later, I caught the moment when the late autumn sun caught our veggie garden, grabbed the D-FA 100 f2.8 Macro and went to see what's growing. Here are the raw materials for Markus to work from (all shot at f5.6 6 to get a bit of depth of field and still be able to handhold.<br> The best of the summer crop has passed.

george_loepfe Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 <p>John Muir County Park in central Wisconsin memorializes the boyhood home of John Muir. The park is a modest loop trail around a spring feed lake. The trail wanders through prairie, bog, and hardwood forest in a short distance. We have a seasonal campsite nearby, and come back every couple weeks. It’s different every time we visit.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snik75 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 <p>Matt, those are three cool bird shots, but the kestrel is fantastic. Robert, lovely flowers - don't toss your k10 out when the k5 arrives! :-)</p> <p>We hatched some butterflies from caterpillars, and then let then go:</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
