bob_marz Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well, it's past midnight on the east coast of the US. I don't feel entirely comfortable starting this thread as I am a newbie Pentaxian and a newbie DSLR user, but here goes. I didn't have anything uptil today when I went, yes, fishing. NO fish pics as I have promised more than once before. Actually, this is a don't do as I do kind of thing such as: don't take pics while driving the car. This weekend is the annual Adirondack Ballonfest here in the northeast. I did not attend but as I was driving home form the trout stream the balloons were popping up and here and there and here is my roadside take.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgredline Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 These I shot with my ME SUPER and Generic ISO200 film...This was my first attempt at shooting a proper duck shot with film. Not so good, but I have an idea for next time... <a href="http://s404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/?action=view¤t=87440012.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/87440012.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> - <a href="http://s404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/?action=view¤t=87440013.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/87440013.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> - <a href="http://s404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/?action=view¤t=87440025.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/87440025.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmanamey Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Good duck, Javi. I wonder if he would taste as good.... Bob - don't apologize!! This is one of the best laughs of the week - and it doesn't involve my girls being silly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmanamey Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Oh yeah! I meant to add: love the sunsets. Cool to know about the balloon fest being the reason for the 1st one.

todd_phillips3 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 This seems like the place to confess my ever more frequently manifesting 'photographing while driving' addiction.. and like Javier I guess I will go ahead and double dip into the dualing POW threads.. :-D Taken yesterday with my p&s after work through my sunroof on the freeway while going about 75mph..<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 In honor of the dueling POWs..

duane_mills Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wow - 2 POW threads and both posted within a minute of each other. I didn't know which one to post on so I chose the most recent. Markus - love the bike in BW. Haig - Dueling Pelicans is a keeper, maybe you could photoshop on a mask and one could be Zoro. Nice capture. Ben - Orange fungus? Yummy. Javier - great duck shot, nice ripples in the water. Todd - pretty good for the speed, too bad SR couldn't help. Bob - Absolutely love, love, love the balloon sunset. Simply superb. Here are 2 quick shots from me:<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane_mills Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Here's the second...<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Haig, That is one of the finest Pelican shots I have seen...Bravo... Duane, That small house and warf is absolutely brilliant...Was that shot on film?...No matter how it was done, it is pure ''bravo'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd_phillips3 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 love the balloon sunset, the pelicans, and the flowering field so far.. <br> <br> Duane, yeah the Canon (sd870is) p&s has image stabilization, but my problem is the closer the planes get to being overhead through my sunroof, the more excited I get and it gets exponentially more difficult because I am also trying to speed up or slow down to time it right... Here was another passerby through the sunroof from a few weeks ago.. <br> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tmphillips/2817607945/" title="frontier overhead"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3285/2817607945_4f4eecf39c.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="frontier overhead" /></a> <br> <br> ok and one more silly shot from a few weeks ago, a self portrait of sorts.. (like I said, I am an addict): <br> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tmphillips/2809563523/" title="i can drive 65"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2809563523_2c0575a800.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="i can drive 65" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane_mills Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks Javier - sorry to disappoint but it's digital. K100D Super, Jpeg (sorry not even RAW), Aperture Priority,DA 50-200mm @ 50mm, F8, 1/350 sec. My daughter wanted to edit it while playing in Picasa (it's her editingsoftware of choice - easy for a 9 year old). Emily sharpened it and applied a warming filter because she liked itbetter that way - I agree the light is much better after her filter choice. Todd - the planes are cool but I'd love to see some more shots with that new FA 50mm you've recently startedusing. The last set was pretty darn good.

todd_phillips3 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks Duane! I was just messing around.. I won't post any more of my cheap plane photos.. lol.. I posted this one in the other POW, the only 50mm I have for the week.. <br> <br> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tmphillips/2872850629/" title="hold me closer tiny dancer"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3074/2872850629_b9615d8e30.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="hold me closer tiny dancer" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
