<p>Great collection, everyone! On my first pass, here are a few that caught my eye:</p>

<p>- Jens' IR lake<br>

- Matthew's little bird<br>

- Mark's DJ (looks more like a comedian!)<br>

- Dallas' mountain vista (I love Switzerland!)<br>

- Dieter's waterfall<br>

- Isaac's woman and child<br>

- Kris H's stone church</p>

<p>I'll go back and give everyone a more thorough look later.</p>

<p>Here's one from a few weeks ago when the color was at its peak.</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday to all, and kind thanks to those who so gently commented my last week's contribution! And such lovely pictures already!<br>

While some of you are just having dessert, I'm past the evening rush hour already. This is the view from my office building's roof terrace tonight at 17.30 - heavy winds make the clouds race, and the sunset promises the first lovely day for weeks tomorrow.</p>

<p>Wonderful vision shown as usual. This shot was taken today at lunch time at a client's office. There is a pond out back with some visiting geese that were nice enough to give me an action shot.</p><div></div>

[peteraitch]

<p>Gary, I have the sense that your "neck of the woods" may just be near Thurstaston Common (as is mine). Very nice shot. You are correct, my contribution this week is of Crosby beach, taken at 3.30 p.m. last Saturday in appalling weather conditions as part of a lens test (the 70-300 ED didn't fare as well as my lovely wider zoom which I used for the shot posted). If anything, the day was even more bleak than it looks here. For the uninitiated, many of the figures in the photograph are really iron statues, part of a permanent static exhibit by the artist Antony Gormley.<br>

<p>Monika, 8 seconds in heavy winds from the office? I'm impressed!

<p>Special favourites:</p>

<ul>

<li>Bogdan Nicolescu - the eye has it!</li>

<li>Hamish Gray - great capture.</li>

<li>Matthew Brennan - lovely, it's a shame we don't see these in the UK.</li>

<li>Matt Laur - what a delightful dog "candid".</li>

<li>Louis Meluso - a stunning portrait.</li>

</ul>

<p>As others have said, this is a phenomenal thread. Thank you all for brightening my day.</p>

<p>It's been a while from my last post. Didn't have time. :( Today, shot from last Saturday, town center of my hometown. Shot with D80, Sigma10-20@17mm, f8, 1/500. Today's thread is really great! So many really good photos....</p><div></div>

[justthings]

<p>d80, 50mm f1.8, exposure f13 at 1/500s, ISO 400. Playing around with RAW processing using Raw Therapee, had to do resize and final sharpening in paintshop pro because I could get RT to size small enough - probably more a limitation of mine than the software though. I am a bit disappointed in the noise that was in the blue sky in this - lots of blotchy-ness that I'm not sure how to fix and am wondering if this is a limitation of the sensor and a challenge of the subject matter.</p><div></div>

<p>Dan, Nice capture of a much photographed local (to me) landmark, Clinton, NJ.</p>

[gary_mcghee]

<p>Peter,<br>

I am near Thurstaston Common, I live in Bromborough. My shot though was taken in Eastham Woods. I was out looking for mushrooms to photograph after all the rain we've been having but most were rotten.<br>

cheers, Gary.</p>

<p>I made it back to comment on a few...sorry about my earlier duplicate posts.</p>

<p>Joseph...I really believe that all the critters that I met that day know very well what they were rescued from. I know that turkeys aren't known for their intelligence, but I think there is an innate wisdom...I felt it...they know. BTW, lovely colors that you captured...so sad to see our vanishing Fall beauty. Bring on the winter!</p>

<p>Hamish...Marvelous! It looks more like "walking on water"</p>

<p>Louis...Great portrait. It looks like an authentic image from the wild west.</p>

<p>Paul...Holy smokes! That is amazing...a real artist at work.</p>

<p>Bill...Lovely capture! Beauty.</p>

<p>Tony...Lovely and peaceful shot. Great tones and shadows.</p>

<p>Dave...Fabulous and frightful! There is a house near us that does it right every year, like you do. Thanks for giving that to your neighborhood.</p>

<p>Raden...And that's a lot! Sweet.</p>

<p>Phil...Great angle and lines.</p>

<p>Dieter...Gorgeous place...no doubt. Great shot.</p>

<p>Isaac...Beautiful and tender portrait.</p>

<p>Janne...Hmmm, for kids, eh?</p>

<p>Tom...Great colors...looks like quite the ride.</p>

<p>Epp...Always interesting contributions from you. Definitely defines the moment.</p>

<p>Thanks, Paul! The mill is fairly local for me, too.</p>

<p>BTW, that's some pumpkin you've got there! Did you get a shot of the finished product?</p>

[tsypkin]

<p>Greetings, everyone. I had no time at all even to look at my camera, let alone make photographs. But the urge to post is here, so I am submitting a photo made at the Chinese New Year Parade in February 2009 in San Francisco</p>

<p>Sorry, it didn't upload. Here is another attempt</p><div></div>
