<p>This small copse of young redwood trees stood out (as if for a pose) on my hike Saturday morning back up to Pantoll from Stinson Beach; was a record-breaking heat weekend in the area, temperatures easily over 100F degrees in the sun.<br>

Location: Steep Ravine Trail along Webb Creek -- just a 1/4 mile above the Dipsea Trail.</p><div></div>

<p>From a children's music festival I shot in San Francisco this weekend, this band is called the Sippy Cups. I don't think I have ever seen a tiger-print sitar before...<br>

<p>I've been chasing Pileated Woodpeckers for the past couple of weeks and am still emptyhanded. When I get one, I'll post it on the following POW, but since that is the only thing I've been doing lately I don't have any new photos, so here's an older one. Since fall is approaching, here's a pic from last fall. Its a little before peak color :( at Red River Gorge in KY. Its a 3 image stitch.</p><div></div>

<p>There are so many good photos already. They seem to be getting better with each passing week. My favorites so far are:</p>

<p>Josh Root - You make such ordinary things look so beautiful<br />Scott Ferris - Very nice portrait, makes you want to reach out and ask the subject his story<br />Karen Wiltshire - Very creative. It's raining by me today. You photo makes me want to go out and shoot some cobwebs.<br />Mike Stemberg - I love the dramatic lighting in your photo.<br />Mike Dixon - Love the bokeh and the rim light effect you got around the subject's face</p>

<p>I had gone out to shoot a caterpillar my son had noticed in the front yard. It was beautiful, but so fast in its movement that I could not get a single good shot. I was quite disappointing, but developed a new appreciation for all the nature photographers out there, who turn out such beautiful images of living creatures.</p>

<p>Anyway, lazy me had already spend a bit of effort in getting off my computer, getting my camera out, changing lenses, climbing out of my hole in the basement, walking up to the front yard, setting up the tripod etc. I was bent upon shooting something and was lucky to run across a willing subject. Here is what I shot, a petunia in my front yard, side lit by harsh sun.</p>

<p>I liked how bright red this beacon was. Still not sure about the framing.</p><div></div>

<p>I wanted to take just a casual shot of the crowded Metro, which had just emptied about 1/4 on the previous station. As I raised the camera to the eye, the two women in the lower left of the frame turned away, not wanting to have their faces photographed. The young man with the prayer cap, however, kept looking back with a steady, inquisitive look. He turned what would otherwise have been just a recording of the crowded train, into a better image, for me at least!</p>

I was doing a shoot on a helipad this weekend and happened to spot this 'frame' of another tall building in downtown Nairobi. Gotta love that Slik ;-)<div></div>

[strohlm]

<p>With our area being somewhat between seasons (the birds are gone and the leaves are still green), I haven't been able to take any shots this week that I consider worty of posting. That being said, here is an offering of a migration shot taken during the first week of september here in Allentown. Hopefully I fare better with subject material in the coming week, Mark</p><div></div>

<p>Canon 50D with Canon 100-300 f4.5-5.6. 300mm at 7.1, 1/6 of a second ISO 400, using LiveView focus. <br>

I had spent a couple of hours stalking the local wetlands looking for herons and egrets, and came up empty. Driving home as the sun was setting, I spotted this heron on the rock at this pond in a nearby subdivision. I set up my tripod, and got several shots before he finally was spooked away. This was my first shot and favorite.</p><div></div>

<p>I was doing a little exploring along the fence line of a new development when I came across this wild flower. I had the lens set at F4.</p>

<p>This was at the Ironstone Winery Concours D'elegance here in California this last weekend. I love the bright red color of this car. 1956 Chrysler 300B. 5D MK2 Sigma <a href="mailto:24-70@34mm">24-70@34mm</a> f13 1/200</p><div></div>

<p>Here is my photo for today</p><div></div>

[dan_bloch]

<p>I walk by the Time Warner building in Columbus Circle a couple times a day. I frequently admire how the tall buildings look against a cloudy sky, and will often take a picture of it, but I rarely like the result. Not too fond of this one either but its all I had on my camera for todays post.</p><div></div>

[dan_bloch]

<p>YAY I finally got the size right!</p>

[davidstormphotography]

I got a shot of the moon rising. I like the way the edges of the clouds were lit up with light.I didnt really make any color adjustments or photoshop anything..its pretty much raw, out of the camera.<div></div>

[roamingstudio]

<p>As someone who lurks for a long time I thought I would share a photo from a recent hike in the Griena Plane in Switzerland. Canon 20D, with Tokina 12-24. 1/250, F6.3 (apparently). Iso 200, +0.3 step. No cropping, or conversion (yet) from the CR2 (i.e. this was the resize of the camera shot JPG)<br>

<p>I really like Joshua Tree NP, it is such a surreal place!</p>

<p>I had the opportunity to spend a day there last winter and came across this blooming Yucca during a short hike. The contrast of this blooming plant and the desolation of the rock vista and cactus in the background provides an image I find intriguing.</p><div></div>
