David_Cavan Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 <p>Spring is starting to show here in northern Virginia - the first daffodils turned into a still-life experiment, and we decided we liked this version the best.</p><div></div> Dave Cavan https://davecavanphotographics.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Keefer Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 <p>Well all done with supper and cleaned up, back to the photos. <br /><br />Pete, it look like summer, I see green, a welcome sight. I hear we may be in the 50's or 60's tomorrow here in PA.<br />Love the shot, on my monitor the bird just pops.<br /><br />Alex, sad image skillfully captured in a photojournalistic reality check. <br /><br />Massimo, were you using a filter?<br /><br />Danny, nice and great news on a new lens. Sorry, too late to make me hungry, Lupo's shot forced me to make super, but now I am thinking pie and coffee for dessert. lol.<br /><br />Mark K, I see you are working on next years Valentine card. ;)<br /><br />Mark A.K. Clark Kent's glasses?<br /><br />Bruce, perfect caption for a great shot.<br /><br />Robert C. Wow, great candle light shot. Makes me want to grab my 7D and get some candles. Nice shot.<br /><br />Laura, I hoped I'd find this in your portfolio larger. ;)<br /><br />Dan P. self potrait? I like the spacial feel and angles, great composition.<br /><br /><br />Randall, love the car shot, tone, contrast and lines on that curve, I couldn't imagine a more perfect position for this shot.<br /><br /><br />C Warren, Happy Easter. :)<br /><br />Thom, nice, love the color.<br /><br />Robert M. - does he see Godzilla?<br /><br />John, I see your growing season has already started.. Enjoy.<br /><br />Randy, spring will be here soon.<br /><br />Ken looks like that fence has been there for a while.<br /><br />Robert L. wow looks like Mt. St. Helens has recovered, thinking back at the images after the eruption many years back.<br /><br />K.D, do they play a nice as they look. Love guitars,<br /><br />Toralf, magical quality, simple, the stone is a nice touch.<br /><br /><br />John, it could be an image from Lancaster PA, about 45 miles from me.<br /><br /><br />Louis, how do you like that Tamron with the 7D.<br /><br /><br />Marcel, the last shot is the coveted bumper shot. Nice shot.<br /><br />Jessadang - I haven't played with cross processing techniques, at least not intentionally. One of the reasons I love PN, always cool seeing what other photogoraphers are doing.<br /><br />Rich T. - very nice. Great detail.<br /><br />Dean - cool.<br /><br />Gene, every once in a while we get some coming through the nieghborhood, maybe one day I will have my camera when i see them.<br /><br />Adrian, great old coin. <br /><br />Martin, very cool, no pun intended.<br /><br />Andy, great close up and detail.<br />This week is like a class photography seeing so many great shots. Inspiring stuff.<br /><br />Well, I'm going to have to dig through my latest shots and try to find something worthy of this weeks Canon gallery.<br /><br /></p> Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_smith110 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 <p>A little late this week.</p> <p>Toralf- Incredible photo. The composition is spot on and the DOF is perfect.<br /> Richard- Astounding detail and color on the butterfly. Well done.</p> <p><em>Three wishes</em><br /> 40D, FDn 50/3.5 macro, handheld<br /> <img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7059/6799096640_b0c2222e98_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Weishaupt Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Mark K, I've put the full size version in my portfolio. I also included the source photo, at full size. If you have suggestions for improvement, please let me know. I can think of a few things and I've played with the image a bit. Nice to see the shot of New Hope as we'll be down there tomorrow. I have to remember that bakery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathangardner Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 No bleach, those birds are just that incredibly beautiful. It could also be that it's hard not to blow the highlights without the rest of the scene being dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Keefer Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 <p>Scott, I don't think I've ever seen a better looking sewer. :)<br /><br />Laura W. - Cool, always like to see the detal and shot blow up full screen. I like how they caught the light, sun looks low on the horizon.<br /><br />Massimo - I catch lens flare all the time with my filters, sometimes it cool, other times not so much, since I am into photography I catch myself looking at all photos for all the details, even when I watch movies and TV shows, appreciating the light, composition, angles, tones, contrast when they get it all so perfect and yeah the lens flare too. lol. Those filters are great for protecting the lens, cheap insurance. :)<br /><br />Nathan G - wasn't meaning to insinuate it was photoshop whitening. :) They just looked amazing for any bird living in mud and water to look that sparkling. lol. I have had a couple white cats over the years and we also had ducks when I was a kid growing up in Central PA. I know exposure in that situation really compliments the birds. Great presentation, I really like the shot.<br /><br /><br />Great shots this week, everyone!</p> Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob-c Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 <p>Thanks Randall, Ken and Mark for the comments on the portrait. I was very lucky she stood still for a few seconds.<br> Laura - two weeks in a row with the bird trilogy? Can't wait for next Thursday.<br> Robert L. B+W, excellent, spot on!<br> Toralf - beautiful, simple yet expressive.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
