dshombert Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 <p>I was at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, NC, last weekend. The campus is on both sides of a local road and there's a footbridge that connects the two parts. I was strolling across with my K5 & 50-200, looking for photo ops and spotted this at the end of one of the girders of the bridge. I almost missed it, it's so small and out of the way. I couldn't get the angle I wanted, the railing was in the way. I just wish I had been there when they put it out. These kids today.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_b._baiamonte Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 <p>I spent this past week in downtown Minneapolis for work. I only took the K-5 with DA40.</p> <p>It rained a bit (but was still quite warm). View from my 18th floor hotel room window, looking out towards the setting sun. K-5, DA40, 1/50 sec. at f/5.0, ISO 250, -2.0EV.<br> <img src="http://frankbaiamonte.smugmug.com/Travel/Minneapolis-MN-062212/i-nSpJnS9/0/L/51FB4834-L.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="530" /></p> <p>There was a pretty good lightning show Monday night (or, more accurately, very early Tuesday morning). I got up a few times to watch it from the window, but couldn't quite catch an actual lightning bolt, as I was shooting handheld and unable to use longer shutter speeds. Another one looking out from the hotel window. K-5, DA40, 1/10 sec. at f/2.8. ISO 1250.<br> <img src="http://frankbaiamonte.smugmug.com/Travel/Minneapolis-MN-062212/i-Qd5cft5/0/L/51FB4785-L.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="530" /></p> <p>It did clear up nicely towards the end of the week. Had a nice dinner here with some friends on Thursday night. K-5, DA40, 1/160 sec. at f/4.0, ISO 800.<br> <img src="http://frankbaiamonte.smugmug.com/Travel/Minneapolis-MN-062212/i-jwLDcsh/0/L/51FB4861-L.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="530" /></p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB.Net Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 <p>Nice work as usual!</p> <p>I've been very busy with both photography and other work. I just spent a week in Taos, NM where my employer is based. I've been there many times but hadn't ever visited the Taos Pueblo, a 1000 year old Native American village that is still in use today.

stemked Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 <p>A couple more from my trip. I'd appreciate some pointers on the first one.<br> I took this Castle photo in Vallandrant France.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/15971813-lg.jpg" alt="" width="472" height="298" /><br> The image was taken with a K7 and Pentax 12-24 (@12mm) Because of my shooting location I had serious tilting. The other problem was a house on the left side. Using photoshop I corrected the tilting, removed the color, upped the contrast a bit, and removed the house, although I didn't do a fantastic job of that Pointers are always appreciated.<br> This second image has to be one of the world's bravest lizards (Beary, France). I was hand holding my K7 with a 50mm macro (F f2.8, f16 I think). As much as all the other lizards took off this guy stayed for quite a while until I flinched a little too much (uncropped image)<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/15980912-lg.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="330" /><br> Finally this last photo from some falls in the Pyrenees drives me a little crazy. The bridge in front makes it look like its crooked; it is not . The bridge is actually at this angle. Still I have this temptation to straighten in photoshop.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/15980972-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbuck19 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 <p>Large purple fringed var shriveri orchid, have always thought it was a hybrid like the keenans and andrews but ran into a botanist while out photographing and showed him these and he told me that they are now considered a seperate species and not a hybrid. I'll just stick to common names and taking the pictures and leave the technical stuff to the scientists.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
