MattB.Net Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 <p>I prefer just having three photos to see a variety of stuff and it keeps things moving along better than a bunch at once. Four is fine too every now and then if you have one more that needs to get out. <br /> .<br /> My wife is an early riser and I'm not so much. If she sees a good sunrise in the works she wakes me up. :) So she woke me one morning last week for this one. I almost missed it, this was probably the last minute of good color. It was even redder a little earlier when I was on my way to this location (only 2 Miles from home). <br /> K-3 & DA* 16-50<br /> <a title="IMGP1010-Edit by Matt Burt, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3856/15315006706_0f14b7b349_z.jpg" alt="IMGP1010-Edit" width="640" height="426" /></a><br /> .<br /> Friday I was going to be in a photo for a story abou local photographers a writer here is working on but he postponed the shoot. I had already made arrangements with work and home so I figured I'd get out early and do a hike I'd been thinking about. It was a nice morning but very clear so the sunrise was less spectacular. But the scenery sure wasn't bad. <br /> 12 shot pano<br /> K-3 & DA40<br /> <a title="IMGP1145-Edit-Edit by Matt Burt, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2946/15189776357_09b1b476d5_z.jpg" alt="IMGP1145-Edit-Edit" width="640" height="242" /></a><br /> .<br /> I went on a ride with a friend that ended up being a longer one than I was planning for. We finished in the dark and I had to reschedule a shoot I was going to do last night. Oops! At least it was really nice up there.<br /> K-3 & DA 18-135<br /> <a title="IMGP1612-Edit by Matt Burt, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2941/15376281495_dc21919740_z.jpg" alt="IMGP1612-Edit" width="640" height="426" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_marz Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 <p>My wife and I recently returned to Rocky Mt. National Park in Colorado for 9 days so I finally had an opportunity to shoot some, although hiking and fly fishing were the main goals. Getting a bit old and lazy so most images were shot with the Pentax Optio WG II leaving behind my Pentax K10D which I forgot to charge my batteries and forgot to bring my charger.</p> <h3>#1 Golden Aspens</h3><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_marz Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 <p><strong># 3 Bull elk in rut </strong>These male elk really do act very crazy at this time of year. We saw several episodes of the mating season rituals. No fights, but older, larger elk bugling and staring down younger rivals. Mostly by the roadside. We were hiking a high ridge one day and were 200 yards from an elk and his harem. He took a couple of steps toward us so we ended that hike early. More people are gored by elk, moose, and bison in national parks than bear attacks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snik75 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 <p>Great fall colors here, among many other things. Dorus, I love that first building. And Haig, the hummingbird is amazing. Wow. I like the bear, too.</p> <p>Duane, thanks for the kind words about my Q7. I have a few more with it this week. The key, I think, is to use the 02 lens as little as possible. Probably the 08 wide would be a nice step up, but its a little pricey for me yet.</p> <p>First with 06</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 <p>Haig,</p> <p>Please provide some technical info on the hummer. Wow!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi Doug, I have to admit it is a little bit like cheating.. It's a set up with 5 flashes, with a large color photo being used as a background. There is a feeder to the left of the hummer, and basically you shoot when the hummer backs off from the feeder to catch their breath.. One of my friends has 12 feeders in her garden, and all the gear.. It's pretty neat thing to be able to do. I'll post a few more when I get back home later this week.

dorus Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 <p>yes Haig that hummer picture had me baffled there, since I had so much trouble earlier this year, trying to get one properly in focus.<br> Your candid explanation makes it understandable, and now I know how to improve, and it makes me feel able to do.<br> Apart from that I do like that Seine shot !</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
