Waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. A bit of a hike to

reach. 1/8 second time exposure.

Similar to this one...

Thanks for all your comments. However, this is indeed a montage. If you want to see this in real life, you will have to go to Lompoc, California in early July for the flower fields, and to the Canadian Rockies in September for the mountains! For those I may have offended, my sincere apologies.

It rained, sleeted, and hailed all in the same morning I took this.

My wife held an umbrella over us and the camera.

Really sharp! Nice catch!

Thanks. No, it's not a composite. I did apply a contrast mask in Photoshop, but that was about it.

My favorite of your flower pics. I like the colors, black background, and the large DOF.

Very nice; I like the color contrast between the butterfly (or could it be a moth?) and the leaf. Nice composition, with the square format and the diagonal line.

I thought this was sort of amusing. It looks as if she'll open her

eyes when he is finished. I'm at a loss for a good caption.

Taken early November last year. It was very cold that morning; my

toes were freezing! I think this was about a four-second exposure.

Hasselblad, 50mm Distagon, Kodak E100VS.

I like it, Roger. I think it's an interesting composition. Good DOF; I like that both the logo and her face are in reasonably sharp focus, even though she is farther from the camera. I also like how the window hardware doesn't block her face, right arm, or right hand.

I like this picture. The shutter speed is long enough to capture the motion of the left arm, and short enough to freeze the face and torso. I wonder if it would improve the image to crop the elbow on the right side of the frame and maybe even the un-costumed spectator in the background. However, the un-cropped composition gives the dancer some space to move toward, which is good. Overall exposure and color look fine. Too bad she wasn't smiling, unless her intensity is part of the message.

It had been rainy most of the day, and this was the clearing after

the storm. Hasselblad 500CM, 180mm lens, Velvia. Cropped from the

original transparency.

Great shot, perfect angle. I was also at this game, and what an exciting game it was!

Great color! The donkey looks a little sad!

We had every kind of precipatation you can name while at Yosemite NP -

- rain, snow, and even hail. This shot was taken after a rain

shower; Hasselblad 500CM, 180mm Sonnar, Fuji Velvia, warming filter.

Yes, I used a Gitzo G1220 tripod and Gitzo ball head. I also pre-released (mirror lock-up) and used a shutter release cable. I am in the habit of doing this for most any landscape shot.

Thanks for your comments. I didn't do anything to acheive a tint difference between the foreground and the background; this is how the scene looked. Well, I did boost the saturation of the foreground weeds slightly in Photoshop, but this didn't change the tint.

Hasselblad 500CM, Zeiss 50mm Distagon CF FLE, polarizer, Kodak

E100VS. Not sure what the make and model of the car is. I don't

think it runs any more, though. Maybe a parts car?

Taken after a winter rain shower, just as light was starting to come

from the west. Hasselblad 500CM, 180mm Sonnar, warming filter, Fuji

Velvia.

Wonderful shot. I like the puff of smoke; it adds to the image. I wonder what he's smoking!

Looking west toward the Sierras. This is my second post.

Very sharp. Beautiful.

Taken in the Eastern Sierras.
