Yes it is and yes it does. I cropped the first one a bit to make the BMW with sidecar the point of focus and tried to process it (in Silver efex pro) to make it look vintage without losing too much...

Wow, these are all excellent. Very dramatic effect. I think I like the one with the lone sheep in it the best as it adds a point of interest. Care to share some on equipment used and PP technique?

'Pro' zoom lenses are really aimed at wedding photogs and other poor sods who feel obligated to 'get the shot' at a given event. As a hobbyist (as I assume most here are) you have the luxury of...

Nice shots, but I think you need a super telephoto!

I have shot hundreds of birds with my E-5 and never noticed any problem with moire. Here is a recent one similar to...

Took in a WWII reenactment at the Dakota county fairgrounds in Farmington MN. last weekend. The folks put on quite a show, with a mock battle between the Waffen SS and the US army - with some Red...

Hey 'J'! Nice to see you posting here again. These are all very nice and have your trademark look to them. Did you use the 150 f2? I think I like the first two best as the poses strike me as the...

I used the profiles in Silver Efex Pro to replicate Kodak TriX 400 ASA film and various color filters, so I was trying for something that would look like it was taken in the 60s or 70s with classic...

Is there so much as a rumor of 200mm and 300mm primes? Could they really be much smaller then 4/3 lenses of similar FL? As it was my understanding that the lens size advantage for micro 4/3 is...

What? Like...

Very nice images! Thanks for sharing, perhaps you could share some 'Monet' presets for post-processing with the rest of us?

I may not be a Raptor ID ace, but that hawk is neither of the above. A falcon would have patches under the eyes an Eagle would have a much heavier build esp. the beak. I would say a Buteo for sure,...

Well, those who shoot birds with 12 gauges generally refer to them as 'Honkers'. Sherburne is north west of the Twin Cities (~30 miles) and east of St. Cloud.

Some taken on my farm others at the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. A Blue Heron http://i.pbase.com/o6/33/373933/1/143071676.MlbhOiJu.P1018197.jpg Sandhill...

do you think I achieved my goal of a classic 60-70s B&W film look?

Yes they can! and you have submitted some very pleasant evidence to substantiate your case!

Saw all these at a local May Day celebration. Thought they were good material for conversions to a classic 60s-70s B&W...

Sweet!

As the other fellows have pointed out the background on the first shot is a bit distracting. The second shot is nice, but would be even better if you could bring out a little more detail and...

Thank you! It was a wonderful day - well, outside of the fiasco of witnessing my wife attempting to parallel park her car! LOL! You should have got some nice pics after the parade. The light was...
