Indeed, "one to beam up", or down :-) Thanks for sharing these enormous crowds... ;-)

Yeah! ;-) You are absolutely right. Every year thousands of images are taken of the flowering tulips in spring. I just tried to do it different. Another perspective, another kind of DOF, another...

About a week ago, I took my D800E and the old faithful 135mm DC f/2 lens to explore the fields with flowering tulips: And finally, after harvesting, they forget this lonely fellow :-) What...

First of all, like many others noted before, as long as it's an US only shop, there is nothing in it for me. :-(   But just a simple price example from this fresh gearshop. Rokinon/Samyang 24mm T/S...

Yes, :-( it's horrible those huge increases in the price when trying to import some gear from a non-EU country. Here in The Netherlands you pay 21% VAT PLUS importduties. E.g. importduties for...

IrfanView (free) is just a great tool for resizing, changing compression, sharpening, batch jobs, etc, etc.

Thanks for showing! :-) Looks wonderful, especially with the looming storm. Maybe if you waited a little longer, you could have seen the showers pouring down? ;-)

... the colors of tulip bulbs:

Indeed, the blueish grained sky is probably caused by the resizing. I have seen this before when downsizing JPG images.   What's that yellow smiley on the ground? It almost looks like a helicopter...

...red tulips. Shot today. Very bright clear sky, lots of sunshine. These red tulips almost glowed. And when they are finally harvested, sometimes a single flower is left alone :-( ...all alone...

Strange, but weird. :-) I like them, especially #2 and #3. Like Hamada-San said: #3 is special kind of image... But WHAT is it?

But? Did you succeed? FYI: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51233781

Last one with this lens. I turned the Arsat T/S lens entirely back into the 'straight' position, so it acted like a 'normal' 80mm MF lens. 15 handheld shots. Stitched with PTGui Pro. Not bad for...

Nice! But I would love to see more! More on the right, more on the left, more on the foreground. ;-) So please, please, make some more images (e.g. a wider sweep) the next time...

I love this 'complicated' image! I can't stop looking for details. Like a Prius in traffic, snow capped mountains in the background, the rusty parts of some boats, the partially wrapped boat in...

I live nearby, just 10 minutes away on bike. ;-) This is the website from this show: http://www.bataviahavenbotenshow.nl/home.html  (sorry, only in Dutch) It's in fact a sale/resale show for boat...

I tried PS CS6 for stitching. :-( But it took forever...almost 3 times as long as PTGui did for stitching the same source files. And I can't experiment with the projection methods as easy as I can...

From the special effects department. ;-) Shot with tilted lens and HDR processed: or the non-HDR version:
