Rambolin,

The Miss Abuno pagent was in Lapu Lapu City, Cebu Philippines - held in conjunction with their annual Sinulog Festival (their 'Mardi Gras') in late January.

There are a couple of other shots of the semi finalists on page 2 of my pbase gallery:

The event organizers gave me the run-of-the-house - but I actually had to get up onto the stagefront thruster to get the best pics with the FL20 flash I had with me.

Regards,
PJ

There are no limits, only challenges - me (unless someone else said it first).

Photography is like a good book, you become absorbed by the image, not the syntax and sentence structure - me (unless someone said this first as well).

Bill,

I really enjoy that shot as well. Isn't it amazing the way that a camera can force you to see the world - in a way that I would never have looked at it if I had not owned one. The E-10 has been quite a nice partner these past few years...

Thanks for looking!
Cheers,

Bill

Zion National Park in Utah a couple of weeks back:











Bad weather is a rarity there - but we got rain, third-of-an-inch hail, and snow. Driving alone was an adventure!
 
What a little darlin' Oz. I'm thinking he might be a charlet (sp?) There was one on a ranch I worked at many years ago and looks similar. What do you suppose is the story with his er...ouch!.

I think the color and tone in this conversion is very good.

Not bad Boris. Your first 3 images are the kind that give most of us trouble getting righ. Really have to trade off exposure for the sky or the land. Auto exposure lock is a good tool I use at times to meter what I want to expose for and then recompose.

Looks like quite a storm blew in while you were there.

Thanks Mike.

I wondered about the ear myself. The only thing that comes to mind is that it may have been attacked by a fox when born, as there was one hunting in the same paddock each night. Or maybe just a result of too rough play between the three calves that were there.

Thank you Mike! Yes, the contrast between the cliffs and the sky was very strong. The clouds were very dramatic, but so was the ground - it was an exercise in deciding which to lose. I learned a lot on that trip.

About the storms - they were coming in every hour or so. How's that: trying to shoot through a car window, and feeling the impacts of hail hitting the lens :) (The lenses and the camera are fine, though there's some damage on the UV filter's coating).

Took this one on Tuesday. The national park is literally at my back fence, but this particular part, Somersby Falls is a 10 minute drive.

It was drizzly & a bit misty, perfect waterfall weather, but for this one I boosted the mist affect with a couple of deep breaths on the front element. Took 2 pics with the "fog filter". The first one with more fog looks too much, but I like how this one has come out.


I'll give it a start.

Nice mood and back to traditional methods; though you can get very similar effects with the Optik Verve plug-in and retain just that bit of sharpness if you want.

Cheers
