can all take a break and share our favorite pic we've shot in the
past week or two??
Here's mine:
Shot with an antique D60 through a Sigma 15-30.
1/10 sec at f/22. I didn't think to use a filter, since it was
raining. Full gallery:

--Using f/22 will make your pics a lot softer than they need to be;
you might be better off to use a polarizer ( or neutral density
filter ) and f/11 to f/16... That will get you the same exposure
time to blur the water, but far less diffraction to soften your
image.
Could you be a little more specific...? I didn't notice any hiking
when I went by Lake McDonald, except by the shore:
Forget not sharp enough!! This photo has FANTASTIC atmosphere.
The softness in the air really helps it. I'm very impressed,
anyway...

the first is about 7 miles from my home in western NC--we are in the foothills of the Blue Ridge/Appalachian chain. This is Baker's Mt. which you can see from almost every place around here--and higher mountains in the background depending upon where you are. For my 'real' home (a small non-working farm now) here is a continuing gallery of it

entitled to another.)

What is it they say about 'great minds'??? LOL (or folks looking for a subject)75--300 non IS (10 yr old lens).
By the cannons at Fort Ross on the Coast of Northern California:
they are difficult insects to shoot. I need to look this one up in my insect book--we have 3 species (well, I guess I shouldn't count damsel flies) hovering over our small pond. I need to take the time to capture them on tripod--and maybe even with my 1.4x converter. My shots are generally further away--and usually with so much pond background due to our garden being VERY 'green' with so much rain LOL. I love the focus on this--with all the background being very blurred--and quite light allowing the dragonfly to stand out so nicely.
Shot with Canon 10D & 70-200mm 2.8 IS lens at Mud Wren Marsh Park
