Welcome to the Weekly Image Thread!

This thread will appear every Saturday (GMT). If the thread is nearing full before the next Saturday, I may start a new thread and carry on until it fills or the next Saturday arrives and it is reasonably full in which case I will start another. Confused, so am I! From time to time the start could be delayed if I am unavailable.

Although this Weekly thread is in the Olympus SLR forum, we openly welcome users of all brands and models.

Please:

1. Reply to this post and change the TITLE!
2. Please reply to at least one other contribution, your replies encourage posters!!!
3. If asked, please share your processing techniques or technical details.
4. Please show the EXIF if possible. Please identify the lens used regardless of which camera was used to take the image. This helps people form opinions of the lens used with the body to possibly influence future acquisitions.
5. If special lighting was used to create your image stating what was done may help others.

Thanks for joining and contributing this week.

Thanks, Andrew. Yes, that is the old one. The light is impressive. It certainly impresses my left arm. Rich

 

[JoeNap2]

Beautiful light and scenery... well captured!

 

[JoeNap2]

Monsoonal moisture! Oh bay-bee! Hope there was not dry lightning around!

Beautiful pictures!

 

[JoeNap2]

That's blue! Nice to see that kind of sky. I don't get to see it very often.

Fog rolling in on little cat feet...




SFO about to get fogged in... San Bruno Mountain looking south.




Same fog but looking a little south and west as it blows in from the Pacific.

 

[JoeNap2]

Beautiful Andrew... love the third one with the bee and the last.

 

[JoeNap2]

Wow... they really do pop!

 

[JoeNap2]

Beautiful set... get well soon, and the kitty cat, too!

 

[Rich Z]

Nice set, Andrew. The Oly 100-400 makes nice bokeh. I sure like the pink and yellow lily. And I like the blood dahlias. I thought you said you don't have dahlias, so I was pleasantly surprised by these nice ones.

What else you got that you won't admit to? Rich

 

[JoeNap2]

Love the bird... what is this sunlight stuff?

Been fogged in here for a week.

 

[Rich Z]

It's weird, Craig. I'd like to figure out why those houses with the hills behind blows my mind.....but maybe I don't want to know. Perhaps you are channeling Rod Serling. Rich

 

[JoeNap2]

The top of San Bruno Mountain looking south and east across SF Bay. Fog blew in 30 minutes later.




New generation fisherman




The walkway was lined with cameras with very long lenses... whales running off the coast.




Pelicans follow the whales who are following schools of fish.

 

[Rich Z]

That is a beautiful place to be set loose with a camera, Paul. Nice work. Rich

 

[Rich Z]

The really do, don't they, Joe? I've just started using it and got great results. I may figure out how to pop them more. Rich

 

[Rich Z]

Nice to see you, Roy. I have missed your beautiful, tropical pictures. Rich

 

[Craig from Nevada]

Monsoonal moisture! Oh bay-bee! Hope there was not dry lightning around!

Beautiful pictures!

Thanks, Joe.

No dry lightning. Rain actually fell, not much but some during the course of the day.

Nye County is the Twilight Zone.

That's blue! Nice to see that kind of sky. I don't get to see it very often.

It was a nice Nevada type day yesterday--hot, dry and not a cloud in the sky.

 

[Craig from Nevada]

That's so fun to watch.

Look, there are/were some blue skies out there.

Sunday was a small break from some of the smoke of last week. The rain on Saturday hopefully helped the fire/smoke situation.
