That's exactly the sort of thing i mean. The best shot is sometimes behind you. Or below.

Thanks for solving the mystery.

I think that first may have been the remains of a blossom, but it was the only one in the vicinity.

Number one for me. I would have zoomed in quite a bit to emphasize the relationship of the swimmer and the shadow. but I like the geometry of the shot. I have no preference on 4 & 5. Neither, maybe.

Good work all around. I've heard it said that attitude has a lot to do with cancer recovery and you seem to have a winning attitude. All the best.

Seen on a hike near the beach.

My Pen F had the same two problems. Both easily fixed. To recall a camera which didn't need as much fixing, I'd have to go back to film days. In digital, I've owned Olympus, Fuji, Canon, Nikon and ...

Great use of the blue hour.

Too many times, I find myself drawn to the obvious and often trite subject, forgetting to look for the unusual or a unique perspective. I stand at Tunnel View in Yosemite, take the shot everyone ...

Very nice images of a strange place. I've visited a number of natural history museums which feature stuffed and mounted animals, but seeing them all hanging in this glassed space is surreal. And a ...

We have been "down the shore" (local speak for going to a New Jersey beach) this week. We actually are staying on the bay side. A few snaps... Cape May Point - Most of the beach sand here is ...

Looks good, indeed. That should make a splendid print.

With the preset lens correction in Lightroom, it takes one click to make the fisheye an UWA rectilinear. It stretches the corners, but that's not much of a problem with most images. From what I've ...

So very cool!

Those are actually inspirational. As  in, I'm inspired to go shoot some B&W of vegetation.

I'm very taken with the first one. I like the interplay of the hands of the mannequin and those of the window-shopper.

The very first autumn color is tinging the bushes here, too. It is probably my favorite season for photography.  Nice series.

We were told this one is named Barley.

A nice set of examples. If I didn't have the 7.5 fisheye, I'd be tempted by this lens, but the fisheye (sometimes defined) satisfies my UWA cravings.
