Nice!  I can smell the hay, the grass, the dirt and the little canal.

That is Excellent!  You caught it just right.  Luck was on your side.  And you didn't have to hunker down and WAIT for a train to pass!  ;-)  Beautiful.  I have not been to Banff since I was a ...

#3 is REALLY cool.

Nice!  The 85/1.8 is great.

Good story and nice follow-up. I can relate and I have indeed tried/offered to "slip a bill" to a security guard in order to move into a slightly better position for a photo... at a "restricted ...

Trying to expand my range. Had a little bit of extra time on Monday, so I scouted some positions at SEA. Pushing the envelope a little bit in regard to "access" and finding a suitable location to ...

It was a sunny day, so they probably had the roof open (and the lights on) to benefit the grass. As I was driving home from work on the freeway, it looked kind of cool and I had the camera and ...

tHANK-YOU, pETE! It is most appropriate that you have taken the reins. Your nice shots from Oz provide motivation to get out and shoot. I will try to contribute on a more regular basis and expand ...

The light was kind of weird and it was raining lightly, but I was itching to take a shot.  LOL.  The 80-400G is a versatile lens with good IQ and effective VR for hand-holding.

Nice.  #2 is really cool.  But HOW did you shoot #1?  Must be a good story!  :-)

The B&W is VERY dramatic.  Makes my eyes pop out in a good way!  ;-)

Indeed.  Even "in the city" it is therapeutic (for me) to stroll and roam around the tracks and switchyards.. and also various locations at the harbor/port.  Looking forward to "retirement" so ...

Last two threads have been kind of slow. Hopefully folks are having fun and getting out with their cameras. Always fun at Jazz Alley and the food/drinks are really good, too. I was not sitting in ...

Very cool. Nice scenery. Reminds me a little bit of "The Palouse" over on the eastern side of our state. Your profile says "Sydney" and I looked-up Cootamundra on the map (roughly 180 miles / 300 ...

From Spokane Street

This is 4 frames portrait, stitched and cropped. Original image was 100 MB. This is re-sized down to 50% (dimensions) and jpeg file compressed to 6 MB. Nice pleasant evening to be outside. Nobody ...

LOL!  Thanks.  Very colorful.  I'm thinking... park them on Miami Beach and stick some plastic flamingos in the ground here and there.  Nice pic.

Yes! It is fun. Here are some side-by side images pulled from today's newspaper - Apollo 17 (December 1972) on the left and Artemis/Orion or the right. I like #'s 1, 2, and 5.  Regarding, #5, the ...

I did not have a remote release with me and it was cold outside, so I was in a hurry and I applied too much finger pressure at the start. Wavy lines and a little bit of flare plus not much of a ...
