That's always nice.

You handled the back-light exceptionally well here.

That is a gorgeous shot - the colors are beautifully rendered and the relatively shallow dof almost turns the landscape into a painting, putting the focus on the bird of prey.

Wonderful shot Dave. The pano crop works really well for it too.

dcstep · 03-04-2015, 11:07 AM

Thanks Garen and Ed.

I'm a big fan of 2:1 and 5:2 crops in the right situations. I also do a lot of 1:1 (square) crops. This is such an easy thing to do, but so many people simply fail to consider it. My first camera was a 44x44mm TLR, so I got very used to the square crop and longed for the pano crop. Now we've got it all with a click or two. Ain't digital photography grand?!

Speaking of pano-crop, here's the flight shot I got from watching the harrier for 45-minutes. Unfortunately, the light crapped out about two-minutes before he (a young grey ghost) took off:

Sweet clouds and sunlight.

dcstep · 03-05-2015, 12:03 AM

Sold my 500mm f/4L IS Series I today.

Itsed65 · 03-05-2015, 12:55 AM

That didn't take long. But not surprising as its a great piece of glass.

BrokenVert · 03-05-2015, 09:41 PM

I finally saw an animal in the wild!

One of the fans at this weekend's 100 Acre Wood rally went full native with the cold.

Hawk on Pole by lennycarl08, on Flickr

NEFARIOUS · 03-07-2015, 01:16 AM

I was bored then since the fog was too thick to see anything, and I'm bored enough to now showcase some of my old stuff (as in, back when I actually had a decent camera on hand).
