Picture of the Day

[smmokan]

I was hoping to get closer to this herd of buffalo during our snow storm, but the bastards seem to stay away from the road (they're on a fenced-in farm north of Boulder). I managed to get this shot with my 70-300 this morning, it's pretty heavily cropped:

So, question for those of you that post a number of amazing landscapes in this thread... While doing some major cleaning during the quarantine/isolation, I stumbled on my old set of watercolors. I've been playing around with this some, practicing again, tutorials etc. Totally amateur and for myself (not to resell or anything) but would you all be ok with me using some of your photos for inspiration? It doesn't feel right just to take a photo from here without asking first. If something turns out that I really like and feel ok to post/share - I can post/quote the original photo with a photo of the painting too...want to try to paint some of the pups too from the dog thread...

Spanish Pyreness GR11 from last October. The light was super harsh that day and the air was a little hazy. No picture I took is that great, but with some work to balance the light they look okay.

Another bison shot.... I realized that to get the shot I have in mind, I'll need a much longer lens. Maybe the 200-600 is in my future?

This was taken with the Canon 70-300 adapted to my Sony A6400.

This one is better, nice work.

Ridiculous.

BaNosser killing it with the birds. He must be training them to get those shots

Nice light this evening here in VT.

To this day I've only ever 1 pic of an owl looking "happy". These birds are the grinch with wings.
Great shot!

I haven't posted in this thread in a looong time. Here's a few from the last month or so in Scotland

That 2nd one is money ^.

interesting how there is a blanket of snow that appears to be a good 3-4 ft deep on the left.. but almost none on the right... wind blown?

Nailed it! The wind rips out here, we get snowed in/out with some frequency, those were huge drifts leftover from this winter.

My yard badger was nursing a pup in the sun out my window this morning, tough shot with the grass moving and through a window, but cool nonetheless.









That owl/snow goose shot is amazing BaNosser!

Really! What golf course is that
And that might be the fluffiest pup ever.

Another enjoyable weekend in the desert

My backbacking setup the last 3 years have been an old cheap Canon 24 MM 2.8 EF AF prime I bought it off of Ebay for probably more than it was worth. Super light and it pairs so nicely with my old 6D and proof of concept is I have used that one lens more than any other the last three years because it is tiny and it works. Biggest issue is it isn't a great lens by todays standards - Bokeh is meh, AF is hit or miss and colors don't pop, always too cool, and because of that it takes me a long time to process pics - but FKNA I have taken some shots I love with the little beast. So for my birthday I bought myself a Canon refurb 24 mm 2.8 IS USM. Totally different lens but still super light. All the reviews are glowing. Pretty stoked.

Another Covid twighlight zone lightroom export from the old 24. I hadn't even looked at this one till tonight.



If anybody wants the old 24 ping me. It needs a good home. Maybe $50 shipped obo? The thing is tiny.

Nice picture and composition.

Nice picture and composition.

Thank you. This one is in the same zone. It's not as clean in any way. The comp is off, there's motion blur in the trees, and the lighting isn't transcendent.
But it was fun to walk the pup, especially during the 'rona, and find new takes on the same ol' same ol'. I now have a few ideas I'm visualizing when conditions align.

[Timberridge]

It's amazing how many different looking shots you can get out of a great location like that just by varying the time of day or walking 30 ft one way. You absolutely nailed the other one.
