Picture of the Day

[Dromond]

Midwest Airlines flight between Denver and Laramie. I wish it were somewhere cool, but, I was only in a plane.

There's nothing wrong with that. I have a picture framed on my wall at home that a friend took out the window of a plane just like that.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Absolutely. One of the great scenes I saw was Mt. Everest poking out of a sea of clouds while flying to Asia around '96 or so. Only wish I had a camera with me at the time.

Here are a couple from tonight's storm.

Sweet -- I've always wanted to take lightning shots, but never gotten around to even trying it.

Cormorants

Those are awesome, especially the two in flight!

splitter, liking your processing look. The second one of the wildflowers is fantastic.

Just wanted to jump on the bandwagon to say this is awesome. I have a couple places around here where I can find Comorants to shoot and I think I need to try! I remember seeing them when I went to Australia. One of the worlds oldest birds and very widespread.

Thanks, I'd be lying if I said there was no fuzz influence on those at all...

Thanks. The moon was setting and the wind didn't die down until I took this shot. I had to choose between better light on the left trees in earlier exposures and the reflection in this one. If I had to do it over again I'd have stopped down to 4 or 5.6 to get a sharper campfire. For some reason the forum chops off the edge of the fire. This looks better on flickr I think.

I've never used that Tokina, but I'm skeptical how much more sharpness you would have gotten out of that fire - it's off in the corner, 6 stops (? -wild guess) brighter than Mt. Hood, and significantly closer to the lens than your focus point. Stopping down you trade off for skinnier stars and blurrier smoke/haze due to the shutter time increase. Almost seems like trying to set up a GND might be a worthy effort.
