MikeP, I went through your whole sumo series. The pageantry is so cool.

Walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago I saw low clouds coming in and snapped this shot. Processed it 3 ways (see Flickr). While it looks like I'm high, I am on the street (had to clone out a traffic signal). Used my then new 70-200...was waiting for the D800.



D80 with 70-200 at 180, 1/160 @ f/5.6, ISO 100 Hand Held.

Some really amazing shots in here. Love those buildings, @tganiats.

Here is another self-portrait, also the "before" photo documenting a beard-trim. I definitely subscribe to the idea that you are your own best model.

From Harrys

D3000, Sigma 18-200, SB-700
1/125s, f/5.6, 44mm, ISO 200.

I had the camera on a full size tripod set up in the bathtub and the flash on a gorillapod sitting on the toilet. My cats found the whole thing very strange indeed.

Sure, @jjdarling....we all know it's really the cats that took the picture!

That's a pretty big tree, Benji ! What kind is it, and where is it ? I'm a serious "tree guy"....love to look at them, photograph them, climb them, and I'm always on the "look out" for an extraordinarily big one; I've had my eye on this big old sugar maple for about 8 years now.....I'm pretty sure it's the biggest tree in our county, but I won't know for sure till I check out all the rest of them; ( I think it may be even bigger in girth than yours.

I did not climb on a tree for the most recent picture. It is taken from a hiking path on the north of Kauai. The path goes along the edge of these cliffs and these are the views you have. The plants that frame the picture are no more than 10 ft tall. The path is called Kalalau trail. Hiking that trail is one of those things one should have done "before you kick the bucket".

My share for today.....

Not too great, but it's the best small bird shot I've gotten so far with the 70-300 VR. For my current skill set, I'll take it.

Well I've been on a little trip to Iceland - WOW, what a country for landscape photography. I will definitely be going back for a dedicated photo trip some day, and definitely in winter.

Welcome Arjen.

Postman, Iceland is great! Thanks for the image.
One of the neat features of Death Valley is sand dunes. Just before and just after the sun rises or sun sets provides one with incredible lighting that changes fast. Here, the Mesquite sand dunes shown in soft pre-sun rise light:

Iceland is amazing, yes! Some more waterfall action from the land of fire and ice.
