I am your "Hit Me" starter for this month. After the super Patterns in Nature over the weekend I know you must have more "best shots". "Best Shot" may be related to the challenges of the past week - nature, portraits, or move your body - or something totally different. So "Hit Me' and "Hit the rest of the UHHers" with your best.

Here are some of mine combining ground view, nature (storm moving in), use of light, and an attempt to show scale/perspective. These were taken under threat of severe thunderstorms and at 2 lighthouses in Portland Harbor. Look to the right - sun, to the left ominous clouds. I also was practicing with Neutral Density filter.

Shooting into the light and storm. The small boat is "Sea Tow" and it was leaving the harbor in a big hurry - probably someone stuck out to sea/harbor wanting to get in before storm

Historical Lower Town, Québec City where locals and tourists gather together, where the men are good looking, the ladies cute and the police are out writing up parking tickets

A wonderful follow up RR. Always good to have the second set of picture rival the first.

Took these from water level, had to be careful not to get my camera wet, the third one came out sort of like tilt-shift. I thought this is a different way to look at things from this angle.

Thanks for starting us off with such nice images. Could hang a big enlargement of number 1 on the wall, especially mine.

Playing in my kitchen this morning with shades and morning light.

lhammer- like the light patterns and the dove’s eye is looking at me

jfan - see you later

Bushido - like the lighting in #5, all the lines in the others and sunset, BUT Peanut’s concentration is priceless. Love her blue LL Bean raincoat :) I like rain shooting if it’s not pouring.

jfrank - I can see why its your “best shot

emang - light on horse head is perfect; but partial to barns, field and old building
