This was a from a first day trial run with my Tamron 150-600 telephoto at 1/4000: 600mm: f7.1: ISO 1000. I was practicing with the 3d auto focus on my D750 and this was part of a burst. The birds like to hang out at a railroad bridge that crosses the canal and I took a few hundred shots that day. This one was coming in for a landing. I love the shadow of the birds head on the inside of the wing.
BTW - I kept the lens.

This was taken from my kayak at a local pond this summer at 1/1000 of a sec, f6.3 and ISO 3200 at 300mm on my 18-300 lens. I was set up for trying to catch birds in flight and saw this in the distance close to shore. It was on the shady side of the pond when the sun was getting low. I love the way the light sets off the bird and the stump and the reflections.


Beautiful job done very well.

Sharon I have been looking at the challenge and seeing a lot of good images. I have one for you that I took not to long ago when ron took the pickup in to get the oil change. since I knew that I would have time for a few shoots took the tripod with me and was glad that I did. All I can remember of this shot the iso was 100 and I think that the f stop was 22 to get the star burst affect.


Beautiful Sunset Love it!

I don't think this is my best picture (have not found it yet), but composition just says it all. A nice day fishing in Mexico.
Taken with a Olympus C2000Z in 1999 as a color picture. Processed in PSP.


Life is Good, as is your photo!

Winter dawn shoot Catherine hill Bay, NSW, Australia
Canon EOS 40D + EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens
1/2000 @ ƒ/5.6 and ISO 400

Fair bit of PPing to bring out the light.
Mostly Topaz Adjust with just a selective touch of Topaz Simplify for the spray (it has been a while). The original raw file and the scene itself looked pretty good.

With all the great shots already posted, it's a humbling experience to post a couple of my own favorites. But here they are.

Very nice capture. Nice reflection

Wish I could comment on all. I liked this one a lot because it appeared at first to be one for the delete pile. #1 is the original shot with Pentax K3, ISO 100, 1/60, F5.6 #2 I cropped it worked on highlights, saturation and vibrance and was heading towards a painting effect. Finished it up in Pixelmator where I worked on color and brush stroked the reflections and mirrored if horizontally. I think I may have also"posterized" it (history doesn't show that much detail).
Saturated red, orange, yellow and green. Have it hanging - done on 11X14 canvas. Glad I didn't delete it. BTW when I joined UHH in 2011, I had only 1 program: Aperture and eventually bought their pixelmator program. My post editing was very limited. When Apple went to "photos" I purchased Lightroom and On1 as well as some MacPhun programs. Had only one camera at the time - now have 3! All because of UHH and what I've learned and seen.

Excellent PP. this is a great example of how to make an average photo into a photo worthy of printing large and framing it. Nice job.

This is Supurb! This looks like a picture that we'd see in a magazine! Should be in print, if it is not.

This was a street vendor drawing a portrait in the shade of a tree in central park (New York City) from this summer. Taken with my D750 - 28-300mm nikkor at 85mm, 1/100, f14, ISO 640. I don't do many portraits but I really like the color and softness of the reflected light.
