Thank you! My first time posting photos.

I have a sailboat in this area and spend a lot of time on the Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels is worth a visit with lots of wonderful photo opportunities.

I have included a photo of the Thomas Point Light which is still in operation off of the western shore of the Chesapeake. The other photos are of the Maritime Museum.

These photos are great. The wide angle is not so extreme so as to distract from the pictures.

Canon Press Release:

TOKYO, Japan, September 12, 2013—Canon Inc. has successfully captured video footage of Yaeyama-hime fireflies flying in darkness, a feat made possible by the high-sensitivity 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor developed by Canon for video capture that was announced in March 2013.

The high-sensitivity, low-noise video-shooting capabilities of the dedicated 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor1 for Full HD video capture were made possible not only through the integration of the high-performance sensor technologies employed in Canon's digital SLR cameras, but also through the incorporation of new pixel and readout circuitry technologies that reduce noise.

Using a camera prototype equipped with the CMOS sensor, Canon, in cooperation with ZERO CORPORATION,2 succeeded in capturing video3 of the Yaeyama-hime fireflies that inhabit Japan's Ishigaki Island, located off the northeastern coast of Taiwan. No artificial lighting was used during shooting, which took place after sunset a...

Beautiful. I love how sharp the boat and water are an dhow soft the clouds and mountains are.

Interesting article about the way we perceive photographs compared to video.

“One of the things we love about the still image is the way in which it can stimulate the imagination to create a fiction around an image,” said Robin Kelsey, a professor of photography at Harvard. “The fact that we can commit a single image to memory in a way that we cannot with video is a big reason photography is still used so much today.”

St. Michaels on the Eastern shore, Blackwater wildlife refuge (http://www.fws.gov/blackwater/) and Sugarloaf Mtn. come to mind.

I am a sailor and there are many vistas on the Bay as well as interesting towns (Annapolis, Scientists Cliffs, etc.)

I enjoyed a day trip to Greenwich. I took a boat from London to Greenwich. There is an observatory and maritime museum.

While not much there for photography, Churchill's war room was outstanding!

New York Sliced-Timed Photos of NY Architecture
http://bit.ly/OfD4XR

These are a group of Photos taken over about 1.5 Hours at sundown in New York City. New York architecture has always fascinated me from a historical and architectural perspective. My goal of taking these photos have changed in some way over the course of me shooting them back in 2010. The goal was to be at a spot to capture the largest part of the building, as much as can be seen in one shot. They are sliced together to form 1 single Photo but you need to look at the top of each Photo. At the top are the exact times to the second of what time the picture was taken. You can see the change of light from daylight to night time in the single image. This is an ongoing project that over time will take on some changes as it evolves. These are only a few of the buildings shot so far.

Will do. Thank you for the tip.

Found these beautiful photographs by Josh Adamski over on Google+. Enjoy!

When I purchases PSPX4 ultimate, it was the full version.

Associated Press photojournalist Greg Bull was waiting for that moment, the point in Gabby Douglas’ balance beam routine at which she leaps the highest, spreading her arms and legs and looking straight up at the ceiling.

He had tried to capture it before, but it never quite worked — he was too late, perhaps, or she was off-center. His photo “didn’t seem to be as amazing as I thought it would be,” he said by phone.
