This beautiful shot would, indeed, make a fantastic book cover background.

Beautiful. I love the Tetons, too.

In search of Ansel ! ! Nice Shots.

GREAT TITLE FOR A GREAT PHOTO.

WOW ! I went to the link you provided to look at the pictures by Elena. They are AMAZING!

To the topic, digitally, I have used both Nikon and Canon and finally settled on Canon. I have 3 bodies and 7 lenses and am totally satisfied with the image results. Once you invest and continually use one brand, you work around any limitations you sense and can produce as high a quality image as any other brand.

When I see full-time Pro's in the field, I always try to see what brand they are using. You might consider taking some time and going to a variety of public events and seeing what is being used by the seasoned Pro's. Maybe even talk to them and get their opinions of why they use a particular brand. Don't be in too much of a rush and you will be happier when you do make a choice.

Superior shot.

Probably because of a stroke he had. But still a great experience. And he will be at this celebration. Worth the visit.

I posted some information about Clyde Butcher a short while back, and some of you expressed interest. Since I live in Florida and am a great fan of his work, I joined his email for upcoming events.

In case any of our UHH group might be in Florida for a visit in October, I thought some of you might like to meet Clyde and maybe go on one of his swamp photography walks.

Today's email contained the following information from Clyde for which I did 4 screen shot to capture the details.

NOTE: Other than just being a fan, I have no other connection with his company. I just wanted to share the opportunity with photography friends. For more information, there is a phone number in the last image. Or his website is: https://clydebutcher.com

Enjoy.

Thanks to ALL of you for your wonderful comments. God Bless you all.

Yes. How often do you go out to eat and see people at an adjacent table where most, or all, are looking at their phones instead of each other. There is an appropriate place and time for the use of technology, and there is an appropriate place and time for fellowship and interaction with family and friends. Yes, it is a commentary. A sad one.

Those tendrils often indicate a "stinging" variety of catepillar. I'm not certain for this one, but this beautiful one may also be displaying a warning of "don't touch me."

Still, great photo.

Your captures are great. Thanks for sharing.

I live in Florida, but I "love" the 101 drive up the coast through the Redwoods and have been through Eureka a number of times. A stop for me has always been in Crescent City so I could drive the 11 mile dirt road among the Redwoods in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. That is a breathtaking drive. Enjoy your beautiful trees. And enjoy getting those great animal shots.

Yes, the landscape is awesome there and your images are excellent captures of the beauty.

I am on my 3rd 27" iMac. I upgraded the first for a faster cpu, then, giving my 2nd to a grandson to use for schooling, my 3rd was for the most recent display upgrade. I wouldn't consider the smaller screen. I can have 2 full pages on display on the screen at the same time, whether text or Photoshop pages. The large screen makes working on the computer so much more enjoyable.

You hit the bullseye on that one.
