Great picture from using just handhold the tripod. I got my moon shoot with a Sony DSC-H1 and with the lens all the way out (432 mm by film lens). I had time to set up a tripod open bedroom window and set camera on self timer end up with two pictures.
Hey Bill, that sounds like a real challenge - a lot of moving parts. But the timer is something I might try.
Thanks

Actually I was checking out my new Nikon TC-17E II (1.7x) which I paired with my 70-200 f/2.8. The old tripod head I was using only tilted up to about 70 degrees and with scudding clouds fighting me and moonrise quickly reaching its apex, time was a'wasting. So I had to physically tilt/handhold the tripod to get the shot, thinking this durn 1.7 better be worth it.
I had read a bunch of mixed reviews but as far as this one shot for me, I think it was worth it. What do you think? And do you think a gimbal head would solve my vertical inadequacy? Thanks for any comments.

That's a good one. I like a healthy ego if it's accompanied by a healthy sense of humor.

Just to inform everyone, I have tried to change the Title to my last post to no avail. Admin informed me that the title can only be changed within a one hour time frame from the post. Sorry about that. The Title on this post is the intended title I was going to put in it's place.
Attached you will find some more pictures. Some of you may find my colors to be too vivid. By now you should know it's my style. Thanks for looking.

Nice shots. Lots of saturation but that's OK with me. However, you say "By now you should know it's my style...." You've been a Hogger for all of 10 days so how do you figure we should know you that well?
Thanks

After being asked by The Matriarch of Monument Valley to do a senior portrait of her grandson. We went their to shoot in sevearal locations. This one image was created high up in the backcountry. We had to climb a cliff up near some hidden Anesazi ruins. I don't think you will see many like this in a yearbook anytime soon. The weather was questionable on the 200 mile trip with rain most of the way.
A truly gripping image. An awesome portrait of the Valley and an obviously dedicated young musician. As it turns out, thank God for the rain, eh?

Thanks Raz ! .......I thought it was important to include the water tower - but in doing so it is limiting how much I can get on the left side of the image - that is what is frustrating for me now .....and I really want to avoid doing everything manually - so, I may be using a wider angle lens in the portrait orientation on the next version.

Either the wider lens or the tree has to go
BTW: I've visited your website more than once and have almost made my way thru it, enjoying every image immensely.
You're a talented photog.

Wonderful shot. It reminds me of Stuart, 40 years ago. This part of town really hasn't changed in all that time, and you captured it. Confusion Corner - ah memories.
Thanks

[quote=imagemeister]Been planning this shot for some time......confluence of 6 streets and the railroad tracks near the downtown area of Stuart - the infamous "Confusion Corner".

The Rosemary plants in my backyard are in bloom and they're attracting a lot of bees, birds, bugs, butterfly's, and one idiot with a camera.
That's some impressive up-close action. And every one of those critters has charisma, or is that chutzpah?
Thanks

Every one of these images is magnificent. I really appreciate the rare (at least to me) views of the park. Beautiful and thoughtful.
Many thanks

Departing SF Bay after their show, I was riding shotgun in a car doing about 45-50 mph, rolled the window down and fired this shot.

Beautiful. I might try that 50mph approach, up my game.

#5 for sure. #4 maybe. But they're all very good.
