Hawkeye's Hobbies Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The outlaws from Texas were visiting the other day...so did this while we were standing and looking out the dining room window. Soon it will be warm enough again to wash the glass on the patio door! Yesterday we noticed that the Garter Snakes are emerging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkeye's Hobbies Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hey, Gerald, did I ever tell you, I love that watermark. That is one frickin' cool design. Thanks! I outlined the concept I wanted and our graphic artist came up with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Very nice pic Terrance. Almost makes me miss NYC. One day I'll return with my daughter & see it again, just through her eyes, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks Ish. I hope you get to return one day. I really love going to NYC. There is always something to do and no matter how many times I have been there there is always something new. Last year I saw an MTV free concert in Times Square featuring Rihanna and yesterday I got to see President Obama. Well, I got to see President obama in his motorcade going pass me. Here is a link to a few more pictures of the city for your viewing pleasure. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39797696@N00/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The wind made for some interesting background bokeh. (some intentional vignetting) wind blew the grass around, but kept the tulips steady enough. And that has been my last few weeks...that I've managed to get out and do something. I can't wait to get my 105mm f/2.8 VR Macro - which is going to be in my hands roughly around October. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Hi folks, There are some seriously cool images in ths thread. Kudos to everyone Permit me to lower the standard a little by posting a couple of snaps if I may. :P I've recently taken to riding to work and the warm, sunny weather has offered up some beautiful scenes so I took my pocket camera with me and captured a few shots. Photographing white subjects against dark water poses a problem for this fully automatic camera though. The contrast is tough to deal with on these Mute swans. I hope you enjoy these and I'm very open to help and advice for ways to improve. Any tips, criticism or comments are welcome including help with exposure, framing or post editing. Cheers.

Gambler Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Nice shots Guy!..the top couple and the flower one especially. Looks like you have a very scenic little route on your way to work,all I see around me on my way to work are other cars! :lol: Cheer's, Jeff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The Lady Washington at the Ships to Shore 2011 in Garry Point Park, Richmond, BC. The Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain trading broadsides and yes, they're both also flying Vancouver Canucks flags too. Sorry Booins...no love here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) FalconRose Photography@500px As I get more portfolio quality shots, I'll divide them into collections. Finally got around to messing around with the 500px portfolio creator. Here's the end result. More photos to come. For those who want to know more about 500px, it's a Flickr alternative for professional and serious amateur photographers (yeah, yeah, we're elitist snobs...~self-deprecating grin~). You can check them out at http://www.500px.com if you're interested. Hey, wakko and plasticweapons. YOU two might wanna check 'em out as an alternative to Flickr.

zerosystem Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Animal, did you have to pay for that setup for your page? can you add things and develop them into different ablums and pages? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Animal Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Animal, did you have to pay for that setup for your page? can you add things and develop them into different ablums and pages? Zero...it costs $50.00/year to set it up into different albums and pages (that ability comes with the "Awesome" upgrade, but the basic one album "portfolio" setup comes free. Check them out if you're interested. http://www.500px.com Ken, your stuff is amazing. I'd say the last two shots of the bears hunting for fish, would get a great reception on 500px...on par with the wildlife photogs who do this for a living. And Gerald, yours too...as always... . Saving up slowly for that 50-500mm Sigma OS. Watch for eagle shots in the future. :D The Animal, LOVELY photos.... Thanks, Holmes, I was RUTHLESS with my editing. I didn't want to bring down the over-all quality of 500px, otherwise. :D Edited July 16, 2011 by The_Animal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Know your Cormorants (of the feathered type, not the rotary winged type) A pelagic cormorant shaking off it's feathers. I think this wildlife photography is starting to make me somewhat of a bird enthusiast. - note color of beak - pure black as opposed to yellow for the double-crested A double crested cormorant showing off on an excrement encovered pier (anybody for some lunch after this or did the poop turn you off?) Love those cormorants. I'm actually seeing them more around the Lower Mainland than Great Blues Herons. Now, if I could ever get my sorry butt to CFB Comox, I could take pictures of the Phalacrocorax Rotarius Sonitus - yeah...the latin word for the CH-149 Edited July 17, 2011 by The_Animal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
