Lumberman, I'm enjoying your boat photos. I like the treatment, colours DOF and that kind of stuff.

Mine for today. Caribou Lake, Ontario. Before the storm:

After a long winter...it looks like snow and ice are slowly melting.. but knowing our luck, it'll snow another metro or so still.. but nice droplet

Hello --- I just thought I'd start stopping in here and posting occasionally, being that I've decided to take on the task of a 365 (again), this time hoping not to fail after a month and a half!

Description (from me' Facebook) :
The Clock Strikes Nine...

...And the snow keeps coming. This is from last night, when I randomly decided I'd take a mini detour and take a photo downtown. Most of the streets really didn't look that great.. just messy. Too many cars; a few cops helping stuck people or something of the likes, but this street (2nd I believe) looked almost empty.. and the clock tower looked rather nice in the snow, so that's about it.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, it was exactly 9'oclock, and the bells in the tower began to ring. Taken with a Canon 7D, 50mm 1.4, 1/40th for most exposures, iso(800?), f2 for the clock face;f1.6 for majority, edited in lightroom, composite in photoshop 5.5, back to lightroom. Original (16x9crop) is around 15000x9000.

To my surprise the answer was no but she agreed to modelling for me

Interesting that the part that's sagging has a different pattern to the timber frame than the rest of the building. Perhaps they should have all been built with straight frames?

That is a beautiful wall cloud shot. You should submit that to the weather service for their archive. Weather is both stunning and deadly at the same time.

Thank you, I've had a lot of fun with it and I still have two more that I'm looking forward to. (interior and races)

For today, this hook was gently swaying the whole time, but I couldn't feel the boat moving and all, nor could I see it move if I watched the dock. My long exposure stuff from the boat didn't reveal any obvious movement either. The only shot that showed any sign of movement was the tie off line from the bow to the dock when I took some bow shots well after sunset.

I was also very fortunate to have a fairly low cloud cover that was bouncing back the city lights, acting as a giant softbox

See the first post to this thread and read about quoting. You use the TIMG tag, or a browser extension.

The Safari extension just failed me on the image I quoted above, so I manually edited that response with a TIMG tag. I don't know why it didn't work as it has in the past and it is up to date and active on my system. Does TheReef have any ideas?

Impressive, that's some nice lens flare for an iPhone.

Thanks. The sun was so bright I could barely see what I was taking though.
