I had gone to Muir Woods on my way out to Pt. Reyes , where this image was taken . Muir was pretty cloudy/foggy that AM , and I found I was getting some shutter speeds , at iso 400 , that were slower than I liked , so I upped the iso to 800 and never bothered to put it back down . One of the nice things about the 5d/5d2 , and I guess most of the current generation of DSLR's is their performance at iso's that are higher than we considered 'normal' with film .A lot of times , if I know I'll be shooting inside and outside , and not using an IS lens , I'll set the iso to 800 and forget it for the rest of the day.
Got a tip for us?

Please let me know if you like the square crop (and any other C&C). Thanks.
Hey, I think you found some of Doylem's sheep
(Sorry, John. I couldn't resist)Seriously, I think the square crop is fine as long as you don't intend to print it.
posted this also in the weekly contest. I am just so surprised that this worked out the first time.
prepped the board, set camera and flash to continuous shutter and strobe and fired while punching. Timing was near perfect. this is a concept for a project i am working on so i just post this here because i like this today.. tomorrow might be something else

Very nice. Love B&W, for aesthetic reasons.
But her choice of foot-wear for a hike in the woods is suspect.

LOL... I know what you mean... but they were walking on fairly grassy, old logging road trails, and the woods are pretty benign here on the Oregon coast. That... and the fact she's a precocious little girl who insists on learning her own "lessons." She also loves walking on our heavily graveled driveway barefooted, because it "feels neat." This kid is pretty entertaining to have around.
Wow there is a lot of talent here.
This bunch of Galaxies are about 60 million light years away. It is referred to as the Hickson #44 Galaxy Group in Leo.
The shutter was open about two hours for this shot. I used a CCD camera, hooked to a 1910mm focal length telescope.
No I didn't hand hold the camera - the rig weighs about 60 pounds.

I took a trip down the south coast today with the sole intention of taking photos.
This is Boscombe Pier.

Really great lighting and colors!
A photo taken at Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok, Thailand. There are a couple of rainspots but I think it adds something to the image.
Thats just incredible! Are you aware of this? (see link below) I bet you could get some good stuff.

I recognize this boat! I have a shot very similar to this one! I wonder if I can find it....
It is 1/4000 max. So, not so weird anymore : ).

old gate...
Another image from my trusty, old AF Nikkor 300f/4 (the non-AF-S version) that I'm posting mainly to show how thin the plane of focus is wide open with this lens. The fence wire on the right is perhaps 1/2 inch further away from me, and is completely out of focus.

Amazing picture. I wonder on how you did manage to keep stars as dots in the picture instead of appearing as "lines"? If I try taking picture of the sky with shutter speed set to around a minute stars do not appear as dots.
Me too! It must be a pretty heavily-photographed boat. It's on Tomales Bay, at a town called Inverness. Here's mine, from April this year:
Some other versions on my Flickr (link in sig).
Hey, someoldguy, looks like we did the same trip: I saw you posted a photo of Point Reyes lighthouse recently. That's a good place. I have some from there in my Flickr and might post one here tomorrow.
I like this. Can I ask what your settings were? I tried to get this effect while in PR the last week, and managed to get a couple similar but imperfect shots.
Poppa waterfall. Momma waterfall. Baby waterfall.
