now that's what i call weather. I like the frail-looking shack and (if you look closely) that cat going "wtf!" ...
Here's some deer in richmond park, london, this morning.

i lmao out loude! My comment was for the response about the antlers.
This would be a great one to see in a Nat Geo. Great sense of peace.
I admire how a bunch of you are able to make a B&W really enrich an experience in your photos, great work to all!
^^^ The buck on the right has a fantastic set of antlers...
Haha! You have no idea how long I had to wait to get just the right angle for that visual trick ...
Here's another one, without antlers.
Click the photo to view on black, which I think looks better.

I really like this one. Has a painterly feel to it. So they really let you get this close to use a focal length of only 50mm? You said it's from a park, so i have to assume they are just used to people.
Thanks rusty. The photo is cropped, so the deer looks closer than it was, though we were reasonably close, I'd say 10 metres or so. And this was with two dogs (on leads, or it would have been a very different photo ...). The deer in Richmond Park are used to people, so you can probably get closer than you could in the true wild. Still, it wouldn't be a good idea to get close to the mothers with young, or to the stags.
I have been watching the photo of the day threads for awhile now and admiring many of the great shots. Keep them coming
I have a question though... Is there a term for photography where a single shot is taken in the dark and the shutter stays open for many seconds (I.E. 15) and a light source (like a flashlight) is used to paint on a surface like a wall?
I call it "painting with light". Me and a friend of mine have been doing this for awhile now and just wondered if anyone else with good photography knowledge has experimented with this.
Here is an example...
Didn't know if anyone was interested in experimental photography in these threads.

Don't be shy, keep them coming.
As for the term, I'd just say they are extended exposures, with the twist of painting with light.

The generally accepted term is "light painting", and we have a few practitioners right here on the MR photo forum. A Google search will show you just how creative some folks get with this technique. My own take has been on a larger scale, generally four strobes and a flashlight or two, all gelled and aimed at large-ish structures. We usually have a couple of the strobes on stands, triggered remotely and fired repeatedly, and then a couple of strobes plus a flashlight or two in the hands of two people running around the scene "painting" as quickly as the strobes can recycle. See my "Glowing" gallery for some of the resulting shots.
It's great fun to play around with lights and long exposures. My general advice to anyone getting into it would be to remember that light painting photos should aim for the same kind of balance and harmony you would see in any natural light shot: try to avoid crushed blacks and blown highlights, strive to achieve a full range of tones, and (of course) keep in mind everything you know about what makes a compelling pictorial image.
Anyway, if you've been at it for a while, definitely keep 'em coming in the PotD thread. You'll find a very receptive audience here.
Beautiful colours there, love the reflection
What is the weird pattern just above the horizon on the left? Looks like smoke trails far away.
Thanks gnd,
The pattern you see is spray of the water hitting the rocks, I figured I'd make more of a mess removing it so left it there
You have to be careful, obviously never turn your back on the seas...
Reference:
Bail shot (tripod in same spot):
Excellant framing and timing. Great feeling of depth and mystery. The fog and the formation of the ducks make this one stick in the mind. I would like it a bit wider, though. I wonder what the shore is like to camera left. Great example of waiting for the right time to press the shutter.The view from the shack this afternoon...
This shot has great potential. The colors and focus on the bee are good, but the subject is a bit too centered for me. I like the colors on the top, but the bottom seems a bit bright. Maybe crop a bit off the bottom?

Please use TIMG tags when quoting images. It turns them into thumbnails. Read the first post or use the link in my sig to see how to do this if you don't already.

Thanks for the feedback. The bee was off-center before I rotated and cropped the image.
For reference here is the original of what I posted earlier today (before rotation + crop + slight desaturation):
Points for style. Directly into the morning sun- all I could see was glare through the vf but some data was salvageable...

Martial Arts Extraordinaire? I don't think so. The guy is holding a gun. A better title might have been, "Hitman Extraordinaire", or perhaps "Scared Little Boy".
Just for those of you who thought the sheep pictures were through! A herd of bighorn sheep have come down from the high mountains and temporarily settled in the meadows outside of a nearby town. I came upon this portion of the herd just moving off of the road and had only enough time to quickly grab my camera and start shooting. Had to resort to a B&W retouch-too much blue in the original. I'll have a couple of more to follow.
