Red sky at night, sailor's delight


Nikon d7000, Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI

Must have been a sign if we get a nice sunset on a Friday the 13th. And sure enough it was...

A sign for snow the next day

I'd love to see one of those someday! Are we looking at two koalas here (one behind the other)?

Yep, two koalas at the top of a gum tree.
I took a few pictures with both koalas visible, but this was best as I caught the sun shining through the leaves on his face.



It was just unreal to get so close to this huge beast of a plane:

24mm, F/7.1, ISO400, 1/1600sec. That thing generates some enormous turbulence. :D 24 wheels are underneath that thing!

Great sense of scale! This one looks to be from a different vantage point, I recognise those crates - Tempe?
I'm going to the observation deck you told me about this Wednesday late afternoon as I'll be up in Sydney, keen to give this a go :)

Qantas Drive, Sydney - under the approach point for runway 16 right. It's only useful if runway 16 right is in operation for landings. And worse, it's a long walk to get there, no parking nearby. :rolleyes:

Fortunate thing is you'll normally only need a small lens, eg 18-135mm or a 24-70mm. Or, take a ladder (to see over the top of the fence) and a super-zoom telephoto and do vertical orientation photos with the plane at the top and its reflection in the water below.

If you want to snap something noteworthy, tomorrows TG475 at 07:40 (Thai) is a B747-400 for the first time in ages.
 
sorry i missed your question about the watermark sneil2, i was not on the forum for a week. Others pointed out the possibility in lr, i do it in aperture 3. It is a bit hidden in the export window, where you choose your "export preset". Click "edit" and a whole world opens up to create export settings. You have to fiddle a little with the suitable point size. I made the watermarks in pixelmator. Once made it will be available as a preset.

Today testing my new (used) 20mm 2.8d prime. This is the ship "delft" originally build in 1783 and sunken by the british :)mad:) in 1779. Some remnants are preserved, but volunteers are building the whole ship from scratch, an endless piece of work. Oak wood.

:d
 
Another shot from the alley I was wandering through yesterday. Smither & Son Photographers had been in existence for quite some time not only taking various kinds of photos but documenting the industry and landmarks of this town. You can see by the 4 digit phone number that the sign dates back to when there was only one phone extension in town, so all you needed to know where the last 4 numbers. Most images of this ghost sign are straight on so I decided to take a different angle.

Whistler or Whoville? :p

Great shots in the blue hour VirtualRain, very nice.

Many thanks for this, yeah I read parking is an inconvenience :rolleyes:
I'm interested in taking the 400L and attempting some panning shots of the planes landing in your style as well :cool:
 
Sorry, the term "Blue Hour" is already taken. You'll have to invent something else for cloudy conditions, alas. ;)

Nice, colorful wreath photo. The deep blue color adds a lot to this one.

Should have known! Anyway, I thank you guys for introducing me to this new term! :D



I just wanted to add that this photo is therapeutic for me... removes the stress of every day life for me! Nice!

Must have been impressive. I saw the one below when we were in bus to the terminal in Helsinki. These things are huge.
