A bit of fill flash for a catchlight in the eye, and if possible a lower perspective would work here. Which lake does this bird live in?

Paul

Thanks for the advice, I'll try both when I find him again!

He's usually roaming the small ponds in the Innsbrook office park located in Richmond, Va. There are a series of 3 small lakes connected by streams. I haven't found his nesting site, although there is a rookery in the James River a few miles away.

Is that Ice-T ? If so, the waistline is a far too real reminder that age is creeping up on all of us.

I thought the same thing! I don't think it's him though. I mean, I know he's 53, but he doesn't look like that at all in the pictures I've seen. Maybe a lot changed in 3 years.

It isn't. I didn't ask him who he was after I took the picture, though. I just saw the dude doing tai chi and took a few pictures of him doing it.

Funny that someone commented on the same thing on Flickr.
 
Looking back over the past few pages there's some outstanding work being posted, great work all!
A few stood out to me:

I like the gentle and peaceful mood created by silky smooth water in the setting (or rising) sun in the background, the fallen tree adds a sense of direction, further leading the eye in. Good work!

I like the contrast of layers going on here, the smooth flowing water, a neutral middle ground and sharp white roots against shadow.

Thanks TheReef!

I like this a lot. the colors are a great capture and I like the reflection. There's too much distance between the moon and the reflection, though. Next time move the horizon down by about 1/3...:)

I know I know, I was on a pier and right as I was about to get the perfect shot I was kicked out, so had to hurriedly run down to the beach, by the time I'd set up, it had moved far too high for it to frame decently.

^^^ Bummer. Man that's got to be frustrating. It still was a beautiful shot.

Photoshop lets you recompose... :)

I've taken a picture of my church from almost this same angle before, but last night the sky was far more interesting looking than the last time. I was closer and shooting wider this time. I also have purchased Photomatix since then. I really like how that software puts together an HDR.

 
iPhone 3GS Pics

We got dumped on the other day with snow and a lot of ice which stuck to the trees.
Photos taken with an iPhone 3GS! :rolleyes:

First shoot with my new Sigma. It did really well in the lowlight. Please excuse the noise, I am shooting on a 1000D. Which is one of the reason I want to upgrade cameras very soon. I want some of that better iso performance :D.

That's a sweet photo! How do you get that effect where you see the clouds going off into the distance but somehow its perfectly centered. Is that just the effect from a wide angle lens or something?

Here is mine for the day... Dale I might need some help with identifying this guy. I'm going to say its a Northern Harrier as it had a fairly large white strip on its tail when in flight. He got pretty close to me. Almost full frame on my camera :)

I think it's a female Northern Harrier. Probably less than three years old.
