One of first landscapes with new Pentax K-X, CC welcome.
I'll leave the critiquing to the experts. I don't even know what i'm doing, let alone be able to give advice. But I am curious about the Smokies as I'll be heading there in a little over a week. Judging from your photo it doesn't look like the leaves have much color. Was it like this everywhere in the park or is it maybe just the way the shot looks? I'll definitely be taking my camera along and try to get some good shots.
That's a pretty stunning shot, I'm guessing that's only a second or 2 exposure?
Excellent exposure, showing the raging ocean waters attacking the shore with its power.
P.S. Looks like it's about time for some sensor cleaning ...
0.7 seconds according to the EXIF.
Thanks, I didn't have any filters at the time, an ND grad would have definitely helped in preserving the sky.Fantastic shot and composition. Love the sharpness on the rocks, and the fluid motion of the surrounding water. Did you use ND filters?
That's not a Navy Tomcat, it's an Air Force F-15 Eagle.

(Nikon D60, 18mm, f3.6, 30 sec)
From the August meteor showers. The exposure time was a bit too long - the stars just started to streak. Taking into account the crop factor of the sensor 20 seconds would have been better but the Milky Way wouldn't have been as pronounced.
The silhouette is Wheeler Peak in the distance and pine trees on the edge of the meadow I was in. There wasn't any Moon out and I was at about 9800 feet.
She was merely part of the "dominatrix" costume for a cyclocross bike rider wielding a pseudo-whip... who she helped 'pull' along the course. Even with the rowdy, hipster Portland bike culture crowd, the cheering turned to gasps and cries of disbelief as they passed by and everyone grasped the bondage connection.
D300, 80-200 @ 112mm, 1/4000, f/2.8
The railroads that made the American West great were built by the backs of immigrant labor, many of them Chinese. When these people settled at the end of the line, it was not always a happy ending.
