Tried a pigeon with the borrowed 70-300mm. Quite soft results closer to 200mm and above. That wire in the rear is a distraction, was lazy to patch it in PS.

Well, I was feeding them seeded (brown) bread

Thats what we eat and is full of 5-6 different types of seeds and the robin seems to like it.

Is that wrong? Why?

@mail4ajo: Nice shot but needs a touch of photoshop, IMO, due to the visible softness in the picture and too much "other stuff" in the frame. Full bird would be nice or just neck onwards.

As i said just my opinion.

Cheers

nope, water droplets slowly freezing into ice on my car. it's amazing to see the transformation. sometimes when temperature is 10-20 below 0C, and the windscreen is clear, once i get inside, humidity inside causes rapid freezing on insde of the windscreen (mostly breath).

Allepey (spell check) evening. Nothing much about this shot but I just like the feel.

I used to love looking at these when I was in Ohio. So intricate.
I looked at your picture,and immediately knew what it was.(sigh),been over 3 years since I experienced the winters..

Super shot!

How did you time it? Or was this a multi-shot?

What are the artifacts in fore(most)ground in the centerline of the pic?

mobike008 · 20th February 2008, 14:05

Awesome shot ybx, what is the object? Cannot make out at all

bIte tHe bulLet · 20th February 2008, 16:36

hey guy,

fabulous shot dude, i'm assuming the artefacts in the foreground is due to some sort of lighting you have in front of the splash??

here are some pics i shot of a rather furious waterfall, smack bang in the middle of the monsoons, hence the chocolate brown colour!

Here's what my wife & I had last weekend,at the Joe's Crab Shack!

Interesting shots. The first shot is little over-exposed, especially the broccoli.

Close up flash is the culprit I suppose.
