AT Shot of the Day Thread

[Fenixgoon]

Could you imagine the uplift of the quality of photography on the internet if it costs people each time they snapped a photo?

i'd be so broke with my rapid-fire approach to getting good photographs. i took 1600 photos while on vacation lots of them for stitching into panoramas though.

Still working my way through my vacation, but this one blew me away with how the panorama "developed". A little sunrise action in the valley

Haven't posted here in awhile. Busy at work little time for post-processing. Red vented BulBul gathering building materials.

Who knew laser cannons are now being installed on commercial heavies.




Check out the crew member in the rear having fun hanging his legs off the ramp.

Sand snake, Santa Rita Mtns, Arizona. Sand snakes are nocturnal and spend most of their lives underground, eating bugs and grubs.

First time seeing Cedar Waxwings around my town to pick at the Mulberry Tree. Gorgeous birds:

Caught some bolts from the storm that blew through. It was one of the only times I didn't get soaking wet. Found a nice, sheltered spot for the camera that was a touch too windy (some shake with 15 second exposures) and I had my daughter setup the GoPro on our building. Gotta see about some kind of hood for the GoPro to prevent raindrops from getting on the lens.

Was waiting for a flight of F-22's to pass by on glide path when this fella landed on a pineapple plant I'm cultivating and the 'ol "never let a good photo op go to waste" principle of photography kicked in.

Nice clean shots IronWing. If it were me taking those pics, I'd have used a 800mm lens and a doubler @ 1.6 crop to make sure that serpent got nowhere near me.

Had to crop this shot way too much to get it as clean as it should. Defringed it as much as humanely possible and refined edges to the max to get it half way decent. Shot this Laysan Albatross at the Kaena Pt. Bird Refuge. Nasty bumpy ride or a long hike to get there.

Sunny hot day at Sandy Beach shooting surf shots and these brown booby's got within range. The way they use wave generated updrafts to cruise on by is impressive.

Thank you, thank you! I've always wanted to capture lightning bolts in an interesting shot - plenty more opportunity with the summer months.

Sand snakes can’t bite you; they literally don’t have the mouth parts necessary to bite anything as big as a person.

I live in a state where there are no native snakes, well except for a snake that looks more like a shiny worm (see attachment). So having to square off with something as big as that sand snake, well I'm gonna look for the nearest exit that can sustain a 10g pullout on afterburners.

Very clear upper atmosphere tonight so got some decent detail on the moon's craters....


I played around with the image a bit more and liking the results of this image...

I get Chinooks flying over the house a few time a month...Here is a shot of a solider hanging off the ramp I got earlier this year....

I think I forgot to post this one. For the panorama lovers:

i'm all about the panoramas!

My first stab at shooting the Milky Way tonight - R3, 16-35L @16, Bulb, 2.8, manual focus, ISO 3200, 20 sec. exposure set in-camera, remotely triggered. YMMV





edit - added in aperture.
