Just got back from a week in Zihuatanejo. Got a bunch of raw files to develop, but I knocked this one out real quick just to have something for the old Facebook wall...

Nice, looks like there's some dust on your lens or sensor

Took this a while ago, and I did not make those .

note: picture added after post below. Below poster likely referencing Cerpin Taxt's picture

That isn't dust -- those were UFO's.

Nice photo!

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Wow! Admittedly, I kinda blew thru the editing, but how did I not see those? They aren't exactly subtle. Anyway, it isn't particularly surprising given how dry and sandy it was there, but still I'm kinda stupefied I didn't notice those spots before.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Ahh I know what it is. My stupid display needs a good cleaning, and I just supposed those were screen spots, not part of the image.

Here's after a quick pass with the spot remover, just cuz...

Museum gala (guest, not photographer, otherwise I would have loaded up on lenses )

Blown away by how big 42 megapixels is. ISO 10000, some NR.

Beautiful shot!

Great horned owl, this morning, ISO 200, color is spot on but a bit soft.

ISO 800, full resolution crop. The color isn't as accurate but it's sharper. You can see the blood on the feathers around its beak.

Playing with a new lens on my DSLR. 24mm.

Love the depth of field on this one.

Just for fun, bee in flight, playing with the CV 35/1.2, this was at 1.4. These guys are pretty slow moving, so reasonable keeper rate. Didn't have any other lenses on me.

So some jackass Saturday morning hit a power pole on a side street just off of I-5, bringing down a bundle of power lines that stretched across the freeway from edge to edge. This closed all traffic in both directions for about 3 hours. I was headed north and wound up about 10 cars back from where the lines were down. Here's some pics I took:

looks like that's a hover/flower fly. The antennae are straight, and the eyes are large and round. The stopping and hovering is pretty characteristic of them also, hence the name .

Where on I-5, looks like way up north?

About 500 yards south of the northbound exit at N 130th Street in Seattle.

New toy (IR converted NEX-7), looking forward to learning the ins and outs.

 

[CuriousMike]

I've been slacking on going out shooting - but I thought this image from my phone came out pretty good - the exposure was really good.

Noticed a rainbow forming so took a few quick pics. It was still raining so did not want to go in the rain with my camera, one was taken from inside the house. Played a bit with saturation etc just to make it come out more.
