because my stuff isn't as good as wildman's, i thought i would start this area for those of us witn "box cameras" to share our stuff.
here's the first one; this is the part of the big island coast the lava is flowing to. the dark blue cloud, top center, is the lava condensation we could only get to about two miles of the actual flow.

this is from one of the many streams at the princeville hotel at kawaui
(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l279/mensajanitor/P7100294.jpg)
-
I have been there and those are a beautiful reminder of our trip!
-
-
Wow-singing pilots! I wonder if that what Peter, Paul and Mary were referring to?
Great shots. The lava cliffs with the ocean crashing into them is spectacular. Did you ever see the "green flash"?
Did you try any underwater photography while you were there?
-
-
i did not see the green flash, however, my wife recieved an e-mail with a photo of the green flash. if i can find it i'll post it. i have some photos of Hanalei Bay. i'll have to search my archives. as soon as i find them i'll post some.
-
this is one of hanalei bay. i don't have any looking out toward the ocean

(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l279/mensajanitor/P7130408.jpg)
-
Isn't Hanalei Bay also a surfing spot with the waves breaking next to the point off to the right? I remember seeing surfing movies with perfect waves at a place named like that.
Nice shots of Hawaii!
-
i've never seen surfers there as bay is shallow and the piont you see in the pictuers is pretty rocky. of course the realy good serfers serf anywhere they feel is safe.
-
not as exciting as big horn sheep but much easier to "shoot".
(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l279/mensajanitor/P1150124.jpg)
-
great photos, i especially like the lighthouse picture, as i'm a lighthouse fan.
-
mensajanitor-you had to be close to that elk!! What a creature.
Goatgirl, you photos are great. The river picture has such energy coming over the falls.
What a great thread you started.
-
Mr. Janitor,
Since you like light houses, I spent a day on the bluffs of Palos Verdes shooting this light house. Catalina is in the back ground. It's not great but I thought the sun spiltting the light house in two was kinda neat.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/MikeWorshum/Landscape/Lighthouse5.jpg)
-
cardinal; telephoto lens got close to the deer
toolman; do you mind if i print the lighthouse?
-
Toolman....that's a beautiful picture!
-
Nice pic Toolman! That is the Point Vicente Lighthouse that is in my old stomping ground. I am also a big fan of lighthouses.
-
We used to use the lighthouse as a navigational reference when we had a sailboat. Never seen it from shore. Very nice
-
Mr. Janitor.....nah I don't mind you printing it. It's much smaller than the original. I reduce all my pics before submitting them to Photobucket.
Cardinal....since you recognize the Light house you'll surely remember this too. It's 6:30am after sunrise, coffe shop isn't even open yet, and there's allways people on this pier. The marine school is still held inside.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/MikeWorshum/108_0881MBPierWebsize.jpg)
And for those familiar with the area, you'll remember the Korean Friendship Bell in San Pedro.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/MikeWorshum/109_0941KoreanBellwebsize.jpg)
-
Reminds me of the fishing pier on the Jersey shore. You take photos that take you back to the place you visited. Very nice work.
-
Pier? These guys are hilarious, they strut around like they own the place.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/MikeWorshum/100_0051.jpg)
And these guys....well.... they just be all they can be

now that i've learned to re-size, i can show you the green flash. i have never seen it. iguess one has to get lucky, or it's akin to the "jackalope"

I just love all of these coastal pics!!!!
Here is the Haceta House in Haceta Head, Or. It has become a B & B and you are very close to the Haceta Head Lighthouse. It was very misty that day.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/onegypsywolf/HacetaHouse.jpg)
Here is the Fresnel Lens in the Yaquina Head lighthouse. We climbed up the 93 steps to overlook the magnificent Oregon coast. The lens was an amazing sight.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/onegypsywolf/FresnelLens.jpg)

Great shots, everyone! I'm flying to Portland in a couple of weeks, love Oregon, have seen the Heceta Head lighthouse but probably won't make it over to the coast this trip. Thanx for sharing!

-
now that i've learned to re-size, i can show you the green flash. i have never seen it. iguess one has to get lucky, or it's akin to the "jackalope"
So THAT'S what the "Green Flash" is!! I've heard about it. Too cool!
So what causes it? The last rays of the sun refracted before going below the ocean horizon?
Robert W? Weigh in...
(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l279/mensajanitor/zinkova-400x500.jpg)

I didn't have a tri pod with me this day, so I couldn't get the shutter speed slow enough to show true water flow. But hand held at a shutter speed 1/20 and f-5.6 with IS lens and it didn't turn out too bad. The location isn't any where exotic though :'( It's a water fall and mist sprayer at the L.A. Zoo for the chimps.

MtnGal it appears that Tyler isn't as impressed with the air photos as the rest of us. he is a great looking child.

When in Little Rock I thought this prospective of the moon was interesting. It is a rock, just like the signs says!
This was at the riverside market area.

Great shot chuck....very good eye. I rate that second to Wildman's "moon over hill shot" at the mountain top junction.......and that is a compliment my friend. :thumbs:
What tick's me off more than anything, when I see a Kodak moment I don't have my camera with me. :'(
Tyler looks like me after my 30th birthday party ;D

Grand Canyon...what an awesome place. I think dead trees have so much character and add so much to a photo. Nice job.
-
Thanks Whatever, I love dead trees and agree with you about their great addition to photos.....
I wish there would have been some sun but the clouds provided a dramatic backdroup....
Have a great day!
-
nice Grand Canyon photos, AW. Karma to you for getting close to the edge, I am afraid of heights... and can't get very close! gives me the heebie-jeebies to look at photos of heights.!
-
I sat on the edge, feet dangling, it was cool to feel how big the canyon actually is......
At one point my hair stood up as I was near the rail so I thought I better move. We read later in the brochure that if your hair stands up to move from the edge quickly as you are in an electric field and may be a target for lighting. There was no sun and tons of clouds with lightning so I hightailed it outta there....
:)
-

:) Toolman,
That is a beautiful spot. Not hard to figure why you like it there so much.
These mountains hold great views if people take the time to see them. I'm not sure why more folks aren't out exploring.
Thanks for sharing the photo.

as we'er showing Grand Canyon photos here's one of the "other" Grand Canyon ( Waimia) on Kauai island. i shot this to try to show the grandure of this canyon. notice the relative size of the tour helicopter upper right center. i don't get too close to the edge as i have "height-a-phobia". i couldn't do what tooman is doing in his picture.
-
I think I've taken that ride right by the falls. Is it along the Napali Coast? Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing mensajanitor.

same waterfall, different view. the only differance between this canyon and grand canyon is the geographical location, they'er both a spectacular sight to see. i resisted seeing both, but mrs. janitor iinsisted and after all, "a happy wife is a happy life".

Sorry, let me c what i did wrong :(

That looks like where Jurrasic Park was filmed. Especially the scene where they land the helecopter by a waterfall. I know they filmed it most of it in hawaii and specificly the Kuaui island.
Where exactly is that?
-
Computerman, you need to insert a url for us to see the pics... Upload your pics to either www.photobucket.com or www.phototrail.com. You should see a url or a img link under the pics, insert one of those and wew will be able to see them....

This was taken on the road from Prescott going to Jerome. This is a panorama of 5 shots stitched together to get the whole plant. Not sure of the name but the lil yellow flowers were so pretty. It was about 3-4 ft high.
(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/dannacruzan/az---jerome-panaroma-plant.jpg)

From the look of the leaves, I would think it is "milk weed," but I don't know the official name of it. Notice the 'veins' under the leaves. ??? ::)
-
I love the clouds over the arizona mesas. :2thumbsup:
-
i didn't see that great scenery when we were in sedona. great shots angelwolf
-
-
Thanks for your kind comments...... Sally Anne
Mensjanitor - where did you go? Sedona is beautiful everywhere!!! Red rocks galore. This is off the road heading towards Cottonwood. It is Red Rock Canyon, where they filmed many many old movies....
Here is a shot of Oak Creek Canyon after a huge thunderstorm. It is normally beautiful clear water but it is red from the hard rain. This is near where the creek dumps into the Verde River. This was taken in Page Springs.
(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/dannacruzan/az---page-springs-oak-creek.jpg)
Really Cinchy, I would love to see it, is it really tall?
-
Yes, it is well over five feet tall. I am dying to know what it is called. Was going to rip it out a while back, before it grew the flower stalk. But then I decided to leave it and let it grow to see how it turned out. If anyone figures out what it is let me know.
-
It's MULLEIN. Pull it out before it flowers or you will be sorry. After years of pulling them out and almost getting rid of them, I let two flower beautifully one year and I'll be sorry for that for years. That is unless you and your neighbors want to completely landscape in Mullein.

Oh....man....your too good girl :o
One of my favorite forest roads is the 3n31 the Lytle Creek truck trail, (just before Clydes). It has a great view at the top over looking Baldy Mesa and the 15 winding it's way up the hill. It goes over to Sheep Creek Rd and I decided to ride it back the opposite direction. Coming back down I noticed the ranch from a different prospective.
We'll have to get you up on the blue Ridge road sometime.

how is it going up to the top, i have only been part way up as i was alone and did not know if there was a turn around....... that is where i took the pic of the snake..... i'd like to go all the way up...

great photos toolman, i've always wanted to shoot that view, but never thought to bring my camera whenever i headed that way. :elefant:

Thanks bud, It was one of those days to put the tools down and head off on a dual sport ride to decompress. ;D
The photo's where shot with my old Canon G-3 that fits nicely into my Camel Back. Not bad for an old 4mp pocket cam.
I found this guy hanging out on the side of the house this morning. I don't have a dedicated Macro lens.....yet. But the one I used today worked out ok. When I left for work in the morning it was there, I came home for lunch it was still there, and even still there when I came home tonight. :o

Those are just beautiful photos you took and I love the picnic table just sitting there!
Great job to you all!

SurferDude,
We are supposed to iron sheets?? I bet it makes them stiff. :) Beautiful child.
Angelwolf,
I can't believe how much Mogli has grown. Mogli doesn't look like he enjoys sharing the pad with David.

Nice Pictures Nolena! We have to take on the pros with our little cameras ;D
-
Nolena, did you use your new camera to take these? i'm still learning how to use mine. :-\

Yeah.
I learn about a function a day with this thing. (Wouldn't want to sprain any brain cells. ;) )

At that rate you should know how to use your camera by next year ;D

Does Yosemite Falls freeze over?
-
I've shown these to people at work and everyone asked if Nolena Jr. was really drinking the waterfall. I've been to Yosemite in the winter many times and haven't seen the waterfall frozen.
-
But you see big chunks of ice fall off, and then you hear huge booms as the ice lands.
It's also cool because the snow falls off the cliffs, along with the water of the falls, and the snow floats on the way down.
-
Here's Yosemite Falls with the sun hitting it the morning after it snowed.

Upper Yosemite Fall drops 1,430 feet, (nine Niagra Falls stacked on top of each other). In the winter the water falling down Yosemite Creek often freezes as it goes over the top, creating a snow cone or ice cone at the base of upper Yosemite Fall.
The Park website tells us: "During winter, sunny days between storms keep the falls in the valley at a trickle; they are transformed into pillars of ice by freezing night temperatures. The Yosemite Falls ice cone forms when water spray, frozen to the granite wall, loosens as it is warmed by the sun and spills to the base of the upper falls.
Water that does not freeze builds up on the cone, and as the temperature continues to rise, the water falls straight into the cone like a reverse volcano. The cone can grow to heights of 250 feet and can cover up to four acres."
John Muir wrote "In winter the thin outer folds and whirling spray of the great Yosemite Fall are frozen while passing through the air freely exposed, and are deposited around the base of the fall in the form of a hollow, truncated cone, which sometimes attains a height of 400 feet.

Wanted to attempt to post a picture here on the forum using Webshots. This is a cropped shot from my new Canon A710 IS, auto focus, continuous shooting mode. I shot this through my dining room window. If I'm successful, I'll post some more from this set.

Well, upon testing, it appears that the Webshots links are not working reliably, so I'll go open a photobucket account, copy them there and update.......... Sorry.
-
Hey PinonMesaJon,
Your little picture works so that is something! I went through the same thing when I first started to post pics. I did what you are going to do and started using Photobucket and it was smooth sailing after that!
Your scrub jay is showing up!

Thanks. I don't understand why the Webshots URL's don't work consistantly, but instead of trying to troubleshoot it, I'll just stick with what works for everyone else.

Now that I've got my Photobucket account set up, here are a couple more from this morning. This time a Stellar's Jay:

Thank you for sharing those PinonMesaJon. I miss my jays.

Still trying to figure out why some pictures come out all pixelated... I guess that is what you would call it. ???
Funky,
If, by pixelated, you mean that the pictures sometimes appear "rough", what you're probably seeing is what is known as noise in digital images. Do you have your ISO set to AUTO? If so, when your use that ultra zoom on your S3, you're narrowing your field, so the camera may be picking a higher ISO. Check out the ISO on the images in question and see if it's over 100 or 200. You can force the camera to maintain a lower ISO to prevent this. Of course, you'll have a longer exposure time.
-
Yes that was the problem... Mine has a range of 80 to 800 ISO... Just took 2 shots one in 100 and one in 800 and the 800 one was "noisy".
-

Funky,
What shutter speed and focal length were you at on these shots? The stopped rotors have me wondering........
-
Shutter Speed: 1/640 and 1/800
Zoom: 12x optical
F stop: 4.0
-
Great photos, Funky! I don't know anything about F stops or speeds or anything else, but to see a helicopter in mid-air, with rotors stopped, is amazing!

Oh it wasn't the camera.... I had the helicopter shut down its engines for a few seconds ;D I was amazed when I uploaded them to the computer and the rotors were stopped. My other cam made blurs out of helicopters rotors.

I suppose, while you had them turn off the engine, that you also ordered that perfectly blue sky?? ;)

I was amazed at the air show how the props on these planes were basically stopped in most of the photos. This one is actually more blurry than most, but I liked the plane in the pic.
Hubby sets the speeds. I just shoot. It is mind boggling to me how to figure all of that stuff out. It has been explained by various people and I still don't get it.

I got that in an e-mail yesterday - gave me the creeps just to look at the pictures! It said the canyon is 900 meters deep at that point. I never thought of Photoshop, but that's a good guess. Nobody could be that stupid!
-
10-4 on the Photoshop!

photoshop...... look at how small the rock is he would have had to jump to........ with all that equipment, impossible.... i would never endanger my camera like that *giggle*
-
I like the flip flop climbing shoes - great traction!
-
It looks like two different guys to me...
-
Good point.
Did he change pants while photographing? :o
-
it was selective photography. there is a ledge connecting the two mounds about 9 feet lower. if he had miss-stepped he would only have fallen the 9 feet. possibly acquiring abrasions maybe a broken bone or two.
-
Looks like the lighting made the pants look like a different color.

Some of the many horses at the Green River exit on the 91 freeway.

-
The horses are all that are left of the Hart Livestock ranch that used to run on both sides of the freeway. Slim and Donna Hart provide horses for many of the summer camps in the San Bernardino mountains. Their horses have a white heart brand on their left shoulder. They provided us with the 40 horses we used when we ran Wrightwood Stables in the late 70's.

Hey Nolena, why don't you post some pictures now that you have the new camera? Have you gotten some good photo software?
Bob has done some all male modeling in his wild days, maybe he will pose for you.

Oooh, that's a big kitty! How heavy is he/she?
I love when they lay on their backs and show their tummies like that. My big Siamese was 19lb before he got sick, adorable every inch and always slept just how Squirt is laying.
Very pretty. :)

He is about 20-23 pounds. He is my baby! Snuggles with me every night.

Two of our cats are about that size.

Aha, I thought so. :)

What a beautiful dog Lostkiwi, so sorry for your loss but thank you for sharing the photos with us!
-
Thank you. He lives in our heart and he also brought Abby to us, she is very like him but smaller and a wide lass, I can't look at her without thinking of him so there you go.
Actually, if you remember, we found a puppy outside Jensens early last year, I posted here trying to find his owner. Well we kept him for a couple of weeks and then we found him a good home. The day after he left was the day Sam was taken. Karma is an odd thing.
Don't you think he looks like the flying nun in the second picture? I loved how his ears would do that! Oh and the butt up, one leg on the couch sitting, that was a hoot. Three on the floor, I must look for a photo.

Somehow....I think the waves washing over the Golden Gate Bridge were an artist's conception.
We would have heard of that tide surge (or the surfer who rode it into Oakland).
But the idea is food for thought.

Here is my new house in New Mexico. I replaced the gate with one 20ft. wide so the fire trucks can make the turn. The old gate is still laying there...

wow i have always loved the look of the adobe (is that the right word) houses. Make sure to show some more when the landscaping is done! ;)

It is actually constructed of stucco but it is a "Santa Fe" style house made to look like adobe. Real adobe takes a LOT of maintenance!

i think so too but it didn't look like a painting. maybe some clever graphic artist?
-
I think it is a cool pic but it has to be photoshopped or something. If you look at the "bay" side, the water is very smooth. If you look at the "wave" side, the water is rough. I would think that if a wave that large was coming in, the surface of the "outgoing" water wouldn't be so smooth. Not only that, I would think that a wave that large would be a tsunami and all the water would have been pulled out of the bay! When I lived in Hawaii as a kid, it was drilled into our heads that if the water line receeded way back--head for high ground 'cause the big one was coming in!

How did you take the picture? If you took it with a cell phone you probably have it as large as you can. If you took it with a camera resize the original to something like 800 x 600. Your current picture is 200 x 150.

Everytime I look at this picture I'm amazed at the sharpness of detail. Which lens did you use and settings? And the BIG question, how many shots did you take to get this good of one? Be humble now.
-
I took about 4 of them.
You know my house right? I was sitting in my front door and he was on the pillars at the street so I was about 20 feet from him with my big lens. the 100-400mm stabilized lens.
shutter speed 1/1600 second
f/stop 5.6
iso - 400
focal point - 310mm

;) Okay, so I love golf-sue me. Okay, so I like taking photos of golf courses-sue me again.
Anyway; here's a golf course photo. If you don't like golf or golf courses don't look at it. But I happen to think its purdy, I hope you think so too...

We just got back from a trip to Mammoth Lakes and it was wonderful. At Lake Mary and Lake George the bears were amazingly active and casual about taking what they wanted. One Bear had to killed on Monday because it broke into 3 homes with people there. Here are a few pictures of the Bears.
I heard some spanish speaking people yelling Las Frutas, Las Frutas. Yeah the bear really like them.

WOW!! Geat photos!!! I love them!! Thanks for sharing. Love the bears, and that last reflection photo is outstanding!!! :wave:
-
Pretty cool photos, Chuck. :2thumbsup:
-
these pictures make me so sad and angry at the same time. This bear will not last much longer. Once they become aclimated to human food, they become so much more aggressive and wind up being destroyed. We are working on a "forest order" for my district and the district to the south of me that people who leave their food out unattended will get a large fine. If you leave your food more than 100 feet away from you and don't dispose of things properly--a ticket will be in your future. New Mexico Dept. of Game and Fish has had to destroy several bears this summer because of lazy people.
-
There were signs up stating that people would be Cited if they left food out, but then virtually every camp site (not ours) had coolers sitting outside during the day while people were off. It's an enforcement issue. I guess they have the reputation of not giving citations and word gets around. I'm wondering if the law just relates to night time?? These bears were so brave they walk right up to people fishing, and lunching, most people just ran off rather than trying to discourage the bears. Some people would yell at the bears and then they would run off (mostly).

California Adventure
This is just a 40minute show that rivals Broadway quality. Perfect length for kids. My two and four year old kids were riveted to their seats. It is worth going early to get a seat near the front.

Don't you love the forest? Me too! I wanted to make a forest poster for my wall - but don't have any photos in my gallery that are just of the forest. (They all have people in them.) I found this image online, but couldn't contact the owner of the photo for permission to use. If any of you have a photo you'd like to share with me, I'd love to turn it into a poster. Kodak says I'd need to have it 1500 x 1200 pixels for a 16" x 20" print or 1800 x 1200 pixels for a 20" x 30" print. (You can get either of these on sale for under $20, by the way!) Let me know.
Thanks!

Hollyhock in the rain.
The sun was out late this afternoon and it was still raining. Made for some nice photo ops......
I liked the rain drops in the background on this one.

PinonMesaJon, I quickly treated your photo with CS3. You had asked about it, the best way to show someone is with their own photo. Hope you do not mind.
...Auto contrast, color and levels. Bumped up the saturation lowered the hue, then unsharpmasked it.

Wow, Surfer_Dude! Thanks, much! And no, I certainly don't mind your editting my shot.
I'd like to get some more info from you regarding sharpening, if you're willing. I'd like to keep it online to help others. If this is alright with you, I'll continue it under my "Sharpening Hints" thread. If you don't want to, let me know and I'll PM you.
Thanks again! ;D

Nice shots Chuck, you have quite the view... I saw this view but did not have the right camera with me at the time.....

Kinda. They showed everyone what a conformation competition would be like, but the day was mostly focused on simply raising funds for the various Basset Rescues in the So Cal area. Abby doesn't compete. She is kinda spoiled (well, maybe more than kinda :D ). Bassets are stubborn, and tend to be of their own mind. I took a couple small videos too, that if I can post to FlickR, I will connect them here. There was a howling contest and a tail wag contest. :D

Hello Everyone.
In February of 2003, my wife and I took a trip to Northern Arizona. Beautiful country, around Jerome, Prescott and Sedona. I saw a beautiful church, and when I find the paperwork on it I will tell you more. Here it is for your consideration (ps, it makes a truely wonderful desktop for my computer :D )

Skier Bob...those are beautiful shots! The bare trees in the bottom photo make it look like a painting...kinda reminds me of Convict lake.
-
The chaparral appearance of the mountains surrounding that lake reminds me of Silverwood or Littlerock Dam (doubt there is much more than a mud puddle there this time of year though).
-
according to the name of the picture on the properties it is convict lake...
pretty close HB

This little guy was behind glass at the Big Bear Zoo. He is pretty close to actual size on my 19" monitor.
Can anyone know why kind of owl this is? Not a game I just forgot. :)
-
Excuse the grammatical error, does anyone know what type of owl this is?
-
Excuse the grammatical error, does anyone know what type of owl this is?
I am going to change my mind.
I think I misunderstood the size. It's not nineteen inches, is it? It's more like nine, yes?
Then it's a Western Screech Owl, still an immature because the ear tufts aren't well developed yet.
http://www.owlinstitute.org/owls/wscreech.html
First thought:
I think it is an juvenile Great Horned Owl for two reasons.
1) Its size
2) Its small ear tufts
The only other large owl with ear tufts is the Long-eared Owl which is much slimmer "with proportionately larger ear tufts that are closer together on head"

We went down into San Diego county via the 15 last weekend. It was gorgeous. There's even green south of Corona. I don't think I've ever seen it green there before......
-
Beautiful pictures..... All the rain should make for a gorgeous spring!!!
I have never been to Yosemite, at least I don't remember, I was very young..
Thanks for sharing!

You will go crazy in Yosemite! It is one of the best places on earth (minus the heavy crowds on holidays). We went there on our Honeymoon and make a regular trip (probably been there 30 times).
It's a photographers dream.

SD - There are a couple of us who have purchased digital SLRS up here and we are looking for a class to attend... Maybe you should have a workshop or something - I bet you would be a good teacher :)
-
There are a lot of semi-pro/pros in town and teaching them would be awful big shoes to wear. However, I am working on a Technology in Teaching supplemental authorization that would allow me to teach digital imaging/photography. Maybe a few "guinea pigs" that feel they are real beginners might be a good to start.
Thanks for the compliments.
-
I am no teacher but I do have a photography group on Care 2.com where we all post pictures and help each other thru comments. I have tons of learning articles posted there....
If you are interested, let me know via pm and give me your email and I will send you an invite.
It's a neat group as we have people from all over the world. You get to see things from other countries you would not typically see.
:)

Hi! I have been reading the forum for a couple of weeks now- I love all the photos everyone has posted-- thought I would post a couple of shots I took at Jackson Flat last summer-- I'm new to the area and would be interested if you guys ever decided to get together for a class or just to go shoot! I'd love to get to know the area better!

I am very happy to announce that "Super Chicken" has landed back on USA soil, unplucked, feathers a little ruffled, but no worse for the wear! He is now home freezing his tail feathers off in Wisconson, lol.

The eye of a horse is one of the largest of the mammals. It really gathers a lot of light and information. In this case, Cinbad's eye looks more like a mirror. By request from someone with troubled thoughts tonight. Hope this cheers you up-take your medication, will you?....

BPSquirrel,
Is that a Pyr I see there?
We lost our Reina last November. Very sad day. She was 10. She died of bone cancer. But, I credit her with saving the lives of many WW dogs, as she was one of the first diagnosed with heartworm in the area. You may have seen my post that started a rather lengthy thread here.
PM me if you have any info on any good breeders in the area, as we are interested "replacing" Reina.
BTW, were is this massive heard of sheep?
-
From the archives (note the pre "Caltrans improvements" look). Storm's pour over the ridge at Mountain Top as they move from the Valley to the Desert.

Sorry, I have been out of town and had missed the posts about the Dog. I believe it is a Great Pryn. The herd was at 95th East and Ave Q in Littlerock, they have since moved on to "greener" pastures, lol. I belong to a yahoo group Calboers ( Boer Goats) and alot of peopke have them as LGD for their goat herds. And I know there are several that had pups for sale recently, I can send anyone the information that is interested.

We saw a Grand Canyon pink rattlesnake. Very pretty. Condors. Kaibab squirrels. Lots of wildflowers.
Who's Dave? ???
Part of the group raced from campground to campground. (They were very sore.) The rest of us touristed & enjoyed the scenery.
Not really very sore at all. Lots of training.
We camped in the three campgrounds along the way.

Small tip for new DSLR owners:
When on vacation not only bring a capable DSLR with a good range of lenses..also bring a decent P&S camera.
There will be times like these:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2674718050_2d0e5d7ce0_b.jpg)
Also many P&S cameras go real wide. Mine goes to 7.1 mm. Hard to get with a DSLR.
-
Beautiful shots, S_D! Looks like you had a great trip!

SD...
Sounds like it was a great trip. We did the Rockies (Mesa Verde, Durango/Silverton,Eagle, Estes Park and RMNP) in 2006 on the bike. It was the best trip I have even taken. The scenery is just beyond words.

BEAUTIFUL butterfly photo, I love the colors & bokeh!!!
-
What's a bokeh? I'm not a photographer - is that an exclusive term? ???
-
It is using out-of-focus areas in a shot to limit distractions or just generally enhance a photograph and usually used to make a subject stand out.
Here I used a shallow DOF (depth of field) to limit almost all distraction except the Butterfly and target flower.
Using a wide aperture lens really helps to create a shallow DOF.
Here I used my 50mm 1.4 at 2.2, ISO 160, 1/5000 sec.
-
Sorry about that ForestGal, I get used to using terms and I forget others do not use it! My sister and I are always saying "Bokeh!!!!!"...kinda of a running joke btwn us, so I use it as an everyday word. You know how sisters are!!
-
STUNNING work SD!!!! This should be a magazine cover, printed HUGE on a wall....... Very professional!

Interesting composition. Isn't that the couple in times square celebrating D-Day?

Yes there is a statue of this scene at Broadway Pier in San Diego.
-
Is this a picture of the statue? Or is this a photoshop comp? My son seems to think photoshop, due to the halo around the kids. But I think the shadowing is all correct, so I am saying it is actual. If real, how tall is this statue?

That is great. I had no idea. I was right, the shadows do tell. I just rubbed this in my son's nose in the story (mr. know it all.... Gosh, where does he get that from? I don't know. :D)
It must've been put up since we were last there. I think that was three o four years ago. I will look for it next time. I love your b/w picture, giving it the feel of the original picture.

Angelwolf,
I am very critical of photographs. Mine, as well as the work of others.
Based on that, your photo of your daughter, in my critical opinion, is absolutely great.
Outstanding work.
and congratulations as well.
that's all.
-
I think having your own "critical lens" in which you view your own photography is probably a good thing, but it is important to remember that good photography is not necessarily art nor art necessarily represented by good technical photography. Photography is truly about imagery and the emotion that it provokes in the different individual viewers. In short, one person's art is another person's junk.
Once you know the basic rules of photography, feel free to break them. The famous artist Salvador Dali, could paint photo like representations of about anything. He chose another path and that has made all the difference.
I recently posted a shot to a photography web site that I almost didn't post. The curators saw it and made it a featured shot. It was flawed in my mind, but they felt the imagery overcame these flaws. The great thing about photography is that no one shot is truly perfect. This statement does not hold true when you look upon it as art. So think of your photography as art, an image to be conveyed, a moment captured, time in a bottle but keep that critical lens.
Last analogy,
There is no perfect shot like there is no perfect wave, we are always paddling out farther for the next one.

Deadhead, how many miles did you cover per day? That looks like one fantastic trip. Thanks for all the photos. When did the GPS come in handy during the trip?

Breathtaking scenery. You gentleman must be in great shape! What a wonderful trip.
John Muir would be proud, too :2thumbsup:
Thank you very much for sharing.

Aaawww....another great one. I am a sap for great a great sunrise and sunset....I am always looking for a good shot. Nice treehugger. You don't have to be a"professional" to spot beauty and capture it. Good job! :2thumbsup:

Ok Surfer Dude...you have some 'splaining to do. That is a fantastic shot!!
Where was it taken??? What causes those swirl marks on the photo...is it a reflection or photo shop??
-
Not much was done except the B&W conversion. Thanks for the compliment. I will upload another shot to help you answer the other questions.

Oh wait, I know, I know (hand waving impatiently)!!!

Dude! That is truly and fantastically awesome!!! Notice the water peeling away from below the throat... Do killer whales have belly buttons? Because it looks like it. Every single droplet of water was frozen in time. How many mega-pixels? What are the details? That shot kicked down the house!
-
I took this with my Canon 40D in a mode called small RAW. I was just playing with that format that day. Makes it 1288x1936.
ISO 400
Exposure -1/3
Lens 28-135 IS...I was tired from shooting a wedding the day before so I had on my travel kit lens (lighter) Still a very sharp copy
Small bit of sharpening and bring back the sky in PS and here it is...
Thanks for the compliments.
Here is a link to the original;

PS the 50D came out yesterday and the word is it has an iso
of 12800 ??? I haven't looked it up.
-
Nice! :)

Yep, all mammals have a belly button, you just may not be able to see it. And I agree--what a kewl pic!

No one's posting any pictures here anymore!!!!!!!!!!!
We used to have lot's of posts from all our great photographers around town. What happened?!!!!
Here's one I took a few weeks ago when the sunflowers were in full bloom. The honeybee had his sites set on this one:

Thanks..it surprised me because I thought I had my camera set on some funky setting...but it was just on 'Auto' pilot.
Like I'm going to say no? Heck I don't care...knock your socks off. ;D But if I ever go into Halmark and see it used on a greeting card....you'll be the first one I look up. ;)
-
Tumblebush...what did you do? That is fantastic! Nice job on the flash. You layed down, didn't you? Great comp!
-
Oh heck, if I would have laid down to take that shot...I would have gotten nothing but a wall of grass. It was more like knelt down and used a tripod.

That looks like one of those sunsets that happen during fire season. Was it? Just stunning.

I took this one during last years fire season. But I wish I had less forground in it or something else in the forground besides just blah...I like Surfer Dudes better.

Just use your favorite photo editing program to crop part of the bottom. This is a simple feature found on most programs, you don't need Photoshop. A good rule of thumb to start with for proportion/composition is the old Rule of Thirds, so for your pic one third foreground and two thirds background. For some reason, half & half is visually not as appealing, I dunno why.

Surfer_Dude,

Thanks for the tip. I have since been cropping all my sunsets and wow...why didn't I think of that. I guess it was too simple a thing. ::)

Hi Danna - Your photographs are amazingly beautiful as always! Thank you!

Thank you so much Pinetrees!!! TGIF!!! ;D ;)

I love the black background. Striking, simple, and elegant all at the same time. Great work! :thumbs:
-
Ya know Angelwolf...you continue to amaze me. That rose is beautiful!!!
-
I notice none of the photos have copywrites on them like I am use to seeing on previous posted photos. How do you keep people from stealing them and calling them theirs?
-
I just love the way it looks as though you can just reach out and touch those leaves. Like it's 3D. Just beautiful.
-
Thanks for the comments, they warm my heart.
I usually put copyrights on my shots but actually forgot on these. They are fairly small though so hopefully no one will steal them. If someone wants to use on their computer that is fine... :) I will see if I can edit the photobucket ones if not I will repost.
Thanks for the reminder Makgirl!

Angelwolf, your pictures are so beautiful that I often use them for my temporary desktop photo. I can't possibly post about how much I like every single one, or to anyone else either. I love them all. I'm not a photographer, and I don't even know how to clear the memory chip in my little camera, so don't worry, I'm not going to "steal" your photos. Thanks for all the wonderful pics you post. :2thumbsup:
-
Thanks alot. You are welcome to use them for your desktop. I can show you how to clear your card sometime. Let me know and I can come by.. 4479

Wow, thanks to Makgirl I figured out that you can add text to photos that you have already posted to photobucket!!! :)

Oh, they like worms too....Oh wait....that's not a worm! :o
I found this little guy under a log while while clearing a brush pile one day and thought I had found the largest night crawler alive.
It's called a Rubber Boa.

He was a baby, at just a little over a foot.

My youngest son and I went up to see one of the two naturally occurring aspen groves in Southern California today. It's located about 17 miles east of Big Bear on the 38. I'm still getting the hang of my DSLR, but here are a couple of my shots.

No not a relative, the man is a retired MD, who was actively enjoying himself. Every year there is a fundraiser in Riverside, CA to raise money for hospice work. One of the most fun I have all year and it is for a great cause. The festivities included wiener dog races, an Oompa band, silent auction, live auction (included a James Mcneill Whistler sketch) and various types of Bratwurst. It is great to see what people will donate and the amount they will bid when the money is going to such a good cause. I enjoy donating my photography services for their promotional use.

Thanks, Kim! I had so much fun! I tried several different shutter speeds until I got the results I wanted. And SurferDude, the deer were everywhere! When we were driving back to Cody from Sheridan, we'd see about 20 at a time in the fields. I didn't take pictures because my main job was to be the lookout to make sure that they weren't going to jump into the road while my husband was driving! I took the picture of these four in a field in a town called Story. That's where most of these pictures were taken. It's where we plan to retire.

We are so happy to back in WW, what a wonderful place to live in...!

If the Rubber Boa needs a home....?
I returned him to wear I found him so hopefully he will grow big enough to eat some gophers someday.

Oh well, it's my loss, but, you can't go against the Circle Of Life...(cue Elton John)
Hey...wait a minute...I could have fed it gophers! Darn!

Nice pic, Forest 1. What the heck IS that thing? At first glance, it looks like an interesting twig arrangement, then I realized it's some sort of insect. I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

Forestgal...I think he is a stick bug. I couldn't figure out which end was the ...front. I got him to crawl onto a stick and grabbed my camera. ;D

Walking stick.

I just read a little bit on Google about them. Bizarre looking creatures! It's hard to tell which end is which! ;D

Here are two more pictures of him...he really blends in with branches

Did you name him? ;D
Just curious, did you take these pics here in WW? No wonder I said I've never seen one, I probably have, and didn't notice it cuz they really blend in well with the twigs/branches. Talk about camo! ;)
-
LOL...no I didn't name him. This wasn't in Wrightwood...but I have seen a smaller version in Wrightwood.

Too cool.....and I thought I was the only one that played with strange bugs. ;D
I'll have to see about getting my Praying Mantis shots on here...I always catch them and place them around in my garden every year and they stay put all year too. Great pets.

Doesn't it look like a tornado touching down?
I have a nikon d70 and accidentally left the dial on the portrait setting. I thought it might have been reflection off the ocean but it seemed like there was too much haze for that.
Someone should know that is more familiar with photography.
I sure didn't notice it when I was taking the shots although I wasn't looking continuously at the sun either. ;D

Hi. Thank you for your forum welcome.
and yes it is the greatest school in the history of the universe! (but I didn't go there, my daughter now attends.) Arizona almost won tonight but don't worry Oregon State still has to beat the ducks.
You can use any of my photos. I think you can go on my smugmug site and make any size you want of any pic. How do you make a desktop pic? I have a mac.
That trail starts at the top of Pasadena. Where Lake St. ends.
I waited for the sun to go down. I have about 20 more shots of it setting. Those four were really different.
I am not a photographer either, I just take a lot of pictures and eventually I get lucky.
Thank you for the compliment!

FIGHT ON, I don't know anything about a MAC. I don't know very much about ANY computer. The only way I know how to make a desktop pic, is to right click on it, then pick "save as background". Which I did, for your beautiful pic.
Well, you know a whole lot more about photography than I do. I have a Canon A-520 Powershot, the memory chip is full (250 pics or something), and I don't even know how to put them on the computer, to clear the chip, so, basically, the camera is useless. I think I'm hopeless in this regard.

Oh!
I took these pictures from the Sam Merrill Trail today.

We're darn near neighbors. Priest Lake is one of my favorite places to visit over your way.
Lionshead campground in off season is a dream.

Thanks Breezymtns.
It's great to see the old barns still standing. We use them for driving landmarks. If some of them ever fall down we'll probably get lost.
And sorry FIGHT ON, for some reason my browser isn't loading your picture. I'm sure it's pretty though...Sedona is beautiful country.

I went to FIGHT ON's picture and right click on it. Then I chose View Image and was able to see a beautiful sky, clouds and mountain. Just beautiful. I love Sedona.

Tumblebush, those shots of Sweet Creek Falls are really beautiful. :2thumbsup: I've never been there, but it reminds me of a hike I've been on a couple times, in southern Washington, called Falls Creek Falls. While visiting my sister in Portland, we've driven up the Columbia Gorge to Bridge of the Gods, crossed the river into Washington, and I'm not sure where the trailhead is, but it's a beautiful hike. Only a couple miles up to the lower falls, the upper one is out of our league, but a very rewarding hike nonetheless. Maybe you know where it is. Where is Sweet Creek? I assume northern Washington?

Haven't even explored the western half of Washington yet. Some day, maybe.
I'm in the northeastern area darn near into Canada.
Sweet Creek is only a minutes from the main road and is in between Ione and Metaline. It's actually a rest stop. Metaline is where they filmed The Postman.

I went to FIGHT ON's picture and right click on it. Then I chose View Image and was able to see a beautiful sky, clouds and mountain. Just beautiful. I love Sedona.
Thanks. I wish I could take pics like that. My friend who took it used to be a professional photographer. Knows all about filters and stuff! Maybe I can pick up a few pointers and take some shots like this and like Tumblebush and Breezymtns!

Why heck FIGHT ON, Just start taking pictures and see what happens. You might surprise yourself.
I know nothing of filters and stuff, in fact...I've had my camera for almost 5yrs and use Auto Pilot 99% of the time.
The rest of the settings confuse my tumbled mind way too much. ::)

:) That's just about when I got my camera! Still don't know anything! I have seen some pictures that were taken with simply having that filter on it. Pretty amazing! It really looks like it makes a difference. I just wish the people who had taken these pics had taken another one without it just to show exactly how much better or worse they compare.
I got a nikon d70 and pretty much know and do what you do. Auto and it's good enough. But after seeing some of these awesome pictures it makes me wonder what my pictures could really look like (OR COULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE!) with just adding a simple filter.
My friend told me to always use a tripod because you have to close the apt thing and it makes the shutter stay open longer. Which if you held it in your hand it would blur. Can't wait to get one!

Sedona is my favorite place on earth... I used to live near it when I was very young, too young to enjoy the beauty at the time. It is my dream to move back there... Here are some of my shots from there:

Sedona is amazing. One of my favorite rides is down Oak Creek Canyon and popping out in Sedona. Nice photos :2thumbsup:

Absolutely beautiful photos Danna!
-
I like these the best.
The clouds in the second one are very nice. The landscape looks calm in the foreground but as you look up at the clouds it gets progressively darker and unsettling as you look toward the horizon.
Looks like a storm is on the way!
I also liked the sunset one on your site with the bird passing in front of it.
That's a HUGE camera you got there!

Thank you everyone!!! Fight on, it's a Canon EOS 20D, one of the OLD cameras.. there is now a 30 and a 40 and a 50 is coming out, but it works... The lens is my BABY, it's a 100-400mm...
When you brought up Sedona, I went hey, those pics are not on my site. So I am uploading all of them now to a Travel page specifically for Sedona, so if you want to check back to my site you can see more...

I didn't look through your whole site, just skimmed around a bit.
I'm a fan of amazing pictures! It's interesting to see how much goes into it. It's pretty much luck with me as to quality. I see some pretty neat stuff while hiking, don't wanna miss anything! :laugh: so I have my camera hanging around my neck the whole time. Even then I missed a pic of a bear I encountered once. I froze! And he ran away too fast. So any pictures of wildlife I see, clear ones, must be rare indeed! Your camera looks to come in handy for that. Distant objects. Can't wait to take some time and look at your site. What's with that eye over there?
-
Its my eye. I was working on some wolf eyes and I thought I would play with my eye as well. :)

Cool shots Angelwolf and peeps.
Side note: The "Orton effect" was named after the photographer Michael Orton and it is a fairly simple procedure in photoshop.
Some people even use "plug ins" and programs for this effect, but it is so easy not to use one. Also these "shortcuts" may hinder the final image control.
Here is a short synopsis of the technique and one way to get this, but there are many ways:
http://pcin.net/update/2006/11/01/the-orton-effect-digital-photography-tip-of-the-week/
There are many different tutorials out there for this technique, and by playing around with it you can become a master of it. These types of manipulations fall into a genre often called "painterly effects."
The main thing is to just have fun with it.
-
Here is an Orton I just completed after talking about it. It has been a long time since I did one, my photography purists friends do not enjoy them as the general public does.

Thanks Forest, and yes...Mr. Bush and I constructed him, with the help of the dogs. Geez it's hard to build a snowman when the dogs want to attack it. Had to rebuild him a couple times.
Winter is my element, I can spend the whole day hiking in the snow.

Oh that too funny. Reminds me of hiking at the Grand Canyon years ago. Seen all kinds of people wearing all kinds of things that most people wouldn't wear on a hike.

Thanks Angel. I was worried because the cold makes my lens cloud up sometimes. Hard shooting in the extreme cold.

I'm sure Angel or SD will have some mind blowing pics this winter along with everyone else. Me and my little antique camera can't hold a candle to some of the shots I've seen.
But thanks Mike.
Don't think I'm going to be shooting much today. Got a temp of -10 right now and with the windchill it's probably close to
-20something and Tumbles wants to keep all her toes and fingers.
-
OMG that is cold..... our temp came up to 30!

Ahh...the ancient art of catching snowflakes on your tongue.
Too cute and look at his little red nose.
Wouldn't catch Tumbles sticking her tongue out today....uh uh....nope. It would turn into tonguecycle.

Since we could not get to work, here are some pictures from this morning. It is snowing hard still!

I'm envious of your machine WWMtnGal.
Makes my back feel so much better just thinking about having one of dem there blowers.

On Sunday I planned to hike to Panorama Point to take some pictures. I saw this sign and neat looking trail. So instead of walking along a dirt road I decided to make a detour. Could you resist?
(http://fighton.smugmug.com/photos/437671793_rBYDQ-XL.jpg)
Never heard of Muir Peak.
(http://fighton.smugmug.com/photos/437670918_gojrM-XL.jpg)
Somebody took the sign! People do the strangest things. ::)
(http://fighton.smugmug.com/photos/437672674_AjyB6-XL.jpg)
Looking west. Looks like you can see forever!
These pictures don't really show how clear it was.
I've never been able to see so far away!

I challenge all of you fine photographers to get entertaining/shocking/strange pictures of snow players this weekend. Let's see who gets the best picture.
(Toolman will probably shovel all of the snow from his driveway into the street and just wait. ;D )
-
I'll help him!! ;D

But it would be hard for Tumbles to take pictures of herself out playing in the snow since she don't get snow players in her neck of the world. :-\
And I somehow just don't see Mr.Tumbles out playing in it. ::)
Do dogs count as snow players?
But it would be interesting to see since I haven't experienced that scene in years.

I thought taking detours is what life is all about.
Ya know, taking the road less traveled leads you to wonderful places sometimes. :) Keep it up FIGHT ON :2thumbsup:

Believe it or not this was a big decision for me! ::) And what may make it more confusing is that were talking about a very very dinky deviation. I think the peak is less than one quarter mile from the road.
I knew Panorama Point had to be right around the corner from that point. I had studied my Tom Harrison Map before starting from Lake Ave. and knew it was 1.1 miles down the dirt road from Inspiration Point. (The words Muir Peak aren't on the map.) After walking a while I figured I was about half way. I thought since this road is running almost level and even going down hill some that Muir Peak must have better views.
Going off a route that I planned is a big no no for me as I sign in blood where exactly I am going and leave that info at home. When I leave and when I expect to return etc. I am kinda new to hiking and have seen stuff happen to people and realize it could happen to anybody. even me! So hiking on known trails and sticking to my plans makes sense to be the safest for me. I could be easily found if I got bit by a snake or got into a fight with a cougar or a bear or sprained an ankle etc.
So as I stood there at the sign (tempted) :laugh: I thought for about 5 minutes. :laugh: I could see the top and it's like right there, so close and I figured I could roll down to the road if something happened. (If you are laughing you are not alone. I think it's funny too! ;)
I ripped my tendons in my ankle on the last 100 feet of the Sam Merill Trail about 3 months ago. (Here) (http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/5732642_Dpx9o#353983326_5i78s) I had hiked to Inspiration Point and returned in the dark. No problems at all until the very end of the hike where I stepped on some washed out asphalt near the gate at Lake. If that had happened any further up the trail I would have needed to be rescued. So crazy! ::) At least I can walk now!
I put this map (http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=34.21883,-118.10545&z=16&t=T&marker0=34.21406%2C-118.10253%2C3.7%20km%20NE%20of%20Altadena%20CA&marker1=34.21663%2C-118.10271%2C3.9%20km%20NE%20of%20Altadena%20CA&marker2=34.21551%2C-118.10238%2C3.9%20km%20NE%20of%20Altadena%20CA) to show how silly my BIG DETOUR decision really was! ::)
"A" is Panorama Point. "B" is where the Muir Peak trail starts, and "C" is where Muir peak is. ::)

Great snow photo's!
Surfer_Dude, there were MANY people driving around like that today, some with a little area cleaned off to see out of! It drives me CRAZY the way some people do not clean the snow off their car before they drive! Nothing like being behind someone when the snow on their roof comes flying off and hits your windshield blinding you!
-
I've been behind people who don't clean all the snow off their roof. Once they get the car all warm inside...the snow starts to melt on the roof....as soon as they stop the snow slides off the roof onto their windshield blinding them.
Just a friendly reminder....don't forget to clean off the snow from the roof of your car.

Did you use any special lenses? like one of those polarizing ones?
-
nope, just a uv filter...
Thanks!

Beautiful shots, everyone! Thanks for sharing with us.

really beautiful, anglewolf. Great job!
-
nope, just a uv filter...
Thanks!
I meant filter. (http://www.smugmug.com/photos/439650756_F26pY-S.gif) I think! ??? So what is the difference between a uv filter and a polarizing one? Do you have any pictures or know where there are examples of the same scene with different filters? I would love to see what those pictures of yours would have looked like w/o a filter.
Thanks!
-
Nice stuff! :2thumbsup:
-
Thanks Robbins Nest, coming from you that means alot!
Here is a site that talks about UV filters and shows samples:
http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/User-Guide/filter/filter-UV.html (http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/User-Guide/filter/filter-UV.html)
Ultraviolet (UV) Filters - Absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. A multi-purpose fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white photography.
A UV (or Protector or Skylight) filter should be left on your lens at all times. Not only does it protect your lens from scratches, it protects the threads on your lens when you attach other filters.

Thanks for the link and the advice! I will get one to protect the threads for sure. Just have no idea which one is for what. Especially after looking at the large selection in the second example.
I thought there was just one filter for all cameras!!! ::)
The only difference I see in the first example is that she is smiling in the second pic. Like one of those before and after face lift adds. :laugh:
In the next example of the field, it's hard to see any difference because they are so small. (I enlarged them and still can't tell which one is supposed to look good.) ???
Anyway I thought it was a simple topic. I can see it will take a bit of research on my part.
Thanks for the nudge!

(Toolman will probably shovel all of the snow from his driveway into the street and just wait. ;D )
Now, would I do that..... ::)
This baby tosses that stuff 60 feet or better. This was last year after taking delivery of my new Ariens.....and people said because I bought it we wouldn't have snow....maybe it was my fault.... :-\ but it's a blast. The heated handgrips are cool too.

I spent my summer tearing down the two story and building this place. It's not eye appealing, but it's weather proof. I only put one sliding window on this side 'south' due to extremely high winds. It also has a metal roof and flashing, with stucco under the eves for fire prevention. I'm pretty proud of it. Monday night will be the first night I spend in the place!

The dirt road continues to the top of Tenhi Mt, cell towers and a cable tv head end. I didn't make to the top on the snomo,, 8ft drifts stopped me. I'll try it again today.

I was lucky to have the snomos here. (heated hand grips, Toolman) It was the only way up for two days. I only had to walk up once. The 12v wind generator in the background and 3 others not pictured continuously charge and run all my radio equipment, and the golf cart

Pretty cool! I don't know much about snow but if you dug those paths with those shovels I bet it was fun! Nice straight sides! What do you do?, use a wheelbarrow? I was going to ask where did you put the snow but I am sure you would have said something like I dug another hole in the back yard and put it in there. ::)

Oops...sorry. I was pretty pooped out after my little hike today and forgot to make mention of the location.
It's a 100yr old homestead that sits adjoint to my property. There's a cool old piano in the house. Hopefully the owner will do something before the house falls in like the barn.

Beautiful shots, FIGHT ON!!!! Where was this? It almost looks like some of the hikes I've been on in the Mt. Hood forest in Oregon, with my sister.

Darn! You were supposed to click on the word "there", up there, where I made it red! "It's still there! (http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=34.29523,-117.91901&z=11&t=T&marker0=34.25434%2C-118.16465%2C4.8%20km%20SxSE%20of%20Big%20Tujunga%20Reservoir%20CA)" It's a map showing where it is!

I clicked the image button and between the two [img] [img], I copy and pasted the url of my photo from flicker.
-
Flickr is a bit of a different beast..not sure which url you are using so look above your pic ....click images sizes..... Medium is good for this site....then look under the image... there will be html then there will be a url under that ...put that one between the image brackets. Don't forget the forward slash on the end one [/img]

The dinasour is a really cool gift shop. We stop off to have breakfast at Denny's and then walk across the parking lot to walk through the dinasour each time we go to the River on the Parker Strip.

Used to spend weekends in the upper end of Oak Creek Canyom, the inlaws ran the Chipmunk store and Motel inthe 50's and 6o's for George Babbet, also ran the trout fishing pond prior to the store. Had some great times in the area

I put in for the district ranger job at Red Rocks RD. got picked for the one I'm at now instead (they were advertised at the same time). Looks like a great area but has its management problems just like every place. Will try to get there to visit in a couple of years.

Actually couldn't have seen me since my gray hair blends in so well with the snow. I've been thinking of tinting my hair, then you will be able to see me.

Yup, me too. Not to be a broken record, but it's not an Montana winter after all, and the good health of our trees depends on this water.

Wow! Haven't had a chance to get on here for a while and was wowed once more on some great shots. Love the one of the water lily AW.
Anyhoots, I will miss the serenity of the snow....yet will be glad to see the colors of spring.

And since the old barns are starting to thaw and I was able to walk on top of the snow this morning without snowshoes on...I decided to walk over and click a couple shots off.

Me and my friend walked along the Twin Peaks Trail on Saturday from Three Points.
From a few points along that trail we could see over the top of Mt. Wilson at what looked like a sea of clouds covering the LA area.
I guess the wind picked up on our way back because it looked like a tsunami flooding over Newcomb Pass/Eaton Saddle and crashing into that range. pictures (http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/7603147_nQGz2#491826259_xbbaf)

FIGHT ON, are you talking about the Mt. Waterman trail? You didn't actually take the "goat trail" up to Twin Peaks, did you? I've hiked the Mt. Waterman trail many times, it's one of my favorites. Several times taking 2 cars, parking one at Three Points, another at the Mt. Waterman trailhead, and hiking through, or vice versa, and one time taking one car, parking at 3 Pts., hiking on the PCT/Silver Moccasin/Mt. Waterman trail (I think that's why it's called Three Points), all the way through, and back, about 17 miles RT. I've never been up to the top of either Twin Peaks, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league, but my friend has. She's in a lot better shape than I am. Anyway, loved your photos, so many of them look so familiar, been there so many times. One time we hiked from the Mt. Waterman trailhead, through to 3 Points, in May, and we saw almost 100 snowplants. We couldn't even believe it, it's so rare, and fun, to see even one. I can't wait for H2 to re-open, so we can get back out there without having to drive 2 hours, the long way around.
But I'll wait to do that trail when the snow is all gone, thank you very much. I love exploring on top of Mt. Waterman, once you get up there, it's pretty flat, lots of nice terrain, and gorgeous views.

Waterman trailhead, through to 3 Points, in May, and we saw almost 100 snowplants. We couldn't even believe it, it's so rare, and fun, to see even one. I can't wait for H2 to re-open, so we can get back out there without having to drive 2 hours, the long way around.
But I'll wait to do that trail when the snow is all gone, thank you very much. I love exploring on top of Mt. Waterman, once you get up there, it's pretty flat, lots of nice terrain, and gorgeous views.
ForestGal, FIGHT ON! ;)
We parked at Three Points and walked east. The Tom Harrison map calls it the Twin Peaks Saddle Trail.(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/493302871_WPFvN-S.gif)
We did not go to the top of Twin Peaks. Too much snow for us but the trail was easy to follow other than a few spots that we had to be careful on.
The trail forks after 5 miles. One fork goes up over Mt. Waterman and the other down toward Twin Peaks Saddle. We went down and made it to the top of a little hill. We almost took the fork up to Mt. Waterman on the way back. We were lucky we didn't. The north side is solid snow and we were only wearing off road tennis shoes and shorts and No snow gear.
When the snow is gone we will go back.
I looked up snow plant. I think they are red right? But it didn't look like this.
Is this a snow plant??

I saw this last year north of Cloud Burst Summit.
-
Yup, that's a snow plant, and that's a really good picture! :) It's a real treat to see them, especially when there are several in one spot.
If you've never been to the top of Mt. Waterman, you will love it. The trail up, from that fork, where the sign is, is about 3/4 mile. Before that trail ends, there is another trail that forks off to the left, and goes up to some beautiful rock formations. (Steep, but short little trail.) From there, you can head west and north, and it's fairly flat and really nice to explore around. Many times we've taken the trail up, then walk through the ski area and take the service road back to the car (parked near the Mt. Waterman trail head). It's shorter to go down that way, but it makes a nice loop.
-
Thanks for your compliments.
I will check out those places eventually.
When we got back to Three Points I wanted to go look at the Buckhorn Campgrounds, but the road was closed and full of snow. That's when I noticed all the snow at Waterman trail head and up the side of where people ski.
I sure am glad we didn't try that loop.
-
Sounds as if we're talking more about hiking, than about pictures. I still don't even know how to get the pics off the memory chip in my camera, into the computer. I think I'm a hopeless computer dolt. But I'm too busy the next few weeks, to worry about that. Whatever. I would never try that loop with snow on the ground. But, I'm pretty chicken, and scared to death of slipping and falling. Color me old, I guess.
I personally can't wait to get to that trail head, when H2 opens, and it's a 45 min. drive instead of a 2 hr. drive! :2thumbsup:

oh no?! You have pictures and haven't shared them?? That's not fair ;D
It's pretty easy but I can't explain it if that makes sense? I'm sure you just need one of those cords that plug into your camera and into your computer. and then a few places to move them to. (my daughter told me how to do mine and I just memorized it)

Yes, Legoland. I went to the aquarium, it was real nice. But , I recently went to Sea World and their aquariums are fantastic.

It seems like when we start getting the spring fever up here...another cold snap kicks in. But we don't mind too awful much because it means a good slow thaw so the ground can soak it up. I mean snow = water after all.
Anyhoots, took advantage of having a beautiful day yesterday and went for a Sunday drive with a couple friends. We couldn't resist a stop at a couple of the land marks around here. We were really happy to see they survived the snow loads this year.
Anybody Home?

It's wildflower time! I took these near Tehachapi. The displays are spectacular! The fiddlenecks and popcorn flowers (I think that's what they're called) are everywhere.

Angelwolf?
I'm trying to figure out which one you took first. :-\ (I'm assuming they were taken the same day.)
I'm guessing the one with two nets was first and the close up with one net was second.
Did you run :laugh: to get the second one? (I thought the second pic was a blown up one of the first but the palm tree is in. And it looks like the sun is barley touching the horizon in both pics too so you ran didn't you!)
Did you use a tripod?

I buy food for the birds and I get this guy instead. The jays are constantly scolding me because there is not enough food, then they let this guy have it all. ;)
-
I drove like crazy to get these. I was in Palos Verdes for a party and wanted to get the sunset at Hermosa, I used to live there. I knew I could drive fairly close to the beach just past the pier. I was on the strand for the net picture which was taken first. Then back a bit for the first shot. They were taken handheld with my Panasonic.
Yes I did run, people thought I was crazy. I got it before it hit the horizon and then all the way down. I have about 30 of them. A few with a man walking, I will process and post another day....
Going to sleep now, thanks for the comments!!!
I also got some pelicans in formation! I did not know they flew that way...

These goats were in Laguna up away from the beach in the hills.
They let them roam around and eat everything to control the fire danger. Cracks me up! They come with a shepherd and dogs. Been doing it since 2003 some lady told me.

I had to pull over. I swear I am taking my camera with me where ever I go from now on. Nobody would believe half the stuff I see.
Are some of them sheep? She told me they were goats. I believe the last one is a traffic goat! ::)

If we had that many goats around here...we would be having to fend off the mountian lions.
Having goats up around my neck of the woods is like playing Jerasic park....stake a goat out and it ends up dinner.

What kind of duck is that anyhoots...looks like he's got a shiner from hanging around the golf course too long.

Love all these flower pics! Makes me sad it's probably going to snow this week :( Angelwolf: Where did you take these? I'm looking for a location like this for a bridal session.

Nice shots. I am taking a couple to the Gormin poppy fields next weekend for their engagement shoot if the weather cooperates. That might be a great idea for your bridal shoot.
-
Thank you!
I went to the poppy fields in Lancaster.
Take the 14 to Ave I and go left, its a ways out there.
The actual park did not have a lot so I did not pay the $7 to go in and kept on down the road a bit. After the curve there was a nice patch of poppies. You can take a right onto 170th and there are even more..... After that I took another right onto Ave D and there are places you can drive down paths and get out to more......

Those are great, Snowbird. You must have had a lot of fun.
Here's a couple from my Dad's rose garden down the hill. I'm so jealous of all his grass. Their backyard is a quarter of an acre and so beautiful.
I processed these in photoshop and put a light texture over them to give them a vintage feel.

Angelwolf, When did you take these beauiful shots???
-
This thread is one of my favorites. No ill will, no rants or raves. Just life as life is. Thanks to all who have posted and continue to share these wonderful images.
-
Calindy I took this last one yesterday. The others a few weeks ago.
-
Must be nice to take beautiful pictures like that, at will! (So much for a jealous, covet, envious, rant free thread!) ;D

We drove our son to his new base in Fallon, NV last weekend, and I loved watching the fighter jets do touch & goes! Right across the street I spotted a nest with some Red-Tailed Hawks, and some yellow headed blackbirds. I could not decide what to take a picture of...the red tailed hawks, black birds, or the jets!!
Of course it was almost dark when I took these, so I look forward to taking some with blue skys!!

Just awesome!

Since we use to work ground comm. at So. Bay air shows we had opportunity to shoot from the tower from time to time during media day before the crowds. Being a Navy brat myself and Pop's in service when this bird was in service.. kinda cool.
Go Navy! :wave:

I use to fool around with Macro years ago with ring adaptors and waste an awful lot of 35mm film. I recently upgraded my old Canon G-3 through the Canon upgrade system to a G-9. Too bad they don't offer upgrades for SLR's :'(
I walked past our blooming cherry tree and heard the swarm and thought I'd try out the Macro setting with the G-9 on complete Auto settings and see what I'd get.
I was pleasently surprised with the results from a simple pocket cam. Even though you can set white balance manualy I was equally impressed with the AWB setting.
It's no sport's or high speed action camera, but I think I'll enjoy it's features for hikes and what it was intended for, simplicity.

Here's a few shots you don't get to take every day. Last year we were invited to participate in demonstrating some of our projects for the TV show " Amazing Marvels " and was able to get a few shots of the Swat guys haming it up for the cameras. All weapons unloaded except the live flash bangs they tossed in the excersize houses.

Your close, yes he could trip.... but there's a never should do action he's doing while in training, weapon handling, or live magazine handling.
Keep looking ;)

Tell him to get his finger out of the trigger guard ....

Rule is, never, ever, insert your finger into the trigger guard or place your finger on the trigger until your ready to launch.
Ok, any body tell me what this might be.....and yes it's real.

The position of the muzzle of his weapon is too close to the officer in front of him.

Thanks dude ;)
I'll give a hint on what it does,
It's powered by battery and a magnatron produces what?
The military has a larger device which produces the same element of surprise vehicle mounted for cival unrest non lethal use.
What is the weapon the SWAT officer holding looking down the barrel do?
Since Wrightwood has seen it in action when I was in the middle of testing it he can't guess. But it does fire a projectile.
-
The SWAT officer (third man in) has his finger on the trigger, seems too close to the second man, and, is not covering his left flank
-
Neither of the two guys in the rear have any type of eye safety on. An ejected shell by another officer could put the guy out of commission.
I don't think you can judge the distance from photos taken at a distance.

What is the weapon the SWAT officer holding looking down the barrel do?
Since Wrightwood has seen it in action when I was in the middle of testing it he can't guess. But it does fire a projectile
- The closest guess I have is that the projectile is bean bags or a net. The bean bag weapon I have seen in the past is closer to an M203 though ....

True, but in the real deal they do wear eye and ear protection.....remember, this was a reinactment segment we did for a TV program. We all wore ear and eye protection when we did the entry-flash bang event.
We are getting off topic of posting pictures and it's my bad, all wonderfull I may add also.
Horse Apples gets the "less lethal" guess correct. It launches what is called a RAP projectile meening "Ring Airfoil Projectile" and it is 64mm in diameter filled with a chemical substance known as tear gas. Upon impact it breaks a membrain on the projectile. For demonstration purposes it is filled with baby powder. There is information about the design features of the RAP on the web. I was given the ( one of a kind) weapon to test and develop repair velocity and function aspects. My paper is close to being completed and in the publishers rap.... pun intended. ;D
The second weapon is in fact a smaller (hand held) version of what the military is currently using. It's basically what the DOJ calls the RAY gun that emits a microwave towards a centuralized object, or subject. Cooking hot dogs at 50' is kinda cool.
I get paid to test and anylize this stuff.... woo as me ;D
Ok, back to cool pictures from members of this forum who do such a great job.... much talent here.
But.... one last one... Me with my best "Ok Punk....Make My Day Face"

There's this dog that lives in the house behind us. Don't know her name but she barks a lot close to when the sun is going down. A few months ago I poked through the bushes and wedged my way over this brick wall to check it out and its this cool lab.
I don't think anyone plays with it much so I cut a spot out of all the trees and vines and started to visit a few days a week. Just barely able to climb up and lean over to pet her and stuff. She whines and seems so lonely so I've been going pretty regularly. Some times I don't and I can hear her barking for me. so I go out in the dark. She's always there waiting for me. We have this routine. I pet her for a bit while she struggles to reach up as high as she can. Once she gets tired enough about five minutes she falls down and runs away to get a ball or an orange or something to play with. When she gets back she gives it to me and I toss it and we play fetch for a while. Yesterday she found and brought me this huge piece of leather. We ripped it to shreds playing tug o war. I finally convinced my wife to check her out so we both squeezed up and leaned over the wall. She watched as me and the dog went through our greeting. Eventually my wife said we should go and get a ball for her. I told her that we didn't need to and to wait cuz the dog has stuff that she will go get. Well she ran away and came back alright but this time she brought this dead squirrel! I almost reached down to play tug o war thinking it was a rubber toy. My wife got grossed out and left. And I went and got my camera.
Look how proud she is! more pics (http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/7974909_wG5wS#518103626_E2ZLA)

I think it's a girl dog, I never really looked. Do girl dogs bring prizes too?
That was the first thing my wife said. That we should kidnap her. :) I don't know the neighbor and we are still getting over the loss of our own dog so we aren't ready to kidnap yet. Anyway don't worry, I'll keep visiting her. ;D

He/She may have just been showing what good hunter He/She is. Kind of like saying, hey look what I just caught. Probably wanted to keep it on the mantle of the dog house though.

While we're on patrol all day the weather changes drastically. I started taking a small pocket cam since we need to document incidents sometimes with photo's. Got these the last couple weeks. No photoshop, just a circular polarizer on a lensmate with a Canon G-9 auto mode.

I had to send my Canon 100-400 L IS lens to Canon repair because it was not focusing right. It is not under warranty any longer, it is costing $318 for calibration..yikes! I have no choice, what good is a lens like that if it cannot focus??

Thanks!
Calindy will be real happy when you get it back. There is nothing like a good tele especially an L series.

Amazing shot! I wish I had your camera yesterday. My friend and I stopped just short of Mt. Baldy summit in some rocks to hide from a high gust of wind. We sat there very still for a minute facing east and from our left came what looked like a dart! It passed right by my face and stopped right in front of my friends jacket. It was a humming bird! My buddy was wearing a cardinal SC jacket with a bright yellow image of Tommy on the chest. That bird buzzed so loud and in so close, checked him out real good and then just bolted out across the bowl! Out of sight in less than one second! Man I wish I had my camera ready. What is a humming bird doing above 9500 ft?

It was right there.

If you've seen one red flag stuck in the sand, you've seen them all.
What is that supposed to be ?
-
not sure exactly, I think it was some kind of game. I walked by and a few people were reading some of them and heading off toward the water.
Then I came back by a while later and the flags were still there!

My son & daughter in law have some new chickens. This chicken (actually all of them) will sit on the post, fall asleep and its head hangs down. Sorry for the poor quality picture but I didn't have my good camera.

Thanks everyone! What breathtakingly beautiful photos!
I believe those red flags may be for United States fallen military men and women - maybe the names are on the flags, not sure. Is that photo of red flags taken near Santa Monica?
I have seen articles in LA Times about citizen memorials like that one for our military men and women. So sad to think of our soldiers being lost - I wish they would come home soon.

Cool pictures, all! :)
Regarding nesting birds on Phelan road, some ravens have been nesting on power pole on the south side west of the light at Wilson Ranch Road for years.
Also, small birds nest inside the arms which hold the traffic lights at Sheep Creek, Johnson, and Baldy Mesa roads. You can see them go in and out through holes in the arms as you sit at red lights.

I'm curious, do you have a lens that's capable of taking the moon shot, or a telescope with a camera attachment, or is it cropped?
However you did it, its beautiful.

Thanks Ken.
It was with my 100-400mm lens and cropped. Taken with my Canon EOS 20D handheld.

Thanks Ken.
It was with my 100-400mm lens and cropped. Taken with my Canon EOS 20D handheld.
So when you say handheld that means you didn't use a tripod?
If you didn't would the image have been any clearer? Looks very clear to me, just interested if tripods make that much of a difference. Thanks!
-
It may have been clearer. I don't use it much as my lens has image stabilization. I usually prop myself against something. If I use a tripod I have to turn the stabilization off.

Thanks for the beautiful photos! ;D

Anyhoots, I'm glad I finally got a chance to get online and catch up on all the cool shots. Been so dern busy since the snows are gone....also it's so hard to pull myself away from the outdoors and sit behind a computer when there is so much to see and do now. Heavy spring showers finally drove me in today. :P
Oh how I love Moral Season.........

nice little league photos; is one of the children yours?

Thanks!
I went down to took these for family friend, WWdreamn.
My daughter did not want to play this year, she prefers ballet and other "girly" adventures. Too bad, but I didn't want to force her. However, I have a little four year old boy in the bullpen. I think he will love it.

Great shots Tumblebush. Interesting plants and great composition.
Thanks so much for the nice words.... Much appreciated!

OOOHH! Nice pics. We didn't go, but I currently (and hopefully not for long) live about 4 or 5 miles to the north, if that much. I will not miss ONT noise, but there is no sweeter machine-made sound than that of those planes!
-
Thanks InMyDreams,
You are gonna love Wrightwood. I moved there because I was in a grocery store in Rancho Cucamonga, with my kids, during an armed robbery. I grew up in the area and that event was enough to motivate me. Great place to raise kids, great schools, small community where you actualy get to know your neighbors. People give you eye contact as you walk down the street, in the stores, and at the post office..... Oops!! :offtopic:
Love the old planes and air show, it has been quite a few years since I last visited. Well done show, very well organized.

Ok, so I think I have some pretty good shots to post on here from Key West. How do I go about doing so?

I have a ton of pics but apparently the size of them won't all fit on photobucket. So when I get more time I will figure out how to put more on here. The first pic was taken from the trolly. This is the most southern point of the united states. The second pic is my daughter and I at Smather's Beach on Key West. The weather was beautiful. Not too humid because we had the ocean breeze all day. Plus Key West is only 4 miles wide and 1 1/2 miles long. Pretty small. Trust me, I didn't want to come home.

Great pics everyone!
I saw this bird flying over my house earlier today (Phelan) and thought it was a hawk...but it was a Turkey Vulture! So I grabbed my camera. These are not the best photo's but the first I have taken of a turkey vulture. Are they common around here and I just have never noticed?

More of em that I saw today.
Can't remember his name but he said he was 62 years old.
HUGE thumbs!
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544132443_sB2Y3-XL.jpg)
This guys name I remembered, Ken. I think he said his internet name is "Sir Ken".
71 years old! Amazing!
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544133298_suRPo-XL.jpg)
dudes hands were HUGE!
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544134131_77rxP-XL.jpg)
Right behind Sir Ken were his wife and daughter.
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544135029_CBUog-XL.jpg)
These girls were at Cooper Canyon.
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544135907_f5WgA-XL.jpg)
These two were going the wrong way! I caught up to them on the way up to Mt. Williamson from the Eagles Roost side. I asked them where they were going and he said, Canada! :lol:
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544136732_zhF7B-XL.jpg)
These two guys I caught cheating! :lol: They had someone drive their packs to Eagles Roost while they did the loop from Islip Saddle. so funny!
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544137562_3y9ZB-XL.jpg)
I forgot this guys name too. He said his wife was right behind him on the way up.
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/544138460_w3Lpq-XL.jpg)
And here she is about a half a mile down the trail. After I took this picture and walked past her I made her promise to hike with her husband! At least until she got far away from the L.A.
areas. Told her there are a bunch of freaky weirdos around this area. She got scared. :cry: Hey don't get mad at me, I think women who hike alone up in the mountains are crazy!

I enjoy taking photos of cars and planes, the other thing I enjoy doing is photo editing. This is pic of my Jeep a week or so after my Wife and I bought it.
I should post both before and after pics so you can see all that I did to the photo to make you draw attention to the Jeep, but I can't find the before.

Hello again from the north country...... :wavey:
Taking a break from a little hike we took this morning. Pretty cool air show shots Forest 1 and the Turkey Vulture is cool too Calindy...they are all cool shots and always a treat coming in here and seeing them all. :thumbs:
Anyhoots....here's a few shots of our hike. It's great that we don't have to go very far around here, plus we always have the trails to ourselves....ok...we might run into the occasional neighbor out getting firewood or a neighbor out grouse or mushroom hunting, but very seldom.
Our goal, to an old slash pile via an old logging road. This mountain had a nasty little fire a year before we moved here. It's still pretty and fun watching it grow back little by little. I always sit and watch the elk and moose roam the hill side.
(http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/88/l_e9350dbd4120425da2b30241d602ac35.jpg)
Two hours later.....we made our goal. It wasn't quite the top, but the view was still breath taking. You can barely make out the Upper Columbia River and the town of Northport sitting along it's banks.
(http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/80/l_70a689ae43d24d0197298dacce5b2a79.jpg)
Our place is there somewhere.
(http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/73/l_69690f8b9cc54a7491e23f78cf7bdd4a.jpg)
This shot shows our roof a little better......I think...(squinting a little).
(http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/80/l_229503dc76224ac49db4a1ef4475657a.jpg)
Home sweet home. And man....I was glad to get back down. I swear it was raining ticks up there. I'll be itching all the rest of the day and into the night.
(http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/88/l_159032fa7e7441f3ac57b012d3c7f3a5.jpg)
Well, time to grab something cold to drink and head down to the fishing hole.
Hope everyone is doing great and keep on keepin' on......... :2thumbsup:

I sent the page to my Meteorologist friend John Fredericks. He indicated that they were "mammatus" clouds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammatus
John has also written a book about his life and travels with his late dog Jordan who was on tv every day with John and at all events. Partial proceeds from book sales go to animal rescue groups.

I recreated an earlier panorama shot with a tripod and ball head. It is about 23 different shots stitched together. I was able to get rid of most of the geometric distortions with CS4. Next time I will use a pano head or go the inexpensive route and create an arca swiss style slider. I have been busy doing events, it was fun to try my hand at landscapes again. ;D

I haven't heard the term DOF since high school photography class - and I took photography in college as well - are you patronizing us SD? :P
-
All that is old from film is still the standard in digital...That term is used all the time in professional circles as well as amateur ones. Many photographers use the broader term DOF when they specifically mean selective focus, differential focus or shallow focus. This is how I was using the term. As far as being patronizing...no ...just enjoying and trying to be encouraging. I know the amount of effort , passion and creativity that can go into photography.

Wow! Great Pics Everyone!
Like those action images SD, something I need to work on.
Tried getting shots of my dogs catching frisbee, but still haven't mastered it yet.
Anyhoots, just thought I'd share a sunset. The last of the thunderstorms finally departed as the low heads off, made for some nice sunsets.
Couldn't help but watch this one with David Bowie playing in my head..........Golden Years........

woke up this morning to rap music and riff raff on my mountain. I'm sick and tired of the trash and crap left behind,, plus it's my property so I called LASD.
(http://www.palmdalecam.com/gallery/riffraff/pic1.jpg)
When I saw this on my PTZ camera I called them back and warned them the guy in black has a handgun.

I went down the hill and met 6 or 7 of LASD finest. A few shotguns and AR15's later they rolled up on the riffraff and hauled them off to jail..

Great surveillance photos.
What zoom level does the camera have and was it on max zoom?
Is the property posted?

Great surveillance photos.
What zoom level does the camera have and was it on max zoom?
Is the property posted?
Yes the property is posted. What I need is a fence. The camera is a Sony SNC-RX30N/2 with 26x optical zoom. mounted on top a 50ft tower. It wasn't at full zoom. full zoom with the wind blowing is a bit blurring due to wind vibration in the tower.
It's not as web friendly as the canon so I don't give controllable access to web users. The Sony is setup to pan the horizon during daylight hours. I'm feeding the video from the Sony into the Canon VB101 camera server to limit viewer time to 30 seconds. The Sony is more of a security camera then anything. The Canon VB101 was a great server for giving public access due to limited bandwidth option, programmable PTZ do not view areas, and the ablity to limit viewing time.
I scratched the lens on my canon vc-c4r so although the camera and server are fully functional the lens is ruined. Someday I'll replace it..

the winds not blowing 117mph... there's a short in the wiring going to the sensor.. so my weather station is off line until tomorrow

Good job!! :2thumbsup: We all need to curtail this behavior.
My experience from supervising inmates says that they may (probably will) send out their gang banger buddies to seek revenge, so be vigilant for a week or so. These are not nice people.

I thought of the possibility of some type of revenge.. I appreciate the heads up.. I'll keep an eye out, but I'm not going to be afraid of them.
When my employee and friend got shot by 17 year old gang banging punk in a drive by they were afraid to go to court. I drove them each day and made sure we sat where the punk could see us. The judge gave the shooter 40 years. He is sitting in prison as I type...

Hi Surfer_Dude!
What equipment did you use for this one?!
Everytime I'm taking a photo of the moon it only comes out as a bright spot surrounded by blackness :-\
It would be great if you could reveal your "trick"! :)
Thanks!
Snowbird

This is how...
(http://www.chapelhillmemories.com/uploads/Image/Apple%20Chill%20Juggler%20Chapel%20Hill%20Medium%20Web%20view.jpg)
;D
Snowbird,
Here are the specs for that shot...
1/60 sec
2.8/f
200mm
ISO 400
(EF 70-200mm 2.8l IS)
Canon 40 D
Set Camera on timer or remote
Live view avoids mirror slap (you can lock up the mirror on many cameras)
Carbon fiber tripod (dampening)
Ball head
Add patience..
There was still smoke in the sky so I added a few touches in Lightroom 2.0 to sharpen, but there was no processing to enhance the color.
The original is a large file:

Thanks for the setting SD, I will try that tonite. I can get a great shot with my Panasonic but can't quite seem to get the settings right on my 20D or Rebel.
I got a few of the smoke yesterday, took a drive up N4. I have not had time to load them as I am trying to paint.... :)
Great work Calindy and TB. The MOON SHOT ROCKS SD.

During Viet Nam. the AFVN radio network had a program that was tongue in cheek called, "The Adventures of Chicken Man". Always looked forward to listening to it each day and getting a chuckle. Glad to see he is still alive and making folks smile.

Looked at th EXIF huh? ;) Now, if I could figure out how to micro-adjust my lenses with it!

I took a 7d for a spin the other day and have often have 5D II on loaner from work. They are both amazing cameras.
-
I really like it!

Calindy, those shots you posted earlier today are just beautiful! But how in the world did SD know you had a new camera, just by looking at the pictures? If you do, I thought your old one took fantastic pics! But, I'm not a photographer. I tried to take a pic of my back deck this morning, and my little camera told me to change the batteries. I put it down and went to take a shower. So much for the picture. ::)
-
Not by the Exif data, looks like it was saved for web...
which strips that info...
:)
-
So you just knew ;D...oh now I know, I sold my 40d!

Great shots toolman! Did you use a polar filter?
Hi Big -D
Yes I did use a circular polarizer filter on a Lensmate adaptor for the body of the G-9. It's been a great little camera when I don't want to lug around the SLR and leneses. Auto white balance works pretty well also.
-
I was trying to figure that shot out, it looked polarized but not like a 20d shot. Darn little G9 works sweet!
I had to take the day off today, maybe I will get a chance to slap a polarizer on when the sun comes out.
-
Great shots!
KC6zgg, where was the picture taken?
Taken at the Saddle d**e off of Arrowhead Lake road. Essentially the beginning of the Mojave river bed. You can see the overflow spillway on the right.

Here's another one with the little G-9

Darn thing still can create decent shots. However, I wouldn't mind one of those G-series cameras.

Just shot a wedding in Malibu with my brother on Sunday, here are a few of my shots. Thought I would share this one because it was so unique.

The bride and groom were computer nerds and also anime enthusiasts. They did their own "thang!"

Caliamigo Ranch, Malibu CA
We found an old carousel that looked like it hadn't been on in ions and I fired her up for a spin.
It was an amazing shoot.

No, not at Sammys. I did hit up General Camera Repair and found two rare screws for a lens for $2. But I am not sure if I could recommend the place for a fix.

Thanks ladies, it has been a good week for me as far as photography goes.
Today an educational motivational graduation slide show I made was featured on two ginormous screens inside a large gym filled with well over a thousand students.
I saw more than a few of them welling up in tears. It was a good day for photography.

Thanks! For some reason I am noticing flowers.
They really seem to be exploding! Got to stop, and take pics of them!
btw, do you know the names of any of them? I don't!
-
I believe the ones I took a picture of are Sargent Cherry.
-
I stopped by a nursery today, and the pictures I took posted above are Fruitless Plums! The trees with the white flowers (and some of the pink) are most likely Almond Trees. So while I was there, I took more pictures, he said we have about 3 weeks, and the flowers will be gone. :(

I decided on the 1984 Padres.... AKA Taco Bell Cap. Plus I used to live in San Diego.

Thank you.
Sadly I had to turn down a digital imaging teaching job that would have started today due to prior commitments...but you are making me feel better about it by asking these types of questions.
I took out an entire pole in PS, and then slightly simmered it to how I like it in Lightroom. ;)
The shot could have been even better had I been ready for the train, I was setting up for a pano when it suddenly appeared.
Shutter speed was a tad slow,
1/30
ISO 100
f16
50mm 1.4 lens
the 1:3 crop is because I have a 36 x 12 frame that I want to use.
Here is how it looked out of camera:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4022/4662515283_1eb5aca008.jpg)
with the crop, the pole was distracting....

So were you on the dirt road on the other side of 138 or were you on the same side as the train?

Are you far away and use a zoom lens? To make the background fuzzy I mean.
-
No, on this shot I used a 50mm prime 1.4 lens....
There is a lot of ways to make a picture fuzzy.... to create beautiful "fuzziness" known as bokeh is another matter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
However I did use a telephoto on some of these shots....
or my wife did...(she tried out as my new assistant, works inexpensively ;D)

I think we just overloaded some computers with directly linking too many larger images on one page.
We can just save for web versions and create links to bigger images should anyone desire to see it larger.
Go back to the offending pages (pg.55) and see if your computer still has problems. If so it is image size (slower processor) and DL (download) speed causing it.

Yes, you should be able to make the photos smaller, and reduce the quality.
Remember, you've just "linked" to images you have stored on your photo sharing site (they aren't stored on this forum), so as long as you go to that site, and edit those photos, and don't change their names, the newly edited photos will be updated in this forum.
-
As Bob C said, the file names "must" remain the same for the images to continue to be properly linked. Honestly, it might be easier to leave them the way they area and in the future make sure to use smaller size photos.

Here's a link to a gallery of some of the flowers on page 55. http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/11544243_tiERM#812977907_iPhu6 I don't know how to change them there. Maybe smugmug can help? In the share tab they show a list of different sizes to select. I had been selecting the largest not knowing it would be a problem. In the future I will select a smaller link and if I can change the others I will. Sorry bout that.

To have got up the morning to see it was wonderfull, and that weekend it snowed several times and kept replacing the snow everytime. It had been a while to wake up with the new snow all around. The only thing really missing was the old lake behind my neighbors out buildings. Those were the days when we had a clear shot of the lakes.

Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

Beautiful photos!
-
Chuck,
do you know what kind of hawk that is? I saw one the other day when I was walking on Edna (near Forest Gal's house)
-
This is what someone else said-
likely a juvenile Cooper's Hawk. possibly a juvenile Sharp-Shinned Hawk. Very difficult to distinguish, but the curved tail in the first picture seems to indicate juvenile Cooper's Hawk. it's definitely one of the two.
-
Nice pics, Chuck. Your windows must be a lot cleaner than mine are, to get shots that clear through them! ;) That bird looks as if it's staring right at you. Is one leg tucked up under its body?
-
It was staring right at us. I used a 300 mm lens so we were a ways from it protected by walls for sound. It heard us but didn't know whether to fly off.
They come of course each day for water but only by change do we catch them.
-
WOW!! Very cool!!!

Can you please post an image of the max size? Have no idea how to measure that. Thank you.
Is it the size of the image or how many pixels it has? or both?

Doug, you're a pro or you could be. These surf pictures are great action pictures. I have one of your Morman Rocks with RR tracks pictures on my screen saver. :2thumbsup:

Thanks, tooslim. I really enjoy capturing important moments for others-weddings, events, family photography and my own family. Being busy in 2010 and being able to get paid for it was just a bonus. But being able to give back was the my favorite highlight of 2010. I was able to sponsor a few different fund raisers, all for really important causes.
Here was the last one:

Both at the Country Club.

After I posted, I realized that the 2 shots were taken from the same spot, and tried to amend my post, but my stupid computer was so slow that I finally shut it off and let it sit a while. :P
Anyway, I recognized the CC finally, and thanks for sharing the gorgeous rainbows! :2thumbsup:

I'm so glad someone got rainbow pics and posted them! I saw them all around town and down to Phelan this morning. People were pulling over (o.k., 2. . . ) and taking pictures on HWY 2. Spectacular!

Did you use a tripod? These are nice too!

I can't see what photos you commented on but I did not use a tripod. The shots in the mountains were taken from my car, I don't get out when I'm way up there alone.
The trees were from my deck and I did not use a tripod.
Some were taken with my little Olympus Stylus point and shoot and some with my Canon Rebel. Both have stabilizers on them.
Thanks for the comments!!! These are a few of my favorites!

Yer welcome. always nice shots and some I really like. Stablizers huh? Does that eliminate the need for a tripod? I've been shopping for one thinking I needed one. :P
-
and you too Fight on!
:)
-
What are you shooting with? A DSLR? If so the stabilizer is in the lens. They are more expensive but worth it.
I have two tripods but never really use them. I do have a mono pod that I use when I shoot sporting events as my big lens 100-400MM gets very heavy.
I do try and get shots right so I don't have to edit much, this is where composing the shot comes in handy. I try to shoot in a way where there are not alot of distractions but that is darn near impossible. I hate fences and power lines and remove them when I can in most photos.
-
Today in Phelan it rained, it snowed, and the sun came out once in awhile. So I took a picture of the snow melting off the pampas grass. I was able to get the reflection of the pampas grass in the water drop.

Thanks everyone! LOVE that picture SD, it's a Christmas card!
F.O. I used a Canon 7D, and Tamron 18-270 mm. I used the telephoto, not macro, and I think the sun's position made that shot.

Yes when you fill out the form there is a box you click that gives them the right to publish it. Last time I got an email that they were going to use it and what time so I could watch. I sent this in at about 3pm to they probably did not have time..... I mean the awards were on, that seemed to be the only important thing on the news last night...... :)

Brother, please allow this realist and appreciator of reality tell you to tell Cameron, that SHE made a great choice allowing you to be the photographer. Tell her that now.. you hear me? You feel me? You don't even need to tell her the investment was well worth it... she already knows that you are very good! Moreover, I love your responses to stupid answers offered to good questions. Cameron is beautiful and you nor I... and dumb retorts meant probably as "a joke"... could ever take that away from her. But you and I, unlike dumb answers...can at least enhance her beauty... as YOU did. I'm always always proud of real MEN like you SD.
Peace,
E.

I took a pic of this rock before it was moved to Grassy Hollow. I thought it was an interesting rock even more so after reading about it.

Loyola Marymount Chapel Wedding (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brenizer/6044262661/) by SurfDaddy (http://www.flickr.com/people/brenizer/), on Flickr
Saturday, I was fortunate enough to shoot a wedding in the Loyola Marymount Chapel. There are specific shooting rules based on sanctity of the church that the professional photographer must abide by, which made it especially challenging.
Here is a quick edit of a few of the shots:

I'm fond of that chapel Doug. In addition to my FB compliment, I forgot to say that I'd visit there often in the mid 80s. I had a girlfriend who went to Loyola.

Great shots, Calindy! Thanks for sharing.

Calindy, did you use a tripod? and do you have some sensor to take the pic or do you just wait until you see the lightning and then click and hope to catch it?
konaluvr, nice sunset pics, did you use a tripod?
-
Thanks FIGHT ON, no trippod, just my little Canon Power Shot camera.
-
Fight on & Konalvr, great shots!
Fight on, Funny story. I took a bunch of lightning pictures earlier that evening. I took those on a tripod, with a 3-6 sec delay. I would keep hitting the shutter and the delay caught the lightning. I did not post those. The lightning got more intense while I was in bed, so I got up, and went outside and put the camera on a wall since I did not want to wake anyone up by getting my tripod. If I had used the tripod, these pics would have been much sharper! The 4th picture of the lightning was taken like that because I did not put it on the wall the right way, so it only caught the corner. Here are a few taken on a tripod earlier that evening, with a 4 second delay, much sharper:

I never heard of a delay. Is that a feature on your camera? Does it keep your shutter open for as long as you program it?
is your camera an slr?

I have a Canon 7D SLR, and I put it on Manuel, so I could set how long the shutter stays open. I try different times till I think it looks good. For the last ones I posted, 4 seconds was the set delay.

Konalvr, nice pics! I have a real neat bundle program called Topaz Labs. I took 2 of your pictures and used 2 different filters on them. Some of the filters are to make a picture bolder, or show more detail. What do you think of the filters?

My nephew, a West Point graduate, is on his way to Afghanistan. This is his third tour. The first two, he wasn't married. Now he is married with two kids. The picture says it all.

Beautiful pictures Fight On, Cathy, & Konalvr!
My hubby & I were in NY and had secured tickets to the 911 Memorial a month before we went. It is beautiful. Looking at all those names was overwhelming. Something that I have never seen before was how they listed the names of the victims if they were pregnant, it showed their name, and following "and unborn child."

Konaluvr,
Those pictures are beautiful!!! How do you get to Inspiration Point from town? I would love to take my kids!
-
Thank you jek134. I really love taking pics there. Just head west on Hwy 2 and you'll see the sign.
-
And to add to what Kona said..
Inspiration point is about 1 or so miles past Mountain High.
And after you've discovered Inspiration Point, keep on going another 1/2 mile or so, and you'll come to Grassy Hollow visitor center.. lots of neat stuff there: http://grassyhollow.net/ (http://grassyhollow.net/)
The next thing you'll come up to past Grassy Hollow is Vincent Gap. Plenty of parking, and good hiking.
-
I was up at Grassy Hollow today, walked from the gate near the highway up to Jackson Flat. Lots of neat photo ops on that road. That's about a 2-1/2 mile RT walk, pretty easy.
Inspiration Point is 2 miles from Big Pines, up H2. I've walked that several times, and it only seems like 1 mile on the way down, but more than that on the way up.... You can also walk up Blue Ridge Road from there for more photo ops. Haven't been that way since the storm, the gate is closed so don't know the road condition.
Those were great pics from Inspiration Point, Konaluvr! So clear that day.

I'm new to the forum and have so enjoyed this topic, as well as the nature one and photos. There are so many wonderful photos with this last one I saw particularly (little girl and dog exploring in Calico)...being the one I'll comment on right now.
I'll be moving up soon to the area and hope to join in with some of my own photos. I might even start early, before I get up there.

Great shot Toolman....
I agree! Would be cool to get a time lapse of the clouds and the surf at the same time! :2thumbsup:
-
Thanks !
Here's another one about 20 minutes later higher up on the the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I am using a Lee #3 ND filter 4x4 attachement and circular polarize filter together. It's hard to meter the light correctly without them. The clouds are so bright the rest of the frame goes away so I used the filters to bring out the dark area detail.
Done with a cheap Canon G-9 point N shoot. :o
You can see how the clouds have moved in just 20 minutes.

Lovely photos Konaluvr! I could never pick a favorite season, every day is beautiful!

Went for a drive today and had to try out my new phone camera with the panorama mode. I as amazed at how easy it was and how good it looks. This is Inspiration Point from Blue Ridge Rd to Mount Baden Powell. It was hard to believe it was fall up there. Warm and clear.

Nice! Saw that on my ride home.

Wow! beautiful shots Chuck.

Great pics, Chuck! I saw that this evening also, from the warmth of my kitchen..... It started out that gold color, then turned various shades of pink. Really pretty sky this evening!

Some pictures from yesterday. Now that I live in the desert, I've been totally enjoying my view of the sky every night and I've tried to capture the images. Some of them are absolutely breathtaking and the pictures just don't do it justice.

Absolutely beautiful! What camera are you using?

My cell phone with 8 megapixels with HD.

John, that is stunning. I especially love the reflection of the clouds in the lake.

Using that really long tripod again!!

John, that picture is an award winner somewhere.... absolutely stunning.
I sent it to Karen, who is baby sitting for 10 days in Vancouver WA so she wont get home sick.

305 feet altitude
-
A truly amazing shot! Thanks for sharing. :2thumbsup:
-
John, was that taken from a radio-controlled helicopter or plane or did you take it from the top of a hill?
-
It was taken from a quad copter or drone at 300 feet above the ground.
-
That makes it even cooler!!!!! ;D
-
Tonight's sunset was another good one.

Looks like some real snow up there
-
Gorgeous picture, Nolena! And the road wasn't bad at all up there this afternoon, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't wanna drive up there right now though. It's like you took that pic with black and white film. Which is what it looked like anyway.
And John, I was just looking at the similarities between the first of the 3 pics you posted this afternoon, versus the one you posted on July 27th of pretty much the same view, just a tad bit different weather. Pretty amazing shots. :2thumbsup:

How hard is it to operate the drone and are you able to control the individual pictures you take.

Never mind I went on YouTube to get my answer

wow, those are really clear.
a couple of months ago i was camped out in the desert by a warm well oasis which is also a nudest area. i was in my trailer when i heard a strange sound that i thought was an ATV at first. i came out and looked all around but didn't see anything, but the sound was real loud. then i looked up and there it was, a drone about 100 feet up right above me. as soon as i looked up it took off towards and past a camp about 1/8 mile away. it really pissed me off, but i wasn't sure exactly where it came from since it went past the camp and over a hill where there were more camps.
later that day the owner came over with a lame story for why he was flying it above my camp, saying the resolution of the camera was really low and he can't make out anything (yeah right). i told him i was about to shoot it down, and he said he was glad i didn't. i didn't see him fly it again while i was there.

Pete,
Drones in the hands of some will violate the right's of others and break laws just like any other technology.
Many drones are capable of high resolution images and from my experience it's unlikely that pictures or video would be able to identify an individual unless it's very low to the ground and you'd surely hear and see it as you did.
This photo was taken at 210 feet above ground and you could not identify a person at this altitude.

i agree that he probably couldn't see the expression on my face. but i'm not OK with people flying them in my air space. i was where few people were at the time, so he was just being a jerk. but if they start flying over my house, i would consider it an invasion of privacy. i would imagine if you took video of someone, even by accident, and uploaded to YouTube, you could be in for a potential law suit if there were no "model release form" with the persons signature. i'm sure they are very cool to mess with, but i'd be mindful, that not everyone wants to be a star.

Finally! A good use for that Half Dome thing!!
Too bad it's not a whole dome. You could have twice as many wind machines.
