Nice Photos.

Most of us have taken one or two nice photos.
Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.
Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.
Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:
I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

Well, that beats the view I've got. Fantastic.
Did you take in B&W? I can imagine it looks good in some boosted colours too.

Thank you Jamie, it was originally in colour as you can see.
Apparently there is nearly always cloud around the peak, but he weather was great when we were in El Chaltén

An elder of the Ati tribe fishing from the beach outside my house. Around his neck he wears a pouch containing maggot bait.

Just returned from Spain. There were a number of storks nesting on a cathedral. Took many pics. These two are some of my favourites. Boy, do they fly fast!!

A locust in focus. This locust flew into my wife's face on the golf course and freaked her right out. I looked on it as an opportunity for a photo when I saw it fly into a nearby tree! My wife was not amused!
I'm amazed it came out so well as it was windy and had to manual focus because of the pine needles in front of it. I also had to take my next golf shot which wasn't as good as the photo shot!

Steve, lovely locusts. What lens did use? I need something like that for my butterflies.

Hi Sniper,
Thanks. I was using my Nikon D7000 'holiday' camera with a Nikon 28-300mm zoom lens. As this camera has a CMOS sensor this equates to approximately a 42-450mm lens on this camera. The lens is designed for full frame like my D700. The top photo is mildly cropped and the lower photo is the same shot, just cropped more to show the detail.
What camera do you use?

Hi Steve,
Previously and until last month an entry level Sony a200, Now a 2 day old Nikon D5100 which is still a mystery to me. The Nikon came with a 18-55 kit lens and a 200mm lens. I've never used anything other than the Sony kit lens so it is fun seeing what the 200mm can do.

Proof. It is definitely Spring time.
Mind, you should have seen the puddle I was standing in.
