No Trespassing, the creek
of course. I was driving to find birds, and light. I knew I saw some light downtown, I also almost got killed by an SUV. I came back to Mt Pleasant. I had had a root canal, I was entitled to photo birds....... on my way, I saw the Shem Creek dock from a different direction. With birds on it, yes there are birds!, and a… -
Re: What Did You Do?!?!
I accidentally uploaded an unedited shot so I decided to throw it in here. The shot was done with a D700 and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRI. SB-900 flash was off to camera left in a large shoot through umbrella. Flash was just outside the frame, maybe 6 feet away and about 8 feet high. EXIF: 1/80 @ f/4; ISO 100; 125mm focal… -
Most Honorable Son
Allow me to introduce you to Robert Yamazaki who I met yesterday while visiting the "Go For Broke" Memorial in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo area. "Go For Broke" was the motto of their army unit.

A Couple Of Really Bad-Ass Porsches
Porsche burst upon the international racing scene in the '50s with the famous 550 Spyder. It quickly became known as a giant killer. It had a very small displacement engine.... but was also very lightweight overall, superbly engineered, and tougher than nails. The 550 shocked a lot of it's big-bore competition and launched… -
DSS #81 - More Shots from Hawaii
Lots of photo ops but limitations on post-processing during the time frame of this challenge. I'm wondering whether you think any of these shots are a good fit for this challenge? The subject matter and style are "all over the place" as I continue experimenting with iPad apps (mostly Snapseed) and wander around the Big… -
Re: The Poconos, PA (High Bandwidth Warning)
Thank you for looking! :D I am such a planner, so unplanned things like this can drive me a little batty. But they sure do pay off in the long run. Thank you for sharing, too. This is only the second time I've been up that way. I find the entire area very peaceful and relaxing to look at, so it's nice to know I captured a… -
Re: A Beach Scene
I agree, Richard, but at the same time I hate to see a picture of a puppy called a street shot. I like puppies. I've had several in my life and loved them all. I have many pictures of them. But none of those pictures are street shots. I guess my problem is that during my 81 years I've made a serious study of the… -
