Picture of the Day

I would've liked to submit this one to the sky MPC, as it was taken on the last day of it, but I didn't get out of the bc until today.

Had to fight a few million mosquitoes for this one:

Saw this sunset on my drive home tonight. Only had my nifty fifty with me. No filters, tripod or anything. So I made a full on surrealist HDR shot. Because, why not. I think this may be my first one ever.

And one that's a little less overworked:

Phildo, great shots! On that first one the grain in the lower right is a bit distracting. Might be a better shot if you crop it out? You know what they say, the best camera is the one you have with you!

Thanks man! Yeah, agreed on the grain. Thanks for the feedback.

ETA: Swapped the photo out above for the new one.

I feel a bit left out not posting in this thread anymore.

But great shots all around. Lonnie, edgnar (loving the re-edits), mtcham, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, From the NEK, Phildo_Baggins, HotDiggity (love the shot -- so many interesting things going on!).

Went on a family camping trip this weekend. I got out to shoot for just about an hour. While I came back with this shot...

I didn't come back with the lens hood to my Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8. Pricing them on the Sony website $250, with 3rd party vendors about 1/2 that (if you can find one).

Just got back from a 12-day trip to Iceland where I took a TON of pictures, but I thought I'd post this one here for now. I'll put together a proper TR once I'm done editing everything.

^^^ looking sick.

**Lonnie** · 08-07-2014, 12:24 PM

^^ Yup....

**smmokan** · 08-07-2014, 12:48 PM

Thanks guys. I think I actually like this one better since it's not the "iconic" angle on Kirkjufell and offers a little something different:

Looking forward to the TR. I like this first one better because of the curves of the stream after the fall, and the very green grass in the foreground.

Come on in, the water's fine...

Did you happen to see this guy while you were there? https://www.flickr.com/photos/baldheretic

I met him on the Victoria Clipper ferry a couple years ago. Nice guy and has some really good photos. You'll have to check out this Iceland photos on Flickr. He was just there, too!

Here's my contribution for the day. Did some hiking in the Paradise area in Mount Rainier National Park. The flower display right now is amazing.
