Interesting shot. Would you mind posting the image without the vignette?

My friends and I threw a house party last night complete with a keg of Flying Dog Amber Ale and a bunch of our musician friends. We didn't really need a whole keg, but hell, it was fun to have it there any way, and now we'll have some "free" beer to drink for a while.

This photo captures the energy of the whole night perfectly I think.


This is Pat. Pat has lived in this little midwestern town (Marne, MI; where my friend's house is) his whole life. He's a great dude, and has a helluva lot of funny stories.



I may put up some more photos from the jam session in a separate thread, but who knows.

Chainsaw, that shot is awesome....how long were you waiting for that to happen?

Thanks! That's what you call "good luck" or "being in the right place at the right time."

I went out to the coast this weekend to hopefully see some really big waves. There was supposed to be a nasty storm come through Saturday night into Sunday morning with 30'+ waves. The timing of the storm was off from what the NWS said, it came in today after I came home. Anyway, I was standing on top of a viewing platform at Cape Flattery watching waves and taking pics when I saw the gulls swarming around something that looked like a log just under the water, except that it sank out of sight after a couple seconds. Wasn't sure what I'd seen so kept an eye on that area and a minute later the sea lion popped up with that salmon in it's mouth. He had it by the back of the head the first time and was shaking it around, killing it I suppose and tore the head off. He grabbed the body and submerged then popped back up a few seconds later in a little different spot and started choking it down. Took him a minute or two to get the whole thing down and he kept surfacing then submerging. My friend was down at the edge of the bluff when we first saw it and she had a front-row view the whole time. I had to climb down off the platform and go over to where she was to get the best pics. The first couple of pics have my friend's head in half the frame so I had to really crop them down. I'm thinking that given all the miles of coastline, to have that happen right under a viewing platform at the end of a trail is probably a really lucky thing.

Here's a full series of pics that tells the whole story:

A quick shot from a hike that I went on with my parents in Boulder on Sunday:

Here's one from Michigan during the system with lowest ever recorded barometric pressure of any mainland storm in the US. Yeah, it was a little windy today. I saw a couple of 20+ bombs break waaayy out on the lake today. No joke.



Edit: Just found out that I could adjust saturation values on my files after they've been uploaded to photobucket. Why don't they just not fuck with the files 'cause doing more work on there is a hassle.

Hello Detroit....

[khakis]

snapped this pic of a young bull moose on saturday...almost feels like winter!

[mtcham]

Chainsaw Willie-impeccable timing on that meal, nice shots!

This little guy has hopefully moved back towards the mountains to hibernate. He cleaned up several deer carcasses over the last week and provided some close watching.

Nice thread, some amazing pictures. Thought I'd take the opportunity to share some of mine, most of them were taken in Costa Rica. Nothing fancy, but I like em'

I took this one in 2003, during a big mountainboarding, backpacking, hitchiking trip I did around the Western States. It was taken in Moab, Utah.



this one I took in Tilaran, Costa Rica. The rider, my friend Markin wasnt doing anything stylish off this little drop but I love the windmills and the edge of the lake.



Heres one of my P.O.D.



..and some chill out in Montezuma

Hello Detroit....

Reminds me of the LAX terminals before the huge additions and upgrades for the 1984 olmpics

outabounds... Maybe clone out those hoop things in the llc and crop a few pixels off the bottom so you can't see the grass line. Either way nice dof control and the different comp works well.

I thought that to, but didn't really want to say anything.

I was gonna pull a fred miranda and tell him to clone out the car above the hoops

the tree, the lines, and the movement are really too great to lose that shot to the car being parked at a crappy spot
