73 Mar 22 Reply Cool - A friend bought a fisheye lens - he had fun with it for a few weeks, ok maybe a month and a half and it now sits on the shelf - but it was only about $400+ so. - not sure his wife remembers he bought it but at the time he really NEEDED it. Ha Ha Mar 28th

Very cool. I like how the plane is in position with the background wispy clouds and you can see the stars. I might suggest to bring out the shadows a bit to give the plane a bit more visibility - just a little. Not knowing where one can walk where you are, I might have walked a bit to the right to take out the tree.
Can you go up to the plane? If so maybe placing three very small light on the three wheels lighten up - might be cool??? Anyway my creative thoughts - I think the shot is far better with the wispy clouds that with a clear sky.

Wow look at the layers and lines - very nice. A nice pleasing shot and the barn gives the image a sense or place. Although you use a 70-300 I agree that a wide angle would have pushed the barn out so far that it would have lost that sense of place. I think I might have taken the color of the field with a bit more luminosity just to see if it would give a bit more depth.
Nice pleasing image.

Your a brave man for getting up so early - ugh. Yes I have done the same as probably all of us on many occasions - ugh.
I like the formatting of the image and yes everyone has commented about the leading lines - cool. I think the color of the water (freezing water) helps make the image with the leading lines. Another thought would have been would be to take two shots - the second a few minutes later to give the sky a bit more light and not moving the camera and been a sunrise shot with the first. Just a thought. Would have been another layer to the challenge.

Good to see you here.
The moment I open up the image my eyes went right down the canal - way cool. Yes my eye started looking around but the water flowing over the lock is the photo. I see that there is some structure at the top right and am interested in knowing if that could have been a part of the image or not. If this gives you an excuse or justification to go and buy a 10 or 14mm lens, never enough lenses!!!!.
I like the symmetry and the stairs on either side - cool shot and tells a story.

73 Mar 22 Comment Tom - how I love the Tetons - I will be there this May for 10 days.
First of all I am not sure anyone can take a bad photo of the Grand and I like the way the bank of the river goes horizontal and then down and across. I think the clouds are a bit flat and I like the B&W a lot but I think if you could have waited, got out you're lounge chair and had something warm to drink and just hung out the sunset would have been spectacular. Otherwise you have a nice capture

The color of the leaves is great.
As far as the boat - honestly it could go either way - part of me says you should have waited and another part says with the background with the homes it fits. I think the could have been a bit more room at the top of the image but otherwise a very nice image.

Very cool shot - like the profile and nice and sharp. Did you have some challenges getting closer? Nice and soft background with the macro. What was your shutter speed?

89 Mar 22 Comment Leslie
Very cute.
What shutter speed, aperture, ISO did you use? Was the shot hand held? Camera, Lens? Anything more you can share about the image?
