69 Nov 23 Reply No problem Mervyn,
The combo of body and lens stabilisation is really nice.
Thanks.		 Nov 10th
69 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Dean Nov 9th
69 Nov 23 Comment Hi Jacob,
Nice capture and editing.
Just a few comments:
1) when walking amongst these tall trees, it is difficult not to point the camera above the horizon line. Unfortunately, this creates a distortion and gives the impression that the trees are falling backward (this is a big no-no in architectural photography). To avoid this, I use a wide-angle lens and keep my camera leveled. This can also be fairly well corrected using the perspective tools
2) the contrast between the very bright sky and the very dark underwood makes it hard to determine the best exposure. I prefer to bracket my shots and use HDR (natural) as needed. The biggest issue with HDR in this context is the wind! Because of this, I normally use only one of my bracketed images.
Fantastic capture and processing using an iPhone.		 Nov 9th
69 Nov 23 Comment Hi Cindy,
I have a very similar shot in my collection. The gold back of these snipes makes them stand out when scanning for insects in bushes.
Great shop. All in focus. Pleasing cropping.		 Nov 9th
69 Nov 23 Comment Hi Dean. Great shot. As the Eagle's wings are almost perpendicular to your angle of view, I believe that the little blur on the tip of the wings is due to motion (you were at 1/320 sec). Great cropping.
I like it!		 Nov 9th
69 Nov 23 Comment Nice! What a shot. This shows that returning multiple times to a specific interesting spot can produce wonderful results.

70 Nov 23 Comment Every image has multiple cropping options. Please find attached my selection (I also did a very slight correction of the horizon angle.)

70 Nov 23 Reply You are right: The "tent", with its 4 suction cups, is better suited to work with a tripod or a non moving window. Nov 12th
70 Nov 23 Comment Thanks Kirk. Good suggestion. Nov 10th
70 Nov 23 Comment Hi Kirk,
Fantastic shot. This is a perfect illustration on planning a scene so one could be at exactly the right place and at the right time.
I might be too hard on myself, but I would have prefer not to have any "burned" pixels. This is obviously not easy to do, especially when one points the camera directly at the sun! I am assuming that this was one of multiple image you took that morning. If so, do you have one capture when the sun rays were just peaking over the ground or just under the arch? If so, I would love to see it.
Nicely done. 		Nov 9th
70 Nov 23 Comment Hi Frans,
Great capture through the window of a moving train. In this situation, window glare can be very frustrating and difficult to correct in post-processing. The silicone lens hood is probably the easiest way to prevent this. I like to use a "tent" that holds on the lens with 4 little suction cups on the window - unfortunately, this is an extra piece of equipment to carry! (I mainly use these "tents" with aquariums).
Although the landing strips are affecting the beauty of the pristine snow, I find that their presence is essential in understanding how someone could reach such a destination!
Great work.		 Nov 9th
70 Nov 23 Comment Great capture. I love the mood, depth, and the good illustration of the area.
Another keeper.		 Nov 9th
70 Nov 23 Comment Hi Geoff,
Great image from a drone. I agree with Frans about the sky. Ideally, one would like to have more sky above the horizon. I would try to apply his suggestion.
I believe that you can get much sharper images using your drone than one could obtain through a plane window (frequently the windows are not flat and have a gradual tinting making it hard to correct).

70 Nov 23 Comment Hi Stefaan,
Very nice capture. I agree with the comments above. Funny enough, I was just traveling in Georgia.
There is a very similar suspended bridge in Brunswick (much shorter). I tried to get a similar perspective. Unfortunately, without the light on the top of the pylons shining on the cables, my efforts in emulating your image did not pay out!
Great work.		 Nov 9th
70 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Frans. Nov 9th
70 Nov 23 Comment Hi Tammy,
For me, the "orange" hour is one of the best time to capture fall foliage. Great capture. I like the perspective, the bridge, the lines created by the river, and the 2 humans that are helping in giving a great depth to the image.
I would probably dry to decrease the shadows a little.
Great work. A Keeper!		 Nov 9th
70 Nov 23 Comment To all. I updated the original image at the request of Kirk due to the issue with color banding. Nov 3rd
