I've seen that look. I think it's about to crap on you!

Thanks, Ed. The iPhone came in handy.

Very happy with this shot of Nauset Light in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Well done Dmitriy!

This is the same hawk in the tree as a above, taken from the same spot. It's the difference between 309mm on the 5DIV and 500mm on the 7D2.

I mentioned last week that we were in for some good opportunities to see (and shoot) the aurora borealis. It did indeed prove to be a good week and I managed to get aurora shots on 4 evenings last week.
The latest was on Sunday evening and even though the aurora forecast was not very good, the sky was so clear, I thought I'd go to the West Beach to have a look anyway.
We were treated to a brief and totally unexpected display of the aurora, but it was whilst setting up, to check exposure and composition, before it got totally dark, that I struck lucky.

A beautiful shooting star in the frame -

Pure luck !

Thanks Dmitriy.

You were just down the road from me for that "Colorado" shot. I love where the prairie and the mountains come together.

Fabulous shots Dave and Dmitriy.

Wow, what a morning! Great shots Allen, Dmitry and Dave!

Hopefully this area will soon be under water...

Awesome shots. I really need to get out more. This is the one downside to not having my hour-long commute any more. Much fewer daily opportunities to grab pics of the countryside.

ddk632 · 10-04-2016, 05:41 PM

Thanks guys!

Last one for today. From the beautiful, scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, "Somewhere in Virginia"
