Damn, between Denn and Ed the bar is being raised so high in this thread I may never post again. Yet another killer shot.

How long an exposure Denn?

Iconic.

It's interesting how photographers can end up taking almost the same shots at totally different times and situations.

Here's my 3-sec exposure:

Ducks are tough subjects to shoot broadside. The good light helped you, but it's still tough to track them because they move so fast. Which AF pattern were you using?

I always use single point expanded for birds in flight, both on my 7D and 1D4. You are right though, those ducks haul ass in the air! I have far more misses than hits. I was luck on this one as I was even using my 100-400 versus my 400 prime, which tends to focus slower. As I said, I was on a roll that day

Been busy trying to practice some OCF stuff with my car and the multiple exposure mode, nothing worth posting yet, though.

I did get a spike in hits on this older image from Iceland of Gullfoss (famous waterfall there, the Golden Falls) due to it getting on Tumblr somehow... Not a lot but enough to make me remember it, so thought I'd post here.

Shot with my XTi (400D), EF-S 10-22 @22mm, f/11, 0.5"

Damn, David, you get around. Killer shot. Looks like a cool place (no pun intended).

[Itsed65]

Neat looking place! I never left the airfield in Iceland, wish I had.

Nice shot David! Didn't they film the first scene of Prometheus around there?

I'd hit it.
Very pretty.

Amtrak train #6, the Eastbound California Zephyr, comes out of a rain storm past Verdi Nevada on its way to its next stop in downtown Reno.

I try, I try. Although it was a lot easier at that time to take a trip like this by myself -- now I would have to convince my wife and then take a whole cargo plane full of 147 changes of clothes for the kids!

I know the feeling, been to a few places where it would have been nice to get out if the airport - no airfields for this civilian

No idea but it seems like it would fit the bill, parts of Iceland look like Mars!

Haha, it's definitely worth a hit!

I walked the whole edge of that place trying to find some unconventional spot for a unique shot and then walked all the way back to where I started and ended up with this one as the best shot of Gullfoss from that day.

^^^^Love the train shot, Ed? Is that HDR? If so, it's perfect.

[remmib]

Awesome train shot, great post work, HDR or not.

Thanks! It is not HDR, just a single exposure. I got the look using Nik color efex pro, a photoshop plug in. It has very cool contrast control features to really bring out the mid tones. The lighting was really good that afternoon and I shot it with a 20mm prime on my full frame-o-licious 5D2, which gave me a great starting point.

[triton3k]

^gotta say it is a great shot. I have to start using my Nik Plugins. Havent used them in a very long time.
