I love this one so much! The colors and shapes are fantastic.

I agree!


And the landscapes are amazing as always!






How many pictures did you have to take to get this splash? Or do you just have crazy good timing!

 

[Maglor]

Okay Agen, I've decided to post these in honor of you. I don't know how you get the amazing bird shots you do, but here are a couple I have done:

Here's a few from the San Diego zoo:

This last one isn't particularly artistic, but soooo cute!

Mag, those pics are AWESOME! The pelican and hummer pics are ones to be proud of!

Here are a few from this weekend:

Green Heron

I'm particularly proud of this photo. Swamp Sparrows are hard to find out in the open. Lucky shot!

American Alligator

Juvenile Bald Eagle

I wouldn't say that my timing is crazy good, but it only took three tries to get that shot. And that's a good thing, too, because it was very cold and windy on that beach that day.

Nice! Could also use burst mode.


A few more Cali entries:

A very weak wave compared to yours RD but, O well.

This last one was over exposed, so I had some fun with it!

And a couple more:

First I thought you would all get a kick out of what Yosemite Falls looked like when I was there.

Also wanted to share one of the most magical places I have ever been. The picture doesn't exactly capture it, but wow, truly a one of a kind place.

The Esalen Institute.

The building is where you can get the best massage of your life, and soak in natural fed hot tubs, while looking out over the Pacific.





And Redwoods in Muir Woods.

Which do you prefer? I took the picture this way:

But it also looks good like this:

 

[RoboDad]

I LOVE this one!

 

[Maglor]

Thanks!

Any thoughts on which way the redwood pic looks best?



...the more I look at it, the more I think I was right the way I took it. Not sure though...

 

[RoboDad]

I agree. At first glance, the second version looks more "normal" since the viewer can establish a frame of reference about up versus down, but ultimately I don't think normal is good for that shot. The original angle is slightly disorienting, but in a way that draws you into the photo better.

 

[agen_kolar]

Mag, I have to say that I like the redwood pic the second way, but that's just me. A great shot, either way! Different strokes for different folks.
