The window adds some mystery.

I can be proud of my work this morning. Thank your for your support

One says "I do not need" , but does feel nice

The lamp image is my favorite, followed by the last one

and I do not see any editing errors

That's scary I think, such a Cobra, Tom?

Great light of the singer, Armando. A bit of a brown overcast?

Thanks for commenting , yes I suppose, white balance is problematic in such environments

Some excitement this AM.  First Cobra in the house.  Lots of snakes have visited but first Cobra.  My son took an image with Smartphone and sent it via Whatsapp to local snake man who will collect and release in the wild.  Now we are watching for a parent  .  Each of the vertical tiles are approx. 3" wide so this snake approx. 18 inches. Df, 70-200 f4 vr (only camera immediately to hand).
Frank, yes , nets and ropes from fishing boats.  Last year shot the same scene after a storm and had clothing including a Bra (made me wonder) in the branches.

Just the first cobra, ok ... no big deal

I got sting by a little wasp 2 weeks ago, and the area is still itchy, hard to the touch, peeling , I can't imagine the damage if bitten by a snake, even if taken the antidote on time

Here's my nomination (it was a very good night: sunset, big surf, nice bubbles)

[John Geerts]

Everything is allowed, Colin. 

Very atmospheric image !

Aug 17.  Crazily hot...

D750, AF Nikkor 70-300/4-5.6 ED (the older, non-VR version).  Apparently better than the current VR version.

Akira - I like these but especially the last two. The isolation of the butterflies gives an extra sense of movement. Curious .. how did you shoot this?

Can't comment on the gear used - I just enjoy the images.

.. as long as the IQ is not superior to our expensive gear 

Looks like a very cozy moment!

I remember crossing that bridge in the most amazing lights, bad you cant stop to take pictures

Thanks Fons - I wouldn't mind shooting the bridge lit up in darkness but I'm not sure I'll be able to find my way through the meadow without breaking a leg

Just got back from the mountain, not sure about the rules here, but I post anyways

August 18th. On the way up from the beautiful Romsdal to Sandgrovbotn, got on top of the fog and this appeared.



August 19th, the model that never disappoints

Very nice Sveintore! This evening gave a beautiful sunset. Luckily we didnt have the fog. What kind of breed is your dog? Longhaired Vorsteh?

[ColinM]

Thanks John

Thanks Lars
Sony Experia, plus  sunny evening on the Cardigan Bay, West Wales

Looks like a very cozy moment!

And to go with the bubbly?     Fish & chips, eaten on the beach!

The budget didn't stretch to either a DSLR or a swanky restaurant
