MDSue Posted May 8, 2011 #752 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Great Pileated Woodpecker capture! Thanks, I was so thrilled that this one stayed around for a long time while I was taking his (or her) picture. I'm hoping they will return. I saw babies on the same tree last year just as they were leaving the nest, but I couldn't get good shots. I'm hoping there will be another chance this year.

TheRoff Posted May 12, 2011 #757 Share Posted May 12, 2011 My wife and I spent a few hours at the Gettysburg battlefield area yesterday. A fascinating and moving place. The first is looking south from Plum Run to the Peach Orchard, and the second is the statue of General Warren on the summit of Little Round Top. Gettysburg is only a little over an hour's drive from our home and we will visit it more often. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted May 14, 2011 Author #759 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Very nice Larry! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoff Posted May 15, 2011 #760 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks for the compliment, Dave. We just took a quick afternoon trip up there and were moved and impressed. I was also embarrassed with my relative lack of knowledge about the battle. That will be remedied, and there will be future visits. Here is a gallery I have started.

dileep Posted May 16, 2011 #761 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We arrive May 11 and leave on the cruise on May 13. Our full day in Seattle shows 96% precip. :( I hope your weather guessers are like ours. If they are then we will probably have a bright, sunshiney day. :rolleyes: Looks like the 12th and 13th were sunny! Hope you enjoyed your short stay in Seattle.

Robin7 Posted May 16, 2011 #762 Share Posted May 16, 2011 My husband gave me a new lens for my Canon 40D for Mother's Day, a Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.8. I haven't had anything with that kind of depth of field in a loooooooooooong time. So I tired it out at my kids' rank advancement test for their martial arts studio yesterday. I took about 300 pix. I was happy with about 10 of them. :o Gotta practice! Now I need a new version of Photoshop Elements and a class about how to use it!

Ravi09 Posted May 16, 2011 #764 Share Posted May 16, 2011 My family went for a dinner last weekend at the 360 Restaurant located at the top of the CN Tower in downtown Toronto to celebrate my son's 1st communion. Everyone really enjoyed the food. Oven Roasted Boneless Half Chicken "Piri Piri" Pan Seared Fillet of Apple Wood Smoked Atlantic Salmon Maple Walnut Roulade with Candied Walnut Meringue After we came home, my wife and I are talking how we really missed to have a dinner like this every night on our 1st cruise last month aboard the Radiance of the Seas :).

Debathome Posted May 19, 2011 #766 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ravi, beautiful photos! I live withing walking distance of the park but I've been on a cruise these past few weeks. I certainly hope I haven't missed all the blossoms. With all the rain we've had, everything is so lush and green right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debathome Posted May 19, 2011 #767 Share Posted May 19, 2011 A few of mine taken on a very rainy day in Astoria last week. I have only a nice little point and shoot which suits me fine but I love all of the photos and effects that you guys achieve with your skill and camera.

I have only a nice little point and shoot which suits me fine but I love all of the photos and effects that you guys achieve with your skill and camera. And what exactly is wrong with these pictures? To me it supports my belief that the camera is not the important factor in the photo equation.... Nicely done! Dave PS. I liked the old dock pilings too!

Debathome Posted May 19, 2011 #770 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thank you. :) I am usually intimidated to post on these threads since you are all such fab photographers but it is nice to be able to share and get feedback here. Dave, the water had some interesting dock pilings along the way. here are a few more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the B&W processing you did on all the pics and the 3rd is my favorite of the 3. Unless you are taking a fast action scenes, any point & shoot camera can rival images taken with a DSLR. It's all in the operator not the equipment.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mother nature. The only photo shot in B&W is the first pic of the trees and the other`s were not processed at all. That`s the kind of dark and dreary day it was! Believe it or not, the bridge photo is in colour. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of an interesting quote that someone uses as their signature in another photography discussion forum..."That was an excellent meal. You must have really nice pots and pans!". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
