Last one .. by J Kirk Friederich
I shot this in my back yard with D300 500mm / 1/350sec f/6.7 ISO800 North Vancouver BC Canada The Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) is a small hummingbird, about 8 cm long with a long, straight and very slender bill. The female is slightly larger than the male. The adult male, shown in the photo, has a white breast, rufous face, upperparts, flanks and tail and an iridescent orange-red throat patch (gorget). Some males have some green on back and/or crown. The female has green upperparts, white underparts, some iridescent orange feathers in the center of the throat, and a dark tail with white tips and rufous base. Females and the rare green-backed males are extremely difficult to differentiate from Allen’s Hummingbird. Their breeding habitat is open areas and forest edges in western North America from southern Alaska to California. This bird nests further north than any other hummingbird. The female builds a nest in a protected location in a shrub or conifer. The male aggressively defends feeding locations within his territory. The same male may mate with several females. / They are migratory, many of them migrating through the Rocky Mountains and nearby lowlands in July and August to take advantage of the wildflower season there. They may stay in one spot for considerable time, in which case the migrants, like breeding birds, often aggressively take over and defend feeding locations. Most winter in wooded areas in the Mexico state of Guerrero, traveling over 2,000 miles by an overland route from its nearest summer home—a prodigious journey for a bird weighing only three or four grams.

Waterburst by billyboy
This is actually done on film, then the negative scanned to Photoshop. No post processing was used for the final image. / Camera: Canon EOS 100 / Film: Fuji Reala (100 asa) / Lens: EF 100 mm Macro / Aperture: f 11 / Shutter: 1/125 sec. / Shot this with self timer counting down to zero, at which precise moment I burst the water balloon with a pin. Took 10 frames to be sure, and this is the only one where all the elements came together. Did it out on our pattio in front of a sheet of blue paper. Never got so soaked in my life.

Tilt by Peter Hill
Some may disagree, but there are some shots a Lensbaby has to give way to true tilt+shift. This single RAW image has not been manipulated or played with in Photoshop et al. What you see is what I got, over 220 seconds using my previously-neglected 24mm f3.5L tilt+shift lens on the Canon 5D Mark II. Shot at the same spot on the same day as Eternal Watershine Of The Spotless Kind, deep in the Valley of the Waters, Blue Mountains National Park.

Dawn Silhouettes Across The Yarra by David McMahon
The warm, rich colours here – and the palm fronds on the right – might suggest that this was a summer landscape. But it was shot on a crisp, cold winter morning in Melbourne in late June this year. Yes, winter envelops our country-continent while the rest of you are enjoying summer! I stood, practically transfixed, on Princes Bridge here in Melbourne. It was like watching Nature’s version of Joseph’s coat of many colours. Those faint dots in the sky are seagulls, wheeling in giant arcs through an amazing skyscape above the Yarra River. Fortunately, my standard lens is a Sigma 18-125mm, which gives me sufficient focal length to capture one specific area of a landscape. Yes, I had a 70-300mm lens in my camera bag, but I knew I wouldn’t need it. Most of the frames in the sequence that I shot for the next 30 minutes would have been in the range of 80-125mm. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/60 sec, ISO 200, focal length 34mm. Featured in IMAGE WRITING, November 2009.

Hawai’i is the newest landmass in Polynesia and the most isolated settled area on the globe, rife with unique ecosystems. Maui, sitting in the middle of the main Hawaiian island chain, is young geologically. Haleakala, still volcanically active in the 18th century and now considered dormant, rises 10,023 feet. The older and more eroded West Maui Mountains are 1.3 million years old. The tallest point at Pu’u Kukui – 5,788 feet – is one of the rainiest spots on earth. Ka’anapali is on the leeward side of these mountains of West Maui on the slopes facing the islands of Lana’i, visible on the horizon in this image and the beautiful island of Moloka’i.” Information Source Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 30 September 2009 / This is a composite of two images taken on the same location at the same time stitched one over the other / Currently with 2826 Views

GRAZING by Sandy Stewart
A young Mule Deer Buck can be seen taking a break from the hot sun, foraging for grasses in a lovely grassy shady area along a hillside. The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) gets its name from its large mule like ears. The Mule Deer can be found in the western half of North America. / Mule deer prefer to eat high amounts of fresh grass. Mule deer rarely travel far from water or forage, and tend to bed down within easy walking distance of both. Young mule deer tend to forage together in family groups while bucks tend to travel alone or with other bucks. Most actively foraging around dawn and dusk, they tend to bed down in protected areas mid-day, but will also forage at night in more open agricultural areas, during full moons, or when pressured by hunters. Repeated beds will often be scratched level, about the size of a washtub. Temporary beds will seem little more than flattened grassy grounds. The Mule Deer on average, stand 101 to 106 cms(40 to 42 in) at the shoulders and is 203 cms( 80 in) or so from nose to tail. An adult buck will weigh from 68-136 kgs (150 to 300 lbs) on the hoof, with does averaging 56.6 to 79 kgs (125 to 175 lbs). The occasional trophy-sized mule deer buck may weigh in around 226.7 kgs (500 lbs). “PHOTO INFORMATION” Taken on July 18/09 at 4:20pm in Yellowstone National Park, US. / Taken in Raw, Adobe RGB and aperture priority. / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon EF 100-400 L IS USM lens. / Tripod; Manfrotto, including joystick head / Take at 1/400s, at f/8, 220mm, man col bal 6050 kelvin, iso 800. / Histogram adjustment, lab mode sharpening, lightness channel, unsharpmask ( amount 20 radius 5, threshold 1).

Aloalo ~ Tropical Hibiscus by Sharon Mau
A fresh Hibiscus blossom unfolds at dawn in Ha’iku / Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image was taken in early morning natural light with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with no post processing Featured May 2009 The Woman Photographer This image is also offered as a Postage Stamp / and as a Magnet SOLD / 2x Laminated Print: Aloalo ~ Tropical Hibiscus / Medium / Black Border with Artist’s Details / It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days.

Solve This Puzzle: What Is This Mystery Object? by David McMahon
Put your thinking caps on …. what have I shot here? It might look like the world’s biggest bar code, but it ain’t! Let’s have some theories from all you sleuths out there …. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F11, 1/500 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm.
About This Group
This group where you can share your expertise and perhaps learn from others. Post your photograph and list the detail on the image of how it was created: i.e the camera, time of day, location, lens, speed, how it was post edited. In doing this others looking at the group can get Ideas about how to better themselves at photography.
We are particularly interested in complex shots such as high light or low light environments, fast aperture or long aperature etc or those with interesting post editing.
If you would like detail feedback bubble mail me. I’m getting bussy lately due to new obligations. I still don’t follow other groups that make you wait for approval and make limits photography is not about limits but braking the limits set by others.
Lifes rule one is learn something new every day.
rule two share what you know to others.
