LSP 60 Posted March 18, 2019 Continuing on the backyard wildlife theme, this white-lipped green treefrog (world's biggest frog) splatted onto my kitchen window, taking an interest in meal prep. S/he is so beautiful, assume they live in the trees outside, long may s/he reign! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc 1,612 Posted March 18, 2019 14 hours ago, gvallee said: With the crocuses (?) in the back, you managed to lessen the drama of what's going on. And well done for the eye level angle, very effective. I also had a sparrowhawk in my garden. I shot quickly through thick windows because the poor victim had a friend in the background pretending to have a broken wing, trying to lure the attacker away. I was thinking of entering it in the "Eating" competition but thought it was too gruesome. Here is a milder one. Thanks Gen - praise indeed from an expert - the bird was towards the back of the garden - this was also taken through glass as I think it would have flown off - Canon 7D2 with 100-400mm at 400mm, making an overall equivalent focal length of 650mm and also cropped a bit - so given that, it was not difficult to be at eye level! The crocuses are growing on the grave of one of our cats Kumar ps. tend to agree the first is a bit gruesome for the competition!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MilesbeforeIsleep 55 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) An Irish (I assume) Lass in downtown Charlotte (NC) St. Patrick Day festival. ===== Ah! Was called out by a very earnest fellow. I didn't think to ask if I had to commit all these sins, or if only one was sufficient. They were in front of a kind of beer garden (actually a packed parking lot), so I assume he was concentrating on drunkenness. He obviously has no Irish blood.

Autumn Sky 163 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Castillo Del Morro Fort on Entrance to Santiago De Cuba Bay: Stitch of 3 frames. Spent some time in PS as photo was taken around noon (timing was not my choice) & light was not good. An interesting fact: They try to extort money from you in Cuba whenever they can. So you pay for entrance to the fort, and then -- you have to pay additional fee if you want to take photos! Otherwise you have to check your camera at the entrance which is just inside that bridge center right. Edited March 19, 2019 by Autumn Sky 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Brooks 1,159 Posted March 20, 2019 Cold clear misty high overcast softbox sky making everything white. Set Clarity setting to a negative value making the swans look softer and whiter. When we printed B&W in the darkroom we would call this a hi key shot. Mostly white with a very little black for contrast. Processed two versions and uploaded them both. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starsphinx 392 Posted March 22, 2019 Took this during that spell of unseasonal wonderful weather trying to catch the glory of a Hazel tree in full bloom against the other bushes yet to blossom. Actually had trouble finding other shots of similar whole trees in the database which surprises me - they stand out so well early on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
