This one's a Kodachrome from 1979. Nice shot, you've done well to suppress that big pesky white cloud while bringing out the DR in the shadows - I'm guessing there was a fair bit of dodging and burning? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lori Rider 83 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Also working through old files--not as old as 1979 though. 😉 This is Breithorn in Switzerland--taken from the passenger seat of the car. Link to post Share on other sites

cbimages 749 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Went to visit a reasonably nearby flying fox camp late last week. It was challenging due to recent rain events and flooding. The mosquitoes nearly carried me off, as I prefer not to use bug spray when trying to get up close and personal with wildlife. This lovely bat posed prettily for me. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I rather like the smell of bat pee, and realise it's a fact of life if I want decent photos. I did have to wash everything I had on, including my shoes, once we came home though. And there was a rather "pungent" smell in the shower when I was washing my hair! Sadly, the area was still very muddy with some parts having a few inches of water from recent floods and I was very scared of falling and getting water in camera or lens, so I didn't get to some of the better parts where I like to photograph. But I had been waiting to go looking for mums & pups. I only found a couple and not getting any sun, so photos are almost black. But the weather here has been so bad for most of December that I couldn't go earlier. I'll be out of action from late next week as having hand surgery....so no lifting the camera for a while, sadly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You're a dedicated wildlife photographer. It's a good feeling. Do you realise you have found the perfect weapon for the 1.5m social distancing? Bats pee!! Good luck with your op, knowing you you'll be up and running in no time at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Gen, if you're ever around Coffs Harbour way, let me know if you would like a bit of bat pee in your lovely hair. If we're not travelling somewhere (in my dreams!!), we can head off for some fun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Colin Woods 821 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Me and my pal Fabrice went out shooting in a blizzard that passed here last weekend. It was hilarious 0 the wind was so strong we were being buffeted all over the place. The weather man says that the wind got to 90km/h - I can believe it. Facing into the wind was like being sandblasted. Luckily it wasn't cold so even with the considerable windchill (more like roaringhurricanechill) it was about the -15 mark. Here, in action, is Fabrice by the tripod waiting to shoot between gusts with the horizontal snow blasting us. Edited January 23 by Colin Woods 6 Link to post Share on other sites

MizBrown 637 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Two older submitted last week: one reworked, per suggestions from one of the old pros, one that I had to do some cropping and patching on, and a recent one of a coleus in bloom: Reworked, third version. This half grown kitten showed up, wanting to join my household. She's now Maude, my acrobat despite being blind in one eye. The former owner is my landlord's son, who was pretty much okay with the kitten's decision. Here she was watching my dog and first cat, neither of which were particularly interested in having her move in. She hates being alone. Photoshop reduced the camera shake. Coleus blooms. One other horizontal, this one portrait. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Betty LaRue 3,289 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Least Chipmunk. An image revisited from a trip in 2006. On the way toward the west coast, we stopped at a rest stop in Wyoming. The tourists were feeding these cuties, who were scampering around on large boulders. I’m sure they were probably fed things that weren’t that healthy, like this slice of bread. But the livin’ was easy. The Sonoran desert with Saguaro cacti in Arizona. 2006 trip also. What PP I can do with today’s software is amazing compared to then. 3 Edited January 25 by Betty LaRue Typo 2 Link to post Share on other sites
