by: davet47

Description: There were several of these but none were close, so big crop, even with 70-300 +1.4x TC. My first time out in months-trying to get some sense of (new) reality after the death of my wife in April. I'm finding it hard to do things like this where she would be with me.

Meet the Riders 2024

by: marydoll

Description: First time out with the camera in weeks. Never thought I could make it to NW200 Meet the Riders this year, but managed a few shots last Friday. Sad thing is, if I'd stayed at home I'd have been rested for the biggest show of the Northern Lights!! After standing in the afternoon, my legs refused to let me go out at night!!!

Description: In image that Stan recently published here, reminded me about this images, so I had the share it. My image was made at the Johnson Sculpture Garden in Trenton, NJ USA. I made this picture 10 years ago using a digital camera that was not very good. But the image is worth sharing, because of the surprise.

by: PaulieT

Description: Mother nature did not cooperate during the eclipse today, where I live in eastern Pennsylvania. Clouds rolled in when the sun was about 1/4 covered. So, after waiting for a long time for a clearing, I slowed the shutter to 1.3 seconds and made this image through the cloud layer.
