+1 for first shot. Very nice. I need to get out and shoot.

I think Randy's getting all the good weather for shooting.

OK no birds, here are two I took this morning, same old view but I never get tired of it!

Nice shots guys!

Rich is that Disco? Nice fog shot.

Walt excellent flowing water, really like the DOF in #3.

Keep them coming, and remember no birds

Great shots everyone!!

Love the water shots Walt. I can't wait to see some green in my neck of the woods. I'm tired of all this snow and dead trees.

Here's a few from the other night.

Rich,
Around 20-30 seconds with a ND filter.

(dirwoody) · (dirwoody) **Join Date: Apr 2003** 02-05-2010, 3:57 PM

Walt, how thick of an ND were you using? I'm gonna be picking up a few of these and don't know how far to go. .6, .9, 1.2, or beyond?

(Walt) · (Walt) **Join Date: Jan 2003** 02-05-2010, 4:08 PM

Darin,
I'm using a 1.8 but I wish I had bought a darker one. I can't slow things down as much as I'd like in full sun.

Thanks Walt!
Now I gotta figure out if I'm getting the 5 or 7D!

(bradlovellphotography)

Thanks Walt. The first 2 are from a local college in my home town. University of Virginia's College at Wise. The last shot is the local City Hall.

Here is a little photo I took during a video shoot yesterday (Friday)

Having the ability to snap frames while shooting video on the 7d is AWESOME!

Barry,
The second shot is outstanding and has a 3-d look to it. I bet the high-res file is GREAT.

Both of those were shot through a Stellarvue SV 102 refractor with a piggyback Celsstron Onyx 80ED that was used as a guidescope.The guide camera is an Orion Starshoot guider and it's all mounted on an Orion EQ-G equatorial mount. The actual camera used to collect the data is an SBIG ST-2000XM monochrome with a CFW-8 filter wheel(LRGB+hydrogen alpha filter)
I'm shooting tonight so I'll take a picture of my get-up and post it once it's set-up.

(wakedad33) · (wakedad33) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 02-11-2010, 8:25 PM

Thanks Barry, now I understand completely

. Love to see a shot of the equipment.

(barry) · (barry) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 02-11-2010, 8:34 PM

Sorry, Randy... I sort of put up the names of the equipment in case someone wanted to look them up.
Anything specific you'd like to know?

Holy astrophotography Barry! Looks like a sweet setup!

Walt nice pics as usual

Randy nice shots too - the one of the river you posted on the 5th makes me want to break out my flyrod and waders!

Heading to the mountain with my 9YO in the morning I guess I need to not be so lazy and haul my gear as I have yet to take any shots of her snowboarding yet this year, and the grandparents are getting pissed.

Randy each shot from Bend that you post makes me want to move there more and more. That area is just awesome

Thanks Nick, It is a pretty cool place, I feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.

I'm going to shoot a snowboard contest here next weekend so hopefully I will have something else to post besides landscapes & birds

Nothing crazy (except a 32oz can of Monster), but a few recent ones that I liked.

Looks like the 7D is working pretty good Peter.

Rich I really like the depth in the 3rd shot.

Sean, I like #1 with the sunset, Greece would be such a cool place to visit.

Good shots everyone.

Thanks Randy that's what f1.4 will get you. Nice angle on the OR bridge shot Pete. Carrying on with Walt's theme:

Great shots Rich, really like the cabin/shed shot.

How are you liking Aperture 3? Worth the upgrade from 2?

(richd) · (richd) **Join Date: Oct 2003** 02-16-2010, 8:36 AM

Definitely worth the upgrade. The new adjustment brushes give it "layer" like functionality. Plus they've added a curves adjustment brick and 2 new adjustments called "polarize" and "intensify". Aperture now supports video files as well with trimming and markers.

Rich, I like the barn shot.
