Lloyd superb work here, and very fun pictures. You really seem to have this new D3s of yours dialed in these days. Great color, dynamic range et al!

Matt love the second bear photo, have never seen this sort of "head shot" before. Well done!

Lloyd, this set is just outstanding. And i'll second Rob's remarks on the technical side. Impressive. Re the specific shots, while agreeing with Hermann on the last one, my personal favorite, for the full composition enhanced with geometric elements and proportions, sense of levity, rich colors, but before all for the great relative place of Smokey and our friend from base 51. Not only a splendid photo, but lot of fun, too. :toocool: :thumbs:

(great text, too)



Jorgen: don't really know what to say other than before: amazing panning shots. Big Cola is my favorite -and not only because of the technical mastery involved.



Matt: no Roswell fellow, and different kind of Smokey's here. First one's real good, but... this second one is absolutely awesome. Movement, expression, composition, colors, detail; everything's spot on. Nat Geo material or even better, seriously. I want a print. In fact, the whole family wants a print.

(how could you have overlooked this one till now btw?)

Balloonist's Prayer

May the winds welcome you with softness.
May the sun bless you with its warm hands.
May you fly so high and so well that God
joins you in laughter and sets you gently
back into the loving arms of Mother Earth.









From the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally last weekend. All with the D3s, 28-70/2.8
Awesome & Amen Brotha!

Hi Matt, great work on these. I especially like this one's facial expression and tilted head. It provides a sense of his, ur, personality. Really nice.

Lloyd, love the color on these, but this last one satisfies my eye the best - the strong center of interest with a that levitational sense of depth is super. Great work.

John, wonderfully composed, love the movement, the angle, the characters and shadows, the colors, the beam... everything, really. Spectacular photo!

And Happy 4th to all! :)

Matt: Love both of them! The somehow subdued colors and the contrast are perfect in those (for my taste at least). And both of them capture great bearish "poses" :thumbs: .
Hermann: Thanks. :D I've been working on my pp a bit. Lot's to learn.

Matt, you should print a blurb of these bears. write a small story for kids to go along.
I think there could be benefit for all from this excellent collection.:thumbs:
And thanks, partner.
Rayyan: Thank you. Actually, I am "blurbing"; which is one of the reasons i'm going through the files and reprocessing.

Rob: Thanks! :D Good positioning with the zodiac.

Oh Yeah!:thumbs:
Matt - great Grizzly photos - love them both!
Cheers,
Steve/Joe: Gentlemen, thank you. :D

Got A New Toy! I splurged and purchased one of those $275 650-2600mm lenses. Although this was a "party" weekend (no treks into the mountains), I was able to take some time to learn the lens. This is of the Athens lighthouse taken on the Hudson River in Athens, NY. (approx. 1/4 to 1/2 mile distance).
