Alex: Great photos! Are the ribbons on the tree patterned after military service ribbons for WWII? Cheers, Matt.Today is probably our greatest holiday - Great Victory Holiday (9th May). My grandfathers were at this war. For the last 65 years there has been parade every 9th May on the Red Sq. in Moscow. Anyone can't go there and there are no tickets to parade. That's all by invitation. But once a year I can see the aviation flying over my house (well, not only ):
Tim: An interesting problem. It would seem hard to make the apple trees stand out from the woods behind. I'm sure you tried it when they were all in bloom? Please share the "right shot" with us.This has become something of a project for me. It's a group of six apple trees standing in a field across from the cemetery. I have to figure out the right shooting position and time of day to highlight their unique stature in the field.
This doesn't make it, but serves as another failed experiment that will point to a solution. I'm determined to find the right shot. The good news is, it's not far from the house and I can go when the mood hits.
Vivek: Unique photo. I'll have to study your Nikon Gear thread a little more. Cheers, MattA different kind of a portrait.
D40x, Sigma 30/1.4 1/20s, f/1.4 ISO1600. Reflected Ultraviolet light capture.
This was a test shot from a latest dedicated UV cam I did. My first one (now dead) was the first of its kind anywhere (http://www.flickr.com/photos/vivek-iyer/2807133866/in/set-72157600032172823/). Quite possibly second such camera.
I made this converted UV cam was for Bjørn Rørslett.
Nice shot, Jorgen, but the reds do look a bit orange on my monitor.Still too much to do, but here's one from Saturday. The colours on my internet computer is totally off, but I hope the photo looks ok. Their uniforms are supposed to be white and red, not white and orange. Can somebody confirm that they look white and red?
D80 with 80-200 AF-S @ 80mm and f/2.8
Worth the wait, Aboudd. Very, very nice.Trying to photography Jefferson's statue during tourist season in a major bitch. I found the angle I wanted quickly, then waited. First, about a half an hour for a group with three baby carriages on the bench behind the statue to leave. They were followed by forty-three buses filled with tourists of all sizes, ages and mobility factors. Finally, after 90 minutes, as the sun edge light the president, I got this shot.
