BREATHTAKING!!
Absolutely!
Guys, thank you, thank you and thank you.:salute::thumbs: too
Gary, lovely composition. Great colors and contrast.:thumbup:I meant to provide some comments about all the fine images you folks have shared here before I posted another one of my own (because I know how much I appreciate your comments on my images)....but I'm just going to post one more, before I draw a firm line in the sand.
I took this one on the way home from work tonight. Swung by the Alaska RR Station and the light on this totem pole was just right. This photo was taken with the AF-S 16-85mm lens. I'm trying to take as many photos with this lens as possible this week....just to be sure it's a keeper. This one only reinforces my view that...yes, it is.

+3 here!:thumbs: too
Yup. These multiplicity shots are always a lot of fun :thumbup:Very kewl, Carlos. Perfectly executed.
Thanks Corlan.....Nice again Gary.
Just wondering... How big is the totem pole?
Rayyan: Thanks! The cuddly teddy bear was about 15-30' away. It varied. Not so cuddly mama was right there too. There was, also, always a bit of water between us. Worse comes to worse and the guide has some pepper spray. I don't think he's ever needed it.Matt, congrats on the D700. Enjoy it for a long long time pal.
Thanks. But I think my spending days are fast ending..fastttt!
Now this furry thing, how close is this? If it attacks what do you do? Do you
have A stun gun or something?
If it ran towards me, I would freeze and maybe wet the ground!
The Photo is super!:thumbs:
Lloyd: Thank you! It's fun finding all of these images that i "passed up" the first time through.Indeed yes!! On all counts. :thumbup::thumbs:
Bishop: +1!. :thumbup:The previous one may have a bit more impact and "art feel".
The light in the one just above is less dramatic, but might be technically more accomplished. What's the exposure time? Contrast though relative sharpness (tree, ducks) gives a strong sense of motion.
In both instances the square format is a an interesting choice.
So's the subtle processing, quite appropriate and conveying serenity.
Really like both :thumbup:
Jorgen: Your race track photos are always entertaining and excellent. :thumbup: Not too many women in red and white with stilletto heels around here. (insert "cry")D80 with 80-200 AF-S @ 100mm and f/4.0
Gary: Beautiful images. Great IQ. :thumbup: My wife is from Anchorage, originally. Some day, I'll make it further North then Ketchikan. I'm enjoying your posts and "lens tests". (insert thumbsup) I rented a SigmaThanks for the kind words everyone. This thread is much more active than the Canon images thread and I want to take some time to comment on many of the fine images post here....very soon!
Until then, here are just a few from my photo outing and tests today. I wanted to take some more shots with the AF-S 16-85G lens, in order to make a decision on keeping it or not. I also wanted to try a few other AIS lenses. Here are two from the 16-85G, similar to those I took with the 55mm Micro Nikkor yesterday. Also, one with the AIS 135mm f2.8 lens.
I've decided the AF-S 16-85 is a keeper....and I continue to be impressed with the performance of those AIS lenses on the D2X. Very happy indeed!

Rayyan: I really like it! I have no idea what it is? I see gauges, watches, keys, towels, blurred movement?
Vlad: Nicely captured! Thanks for sharing. :salute:A bit of journalistic photography. Last night around 12:30am.

Rayyan: Just goes to show, i should read ahead. That still seems like an odd agglomeration (My word for the day; I had to use it in a sentence )Thanks a lot Guys.:salute:

Regards.
Rayyan: It is "breathtaking" (I read ahead this time; no caps, because, I had more time to compose myself then Lloyd ). Nice crop and creative pp. :thumbup:

Carlos: +1, I agree. Great mix of "poses". :thumbup:Very kewl, Carlos. Perfectly executed.
Don't know anything about them poles, but they sure look interesting. Looking forward for more info and visuals, GaryThanks Corlan.....
This is one of the smaller totem poles in Anchorage, probably about 12 feet tall. There are a pair of these totems standing across the road from the Alaska Railroad station, facing the station. Each is composed of only two figures (atop one another). Once I've taken some time to comment on other images here, I will post an image of the full size totems. There are quite a few totem poles in Anchorage, many in front of government buildings or office buildings owned by Alaska Native corporations. To my eyes, they are fascinating works of art, culture and story telling.
Gary
P.S. Couldn't resist.....here's the top of the second totem pole. I wish I knew the story behind these figures. (So much for a firm line in the sand).
pepper spray? :shocked: :thumbdown:Rayyan: Thanks! The cuddly teddy bear was about 15-30' away. It varied. Not so cuddly mama was right there too. There was, also, always a bit of water between us. Worse comes to worse and the guide has some pepper spray. I don't think he's ever needed it.
Every time i look at the bottom of that paw, i want to touch it. :loco:
Cheers, Matt.
