I've had good luck catching some lightning this year. This is my best one so far

Entry #1: Pelicans on the Green River

Here's one I shot of a rusty old water tower. Using the HDR function on my D600 with the differential set to 3 EV. In my limited experience, seems like overcast days lend themselves better to HDR.

Entry #1 Ladies of the Zombie Prom D600, 24-85 @24mm, ISO 200, 1/200 w/flash, f5.6

Damn, sorry you had to find out about Instargram. It makes everyone with a cell phone think they are a photographer now, albeit one using a Kodak 110 from 1972 I'm thinking it might be good for real photogs tho, because it's very simple to show them what an actual pro-pic might look like...

Howdy fellow Nikonites! Been snooping on this forum for the past couple months while trying to decide which DSLR to buy. Figured I should join after finally deciding on the D600. Thank you to everyone on this forum for all the great insights and examples that helped me decide on this wonderful...
