Day 71 Fired off a few today including repeat of day 70 which I want to do in photoshop tonight so no time to daily. Therefore I present to you Charley (female in 35mm Prime mode) who would not play ball and move away from that distraction in the background. Because of her whiskers removing the...

Once in a life time shot. Chicago sky line reflected on water from above the clouds with iPhone apparently. Breathtaking Photo

Day 70 Ted showed some photos using his 35mm 1.8 so I whipped my 35mm out and took a few with it today. Had forgotten how cool the DoF is. Note to self: *must use this lens more often*

Those are awesome @fotojack. @crashton and Horoscope Fish thanks for the tips. Going to work on the RAW a bit to get it looking better. Reading your comments I did really well (even if only the back wheel was in focus :)) as the light was minimal and preparation time was like 20 seconds from...

Day 69 Quick one today as I want to play with Elements 11 later. While I am doing that you lot can have a slice of my Gluten Free Bread. The best looking loaf I have managed so far but won't know what it tastes like till it has cooled down. This is about my 5th recipe to improve from the...

I'd really like some feedback on this photo taken after sunset. I hadn't ever tried a really fast panning before and saw this biker approaching from some distance. I was in manual in Single point focus. I like the photo but not sure if it has any technical merit so will leave that to feedback...

Yesterday don't matter if it's gone ...

Day 68 Full on day of photography today with a heap of variety. Will process and post the OK ones some other time - just too tired to do much tonight Here is a small sample: The entire day was about changing lenses and settings to shoot a variety of shots. All quite tiring after 10...

Thanks guys. The previous photo was all about PSE11 this one is out of camera and the only change was a slight crop and small colour enhancement. A rusty gutter (0r spouting as they call in New Zealand) I just loved the colours to start with - all the blues, the yellow and the rust +++ the...

Day 67 Well what can I say? It is really hard to single out individuals when everyone on here has been so encouraging but I want to say a thank you to Scott Murray and @wud who have both been on my case to "improve your post processing - just keep at it" and Jake @BackdoorHippie who propelled...

Thanks for these @Jonathan - they are pretty neat photos and I am convinced. I must just remember that these were with the 2X TC on your D7100 camera whereas I am looking at a 1.4 x on the D5100 I can't go too far wrong.

Just came up on my Facebook 40 Must-See Photos From The Past. #5 Is Insane.

Need advice on which to get for my gear (see signature for what I have) I seem to remember (remembering is quite a feat these days!) reading somewhere that the 2X loses too many stops so something less may be the option. And do I have to by Nikon to fit my nikon camera/lens combo. Dumb huh?

My best attempt yet IMO also posted in my 365

Day 66 Aren't the days just whizzing by? And now I need to recreate my watermark brush which I had saved in a place that I cannot find.

Day 65 Don't go believing New Zealand has no snakes. There are these "seed pod" snakes all over our lawn and kerb at the moment.

Following on @MoabMan and @MoabLady 's visit to Yellowstone recently I think this video will be of interest. I certainly found it interesting and a s a great believer of leaving nature to nature it reinforces my beliefs. I have seen a much longer documentary on this too whereas this video is...

More for 64 - just for my own interest These shots reminded me of an error I keep perpetuating. Note to self: I should use a much faster shutter speed to lower the ISO I intend redoing them tomorrow to see if I am right.

Day 64 Well I tried something different today. The idea was to see if I could freeze a flipped coin but still show the movement. Well after setting up the tripod and trying to do this in front of the camera with timer release and a flash I realised I was wasting my time. A different plan was...

Day 63 Well I was running late with my photo today because I left cooking to the last minute. I made a chicken and corn pie. Recipe here. However the news came on at the wrong time - although it has come on at the same time every night since Adam - and I took my eye off the oven. This photo...
