    Post your Birds in Flight

    We have 2 kinds of Gulls here. (or at least that is how many I know about and seen) The black and white kind which are numerous , and these tan brownish looking ones, that are much less in numbers. These are my favorite ones.

    Reasons why I "like" a photograph.

    Looking at photos throughout these forums for almost the past 2 years, I clicked the "like" button many times. At first I would click it because most of the shots were much better then mine having just started out. After a while I would get to know a few people and would click "like" on their...

    Blacktop's 366 day trip through 2016

    Day 15 We have some wood and copper knick knacks hanging on the bathroom wall. Took the wagon wheel shot and used the "twirl" tool in PS, then took the cowboy shot, selected out the cowboy from the background and blended it in with the twirl. Pretty simple really. + =

    Post your latest purchases.

    Did some shopping at Adorama. The bag was 40 dollars off. Normally I only buy 16 Gig cards, but the 32 Gig 2 pack was the same price as the 16Gig 2 pack.

    Blacktop's 366 day trip through 2016

    Thanks. Going to try this method. On some shots like architecture I actually like the "bow distortion" effect but not on landscapes. Also I found that most times PS does a better job at stitching, but MS-ICE does a better job at filling in parts. @480sparky mentioned before that he uses a...

    Day 13. Still in it with clouds. :indecisiveness: What did I learn today? Don't start anything that you're probably not going to finish . (but I already knew that).

    Blacktop's 366 day trip through 2016

    Day 12 Didn't do much shooting today. As a matter of fact I only snapped 2 shots this evening while waiting at the can house (where they make empty Coke cans to be filled at the plant)to make a pickup. It was really just to fulfill my 366 commitment. I guess there will be days like that...

    Yes I do. The light seals are eating up all the fish and won't leave any for the birds. No birds=shooting barns.

    Nikon or Nikkor

    What is the correct terminology for lenses made by Nikon? Is it Nikkor for all lenses or just the older ones? I could have Googled this by the time I typed it out, but I'm an engaging people person.:cheerful:

    Post your sunset shots

    Pulled over to wet the tires and take this sunset shot. Some kind of a weird swirling happening back there. I didn't do anything in PS to it. That is the way it looked.

    Post your barns and rural structures.

    I posted this same barn earlier last year with a big cornfield in front of it. The cornfield is now gone, replaced by leftover flood waters. Makes a nice reflection shot.

    Blacktop's 366 day trip through 2016

    Day 11 I went back and forth with today's shot whether to post the color or the B&W version of it. I kind of like the latter . (You can find the color version in the post your barns forum if you're interested.)
