And here are a couple more photos. I think this first one was taken near that archway where so many of us converged at once or it was immediately thereafter. And here is another shot of those zodiac sculptures. It was very difficult to get a shot with lots of the sculptures without people...

Here are a couple of my fountain shots. And I shot this one from the bottom of a set of stairs looking upwards.

I definitely prefer your perspective of this over my own! Nice job!!! :)

Just having a little fun! ;) One of the competitors vying for a shot! BITE ME!!!

I had to do a double-take when I saw this:

Surprisingly I received my camera back from service tonight. When I first spoke with a supervisor about the camera still having oil spots, I was told to send it back, and Nikon would identify whatever was causing the oil and replace it. Sounds good, doesn't it? Except nothing was replaced at...

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings Don, here is one more. I did it really quick so the framing isn't great. The gradient option(s) at the end allows you to create the background color. You can choose the direction of the shading by selecting radial, linear, angle, reflected, etc. I used multiple...

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings Don, I used one of my photos to show you the stylize option (shades the edge of the photo) as well as having added a few gradient options.

Interesting! I played flute and piccolo throughout high school and college but neither heard nor played one of these. I believe it is some type of pan flute--aka panpipes. Here is an image taken from the internet. Some people may be more familiar with seeing panpipes this way: The above image...

If you have any photos of Bucks County, PA to share, please feel free to post them in this thread. Quite often the tourism for Bucks County, PA advertises it as Scenic Bucks County. When the leaves change, it can get quite beautiful especially if there isn't a Nor'easter that rolls through...

Has anyone ever tried using an intensifier filter on a DSLR? It is specifically designed to help pop fall colors. I have one that fits an older 35mm lens, and it was incredible to use with film. I don't use that lens anymore, but since I still have both the lens and the filter, I'll have to get...

This concrete/stone cross is beautifully crafted and stands at one end of this cemetary. The church building reminds me of something out of a fairy tale the way it is designed.

The other day after reading Nikon's comment even large amounts of camera movement are compensated for to give a smooth viewfinder image, I decided to give the active VR setting a try. I have chronic tendonitis in both forearms (with surgery on one) and quite often when I use the normal VR...

Does this count? I was attracted to the red tree although it lost some of its leaves already. Some of our leaves are just beginning to change now. I *think* the domed building is the capital building in Trenton.

When Amazon is out of stock on an item, sometimes they offer the item for a lower price until it comes back in stock. Although Amazon is out of Photomatix Pro 4 at the moment (regularly $99), it is available for $77.52 and will ship when in stock.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous yesterday when I decided to go for a walk on the top of this retaining wall. Please notice the wall is quite high! The water below is a river. The tow path curves to the left (where the woman in pink is walking), and goes out of the photo before curving back...

ADORAMA is currently offering their VIP membership for free. I've read a few posts here where it is suggested to pay for this to be able to receive VIP membership perks, but for a limited time, they are offering it for free! ;) (I wasn't sure in which forum to post this, so mods please feel free...

Does anyone know the name of this plant? The white, fuzzy things I am assuming are its seeds which remind me of dandelion seeds (for those who don't know, dandelions are weeds). Is anyone familiar with this? I didn't want to crop out the purple flowers next to this plant because I wanted to show...

I deleted the other submission since it was geared towards being a forum ad and am submitting this one instead.

My D600 arrived a little while ago, and I immediately went outside and shot some photos of the sky. *sigh* :( The very first photo had an oil spot, and the more I shot, even more spots began appearing. So I switched the camera to continuous high and shot lots of photos then took a few more test...
