Digging in my old pictures, tonight at camera club we had a critique session with John Beesley(www.hilitegallery.com/), he went through few pictures, I was lucky because he picked 2 of mine, here is one of them.

Hey Hey HEy !

I am still a live, I got few shots from this little wood, in the Irving nature park, this is totally over processed, I made and HDR that I pushed the contrast to then remove colors, this is black and white without gray...kind of.

FALL

Summer is over, tree are loosing their leaves, temperature is getting COLD !

This is another one from Estes Park, it was taken in a fenced area so Elk can not access tree because they eat everything. Also, installing fence was cheaper then having wolves pack, managing wolfes pack can cost 1 million every 4 years, fence cost 250k$ once every 20 years. The elk don't have predator, wolves were took away by man long time ago.

This was shot with a wide angle, not my excellent good old TOkina that is still under repair...No Sigma, I prefer the Tokiina !

Atlanta Skyline

This is a view from Stone mountain national park of Atlanta. I went there with colleagues to fill some night and stretch our legs. This place is an awesome place for excercise, plenty of people go there to climb the mountain, a 20-30 minutes walk Up.

Really nice place since...I lost my cell phone there in the hiking trail, some honest person gave it back to police, so next day I could get it back !

Crop version !

I crop the bottom grass since they were not adding anything to the composition.

Crop or not ?

MaxGag posted a photo:

This is one of the early morning picture took at Sprague Lake, Estes Park Co. The top of mountains was red for 2-3 minutes before turning yellow.

There was a little bit of wind destroying the nice reflection on water.

So the question: crop or not? Should I keep the grass in foreground, they are not really looking good.

Rocky Mountains

Again this was took during that day where we went almost at 4km high, I though I was about to die, the lack of oxygen was quiet bad on me. We did not stayed long enough to let our body adapt to the lack of oxygen.

The view was awesome every side I was looking, just sad my Tokina is still on repair, I hate Daymen Canada, they really really lie to thier customer...If I ever have to send my lens for repair I will send it to USA, this might be much more complicated but never so long and full of lies.......

This could be the last one of the serie, I love the rock in the bottom. That was a nice moment ! Summer is almost over, days are getting shorter and shorter.

Lens is still trying to get fix in Toronto, that service company seem to be quiet bad(Daymen) at communication.

I am on vacation this week, I will try to go for sunrise at Irving Nature park, I nee to excersice my Cokin skills.

The Predator

MaxGag posted a photo:

Macro again, same issue as the other one...it was windy. I feel like spyder and their 8 eyes do not like flash, she did not stay very long. The small water drops are nice on the spyder web. Anyway this is my new friend for the rest of the summe, she had to learn to deal with flash or move away.

The victim

MaxGag posted a photo:

Oh yeah ! Here is my firdsst macro victim caught in a spyder web. This is not a great macro, I know I need many shot with different focus distance...For my defense it was in a spyder web and it was windy so I could not get easy IN focus shot as I wanted.

I like the details in the wings, they are pretty sharp. I was expecting the spyder running to her in a terrible attack but no, she let her die slowly. That could have been interesting, some macro ACTION !

Anyway the predator is coming next...
