Excellent shot Steve, I see you didnt waste any time Getting a great shot of one my favorites. I am dissapointed that our paths did not cross as I had a horrible past few weeks, I have not taken, posted or even been out shooting in that period and now its raining. I am really glad that Yamil could take time from his busy schedule to spend some with you, he is a heck of a guy! I hope you got a few more wonderful keepers such as this and had a wonderful trip........

Very nice macro shot! I guess they're using the leaves for their bathroom tile design.

Great shot Steve,
I really like this action image of the Harrier in flight.
They are not easy to get and in such a short period of time you did great.
I wish we could have spent more time in the Bay Area.
It was a real pleassure to meet you and Mary and
I hope our paths will cross again soon.
Best wishes.
Yamil

Superb shot, Steve. It is neat when one can look directly at the Sun. It is just unfortunate that you were able to because of forest fires, though. On June 8, 2004, we were fortunate to be able to look directly for a short while during the Venus transit. A friend from our astronomy group, Shane Finnigan got a great picture of the transit. Yours reminded me of his at

I love your very excellent picture. The smokey atmosphere is so well catpured and presented. Into my favourites it goes.

Great capture. Out of curiosity how did you know it was a female? Markings? Also it was great meeting you and your wife on your travels through the bay area. I hope you have a great trip home.

When I posted this image, I should have thanked Yamil Saenz for showing me where to photograph in the San Francisco Area! Yamil spent a day with us, showing us some of the better spots to photograph birds. Once again, I have to thank Usefilm for helping me meet new friends, and find new areas to photograph!

Hello Jim: I have mixed results when shooting panoramas. This one took lots of work in Photoshop. Apparently, one of the pitfalls of FF sensors, is there is a bit of light drop-off on the edges (vignetting). I had to adjust for that on each individual image before stiching them together. I have had a bit more luck with D2X files. When I shoot panos, I meter for the middle image, or the middle of the light/dark, and then shoot all on Manual (use Auto, and you'll have different exposures that are very difficult to merge). I originally printed this image on my Epson 2200, at 13 X 44, and it's now framed in a friend's home (they asked me for the image when they saw it on my computer; it's a few miles from thier home). Best Wishes for the New Year! We will be coming through your area probably some time in early/mid February. We are currently in the DC area, and will be heading south, then west, heading up the Pacific Coast towards Seattle area to visit with my wife's family. Would like to stop by and say "Hi".

Beautiful panoramic. I think I'm still too ambitious with my panoramics. I still stitch too many images together and the result is an unfriendly viewing size when uploaded.
Incredible lighting in this image.
Have a happy holidays

A beautiful panorama Steve. Love the colours. Stunning. I haven't experimented with stitching images together yet. Hope I can do half as well when I'm ready to try it. Seamless. Sunrise at 9:40 huh. At least you're getting a sunrise. All we get is rain and more rain here in Oregon. Haven't seen the sun in many days.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cheers - Ann
