I love your landscape shots, Alan. The first and third in particular remind me I need to experiment more with this kind of thing. And the fourth one, what’s going on there? Looks like the hillside is flowing over the waterfall! The wide-angle / distortion gives it that effect. Great composition.

So basically that’s the top of this waterfall:

It’s shot at 11mm which with a standard wide-angle but at 11mm it does get a little distorted, even after lens corrections.

Where is this if I may ask? I have been to Kings Canyon “park” (which is the size of Switzerland). Edit nevermind looks like its Yellowstone according to comments here?.

In that second post with the night shots and the waterfall, that’s all Yosemite.

Those are great, @Simonout! I particularly like the gate one with the boat.

Oh man, beautiful pictures! And yes, those kimonos look so elegant!

Nice shot! I was there three years ago.

Great pics Alan, Simon and Theodo… er Krok

Thanks Ineffablebob, geggis, Miramon and Kadath! Japan is very photogenic, and I was fortunate that the Autumn leaves were insane when I visited. I really want to go back, it’s a wonderful country to visit.

Alan, your photos are magnificent!

Crazy week; GDC, then flew back and headed to St. Louis for the annual Transworld Halloween convention. Always have a good time there.

A few pics from the show in my album below. The show is huge; I just take a couple shots of the things that catch my eye. You may have seen the video of the large spider-y Pennywise animatronic dangling the armless kid online in the last couple of days. That was from the show; in real life, the figure was about eight or nine feet tall. It was awesome.

Summer’s coming! Hope everyone who likes backpacking gets some great backpacking in. :)

krayzkrok · 2018-04-26T23:51:42.435Z

Yes! First camping trip next weekend. Not quite sure where we’re going yet, but it’s a beautiful time of year right now - cool nights, low humidity by day, still green from the wet season, lots of wildlife. Hoping to do the Simpson Desert at some point, which is stunning.

None of these guys though, although probably a good thing.

I went to see the seals beached on Sandy Hook a few weeks ago. They were too far out to get good pics (and the heat coming off the water was creating huuuuge distortion) but the birding went well!
