All three of those were shot with the Nikon 12-24 f/4

Thanks.... besides the HDR processing what else is done with the images? is that the total capture?

any thoughts on this lens? thinking of adding it to my arsenal.. I recently got a 50mm F1.4 Pentax lens that is amazing

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/463426-REG/Sigma_581109_18_50mm_f_2_8_EX_DC.html

maybe we need a dedicated photo geek equipment thread.....

I applied some USM (sharpening) and cropped after the HDR processing.

Yep you can't go wrong with a "fast 50". I don't know too much about Sigma lenses but I have one (the 50-500mm "Bigma") and have been happy with it. The EX series has a good reputation overall.

LOL, I am a certifiable gearhead but already spend way too much time on photography sites not to mention PPOT of course.

Snow in every direction:

Crestline et al.


San Gorgonio


San Antonio (Baldy)


Even snow over OC (Santiago)


And all of it far enough away not to have to deal with

Some pictures my son took. "Possibly" over Hindu Kush. (I don't think I'm supposed to know that.)

prepping for a traditional Maori Hangi


which includes digging a big hole and stacking firewood across it


you stack rocks or irons on top of the wood and burn it off. (don't use river rocks, they explode) the red hot rocks fall into the hole. Clear out any debris from the burnt wood to leave only the rocks.
Lower trays of food- pork, lamb, whole chickens with stuffing, beef, kumara (sweet potato), potato, pumpkin and cabbage. All the veges are wrapped in cheese cloth, the meat in tinfoil. the trays are covered in soaking wet hessian sacks and sheets then cover and fill the hole in with soil until there is no steam coming through.
For the next 3 hrs or so, make sure no steam is cming through and plug steam with more soil. poke your finger into the soil and feel how hot it is!

You've essentially made a huge pressure cooker.

3hrs later, open her up and serve! we fed about 50-60 people this night!

From early January this year.

Awesome sunset in Bay of Islands, Northland. We were staying in Hihi in Doubtless Bay.


My g/f's camera is good to 10m. This is in a rockpool at Mangonui.


At a Pa site (Maori fortress) overlooking Mangonui in the Bay of Islands.


Mangonui village

Cell phone pic of rainbow in Irvine last weekend. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It was one of the best rainbows I've seen.
