Gorgeous work, Darryl, as always--both with the model and with the drone. The drone image looks pretty good from where I'm sitting. We have an Autel Robotics drone, and I've been rather impressed with the image quality. But less impressed with the photo content. Ahem. And that would be completely my fault.
Bill, very nice color and detail in that shot. At 500mm?! Wow. Glad you had the tripod! That's definitely not the subject matter I'd expect with that lens--or perhaps I should say, for that subject matter I wouldn't expect that lens. Pretty cool!
Peter, an intriguing shot from you that begs for exploration from the viewer. The perspective is really appealing--was your camera on the ground? That pile of leaves in the foreground makes for a lovely frame. And since when have you been on Flickr?
Steve, great set. I was trying to pick a favorite but found things that I really like in all of them. I think I might finally choose the train with the city scape as my fave--I especially like the curve of the tracks...your composition seems to lead the eye so smoothly from the train along the tracks to the city.
Mark, that silhouette and the moody sky work so well together. Love this image. And please tell me you had some sort of tripod or something--I can't even imagine trying to use that lens on a boat. I can barely handle it handheld in normal conditions--on a boat...yeah, that wouldn't be working for me.
So, I have a photo to share. I had a photo shoot for a commercial project on Saturday--I've been hired to shoot...ahem, get ready for this excitement...rugs. Heh. I'm shooting rag rugs for a fiber arts publication. Not terribly exciting, but it was one of the most physical shoots I've ever done. So much squatting and bending over and climbing up on stools...I was just a bit sore the next day. Anyway, we got through almost 30 rugs on Saturday--gotta go back for the rest of them soon.
In addition to full-length shots, they've asked for some detail shots for each rug, so here's a detail from one of them. The weaver wanted to show the braided fringe on this one...

And what the heck, here's another one. One of the weavers had a cute little boxer with her. Sweet old guy named Ferris. And some of my macro shots have dog hair in them. Ugh.

I wasn't set up to take a dog portrait--just grabbed it quick when he came over to say hi.
