While I was on the West coast I spent a couple days down at the ocean and was constantly entranced by these guys, it is just amazing to watch them dive.

great shot tray

i have to agree with the others, you catched the perfect moment! shots like these are pretty seldom, great!

Excellent Tracy! I love it!!

Tracy, when you were taking this image I was in awe of your sense of timing. These pelicans dive so quickly at the very last minute and capturing this one just before entering the sea is remarkable. The additional element of the pelican's pal hovering above is such an added element to the story.

Your warming layer and the composition adds much to the image. Well, well done.

Nice photo showing various views of a park (I suppose). Love the dog on his back.

thats a damned good interpretation of the theme!! well done! :)

Great shot. You still up?? I'm in California shooting the lunar eclipse. One shot every 15 mins. 3:15am here.

thank you!

curious bout your eclipse-shots!

Very nice.
Makes you wonder what the chair is doing there!

i like it overexposed, gives the feeling as if a nuclear explosion has taken place a few seconds ago.

@all: thanks! :)

@methan: it was a little bit like a nuke blast must feel, because of 118 degrees fahrenheit and perceived humidity like 120%... ;) the sun was burning so hard that i had to interrupt my shots every few minutes to cool down in the car...

Love it!!

Well, it had to be this one! It's awesome. Is that a house that had to endure a storm?
cheers

Thanks guys. This was shot two years ago at the Lac de Roue in the High-Alpes, France.

Und damit Sonne putzen fahren...:)

thank you for showing this, coming from digital as a starting point for photography, I am fascinated to see & hear about this... beautiful

Wonderful work Jens and long live film! :).

Hey...I am surprised.

Thx a lot !!! :)

I began photography with digital as well, so it's fascinating to hear about analog post-processing. It sounds like a whole new world to discover!

as dave grohl sings:

the best, the best, the best of you!! :)

Jens, I don't think most people know that you shoot real film instead of pixels. ;-)

i just want to eat all the clouds up

Jens,I have never seen any birds like those!
The backlit clouds are wonderful.

Thank you all :)

Carl these are Kites....:D

the processing is -as usual- well done, mr. hoffmann :)
i really would like to see a handcoloured one, maybe you should start with it :D

Thanks for sharing this Vernon - I love the tonal range on this. Nice work as usual.

Arne

I love this one. Reminded me of the caffes back home in Asmara.

and the small lady makes one think about... :D
