It is springing down under and plants like this could well be the future as we face climate change. Given its "in yer face" coloring, things could be worse
It won't do 311kph, but at least it's a fast ride shot this AM with a very fast lens...I really need to learn PP, so many RAW images waiting for better treatment than I know how to give @ the moment. Love the PP on that 911 a couple shots back, Anton

Thanks, it has some but I know I could do a lot better with most of my shots. Just using Aperture at the moment and trusting that if I keep RAW copies, I can spend some rainy days in the future reworking things with different tools and new skills...
oh - there's a prop behind it, a large woodworking clamp - you can see a bit of it above front derailleur. It's just leaning into it, a good breeze would blow the bike over...didn't bother to clone it out. This combo is just silly sharp, I can clearly see the threads on the valves and the fine print on the tires, and I'm still getting motion blur because I still need to cough up the dough for a top quality tripod. 36mp is brutal, maybe I'll try two tripods in the meantime
A few from today. A bit windy but I used this to my advantage. As usual, I just converted my raw to tiff in NX2. No photoshopping, no cropping. Cheers.

The Maned Wolf - Chrysocyon brachyurus - portraits at a savannah grassland
preserve, southeast Brazil.
Taken at an ecological preserve - Estação Ecológica de Itirapina, southeast Brazil. This species is mostly nocturnal or crepuscular, but in cloudy days the wolves can be active during early mornings(this case) and late afternoons.
I was "hunting" birds with an effective 900mm lens (FX equivalent) and had no choice: "forced" portraits when this guy approached me less than 10 metres!
One more, this time a frontal view and an experiment: a 3 shots (taken at less than 1 second) focus stacking/stitching: 2 for focus (lens was wide open) and one just to include the ear tips, absent from first two captures:
Jon, in my case I use flickr and what works is to click in "share" , then " Grab the HTML/BBCode", activate the BBCode option, copy the code and paste here.
