Greg, the pipeline one is definitely a winner, IMHO.

Great shot!

 

[Casey Green]

nice work, guys!

 

[Mark Thorpe]

Bring' em on! You're not the only shark voyeur on this planet, y'a know?

The only one posting here though............ohhh, is there an apostrophe in ya? first time I noticed.......

A Real Nightmare!!!

A Real Nightmare!!!

This looks like something out of one of my nightmares... :help:

10+ years ago at the Andes Mountains. Not a great picture, but has some history.

24 hours after I took this picture............. I was rescued by a Chilean Air Force helicopter.

............First record of a mountain lion attack in Chile.

Tom,
Great thread!!!! Glad to see Natural History!!!!

 

[Tom Lowe]

Wait.... you got attacked by that mountain lion?

 

[Christian Munoz D]

Same day, same place, different animal.

By a male 1.5 times larger than the female in the picture.
I think there are a few slides of him around here.

 

[Tom Lowe]

I'd be very interested to hear that story.

I wrote a screenplay back in 1998 called "Between Lions and Men" that involves a scene where a man engages in mortal, hand-to-hand combat with a male lion on the Serengeti.

 

[Christian Munoz D]

uff!! I will need several pages to tell the whole thing.

I am leaving to a seven days shoot, so I will post part of the history next week....and a few pictures also.

Will be interesting to read your screenplay some day.

Just got back from a shooting trip to the eastern Sierras and White Mountains.

Tom simply amazing as usual.

Tom, this pic is a winner for me. Really nice...

I see you used the 10-22, hmmm.
Which focal length and f/stop?

 

[Tom Lowe]

That was ISO 200 f/5, with a fully cranked circa pola filter. This was part of a timelapse sequence, so I did not want to stop down too far, because sometimes that can cause "flicker" due to the inconsistencies of the iris diaphragm.

For a still I would have stopped down to f/8 or f/9 probably.

But the 10-22 always comes through like a champ! The motto is: "In the 10-22 We Trust."

 

[Tico Llaurador]

Tom, have you ever used the 17-40mm? Any thoughts?

 

[Tom Lowe]

No, I haven't. Is that an f/4 lens? I think it would be too slow.

Funny thing.. looking on amazon, the 17-40 L is actually cheaper than the 10-22.

 

[Tico Llaurador]

I'm thinking of getting one. I don't mind the f/4, as I usually like shooting a bit stopped down anyway, unless I really, really need the extra light. I'm leaning towards the 70-200mm f/4 as well. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Tico, in terms of a wide lens, why not look at the 16-35L? That's the EF lens I am most interested in. It's expensive, though, at around $1,500 USD.

Full frame, as well.
