Country Gate Trail
Morning sunlight coming in from the meadow shed beautiful light on this trail.

Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

wow.
this looks amazing I love it.
You've done well to capture the "God beams", Ruth! I rarely seem to manage it. Nice airy misty feel. Can almost smell the forest.
Thanks Chris. This was taken two years ago at this time of year. It was taken with a macro lens as it is all I had with me. I plan to head back to this spot in the next day or two and am going to try a reshoot with a different lens. It will be interesting to see how that goes.
Hi Ruth, was this a single shot or HDR? How did you enhance the sun rays. i often face this difficulty.
thanks.
Sooo I was out with just a macro. It was early morning, misty and dark so the rays coming in were fairly opaque. This was a single shot, PENTAX PENTAX K-7
ƒ/2.8, 1/40, 90mm, ISO200. I didn't have the original anymore but I did find a blurry one that I didn't edit to give you a general idea. That is photo 1 below. I went back exactly a month later and tried again with a different camera/lens and took the second one below. Again, unedited so you can check it out. Canon Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi
ƒ/5.6, 1/40, 60mm, ISO800.
@Ruth, thanks.
