I've processed and post a couple more photos.

The light/clouds were better Saturday I guess, and most of the shots I like (and posted) have been from Saturday.

I've still got over 3,000 other shots not posted so stay tuned. I also have some video, about 30 minutes almost, and think I will post something good to youtube soon, maybe the A-10 demo.

A couple from the first day at the Joint Service Open House 2007.

I went both days, and took a ton of shots, somewhere around 20GBs worth or 3500 photos.

Goodnight - bigger isn't always better or required.

Funny thing about your image (vs. mine)... I never feel a need or want to see a larger/huge version. It's not about resolution of the image I'm viewing with you. So, I wish I could take a photo and like it small, like I do yours. ;) Yours are just stronger, better.

He's much better than me at seeing, crafting, and everything else I can't do at his level.

Time to keep learning from a seasoned master imo.

So sad. May have to rethink being on flickr.

Zoomr sounds good... or pbase or photo.net. IDK. I've had my own strife regarding flickr a lot lately.

stealing IS a crime, right?

The photos shown above all have one thing in common (besides being rather lovely landscape photos):

They were all taken , without my permission, by the London based print-selling company Only-Dreemin. This company prides itself on offering its customers only the best quality canvas prints of the finest photos , by top artists.

What they fail to mention is that some of the photos they're selling prints of have been illegally obtained, and are being sold without the artists consent or knowledge.

I hope she's cleans their clock.

Bald Eagle (near Conowingo Dam)

This new spot near Conowingo Dam is so cool to go to. The pair of eagles do so much. They fish, defend their territory, and work on the nest bringing in new grass and twigs. No doubt they're also feeding their 2 chicks but that isn't really visible from the spotting location.

Cheery Blossoms in Washington DC 2007

Originally uploaded by Nikographer [Jon].

The little shot to the right isn't cherry but it was cool. Here are some of the Cherry Trees. This was my first year making it down to the Tidal Basin to check them out. I'm real glad I went, especially when I did, because just a day later it rained like mad in DC and probably washed away a lot of the blossoms. I'd guess the day I went was the last best day...

Maryland Bald Eagle & Blackwater Sunset

Blackwater Sunset
Originally uploaded by Nikographer [Jon].

Here's a sequence of one of the Bald Eagles at Blackwater, from behind the visitors center. The bird was sitting on the tree branch and was disturbed and flushed out by another photographer that saw the eagle and bounded out of their car to get a tripod and camera setup. Needless to say they missed the shot(s).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been on the hunt for Bald Eagles now for about a year. I like in Maryland, not too far from Washington D.C. I know about a handful of locations where there eagles, practically in every direction! Great Falls to the west, Mason Neck to the south, Centennial Lake and Conowingo Dam to the north, and Blackwater and the rest of the eastern shore to the east...

Here are a bunch of shots from 2006-2007, roughly my first year trying to photograph bald eagles, these are almost all from Maryland (MD):
