    Bit of rain yesterday made for a good strong flow down a local glen. That and a shutter speed of around half a second makes for some very dramatic water shots :)

    And digital photography you don't have to wait until it's developed to check if you have a good one. :)

    Technology has its advantages alright! Believe it or not, this was took hand held at half a second. Stabiliser in the camera body and in the lens.

    On my morning walk today on my usual route I saw a very unusual sight--a herd of javelina. While I've seen a few of these unique animals fairly recently, I've never seen as many as were in this group--my count was 15! I initially spotted one up the street from me and we both eyed one another from about 50 years for a good 30 seconds or so. Then that one trotted off into the bushes only to be followed by another...and another...and another...and another.... There was one baby and another that looked to be an adolescent. One seemed to have lost his way and startled the crap out of me! I was taking photos of his buddies crossing the road I'd been turning on and looked up to see him about ten feet away. He seemed as startled as I was and quickly high-tailed it over to his clan. It was quite the sight! I'd flagged down a woman in a car who was about to turn onto the street the peccaries were crossing and a couple with a golden retriever stopped midway through the procession to watch as well. Not good photos but I initially thought I'd just be lucky to get a photo of the one (hahaha) javelina I'd be seeing.

    And I just now learned from Wikipedia that a herd of javelinas is known as a "squadron"! There's something new to learn everyday...

    They sort of were, @Cyborgbot! They stopped me, a woman in an SUV, and a couple with their dog all in our tracks while they made their way--at their own sweet pace--across the roadway. ;):joy:

    No it was early and still quite dark, I did have a polarising filter on which is worth about 1 stop of light.
    I used a 10 stop ND for this one though. Exposure time was 14 minutes! Then took another without a filter to freeze the swaying branches in the background, then blended the 2 photos together in photoshop.

    Here's another one, made up of about 6 long exposures! Each one standing waving a torch lighting various parts of the tractor and of course one with the sparks flying out the exhaust.
