This thread is great if you are a Canon fan like me.

Titus on flickr

I know it's been a while since my last post... I've been ill (as has my entire family). Today I did a search on flickr for other Titus references. I came across a list of interesting stuff, and now have a list of the Titus landmarks that I must see some day. They include:

• The Arch of Titus, in Rome


• Titus Canyon, in Death Valley


• Titus Basilika, in Crete

I also found a few other shots worth mentioning:

• Christopher Titus and fan


• Titus the Clownicus

I never knew the name was so popular.

First photoSIG post

I signed up for a free photoSIG account a while ago. While I love flickr, I wanted to find out how the photoSIG site worked too. Their goal is to get three comments on every photo, and uploads are limited based on how many each user makes. On top of that, I've also seen some very constructive feedback provided in the comments.

I chose one of my favorite pictures of the kids as a first post. We'll see how it goes.

HDR with Photoshop

There are a ton of articles online describing High Dynamic Range pictures. I think the first article I read on the subject has one of the best HDR pictures I've found so far. I'm referring to the church at the bottom of the page.

Unfortunately PSE doesn't support making HDR images. Here are some links that include or recommend alternatives:

• PSE users forum


• Dynamic Photo HDR for $40

Humingbird photos

I don't think you could find a better collection of hummingbird photos then the pool on the flickr group.

Hawk pictures

There is a poster on DPReview whose alias is "Hawkman". I saw some of his posts that included incredible pictures. He has a great gallery of them online too.

Eagle pictures

To continue with my photo wish list theme today, I'll address eagle pictures. Some great examples are on my friend Mark's site . As you can see by checking out all his stuff, Mark has a collection of really great work.

I would be remiss if I didn't also mention his pileated woodpecker shot, that got me interested in bird photography to start with. Thanks Mark.
