SmugMug > popular all-time > Jan 10: Pelican in flight
I caught this pelican in flight over the moat today at lunch.  They are rear in this area and i was very surprised to see them flying around and looking for food.  I really liked this one when I did the crop as I could tell he was looking right at me on the fly by.  I really liked the look in the eye on this one.

Thanks for all the well wishes!  The pain is reduced, still sore but way more manageable.
SmugMug > popular all-time > 4.11.08 - Magic?

This image is a strange combination of my last three Dailies. Taken at dusk, traffic light streaks, Autumn colours and mist. I love experimenting with long exposures, you never know quite what you're going to get, but you often get something magical. Apart from the obvious effects on movement you tend to get lovely rich colours. This is pretty much straight out of the camera.

Mind you, I nearly got a lot more than I bargained for! Sadly, this bridge is a popular suicide spot as well as being a great viewpoint. I've taken many photos from here, and so has every local photographer that I know. But today a passing motorist spotted this guy on the bridge and phoned the Police because he thought the guy was a "jumper". One Police car appeared below, stopped the traffic and asked if I was OK, while a Police van stopped alongside me and suddenly I had the undivided attention of four Police Officers! Luckily they quickly realised that I was only taking photos and we had a laugh about it, but it does make you think!!!

Here is an alternative view from the bridge that was a close contender today;  http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4053630_nJYqk#410154110_DiLxk

SmugMug > popular all-time > 11/8/09  Just a fun shot of a Sand Hill Crane silhouette. Shot at the Jasper Pulaski State Park in Indiana.  They are migrating and the current count is just over 10,000 birds.
SmugMug > popular all-time > 10-26-2009 - "Liftoff"  Part of the joy of living in NE Ohio is the raking of leaves and the subsequent jumping into the piles.  "It's a family tradition" to quote Hank.  They look forward to it as soon as they see leaves on the ground.  Yesterday was a perfect opportunity for them to hone their leaf-pile-jumping skills.

Another shot from the Mormon Row Historic District near Jackson, Wyoming.  This place must attract thousands of photographers each year.  Note how the windows have black inserts to prevent reflections (or breakage?).  On the other hand, the sunrise reflected in the windows might have added some more interest to this photo.
