April Contest - Seasonal.... (renamed)

Title: Our Fountain

E-500 with ZD 35mm and FL50. f22 1/160s.

Hi, new to the forum and new to my recently acquired E500.. This was the 4th photo I shot using the supplied 40-150 lens on all Auto. Not the greatest as it was very cloudy and I was hand holding at 150mm. The Killdeers set up housekeeping in our gravel drive every spring. I put small flags next to the nests so visitors don't run over the eggs..

After seeing all the other entries I dare not, but OK

Spring here is revealed by the noise - next door's boy kicking the ball against the fence, or open top cars roaring down the road. Sometimes you can take yourself away to the woods...

You've done a great job with the layout of these pictures Tony. The EXIF info is a helpful guide as well that could be useful to us in the future.

Can I still enter?

Speaking about tulips, they are just getting out here...

Here is my entry Towards Spring.

These plants are called muguet in French. I believe you could call them woodruffes in English but I am not sure.

This photo has been taken April 28th around noon. Variable greyish sky, 5C outside.

Here's my impression of what 'spring' is:

"Present for Mrs. Moorhen":



I hope the EXIF data is intact but here is the important stuff:
E-1+Tokina AT-X 300/2.8+EC-14, ISO200, f/4, 1/500 sec, tripod, manual focus as well as exposure.

Cheers, Jens.

Thanks for the comment Peter.

I had another look at it the other day, and opened up the midtones a tad, brought it alive a bit more, but left the colours (should that be colour!) well alone.

cheers,

Mark

Its still open. There were so many entries, that I started putting them up.
I will close it Monday night.
gallery updated to this point.

I wonder if I'm the only one who's a little confused. I posted a photo in this thread, which is still open until tomorrow for April's contest, but under a separate thread for "Final Submissions" in the April contest, it says that thread is closed as the date is May 1. What am I missing?

Hun? I don't know what you mean.... Tomorrow is the last day in the month. So tomorrow evening before I go to bed I close it, and put up the voting thread.
I don't see the other thread, unless you are looking at the 2006 thread? If so ignore that one.

Hi Tony,

gallery updated to this point.

then you over-looked mine.

Cheers, Jens

That was a big "DUUUUHH!" Yes, you're right. Too tired, in too much of a rush, etc., etc. I just visited the smugmug link and what you've done is excellent. I like the availability of the exif info. As already mentioned, that would be very helpful to some of us.
