This was taken in June during a relaxing sunset on the pier!!!

 

Nice sunset photo. ; Looks like a nice party going on the schooner.

 

Thanks Scott, and yes the sunset cruises in Key West are great parties!!!

 

The Boys of Summer I follow are box lacrosse warriors of the Onondaga Redhawks. They start their championship series this weekend.

What's summer without going to a summer tourist destination like the 1000 Islands and the famous Boldt Castle.

As the commercial says, "It is a beautiful day in the Islands".

After the southern tier of New York got hit with heavy rains last week, I headed down to get some mid-summer waterfalls with lots of flow.

First time photographing at Fillmore Glen State Park. ; It won't be my last!

You just know if I am out photographing waterfalls, Taughannock will be one of them.

Love the depth in the last one, Scott!

 

f/16 and Be There! ; Hey, this thread is for anyone who wants to post summertime photos. ; Only a few weeks of summer left!

 

OK, took this a few weeks ago. Yup, the EXIF says D4. My wallet is so empty even the moths have moved out, but boy does this camera sing.

Deeeeeee Fourrrrrrr...*drool* ;

 

I guess you solved your frames per second issue, Erich. ; ;D ;

 

Yeah, to say the least! Now I have to tell myself to lift my finger from the shutter button, otherwise it'll happily shoot away at a ridiculous frame rate with a seemingly endless buffer too. It's funny how fast I got spoiled. After a few weeks shooting the D4 I went to a small airshow. Took the D7100 for more reach with the 300mm lens. After the first pass by a plane I thought the camera had broken because it ground to a halt before the plane had even gotten level to me. Nope, just the buffer was already full. Crazy.

I have heard that about the D7100 in RAW. ; I use JPEG for the most part when shooting sports so I have (yet) to hit the buffer limit.

 

I enjoy shooting wildflowers in bloom in the spring and summer. ; Everywhere else in the Midwest, this flower is called a Turk's Cap Lily. ; In Michigan it's called a Michigan Lily.

 

The new Baldwinsville history mural I have been documenting this year was dedicated last week. ; I got to meet some people who brought the mural to life. ; One of them was 91 year old Catherine Rice you see below. ; I asked her to pose for me and this is what she did. ; What a pistol! ;

The blue sky really sets the Lily off! ; Beautiful!
