Quick walk at Frear Park in Troy, NY. As we are strolling, I said to the Spotter-in-Chief, "These skies look fake; like some artist's idea of what a sky should look like when he has no real idea." Cheers, Jock

A couple of panoramas, stitched together with ICE and shot different days at the overlook at Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, NY. Cheers, Jock (unrepentant sky junkie)

X marks the spot? Good old Canon G12. Cheers, Jock

(added later) Just for perspective, here is where I was shooting from: The eagles nest is in the trees, dead-center, the big dark blob about one-third down from the top of the frame. I estimate the distance at about 75 yards. Cheers, Jock

Cheers, Jock PS -- I don't know why the software here freaks out over the ISO measurement; it does the same thing whether the image is SOOC or has been post-processed.
