Image of the week #34

This shot was from a quick trip out to Joshua Tree NP. I was hoping to run into some thunderstorms with some lightning but just a few clouds formed and no real storms. I did take a lot of timelapse shots that will probably get used in something, fun to watch the clouds building, amazing how fast they build and change. While I was waiting for the timelapse sequences I walked around took a few pics with the Fuji X-Pro 1. Converted to black and white using Silver Efex Pro 2. Hope you enjoy it.

I love watching sunsets and ones that get all kinds of nice colors and clouds can be especially nice, I never get tired of watching sunsets. Here is a sunset from Wed. evening that was pretty cool, some nice colors and then a few minutes later it all changes. Taken with the Fuji X-Pro 1, the first was taken with the 35mm f1.4 and the second was with the 18mm f2.0. Both are very minimal processing, pretty much just straight out of the camera. Enjoy.

Went and saw the cheetah run at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, pretty fun to watch, although it was very hot and very humid. It was not great day for running so the cheetah only did one run, which was too bad. The course was 100 meters, this run was done in 5.92 seconds, not their fastest time, but certainly fast enough. Taken with a Canon 1DM4 and a 80-200mm f2.8L lens. The running shot is cropped from the original frame. The portrait shot was not. Enjoy.
