colours are undoubtly beautiful here, Bill, especially the BG. it's so lovely soft!
but the fern shoot i think is a bit OE or perhaps my ageing eyes fail me.
woaaa...another jungle trekking eh!

Possibly interesting subject, but very blurred - although I understand the reasons for it.. Not anywhere near your usual standard Bill... I really think we should be posting the best and not something that you'd usually delete..
On the plus side the lighting is very nicely diffused, I guess from the jungle cover..

Maybe you could consider using a backpack as support - or even a cheap monopod, usually very light to carry around and extremely helpful..

Regards
David

Hello Bill,
Such delicate and graceful frond ready to unfurl. Pity there was not enough time for the tripod, the focus appears to be on the foliage to the right. Nonetheless an exqusite image from atop close to heaven. My compliments...Danilo

Hi Bill,

That equipment would be too heavy for me, although it is worth having it, instead of a pocket camera.
Nature is indeed beautiful en the colour of your BG works wonderful here.
My goodness full 500 mm and not even using at least 1/500 - steady hands you must have!

Hi Bill

Ah well, here goes ... kudos to you, first of all, for going to all the trouble to GET to this location. A lot of effort but worth it for the views I hope?

But - as you admit, this is a shaky shot and the lack of sharpness turns an "ohhh!" into an "awwww."

May I ask - you have a good camera, why didn't you increase the ISO when your shutter speed showed as being 1/40s? At ISO 400 you would've had good, quick shutter and a sharper shot that, even if noisy, would be easily fixed with a little NR.

The alternative (and something I often do) would be to stop down the shutter speed a little so that you get a darker, but sharper shot that can then be lifted in PP later. :)

Anyway, a very useful shot in terms of what it can teach us - thank you for sharing it.
