Good points Claes. I agree that those are good times too. I was referrring to the fact that there are less people around early in the morning. I must admit that my night shots have never come out that great. I'm not good at long exposures. Nor do I know how long is the right amount? Is there some rule?Originally Posted by ClaesGefvenberg

Not really, but I generally try twice the time I think should do it and then some.Honestly, I experiment a lot, and the decent shots are often preceded by several miserable ones.
The good news is that digital cameras made experimenting free of charge. I used to spend lots of film in this manner, and that was expensive to say the least.

A flat tyre again. As usual, caused by an Acacia thorn.
A baboon gang on their way to a waterhole in Buffalo Springs.
Baboons seem to detest getting wet: Great care was taken not to touch the water.
This guy gave me a scare. While I was watching his mates through the telephoto lens, he ambled past me
just three meters away. He ignored me, but they are quite dangerous: They possess evil tempers as well as big scary teeth.

Wow, I thought those were taken on a nice April day. But yes, regardless, the best time to take photographs of a natural setting is without lots of people around. IMOKathy, I took those in August, the height of the crowded season.Best time to take pictures is in really early morning. Should I add, IMO?

I think I just spent about an hour going through the photos you all took. And you guys are AMAZING. Such beautiful photos. I am going to have to take a look here more often.
Kenya, Paris, Martha's Vinyard, Spring, India, Greece....wow....I think I travelled a pretty good portion of the world here.

where in Germany did you go?
yep, it's crazy, it was an unseasonable 26°C yesterday (same today)...
weird roadside,Cales and amazing pic.
Sleepy:
cool pictures..
wow!
@Sleepy Witch: You know, it's funny how Germany does look familiar. But it's different all the same from how the houses in Austria look.
Two pictures of Vienna - my favourite city.
That's the "Pestsäule" - a memorial of the plague; it was built after it's end in the 17th century under emperor Leopold I.
Schloß Schönbrunn - the parts in dark yellow are part of the castle. I'm not sure why they're painted differently. Probably lack of money.

Nice pics, Themis and Sleepy.
You have no idea how envious I am of the people walking the streets in shirt sleeves, Sleepy. It is very cold here and it snowed yesterday. Today it is raining and warmer, but still.

Good idea... Both going there and bringing the camera along. Scenery and weather looks great
My previous comments seem to be in just right here as well. It looks splendid.Two pictures of Vienna - my favourite city.
A change of scenery? More Kenya shots:
Nyahururu Falls, previously known as Thompson Falls.
Rift valley: Suddenly the landscape changes from bone dry to lush and green.
A tiny flower. Can anyone tell me its name?
A Grant's Gazelle.
A buffalo. Someone asked me if I felt intimidated by the lions close by....
Let me tell you: These guys are intimidating... See that stare?
Marabou Storks at lake Nakuru. Really big and really ugly.
In the landing pattern with flaps and gear down. Turning left to final...
...and touchdown!
Taxiing to dispersal to have a really loud conversation with your fellow pelicans...

Themis, I would love to go to Vienna.

Please do. I'd love to show you around.
@Claes: Great pictures! I especially love the waterfall picture. Do you know if the name means anything? Or is it 'just' a name?
