Annular Solar Eclipse through Thin Cloud.

Nikon D3 + 500mm/f4 with x1.4 teleconverter

I couldn't get ND filter for this lens, so I cut blank 120 film to fit for the holder. Works well. I don't recommend this way though.

Tempodrom, Berlin

I'm very happy that the photowalk in Berlin was such a huge success!
We got so much positive feedback.
Thanks to everybody who was involved :)

Rainbow
Monterey Bay Aquarium

You can sometimes find beautiful colors in the most unexpected places. I was careful to take this shot right at the time the fish was swimming in front of the colorful background. The bokeh did the rest!

Of course, shooting sharp photos of fish, especially in an aquarium, is always difficult. To take this shot I used a stabilized macro lens and set my camera to ISO 1600. The high ISO speed was required because I always use a circular polarizing filter to reduce reflections and glare on the tank.

Exposure
1/4000s at ƒ/2.8, ISO 1600

Gear
Canon 5D Mk II
Canon 100mm ƒ/2.8 IS Macro
Circular polarizer B+W

Red Scarf - Here's one I shot this afternoon! A one light setup which was a speedlight through a 43" Shoot Thru Umbrella camera right, ambient for fill!
Thanks for viewing!

I just found these, hidden in a locked family-share only album! They were from our trip last year to the beach. We're headed out to the same beach again - except this year I'm going to be armed with 2 different lenses that I'm renting from lensrentals.com. I can't wait!

Anyone have any tips for dealing with the condensation between Air Conditioned inside versus super-humid outside? Leave the camera outside overnight? (eek!) I only got these two shots before that morning before my lens was covered in condensation - and it takes too long for it to wear off to get a sunrise/sunset in good time.

Howling at the moon (yet again) for reasons unfathomable.

What is Plus Extract?

It's your DAILY dose of TOP Google Plus photographs, which were chosen by an algorithm that combines automatic steps and manual curation. This means that the DAILY TOPs are NOT based solely on popularity, and users with a small number of followers have a chance to be featured in the TOP. We use Google+ API for the automatic steps; Jarek Klimek is responsible for curation and communication with the authors.

We strongly respect the authors and their rights. +Jarek Klimek contacts every photographer featured in all DAILY TOPs and if any author decides that he/she doesn't want to be featured in the TOP, we respect this absolutely.

Catherine Hall About us and Google+

Google+ has flourished into a bustling online community for photographers – and one reason is the exceptional contribution of early adopters such as Jarek Klimek, Editor of PhotoExtract magazine.

Jarek had the foresight to research the new social network and created an authoritative list of photographers to follow on Google+.

His viral list has not only become one of the top referring resources of photography trailblazers, it is also shared and watched by leaders such as Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble and Darren Rowse.

Jarek has helped introduce the work of great photographers to Google+ photography enthusiasts and I was very excited to share his insights with viewers on TWiT Photo.
