Outstanding colours....well done.

Nice series Father, my favourite is that last....great expression

I love the colours in the first one.

Moose, Wyoming. In the Grand Teton National Park.

I was given some advice on tripods a while ago : get the most expensive you can afford.

As long as you make the right choice it will last you a lifetime. I think the trade off is sturdiness versus portability. I went for a Gitzo 1298 Basalt. Very sturdy with a clever hook for your camera bag to add stability, but because of the construction material, not too heavy.

Nothing worse than leaving the tripod at home because you can't be bothered with carrying the extra weight.

I highly recomend the Silkypix pro. The spotting tool deals with dust spots and other cloning very effectively and easily. I now rarely need to save as a tiff first to do this kind of editing in photoshop before saving a jpeg.

The thing that amused me was the name of the town where these were taken......Moose !

That explains it. I was wondering how you captured that with a 210mm
