Here is a desktop sized image for all of you with high res screens. Sized 1920x1080 px. Enjoy!

You have mad photo skills,for sure!

Thanks for the image but I think that bladeforums might limit size in a post. It's "only" 1024 for me.

Beautiful, saved yourself from a ticket & turned the ranger onto a great product.

Great photo work, the quality of light is spot on! Also, great work on not getting shot when you pulled out that big ole pig sticker.

I love those pics! Any chance you have a 1920x1080 version of the first one I could use as a background? I'm actually rather surprised we don't have a wallpaper sticky here or something. Fantastic pictures.

Excellent idea!

Don't get me wrong here, but... you musta gotta done a little photoshoping on them thar pics. I've never seen that kind of dynamic color on an in-camera photo. Either way, though, NICE! :thumbup:

Of course I did... That is what I do for a living sillyLOL

This was shot at dusk. With some soft sun light reflecting up off the water of a lake.

Camera was a Canon 5D MKII Lens Canon 24-70L 2.8 Flash Canon Speedlite 580EX II

I used Adobe Photoshop CS5 for the enhancements. Nothing over the top. Just a few tweaks. That camera throws some of the best images I have ever seen. I like the life like colors that come straight off the camera! No lie! I just enhanced the contrast a bit and softens the edges a bit to bring the focus in on the blade! This image was shot at 2.8 and that really pulls the focus in on the blade naturally, but I wanted to pull it in even more! LOL

Thanks!! I love doing stuff like that!

Sweet rig! I love Canons. My little SD890 P&S takes some amazing images for what it is.

Ah-ha! I didn't know that, but by this small sampling it doesn't surprise me at all. :thumbup:
