Canon Thursday Pic 2011: #1

<p>Here's one i took last summer, in the break-room at a music and theatre festival in Veghel (nl). (2010-07-17)<br>

I was there to take photo's of a band, and saw this lady sitting in the break/dressing room. (a classroom in a school, curtains closed..)<br>

No idea who she is, or what group she belonged to. It doesn't belong in the series for the band i was there for, so i thought i'd use it for the forum.<br>

5DmkII, i think it was the 70-200 2.8 L Is, available light.</p>

<p>I am still hampered with a semi-bust computer, with no access to the drive that holds all my images..but as someone said last week... 'the show must go on'. This image is one that was on my quite lame laptop, shot quite a while back~ and possibly one of my favourites. This was shot in the British Museum in London and is the head of a horse of Selene from the east pediment of the Parthenon.</p><div></div>

<p> I have been trying without success for several weeks to get a decent picture of a great blue heron that hangs out at a lake in my area.. so this morning I went back and was sitting in my truck eating a bagel waiting to see if anything shows up, so to my surprise, he landed about 15 feet from my truck.. All I had to do was roll down my window and start shooting away.. Once in a while, I get lucky.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year Everyone! I also have not had time to go out and snap at anything new so here's one from the archives. </p>
