Canon Thursday Photo 2011: #20

<p>I was walking back to the hotel in Las Vegas a few nights ago and was struck by the contrast in colors here.</p>

<p>Canon 40D with an EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 lens<br />ISO 400, 51mm, f/2.8, 1/20 second, handheld </p><div></div>

<p>Nathan, enjoy Hilton Head. Perhaps that's where all the GBH have gone as yesterday I went out to a favorite GBH habitat and found none.</p>

<p>Lots of fun shots, thanks to all for sharing.</p>

<p>I don't have a macro lens but sometimes use my 100-400 to shoot small things. Here is a common dragonfly who seemed insistent I take its portrait.<br /> 5DMk2; Canon L 100-400; ISO 200; F5.6; 1/400sec; 40mm hand held. No PS editing or enhancements, except to adjust image size per forum guidelines.</p><div></div>

<p>From earlier in the year, a bit of urban decay.<br>

<p>he's so "blue"</p><div></div>

<p>I accidentally overexposed this photo -- the 7D is the only camera I've owned where the mode dial too easily changes "on its own" when pulled out of the bag. Anyway, a semi-interesting effect kind of science fictional, which is good by me.<br>

Robert,

 

Thanks, and the week is still going good. Saw the baldy again this morning.

 

 

Mark,

 

Thanks for tip. We actually went to Savannah Tuesday and walked along River St. Brought mom back some pralines.

There's a NWR there too, but I didn't go as the whole crew wasn't interested. And amazing wood duck, I am jealous. How did you manage to get that close. Even the tolerant ones in the city park here won't let you get very close at all. Was it on a nest?

<p>Nice work everyone ...<br>

Here is my contribution</p><div></div>

<p>Summer dip.</p><div></div>

<p>This photo is from a portrait shoot last week with a client who had a specific idea of contrasting images for her web site, representing her business and artistic sides (click through if you want to see a few of the others). I found an ideal spot where I could stand on a ledge and lean over to take photos from a top-down perspective, without balancing on a ladder. Unfortunately it was very sunny (despite the forecast calling for overcast skies) and windy, but we brought along a diffuser and that helped cut down on the sun at least. Fun shoot!<br>

<p>As always, MANY great shots! This week I return to the cat that owns me. I left my desk at work and shot a couple for a presentation I'm writing, and by the time I returned Prince Charming had deposited himself in my chair and was sound asleep AGAIN! Well there I stood with a 50D and a 100mm f2.8 USM Macro; what else could I do?</p><div></div>

<p>My contribution for this week. Had this in my mind for a wile now, but as I saw only this week I was not the first one with this idea;</p><div></div>
