Canon Thursday Photo 2011: #33

<p>Here's my contribution for the week. A poinsettia leaf on mulch. </p><div></div>

<p>some really wonderful photo's again this week.....nice work everyone</p>

<p>would have liked to taken and posted some shots from my 6th row seats at last night's Return to Forever / Zappa Plays Zappa show at the Palace but as usual "No Camera's Permitted".....but it's O.K. for people with 12" iPads and phones held over their heads taking video's.....hmmmph</p>

<p>anyway's, here's a shot of local guitarist Brian Henke from a few weeks ago</p><div></div>

<p>Full-frame fisheye: the new Canon EF 8-15/4L set for 180-degrees diagonal viewing on a 1D Mk IIN. </p><div></div>

<p>I normally carry my point-and-shoot with me around the neighborhood, but last weekend I took the big boy with the 50mm Canon macro. I see the same things, but always see them differently.</p><div></div>

<p>Love the creative shots! Don't have nearly the skill of other Canon shooters but here is one of my banal pics. T2i kit lens.</p><div></div>

<p>Another one from Yosemite on Sentinel Dome. </p>

<p>I have been working on some tourism photos of local events for 2012 brochure. This entertainer was part of a free event held at Sandbanks Beach in Poole, Dorset. Apparently Sandbanks has, by area, the fourth highest land value in the world. i find this fact amazing.</p>

<p>Jeff Spirer--you photos never cease to amaze!<br>

Thanks for posting--you've truly out there...<br>

<p>Not many Hummers this year, but finally getting a few in.</p><div></div>

<p>Hope I am not too late. <br>

Here is a photo from my last week's New York visit. Canon XSi, kit lens.</p><div></div>

<p>We join the local Audubon chapter for monthly bird walks when our schedule permits. They know all the best places, and all the correct names.</p>

<p>Happy Thursday! My Thursday shot came from yesterday's shoot. Titled "Guitars". I will have this larger in my portfolio if any one would like to see it at 1500 pixels.</p><div></div>

My contribution for the week... cranky baby</p>

<p>A shot from very recent trip to Kauai. Shot with my 5D and 17-40L with a 3 stop ND filter, and a 3 stop ND grad.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a shot from the Ventura County Fair last weekend.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, you guys and gals just keep raising the bar. A lot of nice work this week, it just keeps getting better. I'm glad to see new names among the regulars, posting your work helps all of us grow. Here's my experiment for the week, a Hell on Wheels stunt rider performing during the monster truck show at Englishtown NJ Wed. night. They work without safety nets about 60ft off the ground.</p><div></div>

<p>A few weeks ago I posted a rather busy shot of the tallest waterfall in MN. Mark asked about scale in his more than generous comments. Well, here is another shot of that waterfall in Grand Portage SP to provide some scale.</p>

<p>This is a 5 shot HDR experiment, tone mapping was kept to a minimum. It appears a bit over sharpened on my monitor; it will be interesting to see how it works posted on line.</p><div></div>

<p>I drove down to the Harbor to see if there was anything interesting to photograph. I sat in my car for a few minutes just watching. About a dozen Pelicans flew by very close to shore and I thought "wow this is great I can practice panning and focusing". I got all my gear out and literally nothing happened. Waited an hour, pelicans flew by but were hundreds of yard away. This was the only photo even remotely worth keeping but I was hoping for better. I am sure hundreds of Pelicans flew by right after I left. Canon 5D MK2 ISO 200 1/200 f/11 Vivitar 100-300 Zoom </p><div></div>

<p>Wow I am really late this week</p>

<p>I was having some problems posting the photo (site won't let me type) but it is now OK. Here is the shot of the Sistine Chapel taken handheld at 1/20 (who needs IS!) at ISO 3200 with a Sigma 8mm Fisheye.</p><div></div>

<p>It has been a while since I shoot Canon gear (been having some fun with NEX). A few days ago, I borrowed a friend's Vivitar 85 (Rokinon/Samyang) and shot with a 5D. <br>
