Canon Thursday Photo 2011: #46

<p>Season's Greetings</p><div></div>

<p>At the feeder again.</p><div></div>

<p>In the quarry</p><div></div>

<p>I went deer hunting this past week. I found myself thinking I'd be just as happy shooting with my Canon as with my rifle. One evening I did take out the 60D and had some fun with light painting and long exposures. Here's one of the results. The light pollution on the horizon is Tucson, which sat to the west of our campsite. Though very faint, you can make out the milky way just above the tree. Now to figure out how to do noise reduction...</p><div></div>

<p>Lots of great images this week, as usual. I was playing around with nighttime photography last night at the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee. Came across a beer garden that was completely empty and set up the tripod. HDR'ed it to capture more of the detail in the alcoves.</p><div></div>

<p>Snapped a picture of this cute puppy during halftime at my son's soccer game.</p>

<p>High school football season ended with a loss in the playoffs. This kid made a nice one handed catch in his last game.</p><div></div>

<p>Working on my "100 Strangers" project - here is my latest submission to the project.</p><div></div>

<p>Ken is right, this is a weekly thread where you can post <strong>one </strong>photo, and it must your own, taken with Canon equipment. Please do not post reworkings of others' photos or photos taken by others. If you are unsure of the rules, there is a link at the top of this thread.</p>

<p>This is my favorite guideline:</p>

<p><em>11. Most importantly, as Jose says, join the threads and have fun.</em></p>

<p>Wow, looking at my photo on my monitor at work, the image is much darker than it was on my laptop at home. I can hardly see anything at all! Can everyone easily see the silhouette of the tree, and where the horizon gives way to the night sky?</p>

<p>James - can't see much at all.</p>

<p>A day late, but here is my contribution:</p><div></div>

<p>Shot yesterday (Thursday) at the Nashville downtown Famer's Market in a rainy, dismal day. Handheld, Canon 30D, Sigma 50 f1.4 wide open, 200 ISO.</p>
