Canon Thursday Photo 2012: #41

<p>Lupo, Very creative. Just what I had for breakfast this AM.<br>

Nice photos everyone. <br>

John P. from the Nikon Wed. side. </p>

<p>Happy Octoberfest</p>

<p>After the rains we had lately.</p><div></div>

<p>Haystack Rock - Canon Beach, Oregon</p><div></div>

<p>Gray fall day at the National Wildlife Refuge</p><div></div>

<p>Forster's Tern.</p><div></div>

<p>Wood Stork, up close and personal. This guy was looking at me as though to say: "Is there a problem here?"</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots everyone. Lupo, that sweaty egg really does look nervous!<br>

This shot is from a Canon, but not an EOS, I hope that's OK. I didn't bring the big camera on the boat, but was able to get a few shots with the S95. Cold in Montana, but fish still got to eat!</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos from everyone.<br>

I finally had the time to use the 50D this week.</p>

Robert,

 

I noticed that, and I like the idea. I'll run it by Josh to make sure that's okay.

<p>Last show of the year at Shuttleworth.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots to all!<br /> I had planned to go out after birds, but homelife sidetracked me. I did get a decent shot of my cat, Prince Charming, as he attempted to stalk birds in a tree.</p><div></div>

<p>Marvelous pictures all. Perhaps someone can help identify this bird for me: Sacramento County, California.</p><div></div>

<p>to DL Anderson, Looks like a Black Phoebe (Flycatcher). He's a resident of Northern California and Southwestern U.S.</p>

<p>This was taken Monday at the Stillwater wildlife refuge near Fallon Nevada. I remembered to set my 7d for the fast frame rate and was able to get a series of nice shots of this Egret taking off. I had the 70-200 2.8L with the 2x converter. Now I know what the 600mm and 800mm are for. The birds spooked really easily. They have permanent blinds set up in some places to enable you to get closer to the birds. I just shot form the car as I was a little pressed for time. No wonder Lupo's egg is sweating with that heavy blanket of bacon wrapped around it.</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you so much Daniel.</p>

<p>The Pelican migration seems to be in full swing here along the Kansas-Missouri border. The Oxbow lake of the Lewis & Clark State Park had somewhere around two thousand Pelicans on it and a few Canadian Geese and one lone Bald Eagle whom was very shy. But with all those birds in the air, who could have resisted!</p><div></div>

<p>Nathan, I hope you are enjoying the Kayak, they can be great fun. Last week on a reservoir this gentleman was putting on a skills show. Able to turn on a dime in the middle of a bunch of anchored boats. At least it looked impressive to a non sailor like myself.</p><div></div>

<p>JDM,</p>

<p>Which refuge is that?</p>

<p>Sorry - it's the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge (<a href="http://www.fws.gov/refuge/crab_orchard/">link</a>). The university, the Shawnee National Forest, many state parks, and the lake and wildlife places--these are the things that keep me here, despite the "central location"* That same day, I got deer, grebes, geese, a heron, and some other misc. creatures. <br /> ________<br /> *"central location" is real estate code for "equally far from everywhere"</p>

<p>From last night's landing.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks, JDM. I knew you were in the midwest and that pond looked similar to one at Muscatatuck NWR in Indiana. I'll have to check Crab Orchard out if I'm out that way.</p>

<p>After resurrecting my dead EOS-3, I had to test it. Nothing remarkable on this test roll but all the images came out. I pronounce the patient fit for duty. :)</p><div></div>
