Canon FD Photo of the Month: November 2016

<p>It's November! And here it is, the one and only Canon FD POTM! Do it, do it, do it Canon FD (FL etc.) people! Let's see your beautiful shots!</p>

<p>I was in Shikoku, Japan over the weekend for a conference and the best shot I got was of Momo-chan the goat. Shot with an FDn 70-150/4.5. I am amazed how good this lens is. My camera was a black Fujifilm X-E1.</p>

<p>I shot this on Monday from our car. It was early in the morning. I cropped it to 16x9. Shot with the same lens and camera as above.</p><div></div>

Alex, IMO, the Canon FDn 70-150/4.5 lens is one of

their very best...incredible IQ...and if I had that

same lens in a 2.8 I'd think I'd died and gone

to heaven :)

<p>Dahlgren cannon? Could well be, this one is located near the Santa Monica pier entrance.</p>

<p>My favorite FD camera and lens</p>

<p>In the process of going through my Canon goodies, I gave my T90, FDn Macro 200mm f/4 lens, and Macro Ring Lite ML-3 a brief workout. I took a few Provia 100 shots of some autumn leaves. If any are worthy, I'll share one or two when the film comes back from Dwayne's.</p>

<p>Here's the setup:</p>

<p>Bill C, <br>

Your bird photos are great—you even get the catch-lights! I'd be interested in knowing more about your technique, set-ups, blinds, etc. As one who tried his hand at bird photography, I know how challenging it is. Kudos!<br>

<p>Just the normal basics /nothing special.<br />I do however strictly adhere to one operating principle in my photography...and that is:<br />"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then"<br />:)</p>

<p>Bill C that is a fantastic shot.</p>
