Here are a few photos from a weekend in Amsterdam.
Although I took a 17-40/4 and 70-200/4 with me, all I used was a 5D3+24-70/4 IS. I may be taking less camera gear to Italy later this year.

Why is it that the Nikon Wednesdays get more activity than Canon Thursday?
Last week we visited Little River Canyon just south of Ft. Payne, AL, USA. Shots were taken with a Canon 50D using 24-105 zoom.

 

I would have thought the water was still a bit too cool for swimming, but apparently these boys didn't think so.

 

A few miles down the road an overlook provided a great view of the canyon carved out by Little River

 

A few from the garden this week.

 

This bird is nesting in one of the boxes, it doesn't like people in the back near the box..
So it's waiting for me to go back, so it can go feed the young (complete crop shows it has a green catepilar in it's mouth)

 

and some orange..

 

Flowers in the stream.

 

Steller's Jay.

Popped a couple of water balloons this week. Didn't exactly the shot I was after, but fun anyway.

 

Sounds like fun, Maria. Who did all the mopping up afterwards?
How did you trigger the flash?

 

There was no mopping actually. The balloons were suspended above the bathtub. I had a black reflector propped up in one corner. The water pretty much falls right down after the balloon is popped.
The speedlight was radio-triggered. I have the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT with a radio trigger.
And it was fun - I'll be trying it again.
