<p>Here are a few photos from a weekend in Amsterdam.<br />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.<br>

<p>Why is it that the Nikon Wednesdays get more activity than Canon Thursday?<br>

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. </p><div></div>

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

<p>A few miles down the road an overlook provided a great view of the canyon carved out by Little River</p><div></div>

<p>A few from the garden this week.</p>

<p>This bird is nesting in one of the boxes, it doesn't like people in the back near the box..<br>

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) </p><div></div>

<p>and some orange..</p><div></div>

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

<p>Sounds like fun, Maria. Who did all the mopping up afterwards? :-)<br>

How did you trigger the flash?</p>

<p>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. <br>

The speedlight was radio-triggered. I have the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT with a radio trigger. <br>

And it was fun - I'll be trying it again.</p>
