<p>The year end approaches, and for many of us in the northern hemisphere our thoughts turn more to interior activities rather than to outdoor ones. My shot is of a large chandelier that caught my eye in a store.</p><div></div>

Dreamy sunset, Jeff.<br>

Louis, I like the portrait. She appears in pensive mood.</p><div></div>

<p>I had a morning walk along the River Thames going up Cliveden Reach yesterday. These are some of the birds I saw.<br />All are the images shown are the full frame.<br>

<p>I've been doing some post processing on a few images from last spring.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken with Canon 50d & 24-105 zoom with flash. It's hard to get a child at play, in a cluttered room, to be still long enough to get a good shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Canon SL-1 with 18-55 STM lens; pop-up flash.</p>

<p>iced in this week</p><div></div>

<p>I've been busy restoring scanned photos of my family from the nineteenth century - none taken with an EOS camera! So here is a picture of a yellow-bellied sapsucker taken today - focusing at f/8 with the 7D2 works very well. EOS 7D2 / EF 500mm f/4 IS II + EF 2.0x TC-II; 1/500s at F/8.0 ISO 800 (tripod)</p><div></div>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=4745425">thom polimeros</a>, I like your wetlands series very much. An excellent group of images this week. Thank you, everyone.</p>

<p>thanks Charles.....luckily this lagoon/wetlands is just down the hill from where i was hoping to catch a sunrise...so the morning wasn't a total washout.....:)</p>
