Apparently there was a lunar eclipse not too long ago that lasted quite awhile and turned the moon a rare red color. I don't believe it was visible from the U.S. though. I'm sure JDM can add more about this. </p> <p>I didn't take many photos at all this week unfortunately, but I did play with a photo of a flower (a tulip I guess, I'm not a flower expert either). Of the small amount of snaps I took in the yard this was the only one with acceptable sharpness, exposure, etc. It was pretty bland in color and the b/w alowed me to black out the background without making the photo suffer. Certainly not my favorite photo, but I try to post a photo taken during the past week if at all possible. </p> <p>Let's see what you guys and gals shot this week. Anyone get the eclipse?</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjmeade Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 <p>My friends got married and asked me to take the photos. It was only the 2nd wedding I had done in over 25 years.<br> The 5D+Sigma 50/1.4 and 5D+24-105 both worked well, but my 7D developed an error 30 problem, which made life a little stressful.<br> <br />This was one of the getting ready shots straight out of the camera.<br /><a title="The Knight Wedding by Peter Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3017/5825658374_e331f50804_z.jpg" alt="The Knight Wedding" width="426" height="640" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbkissel Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 <p>What a terrific start to Canon Thursday this week. You folks never cease to amaze me with you skill and eye for composition. I pat you all on the back!</p> <p>Nathan - looks like it might be some type of lily.<br /> Brad - I believe the pup is posing for you.<br /> Jeff S - speechless.<br /> Lupo - what time is dinner this evening?<br /> Tomek - interesting exploration of contrast.<br /> Michael E - I like the waxwings. Nice to get three in one shot!<br /> James D - looks like he's saying, "Are you going to take the photo or what?" Nice portrait.<br /> Ervin - brrrr. Looks a little like an HDR.<br /> Spencer - looks like these are sprouting right out of the earth.<br /> Bruce - great colors. Get that horizon out of the center!<br /> DL - big, bold, flashy colors...love it!<br /> Lee D - very nice. I don't have a good shot of a blue jay. I'll keep trying.<br /> Karen W - I like the "half" shot of the dandelion. I wonder if this type of shot could be improved with slightly more depth of field. Good conversion.<br /> Mike N - terrific family photo; next time get that letter thingie out of there. Cute kid!<br /> Phil B - where is that bandshell?<br /> Peter M - sorry to hear about the 7D problems. At least you had the backup. Good portrait.<br /> Jan - I don't know what it is either; from a search online, it looks like it might be a Velorex Oskar.<br /> Wayne - nice flower. Looks like the orange bits are glowing.<br /> Hadi - good fun shot.</p> <p>This is a tiny, tiny fly - about the length of a a sharpened pencil lead. The body is iridescent.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds_meador Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 <p>The lunar eclipse was supposed to appear during moon rise in South America. However, I never saw it. So, here is a shot from last week. I took my daughter to the beach to fly her kite and then we took pictures of the fishermen and boats. Here's one of those pictures in an attempt at B & W conversion.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
