Canon Thursday Photo 2011: #37

Happy Thursday everyone! I know, a little early again, but I now have to wake up even an hour earlier (5:30am) to make it to school

by 8:00 due to one of our two major bridges being completely closed for unexpected repairs. Now we have a daily nightmare of traffic

to get twice the cars across one bridge. Anyways, enough of my groaning. The internet is out here at home so I am posting from my

iPhone to get things going. I will post a photo later in the day. Can't wait to see all those photos!

<p>Set out early for this one this morning.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a shot from last week. Elvis is still alive and well at the County Fair!</p><div></div>

<p>This is some ornamental grass after a rainstorm. I used a radio trigger flash off-camera and converted to black and white with a little of the original color showing through.<br>

<p>Now for something completely different! <br>

I moved my dining room table over to set up my camera and take this shot of the reflection from the darkening window shade onto the panel beneath the window.</p><div></div>

<p>I like this thread. Maybe it will be inspiration for me to get up off of my lazy @$$ and get the considerable back-log of material from last year's cross-country trip EDITED and uploaded to my website. (Life gets in the way, eh?)</p>

<p>... not that all my photos will be as cool as this one!</p>

<p>We spent last week on Cape Cod, and had every kind of weather you could imagine. Fortunately the misty and rainy days were not entirely lost for photo opportunities.</p><div></div>

Not photo related but do u happpen to live in the lousville area, we had a major bridge shut down this week as well,

<p>It was a misty morning a day before yesterday, I was having breakfast but after looking into the window, I just squeezed what left of the food into me in one gulp and jumped out of the house into the forest, just across the road.</p>

<p>Second try</p><div></div>

<p>I was catching the late evening light, photographing herons and deer at the park when my battery died. I swapped it out and put it down on the bench and continued to shoot until it was so dark I figured the ranger would be chasing me out soon. Grabbed my bag and headed out anxious to get home and see what I had. When I got home what I saw was that I didn't have the battery. I don't usually get up real early on Sunday mornings, but had to get back to the park before it rained or someone else claimed the battery. I was happy that I thought to take my camera. This is what greeted me at 7 am Sunday morning.Canon EOS 20D, EF 20mm f2.8, ISO 200, f8, HDR from a series of five shots.</p><div></div>

<p>Shawna Ingraham, driving the #14, is one of the lady drivers that regularly mix it up with the big boys at Wall Stadium Speedway. This is her first season behind the wheel of a race car. While she has yet to win a feature race, she is competitive. (#77 would go on to win this event). A junior in high school, Shawna is 17 years old.</p><div></div>

<p>I had a very nice day at Lord's Cricket Ground, watching some one day international cricket.<br>

<p>I added a few comments to last week's Thursday thread. I've had a few inquiries about how to find the older threads once they scroll off the Canon forum page. There are probably other ways, but I just click on the current thread. Right below the blue "Welcome to Photonet" banner at the top of this page, you can see the link for all of the past Canon Thursday threads...<br>

<p>I was excited to attend the air show at Smith Reynolds Airport in Winston Salem, NC this past weekend. This is always a good show with lots of air action. This year was no exception. One of the reasons I like this show is the lighting; perfect for good in-flight shots. Nice white fluffy clouds and bright blue sky made some great backdrops. </p>

<p>Here is an F-104 Starfighter. This airplane was conceived in 1953 and a modified version still holds the low altitude speed record. Shot with a 7D, AI Servo, w/70-200 f/2.8L II.</p>

<p>Sorry, the photo was too large. </p><div></div>

<p>Well it's fall sports season at my school. Unfortunately, I get paid well by my school to videotape games so it is difficult to shoot as much as I would like with my 7D. But I did get this game on Tuesday. Melvin Snoh is our senior captain and one of the top players in the state. As a result he often gets pulled and tripped, as he did in this play, inside the box, but, of course, it was Melvin so the ref's whistle remained silent. We won 1-0.</p><div></div>
