<p>Happy Thursday everyone! The internet works this week so I can post a photo to start off the thread. School has still been busy but I managed to stop by a promising Wood Duck location between classes to poke around for a minute. I didn't have my waders or enough time to stake out a spot and wait for a good shot, but I did take this from the bank. The ducks are skittish so its hard to approach them. The photo is a pretty hefty crop, but the 16 MP of the 1D IV was on my side.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all,<br>

here is a photo of a bird feeder outside my apartment:<br>

<p>No shooting this week. Here is another one from the fair a couple of weeks ago. Note the man with his feet on the ground is holding up 5 people! That's a lot of weight, even if they all do look very light.</p><div></div>

<p>I took several flower shots in my back yard this week, and after reviewing them for a bit I ditched them all. DOF was too shallow for the large hibiscus blossoms. So for this week's posting I pulled up an older photo (earlier this summer) and processed it. Hood ornament of a 1940-something Pontiac. Amazingly, the glossy black paint was original.</p><div></div>

<p>Reaching into my archives, here's a shot of the Kinzie Street bridge in Chicago with the Canon 15mm fisheye lens from several years ago.</p><div></div>

<p>I had a trip to Lord's last weekend for some cricket and then a trip to the Royal Berkshire Show. <br />There's a shot from one of the showing classes here http://www.photo.net/photo/14252732 <br />The best fun was the scurry racing, in which very small carriages, pulled by ponies are timed around a course.<br>

<p>First band promo shoot.</p><div></div>

<p>Just another fly ...</p><div></div>

<p>The goalie was able to save this one but we eventually won 2-nil. </p><div></div>

<p>I finally got out to a soccer game this fall. The light was harsh and I couldn't seem to find any angle good to be able to shoot the kids from my school.</p><div></div>

<p>Wood Stork</p><div></div>

<p>Nowhere near Lupo's level, but i'll keep trying.<br />Here's a tomato, basil, cheese, bacon strip (ob epic mealtime) on wheat, grilled for 7 minutes.<br />5d2, 50 2.5 macro, F16.<br>

@ Randy Cooprider , Last weeks apple: Red Delicous. <br />Good call! I think it is. You don't see those much in NL.<br />I never heard of them. But the tough skin and bad for cooking fit.. <br />at least they look stunning when polished.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Nathan, got to love those wood ducks. I think the Mandarins and woodies are the two most colorful of the duck family. <br>

I'll add some comments to last week's batch this evening. Pressed for time today.</p>

<p>This bride was a natural at working the camera. Her lovely smile just lit up the place. She was having her portrait done and I couldn't resist a shot too. I was actually a fair distance away and shot this with the 100mm L Macro. Heavily cropped to work it as a portrait from a landscape orientation. Processed the RAW image in DPP and final edits/cropping in PSP X4. Resized in Picasa for display here.</p>

<p>My contribution this week is another Morning Glory. You can see that this one is growing up a corn stalk. The bees have been going in and out of the flower leaving the white pollen on the flower. One visited while I was there, but I was careful not to bother him as bee stings are potentially fatal to me. (Epi-pen was close by.)<br /> Nice pictures so far this week everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>An assignment for a music themed photo. 2 lights. One behind and above, another on camera, bounced up.</p><div></div>

<p>I found this Japanese Cherry tree blooming while on a walk this week. Just in time for the fall foliage tours. It was a very young one, and the only one blooming out of a hundred or so. Canon 7d, EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM</p><div></div>

<p>Had to pull the macro lens out of the bag this week.</p><div></div>
