<p>Happy Thursday everyone! Midterms are this week and then we get a four day weekend starting Saturday. I am taking full advantage and going to Blackwater Falls, WV to see the fall color. If you know of any must see spots, please let me know.</p>

<p>I was helping a friend move into a new house here in Kentucky this week and we saw this hawk land in a tree right above the roof. I grabbed the camera and fired off a few shots and here's what I got. I think it's a broad winged hawk, but I'm not 100% certain. If you have any insight, please share it. Thanks, and let's see those awesome photos!</p><div></div>

<p>Sheepdog trials were held in my community during the weekend. Dogs from throughout the nation competed. Their task was to round up sheep across a multi-acre field, herd them through two sets of gates, and ultimately into a pen. They did this in response to verbal commands and visual signals from their owners.<br /><br />A blustery Fall day on a beautiful farm. Too bad the angle of the sun was a little too direct most of the time.</p>

<p>We're finally having some nice weather. There was a fly-in at the local airport Saturday, and I was able to to do some shooting. This shot was not cropped--as it appeared in camera with some tweaking in Photoshop.<br /> <br /> EOS 7D<br /> EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM @ f/11, 1/250 sec.<br /> ISO 100<br /> Gitzo tripod<br /> Wimberley head</p><div></div>

<p>I've just bought my first film camera for over 30 years, it's a used EOS-1.<br />I'm still waiting for the film I ordered (TRI-X) to turn up.<br />Photographed with my iPod (RIP Steve Jobs).</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Guys<br>

I do not think my photos are as good as most I have seen. I have had my 550D for 2 weeks and am loving it.<br>

Here is my share I hope you enjoy.<img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/14346039-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>I didn't cook anything special this week, so i dashed into the garden where i found this.<br /> 5d2, 50 2.5 macro, flash 550, tripod.</p><div></div>

<p>The last of the flowers in our yard.</p><div></div>

<p>I was invited to shoot at Bridgeport Speedway this past weekend. First time there, it's a world apart from pavement. </p><div></div>

<p>The first large alligator that I have seen in weeks. </p><div></div>

<p>Too busy to even think right now. A quick snap.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Elliot, that's an intriguing image. There arn't many images that work equally well in the vertical and the square format, but this is one of them. Nicely done.</p>

<p>Frogs on a log. Not even leaves falling on them seem to disturb them. Shot at 250mm.</p><div></div>

<p>Very nice pics so far!<br>

I was able to make it back up to Carova NC this past weekend, and was rewarded with a couple of stallions sparring a little. No big, reared up posturing, just kicking a little sand around.<br>

I ran it through Photomatix Light to offset the harsh mid-day sun.</p><div></div>

<p>Fall is near as seen by the previous last flower shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Usually I'm a sports/young kids photography type of guy but I've started doing a fundraiser by doing portrait photos to support my church's summer mission trips. </p>

<p>Didn't get out this week. Just a couple of roses on the kitchen table. 5D2, 100L, 580 EX II and 270 EX II.</p><div></div>

<p>Been enjoying this thread lately and need to help out with the numbers. This is not from the last week but from a couple weeks ago out Piedra Rd., had been needing a "Photo Fix" outing so took the chance to drive the thirty miles even though the mountains were imminently shrouded in rain clouds. Left to right: Sugar loaf Mtn. and Toner Mtn.</p><div></div>

<p>From last week, the first white settler's cabin in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park.</p>
