Canon Thursday Pic 2010: #15

<p>Yet another Thursday is here, and if you live in the U.S. hopefully you and your relatives got home safely from the Thanksgiving traveling and from the crazy shopping weekend. Last week's POW thread had poor attendance, but I'm sure a lot of that can be credited to the holiday weekend. I can't wait to see all the photos this week and hopefully we'll be back in full force.</p>

<p>My Dad runs a premiere high school basketball tournament every December and for the past few years I've designed the program cover for him. This is the 30th year of the tournament so for the design I tried to make a photo that uses memorabilia from the past 30 years. The trophy in the background is one from 1987, my Dad made every trophy himself by hand and painted them, including Runner-up, 3rd, 4th, 5th place, and All Tourney Team trophies. I remember as a kid watching him make them at the kitchen table. Now he has them made by a company, but it always fascinated me how good my Dad was at working with his hands.</p><div></div>

<p>Sailing home on the ferry Wednesday evening (12/1) I was lucky to have a gorgeous sunset happening. What a scene! 7D and 24-70 lens, ISO 200, f/5.6,</p><div></div>

<p>Morning all.<br>

Just a quick one from me. Been so busy with the help portrait project and work not had time for some casual photography, so this is another from the previous week. Think you could call this the stink eye?</p><div></div>

<p>Saw this gate handle and quite liked it, I think i have a thing for this type of image :-)</p><div></div>

<p>I have foster cats again and I had to take a picture of a small wound in the ear of one of them for further evaluation. So I used my EF12mm extension tube and while I had this macro setup on my camera, I snapped a couple of "more normal" close-up pictures, too.<br>

f/4.5, 1/60 sec, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>Nothing exciting over the Thanksgiving holidays. This little house sparrow lit on a nearby limb. Didn't have my flash handy so had to use the popup on the 7D.</p><div></div>

<p>I spent my week with my sister and her family, her in laws, and my parents (who drove from Florida) in Pennsylvania. This was taken on Thanksgiving Day as my sister's brother in law carved the turkey. Her dog, Princess, patiently waiting for her hand out.<br>

<p>Not really the expression I was hoping for. My son showing his disapproval for having to sit still for more than 2 seconds.<br>

<p>I was in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil for Thanksgiving with some friends. It was nice going for early morning walks on the beach. Here's a shot of some fishermen pulling in their net shortly after sunrise.<br>

And, thanks to Hadi Khademi for his comment on my photo last week.</p><div></div>

<p>It was cold the day I shot this, so I just found something to shoot in the basement.</p><div></div>

<p>Well done to all, very nice images.</p><div></div>

<p>I was driving by these mustard fields when I spied this solitary tree along with the broken down structure through the roadside trees. I had to make a u-turn and take a couple of snaps. (Canon D60, Tamron 24-135, f8, 1/250, 64mm, ISO 100)<br /> <a title="Khet101202_05bw by pksswat (Praveen), on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5206/5226487418_3c3d114197_z.jpg" alt="Khet101202_05bw" width="640" height="427" /></a></p>

<p>Some very well done work this week. Well, I too am in the drolls of late fall shooting. Starting to experiment indoors with lighting. This week featuring a little something - something from one of the "Collections". </p><div></div>
