<p>I was tempted to disguise the pic of the week thread as a 5D II vs 7D thread since the one we had this week has over 125 responses while last weeks POW thread has only 80. Anyways, I'm sure lots of Canon cameras and equipment was received over the holidays so lets put it all to good use and post the photos.</p>

<p>It's not Pileated, but Red-Bellied will definitely do for now. This guy has been around our yard quite a bit lately, but he's still not easy to approach. I finally got him in the viewfinder, but with only a 70-200mm I had to do quite a bit of cropping. Everyone can talk about megapixels all they want, but I'm thrilled at the results of such a hefty crop from "only" 8MP. The 70-200mm lens also helps quite a bit in the quality of the crop, its a great lens.</p><div></div>

7D + 24-70 lens.</p><div></div>

<p>I just cant seem to take enough shots of my favorite feathered friend.</p><div></div>

<p>I always plan on taking some photographs of the Christmas decorations my wife puts out. Unfortunately, I never get to it before she packs them away. Finally, courtesy a snowstorm on the East coast, I was able to find some time to do it today. Here is one I liked the most.<br>

<p>How hard can this be, really?</p><div></div>

<p>Got outside this week but not far, managed to snap this on my back fence.</p><div></div>

<p>Hope you don't mind if I post a picture of a weapon. But this artifact has an history to tell. It's a FCM 36, a french tank from the late thirties, only one survived nowadays, preserved in Musée des Blindés, Saumur (France). In 2009 it was restored to running order (after a few years of work). The Museum's crew managed to find a 90 years old tank commander, who fought in one of these in 1940. They invited him to make a test run, and the old guy had a lot of fun, as you can see on Youtube: <br /><a href=" </div>

<p>Weather got better over the last 7 days and shooting outside was more pleasant that the weeks before. Again a shot from a small teenager gathering.<br>

<p>I visited a local art school this past week. The students are out for holiday, but the director let me walk around the property. I found this work of art in a courtyard.</p><div></div>

<p>Its that time of the year; its cold outside! </p><div></div>

<p>Been doing some street photography lately. This is in Downtown Houston. Shot with Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II and 5D Mark II. Post processed with Aperture and NIK Viveza 2.</p><div></div>

<p>Courtesy of Storm Benedict, this is on of 2 feet worth of snowflakes I was shoveling yesterday. <br>

Oh and the only gear I got for Christmas this year was a customized camera strap (but then that's all I asked for ).</p>
