The general guidelines for these Thursday threads are <a rel="nofollow" href="../canon-eos-digital-camera-forum/00X9hq"><strong>right here</strong></a>. Remember: only one image each week!</p> </blockquote> <p>It's about that time. Thursday is almost here and I'm about to go down for the night so I'm kickin' this thing off. In the Casual Photo Conversations forum there is a thread about photography related <a href="../casual-conversations-forum/00Y5r8">New Year's Resolutions</a>. Go tell everyone what yours are, and if they relate to your photo this week, tell us about it. Mine is to get a good shot of all seven woodpecker species that occur in Indiana. Well, the Red-Bellied and Downy are checked off, just five more to go, and we all know which one is at the top of that list. </p> <p>In the midst of my recent bird obsession, I actually shot something other than a bird this week, although my intent was to find birds. I made a short drive up to the Muscatatuck NWR on Friday after a fresh snow to use my new 400mm f/5.6L and maybe shot some birds and waterfowl. After arriving and checking with the visitor's center, I was informed that otters were very active in certain lakes and ponds. It didn't take me long to find these guys and I spent the rest of my time up there shooting them. It was a nice change of pace to shoot something other than birds. Hopefully it'll be a nice change of pace for you guys too. The same woodpecker photo was starting to lose it's luster.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 <p>Shucks, all my Canon EOS work this week has been taking pictures of OTHER cameras. Here are a couple of generation 2 Praktiflex cameras -- the direct ancestor of the Praktica.<br> I did buy an EOS 630 yesterday, so watch the <strong>Modern Film Cameras forum</strong> in a week or two (shameless promotion for the new forum here).</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pksswat Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 <p>I went out to capture a sunset, but couldn't get there fast enough. So while walking thru the neighborhood, took a snap of a few people out for an evening stroll. (Canon D60, Tamron 24-135, f4, 1/10, ISO400, 47mm)<br /> <a title="An Evening Stroll" href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5299/5391847787_d5889e312f_b.jpg" alt="An Evening Stroll" width="700" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbkissel Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 <p>Hey Nathan, where did that woodpecker get the otter suit? (Nice shot!)</p> <p>I should probably title this one, "Here he is again, torturing me while he plays with the lighting."</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds_meador Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 <p>I have not shot much of anything this week. So, here's another shot from the Festa Pomerana in Pomerode, Santa Catarina, Brazil. This young girl was watching the folk dances. She was also watching me take pictures. So, I asked if I could take her picture. She nodded that I could, but had a dead, stone cold look on her face. As I was about to take the shot this little smile appeared. Her family loved seeing the shot on the LCD, but did not ask me for a copy. I also got to shoot her sister and brother.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickArnold Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Massimo. That, I think, its been a long time, is a 57mm recoilless rifle on that scooter. I fired that weapon in the early fifties as a firing range instructor. It was very accurate if you knew the exact range. You could fire a 57 mm projectile from your shoulder. The backblast from the weapon was pretty spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenPapai Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 <p>Really nice photos here already! E.g., love that effect Robert with the approaching train.<br> This shot I am posting is from SF looking north into the Marin with Mt. Tam near the center, the clouds helped a lot for the depth.<br> EOS 7D, 16-35 and f/11.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertsarkozi Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 <p>One shot I took last week.
