<p>It's Thursday again. I hope everyone's week is going well. Apparently middle America is getting hit hard with yet another snow storm. I think were going to dodge it here in Indiana however. It was about 25 deg. F today, and, I can't believe it, but its supposed to be in the upper 50's and near 60 this weekend and Monday. So if you get some of the nice weather, I hope you can get out and enjoy it for a little while. I plan on playing golf Monday.</p>

<p>I recently started shooting photos for the Louisville Cardinal, which is the University of Louisville's school newspaper. I had the privelidge of shooting the men's basketball game against DePaul last weekend so here's a shot from the game.</p>

<p>Sorry caption was wrong, so photo was deleted. Here it is. Just doing my part to get more posts than Nikon. :)</p><div></div>

<p>Nice shot Horse, I can hear CCR in the background.</p>

<p>Vietnam War Memorial, January 2011</p><div></div>

<p>Nothing special from a pure technical point of view, but the subject is pretty unique and aviation enthusiasts may like it. It's an Hafeli DH-1, the first plane fully designed and produced in Switzerland. In 1916 Thun Arsenal build six of these. One still survives in Dubendorf Plane Museum, near Zurich</p><div></div>

<p>I caught these junior artists having their lunch at the Surajkund Mela, an annual arts and crafts fair that takes place in a Suburb of Delhi, showcasing artisans from all over India. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see them perform. (Canon 40D, EF-S17-55, f8, 1/250, Apert. Prior +1/2, Built-in flash on at -1/2, ISO 200, 28mm).<br>

Here's mine<div></div>

<p>Hi Everyone. I would like to thank Nathan for the wonderful job he is doing running this forum. Keep up the good work! I'm hoping as well that we can get more posts than Nikon this week.<br /> <br /> My contribution this week is in keeping with the Color theme that I have been working on. I know it is kind of late for Christmas ornaments, but I had to get a photo before they were put away.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://indy.smugmug.com/2011/Projects/February-Project-COLOR/20110206Ornaments/1183132768_wyWi7-X3.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <strong>Ornaments</strong>, 40d, 85mm, ISO100, f16, 20s</p>

<p>Been full of flu and not shot much. This was from our major family holiday a couple of years ago. Shot from the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge.<br>

<p>Looked out the window and saw this awesome sky and had to get the picture. Unfortunately I didn't have my tripod so I had to hand hold it.<br>

Hello All. I haven't posted for a couple of weeks but I did go shooting at the L.A. Zoo this past weekend. I

must have counted at least 8 different photographers walking around with white Canon lenses. It felt good

to be there among the Canon folk.

 

 

5DmkII w/ 70-200mm 2.8L IS II;

 

Focal Length: 142mm., ISO-100, F5.6, 1/320s.<div></div>

<p>My comments to the pictures so far:<br>

Nathan: Great action shot, well captured<br>

Horse Engle: Almost surreal colors, imho, with the grey trees inbetween, i like it!<br>

Gil Pruitt: The red pops in, cool. Was it planed or a snapthot on the street? To bad the front wheel is "cut"<br>

David Cavan: Lines leed into the picture, almost b/w feeling, but i sense some color, great mood for the subject<br>

Massimo Foti: This makes me love the big, safe planes, imagine flying in one of those wood boxes...<br>

Praveen Kumar: Colorful and they seemed to have fun<br>

Mark Kathurima: Great seperation of light and darkness with by the corrugated metal. Good exposure<br>

Indy Nandrajog: And i thought I am always late putting these things away. Great colors and lighting.<br>

James Dean: What a great water color and in large it must be great, with all the boats. Btw, is the Golden Gate bridge open for pedestrials?<br>

Spencer Chrouser: Wonderful colors, great texture in the sky. I would have loved just a little bit more of the city at the bottom, as my view wanders towards it, as the skytexture leads there<br>

Brad: Strong picture, great pose!<br>

Lupo Lobo: Now i am hungry, thank you :)<br>

Rafael Delgado: Relaxing pose, a little hairy model</p>

<p>Alexander Hamilton Portrait Engraving - U.S. Twenty Dollar Note<br>

EOS 300D, Polaroid Tominon 135mm f/4.5 on Novoflex bellows, ISO 100</p><div></div>

<p>Another shot of my daughter, she is such a willing model for me. Love the Nana knitted coat and the colour.</p><div></div>

<p>Haven't had a chance to do much shooting this week but I did play around with an image taken two weeks ago. Hey, it was either play around in PS or grade test papers. </p><div></div>

<p>Midwinter break from the drab and dreariness. Sun popped out for most of the day, so grabbed this right after school. Good sports both of them; it was 15 degrees with a wind chill of -1. 5DmkII w/ C-Y 35-70mm 3.4; Focal Length: 70mm, ISO-100, F5.6, around 1/400th sec with +2/3 for the snow.</p>

<p>Oops...too big.</p><div></div>

<p>Nothing special from me this week. Practicing my birds in flight technique. The 7D's focusing does a great job of that. Makes it reasonably easy to get decent results. I've set these up as one of the custom settings for repeatability. This was shot with the 70-200 II.</p><div></div>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Shot Tuesday, still workin' on it...</p><div></div>

<p>Some times you just get the shivers. Florida Scrub Jay last Sunday.</p><div></div>
