guy_gervais Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Here's a shot from the Tulip Festival in Ottawa. Taken with my K10D - 70-300 Macro Tamron<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I went to one of the local ponds to make sure my camera and lens was ok after I dropped it...''ouch'' K10D and Sigma 24-70mm F/2.8....It fell about 4 feet. I think it actually works better now....Anyway Here is another fellow trying out his new camera and giant lens....Seems like every time I go there someone is testing something... <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5262/biglenses2.jpg' border='0'/></a> <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/2152/biglens1dm0.jpg' border='0'/></a> <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/9128/biglens2xc5.jpg' border='0'/></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I tried extension tubes too, with a 80-200 zoom - maybe not the best combo. A friend lent me his tripod, and I had the "joy" of watching the whole apparatus pitch over onto some rocks. Ouch! But all gear seems okay. Even with the tripod, the macro pics were mostly junk - it was windier than I thought. A few good ones, though.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan lee Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Great pictures everyone. All of my best photos are the ones that got away whether they were taken through dirty plexi like Mathew's or I was caught off guard like Haig. Having that shot with the lady with the great expression on her face and the dog riding that carriage would have been awesome. One of my favorites is Javier's second shot with the bee flying away. It's a fantastic capture. I really like the color and clarity on Marz's fish. The composition is great too. I have a co-worker whose religion is fly fishing (he also releases them all unharmed) and those photos really capture the romance of the sport the way he describes it to me. I like Scot's 'Dreams...' shot too. Boats don't seem to move fast from the shore until you try to compose them in a shot. Nicely done. Congratulations, Javier on your newfound method to improve the functioning on lenses. I think I'll take your word for it though. I am curious to see the photos your subject is shooting in that pond though. The nose hair on a gnat that's sitting on the nose hair of a duck? I like your flower, Dave. It has a great visual flow with the petals streaming out like a bursting firework. Also some great cropping on both Guy and Nick's flowers. Makes them intriguing pictures. Very moving picture, Garry. Especially with the story behind it. Nick, I also love how fun "Whee!" is. Lastly, I hope the mini-MC2 is well. As for me, it was a windy day here in Florida which is rare and made it kind of a dramatic moody for me. I took a picture of this old farm house amidst an orange grove most likely slated for demolition (both the house and the grove) to make way for housing developments.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan lee Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 And then went down by the lake. Both of these were taken with my "new" 50mm f1.4 lens. This was the first day I played with it and it made a prime user out of me.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagar Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Wow, what great pictures everyone. Morgan I especially like that second shot of the dock. What can I say.. I am a sucker for b&w. <p> Gary, that's a very poignant capture <p> Cory : All four are awesome, I especially like the light on the last one. <p> Nick: That fern frond almost looks like an elephant's trunk.. very neat! <p> Javier: Can you give us more details on improving the k10d's functionality? lol. That is one seriously huge lens that guy is toting around..wow.<p> This one is for mini-Mc2 .. hope everything turned out alright! <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2233725290011358559PtuoaO"><img src="http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/2904/2233725290011358559S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="4433r"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory_zerkee Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I am just heading off to bed, but I will comment on a few pics (although I think they are all great). Morgan: I love the farmhouse shot. It's almost eerie. Del: The last shot you posted with the lightning is killer. That would make a great wallpaper in full size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del_gray Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I live in Kansas now - it comes my way every other day! I seriously have done four separate lightning shoots this week! These two were shot from my front door step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2imaging Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yup, first couple weeks in May are always good for weather pix in Kansas and Oklahoma. btw: when the fourm engine says you have to type something, spaces work just fine. Time to warm up my street shooting skills for River Fest, Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers should be a good show on Thursday (we should have hordes of swing dancers), and maybe fireworks after the wedding we are shooting on Saturday... I may have to just make my own River Fest thread! When am I going to find time to mow the lawn, plant flowers, and fix the A/C in the car? Maybe next week...

del_gray Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Matthew, I'm looking forward to shooting some of the summer events in Wichita as well, but this is the last week of classes and then finals week next week, and THEN some time for real shooting. Maybe I'll bump into you out there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
