<p>Taken soon after I got my 5d2 (otherwise I'd be in the Nikon forum). I went to one of my favorite landscape places in Humboldt County.<br>

5d2, 1/400 sec, ISO 400, Tokina 150-500, f?<br>

Makes me want to walk into it.</p><div></div>

<p>I went to the seattle aquarium with my best friend over the weekend. I liked the starfish, cause it was in this super long tank that had strong water currents blowing through it about every 20 seconds, which explains all the bubbles in the background.</p>

<p>Trying out some sort of texture shots, really liked the symmetry of the leaves...they just kept moving in the wind. I quite like the way the focus shifts through the image.<br>

50D 60mm Iso 200 f2.8 1/125</p><div></div>

<p>Quick comments here on a few that really caught me:<br /> Just Page 1 now:<br /> Josh -- some tough light and a tough angle you tried to deal with. B&W helps though.<br /> Bueh -- love the color and pose. Did you ask her to pose for photo directly?<br /> Matti -- indeed, an evocative, <em>sui generis</em> autumn photo, but with emotion. (I sure don't miss raking leaves)<br /> Mark -- biplane, smoke and power, just an iota more of space where wing touches your frame<br /> Simon -- funny! these chameleons are funny looking all the time; nice pose<br /> Jeff -- lots of fun for that happy kid and the puddle and the yellow jacket (and fun for viewer), LOL!<br /> Vladimer -- red, in your face!<br /> Paul -- superb, pale portrait. Excellent.</p>

<p>What else is cool? The fact that most posters provided a narrative on the Reason Why -- the reason behind the shot. Excellent. (however, still a couple are posting too large - Y-axis - images)<br /> WHAT MOTIVATED you to take the shot? Just typing the numbers/tech data is **boring**.</p>

<p>These low light, handheld shots are always a challenge. The VC helps, obviously. I especially liked the flag in this shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Quick comments here on a few that really caught me:<br />Just Page <strong>TWO </strong>now:</p>

<p>Dan - nice, but too large :(<br /> Louis - to catch a buttefly catching the flowers... well done, the red flowers really help this image.<br /> William - harsh mid-day light still makes for a nice picture though.<br /> Mark - on my side in your mall B&W, shopping cart looks out of place there.<br /> Andy - probably something good but we won't see it... :(<br /> Robert - scary indeed, i love it. Nice framing. Motivations? Luck of the draw?<br /> Scott - tilted, a bit glary too. Close one.<br /> Dave - superb and good story too about these new jet planes, wonderful! What an age we live in.<br /> Doug - rather cute. You KNOW that anyway.</p>

<p>Are Canon shooters 98% male? What?</p>

<p>I was recently on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. A ranger recommended I drive out to the Marble Overlook for a night of camping under the stars. As the sun was starting to go down I noticed the wind was picking up. I also noticed that the trees on the overlook were all shaped strangely and it occurred to me they were sculpted by blowing wind.</p>

<p>I wanted to capture an image of the overview and also the sculpted shape of a lone tree against the backdrop of the Grand Canyon; this picture is the result of that effort.</p><div></div>

<p>I was taking my grocers in to the house when I saw this dragonfly flying around, witch is rare beacuse they stay down by the pond. Then the dragonfly settled down on a outdoor chair and I grabbed my camera and made a few pictures before it decided to move on. With opportunities like this I feel like saving even money up for a true macro lens. I'll get there some time soon. But in the mean time I still enjoy viewing what I can make with my current equipment.</p><div></div>

<p>Out looking for bugs again. 5DM2, MP-E 65mm @5X, MT-24EX+Diffuser, ISO 100, 1/200, f/5.6 (f/33.6). Immature milkweed aphid climbing on adults underneath a milkweed leaf. The little one is about 2/3 of mm long.</p><div></div>

<p>Came across this guy as I walked by the train station in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Thought he looked cool. Music was pretty good too. EOS 7D, 1/20, f/4, ISO 100, EF-S 17-55mm @ 51mm.</p><div></div>
