Canon Thursday Pic 2011: #8

[kts]

<p>really like Brad's pool hall shot and also Mark's ostrich portrait.....nice work guy's</p>

<p>i spent about 3 hours in tinkers creek gorge yesterday and snapped this one at one of my favorite stops right below buttermilk falls....lots of downed trees and large branches from the ice storms this winter</p><div></div>

<p>I got some shots of this guy in the trees, too, but had to crop in to about a 1 mp image. Guess I need some longer lenses to do bird photography, but I sort of like this shot of him getting an easy meal.</p><div></div>

<p>Usually at the Missouri Botanical Garden, I photograph inside, but this caught my eye.<br>

We had spring for a while, but now late winter seems to have returned, but not for long, not for long. :)</p><div></div>

<p>ISO 3200 on the 7D can be very clean. I only use ACR 6 to process my raws, including noise reduction. However, reducing a 18MP image to a tiny 700 px Web display image for this forum in itself provides a level of "noise reduction" too. (But still, my prior 40D at ISO 3200 is nearly unusable.)</p>

<p>Your photos: <br /> Nathan - nice use of the 85L on the dog. Excellent.<br /> Brad - B&W interior pool, bar shot from the notorious SF 'hood is pretty good.<br /> Albert - looks like stage 1 thrusters of the Saturn V; excellent POV, Wally Schirra, Apollo 7. Wally flew Mercury, Gemini, & Apollo. What a man.<br /> James - proud poodle!<br /> DS M - flower could be sharper, camera movement? Wind? Or not enough sharpen in post?<br /> Tony C - image link broken (maybe blocked here - picturesocial.com)<br /> Horse - very pretty sunset over the lake & pier<br /> Jeff - gritty as usual, this time in L.A.<br /> Lupo - iconic foodie photog you are! Fun. Yum<br /> Spencer - delish pizza pie! Yum too.<br /> Indy - no photo, broken link? Or maybe your site blocked?<br /> David C - old, color roof house from France seemingly lost in the weeds<br /> Andre - nice stark B&W coverage child portrait with a great pose!<br /> Alex - humor, candy, fake sadness - buy this sugar for me please! LOL, well done.<br /> Mark K - tired dog, all chill, and narrow DOF; cool.<br /> Karen W - another "sparse" child portrait all active totally white-out background - nicely done with your technical studio skill.<br /> John H - deep B&W study of guitar player close-up on the strings, wonderful.<br /> Mark K - that ostrich! Again? Humorous to say the least. Something about those birds.<br /> Bueh - well done again; you know your craft and your subjects so well. Great work.<br /> Dan P - photo of an EOS photog; as it is, documentary style.<br /> Kerri - no photo. ?<br /> Robert C - intentional blur, striving for an effect on Philly?<br /> Stijn - Lock, Stock, & 2 Smoking Barrels ehh? Friends? Enemies? Bill collectors?<br /> Harry J - my man! ;-) Crisp, clear Miami Beach scene with nice"Rules" elements in effect. late afternoon? Slight tilt on the horizon.</p>

<p>Oso the Chihuahua letting a newcomer to the dog park know who the boss is. Pretty much the standard greeting from Oso. Some one abandoned Oso at the dog park and he was taken home by one of the regulars who has now found Oso a permanent home. Oso is now King of the dog park.

<p>There was very uncertain weather in Yosemite, but a couple of the wack-meisters and I decided to chance it and go up Sunday and try for the "firefall" on Horsetail. It happenned for me on Tuesday. The falls were barely running, there was very little breeze, but the sun peeped through the clouds at just the right time. The woman who was singing "You Are My Sunshine" made it all happen.<br>

<p>BTW, those bright red spots were really there. I don't know what they were or why they were so bright.</p>

<p>Ken,<br>

I shot it at ISO 100, f/8 and 1/160s with the EF-S 55-250IS. It was a fairly windy afternoon, so that's my guess. General sharpening in post with PSE7 was applied.<br>

I guess I should have shot at ISO200 and had a higher shutter speed.<br>

Thanks for asking.<br>

<p>From a jr wrestling tournament this past week. It was unbelievable just how fast these kids were flying around the mat (not to mention how bad the lighting was!) next time I'm renting a 1.8! Great photos again this week everyone.</p><div></div>
