<p>Good Thursday to everyone. I better get this thing going before I fall asleep and forget like last week. Thanks again to everyone and Josh for getting the thread going. Hopefully everyone has had a chance to get out and get some nice shots this week. </p>

<p>The other day I went about 45 minutes north in Indiana with a friend that got a hot tip on some Bald Eagles. We saw an eagle...from about a half mile, but couldn't search the area very well as all the rain has flooded and closed most of the local roads. We drove for a couple hours and came up empty handed, but found a couple of Wood Ducks less than 5 minutes from his house. I had the pleasure of shooting off a couple shots with his EF 800mm f/5.6L. </p><div></div>

<p>Went to the beach this weekend to shoot some pictures and stopped by Morro Bay to see Morro Rock. Pretty cool place. The chipmunks there are especially odd, they'll run right up to you and sniff your feet and legs.</p>

<p>Went chasing the light on sunday... then I sprained my ankle somewhere in the nowhere and tore a ligament, kept taking pictures for another half an hour and then hobbled home...<br>

But, the pictures are worth the pain. </p><div></div>

<p>Happy Thursday Everyone!<br>

I am on a business trip this week and was not able to work on any photographs this week. Here is a photograph of my bedroom window I took earlier this month.</p>

<p>Here's mine. Our pet German reindeer who thinks he's a moose :D</p>

[kazwiltshire]

<p>Saw these neatly lined up just begging to have their photo taken. I was on a walk in the woods looking for "red" things to photograph which was pretty difficult this time of year. Kids found a few things but i liked these toadstoods.</p><div></div>

<p>@ Nathan - 800mm...handheld?! Good grief, I need to start working out more! Nice wood duck.<br />@ Brad - Not sure if that's a good or bad hair day for that chap. Great shot!<br />These first shots are just terrific this week folks. Thanks for raising the bar; now I have to really dredge my meager offering to see what I've got. Okay, here's one for an early Spring. We are just starting to see some nice Spring flowers. Thought the stamens/pistils looked interesting on this one.</p><div></div>

<p>Last Sunday was the big <em>Faschingsumzug</em> (the traditional carnival parade) in my home town here in Germany. I used the opportunity to further practise with the Ukrainian tilt adapter on my EOS dSLR. Let me tell you: For fast event/street photography it is not that well suited, but it produces very unique images. I am still practising -- both metering and manual focusing are quite different from regular lenses.<br />ISO 400, f/4 (probably), 1/800 sec</p><div></div>

<p>Looks like the folks here are starting to break out of winter and get some new shots, I know I want to. Brad, you know what they say, "the higher the hair, the closer to God". Here's a shot taken at the lake on a foggy winter day.</p><div></div>

<p>Nathan: THanks for starting the thread, and nice shot of the duck!<br>

I went out last Saturday, looking for a nature walk, and ended up at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in northern New Jersey. Weather was overcast, but I got an idea for the area, and will go back soon. Seems they set up feeders so the youngsters will have some birds to view that are close to the blinds. Shot this Tufted Titmouse on one of the feeders there.</p>

<p>The company I work for had a booth at the local home and garden show this past week, and we wanted a photo. I took the opportunity to try a bit of HDR tone-mapping, and everyone thought it turned out rather well considering the lighting in the building. Shot with the 50D, EF 20mm f2.8, ISO 400. I bracketed at one stop intervals across a two stop range from 1/4 sec to 4 sec exposures for the HDR image. No other post processing except for slight tweaks in Aperture and some sharpening. </p><div></div>
