<p>My red ribbon (2nd place) girl this last weekend. I have been advised she has now outgrown this pony. Great.</p><div></div>

<p>Took our granddaughter to the library for story time where a basket of toys was available. Naturally she went for the rocks.<br>

Canon T21, program mode, no retouch.</p><div></div>

<p>An evening in Annapolis, over the past weekend, using part of a pier as a tripod. It was graduation weekend at the Naval academy so there was lots of activity around the streets - a very nice feeling of Americana.</p><div></div>

<p>Unlike the folks in Midwest, we here in the sunshine state have had beautiful weather the past two weeks. Our time comes June 1st as hurricane season begins.<br>

At the beach, a flock of pelicans put on a show for about 20 minutes - skimming the surface, swirling overhead, before heading west into the sun. This is a crop.<br>

Thanks to all for sharing your talents!<br>

<p>Took this as part of a challenge for another board I belong to. Figured I had enough of them growing in the yard, might as well use them for something!<br>

<p>no, the eagle didnt really want to be photographed...I work at a wildlife rescue, and he can be pretty aggressive. had him for a couple months, recovering from a broken wing.</p>

[michael_elenko]

<p>I just returned from five days of shooting in the Eastern Washington desert and Central Washington transition lands.<br>

I haven't sorted anything yet, but conveniently this was among the last photos I took. This site was closer to the Cascade divide. It was raining and unseasonably cold.</p>

<p>This was stage 8 of the Amgen tour of California in Thousand Oaks on Sunday. Met a bunch of nice people that came out to watch it. Canon Xsi Sigma 24-70 at 24mm ISO 400 f/10 1/400</p><div></div>

<p>I rented an 85mm/1.2L II last weekend to shoot my daughter's boyfriend and his band at a beautiful old venue in Atlanta called the Buckhead Theater (formerly the Roxy). I was able to stand at the edge of the stage. It was my first time using this lens. Boy is the AF slow--I can't imagine what the Mk I was like. It was also my first time shooting a concert with no chance to practice beforehand.</p>

<p>After failing miserably in every way possible on test shots of an earlier band, I settled on high speed continuous drive, AI servo spot AF, aperture priority evaluative metering, and strong auto lighting optimizer (do people use that much?). The lighting changed way too fast (2.67 stops in 1/4 second at one point) for manual exposure. I even tried manual exposure with Auto ISO and realized that won't work at all when you also need to set any sort of exposure compensation. Nor is AE lock possible with Auto ISO and no way to link metering to the focus point when using spot metering (that made sense after I thought about it). So, exposure was all over the place.</p>

<p>I know this is old news to many, many people here, but I'm grateful there was an earlier band to practice on. And my daughter asked why I didn't just use Tri-X in my beloved Minolta SRT-102, her preferred medium. My hat's off to concert photographers from days of yore. Live & learn.</p>

<p>This shot was: 85mm (no cropping), ISO 400, 1/640 sec, f/1.2, exp. comp -1.0.</p><div></div>

<p>Not yesterday, thanks be.</p>

<p>This was some of the cleanup after our <a href="http://www.livescience.com/8586-huge-windstorm-spawns-classification-super-derecho.html">Super-Derecho</a> of May 8, 2008.</p>

<p>Yesterday all we had was tornados (which missed us) and ordinary (70mph +) winds.</p><div></div>

<p>Larry, that's a great shot especially considering it was your first concert shoot. And thanks for the warning on the AF hunting for the 85/1.2. My 85/1.8 is currently my favorite lens, and I think I'll stick with it awhile longer...</p>

<p>My concert shot is from my music school's annual youth music education benefit at a San Francisco club. This year's headline act was the funky METERS.</p>

<p>A gallery exhibit opening last weekend in Santa Monica, CA. Tons of people showed up, but this was shot right before they closed up for the night.</p>

<p>Just a simple forest scene that challenges the upload size limit of photo.net (too many edges hence a large file size even when highly JPG compressed)</p>

<p>When & where: last Saturday morning, above Kent Lake, Marin County on the Oat Hill fire rd.</p>
