greenjeans Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 <p>Went out on Memorial Day to take a few pictures. This is at an old mill near me. Supposedly built around 1840. The building is on the other side of the stream and is still in good shape.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron_lam Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Shot this Pitt Bull last weekend in downtown L.A. He was turning 11 and the owner wanted some pictures of him before he got much older. Seems like a lot of my dog work is coming with the same MO recently... Miss doing puppy work.<br> <p> Shot with Canon 1DsIII and 24LII. <p> <img src=http://www.aaronlam.com/galleries/dogs/tank/tank7.jpg width=700> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_elenko Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 <p>Just returned from a two-day hiking trip with my wife to rugged Black Canyon in the central Washington state desert. Sensory overload with wildflowers, vistas, birds and more. This shot of a great horned owl was taken at a creekside oasis. There were two other owls in the limbs above this one, and a flicker pecking at the tree to the right for further entertainment. A pileated woodpecker barked about 10 yards away.<br /><br />A few minutes later we started the reluctant return hike to our vehicle. As I was changing lenses, my wife screeched a bit for the first time in the 33 years I’ve known her: a rattlesnake was wrapped around a wild rose bush, sunning itself. By the time I turned around (after looking at my wife) it has slithered off, but the distinctive sound of the rattle was clear and close enough for us to move on.</p> <p><strong>Great Horned Owl</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-WgGkXrg/0/L/i-WgGkXrg-L.jpg" alt="" /><br> 7D, Canon 100-400mm L, f5.6 @ 1/350, ISO 400</p> <p>ME</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbkissel Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 <p>Lupo, I have no idea what species of flower. Some tropical variety, I assume. Maybe someone here can say for sure.</p> <p>And that tater tot should have gone to the Smithsonian. I sure hope you didn't eat it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_rohrer Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 <p>I always look forward to Thursdays to see what everyone else is up to, and gather some inspiration. Thanks for the comments, and Lupo that is with out a doubt the best looking tater tot I have ever seen (good stock photo maybe?). Al I'm surprised to see someone here with the same last name as me, it doesn't happen very often.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathangardner Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 <p>Larry,</p> <p>The auto focus is contrast based, meaning it looks for a contrasty area near the sensor to gain focus. The camera may have simply recognized the striking contrast between the microphone and musician's face easier than the relatively low contrast of the face itself causing the camera to focus on the microphone instead. Throw in the low light and it doesn't help. Next time I would try to put the focus sensor on the hairline at the forehead and see if it picks that up instead of the edge of the microphone. And what camera are you using? I always suggest using 'one shot' AF unless you are shooting constantly moving subjects, however the 'al servo' mode is much better on the 1 series cameras and can be used for most anything. When I had my 40D, I tried to stay away from al servo unless absolutely necessary; it wanted to hunt a lot more than it had to.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
