The quality of the photos is better than ever as well. I truly look forward to Thursdays so I can enjoy browsing through the superb photographs our community makes each week. This week I tried out some rare macro work. Here is a close up of a frozen puddle in a campus parking lot. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesFarabaugh Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Robin, you say "winter leaves", but it sure looks like it's sticking around to me! (yuk yuk).</p> <p>Here is a remote shutter capture while I breathed into the beam of a flashlight on a chilly evening last night. Just for fun.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_poseley Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>I haven't acquired anything new worth posting yet so I am going back to 2009.</p> <p>I was able to take some time off and drove out west to Joshua Tree National Park. I took one of the hikes out to an abandoned mine (Lost Horse I think), and passed through an area that had been burned out. This Yucca(?) had been severely scorched, but had not given up yet.</p> <p><br /> The whole area smelled of burned wood. And as you can see the desert is more barren than usual. This was also my very first trip with my brand spanking new 5D MKII.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philrichardson Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Really fantastic response on this thread last week! Still working on birds in flight. I headed out to the Sepulveda Wildlife Reserve one morning last weekend and was able to get this shot of a Great Blue Heron. It had a nest high up in a tree nearby and I was also able to get a few shots of it at the nest as well. What a great spot!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimo_foti Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Nothing new this week. Just another shot from last week. This I think demonstrate that EF-15-85 handles flare pretty well.<br> <img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6822000079_d9917346e9_z.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_smith110 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Canon 40D<br> Yashica ML 50/1.7 with tubes</p> <p>So I didnt quite manage to get him perfectly in the DOF, but this little spider was<em> falling</em> as I captured this. I was shooting some macro of some moss/lichen out on the back stone wall when I noticed him start a crazy descent from the top of the wall. He was falling/repeling down very quickly, slamming into the moss and then reorienting himself before jumping out again. I managed to catch him in this photo right as he launched himself from the last bit of moss towards the ground. I literally had a second to bring the camera up and get him in the DOF.</p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7205/6883696079_574801d50c_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stp Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>I walked by this wall that had deciduous vines with a random growth pattern that contrasted sharply to the straight lines of the concrete blocks and brick accents, and I knew I'd be returning with a camera. The brick lines were above my head, but shifting the lens kept everything straight.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian_wallace5 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Some high school hockey this week. Horribly lit arena (even for a high school sporting event) and no way to shoot except through the plexiglass that was pretty marked up. Even so, found some clean spots and got some decent shots. Shot in mRAW and did a lot of work post production to get this one. This previous frame to this one was better but completely out of focus - the puck is moving the water bottle in this shot as the player in blue skated toward the net, wiped out, and still managed to lift the puck "top shelf where momma hides the cookies". <br> Technical Info: Canon 7D, EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens, Manual mode, 1/500th, 2.0, auto ISO (1000)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Another image from my shoot with my "new" Canon EF-M - technically not an EOS camera, but since its mount is a Canon EF mount for using AF lenses in manual focus, I guess maybe you wouldn't kick me out.<br /> Or would you? Hmmm.</p> <p>Anyhow, Walgreen's finest ISO 200 film (probably Fuji)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathangardner Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Scott,<br> Where was the photo taken? That will help us narrow the possibilities. I'd guess some species of egret or possibly a white heron. Also, I wasn't in your situation so it may not have been possible, but if I can't get close enough to the bird, then I can fill frame space by incorporating a reflection. If the reflection of the tree brach and bird was apparent in the water it may have compensated for a lack of intimacy. Nonetheless, still a great shot. I can't get enough bird photos. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
