<p>As posted elsewhere, I've been re-re-scanning slides. Finished, at last! Here is the set of the slide scanner - which is a Canonscan FS 4000 US. The picture was taken with a Canon 20D, EF-S 17-85mm IS.</p><div></div>

<p>Trying to make wind turbines look interesting. I took a sequence as the sun sank toward the horizon; this is near the end.</p><div></div>

<p>I've got nothing so it's back to the Washington trip. Fortunate to get this shot of a crop duster pilot, one of the most dangerous jobs there is. I grabbed this one fast, so the settings are pretty goofy. It was late morning and the brightness on the wing had to be brought down quite a bit. It's amazing how hard these guys work, they can barely waste a minute.<br>

5d2, 24-70 @ 70, f22, 1/25 sec</p><div></div>

<p>Music in the Streets is a monthly block party held in Little Washington, with a variety of different musicians and music styles. This little fellow was really feeling it!<img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/16487426-sm.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="133" /></p>

<p>Thanks for the nice words Mark. I have a hard time finding them on a good perch. Saw this one at a distance, took a few shots, carefully walked a few steps closer, took a few more shots, etc. Pretty standard technique.</p>

<p>Happy Canon Photo Thursday. Great shots everyone. Looks like I am getting this one in before the end of the day. :) First signs of Fall here in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Hope everyone has a great week.</p><div></div>

<p>I spotted this spread-winged damselfly in the evening and was able to get some pictures the next morning before it had warmed up enough for it to fly away.<br>

<p>that's a great shot of those cranes Dennis and also Rick D your "contemplation" shot is excellent, have fun with the birds, iguana's and tortoises </p>

[Laura Weishaupt]

<p>Lupo, that's funny. These are quite common over in Louisiana also. One day we didn't even get out of the car, but just opened the door every 50 ft or so and picked a grocery bags worth. It felt like cheating. Up here I'm fortunate to find them at all. When our kids were little they loved kicking spent puff balls and the resulting green cloud of spores.</p>

<p>Man am I LATE posting here! Did not shoot much at all the week leading up to Sept. 27...<br>

here is a photo from 9/26 at an excellent beer bar in The Mission in SF -- Monk's Kettle.</p>

<p>EOS 7D, 24mm, ISO 200, f/13, 4/5 sec. Sculpin IPA, Ballast Point Brewing Co. on tap!</p><div></div>

[mbkissel]

<p>Lupo, thanks much for the indirect compliment but you still might <strong>not</strong> like the 180mm macro. I only shoot it from a tripod (no IS) or when I can get sufficiently high shutter speeds. I typically take it with me if I know my subjects are skittish and I need a bit more distance between the lens and the shy ones. It is a nicely behaved lens, good and sharp, and feels pretty balanced on my 7D. I much prefer the 100mm L for most macro range subjects.</p>

<p>Ken Papai, it's never too late for beer! Love the shape of that glass.</p>

[KenPapai]

<p>Thanks Mark -- that place, Monk's has probably 15 or 20 different beer glasses depending on the style poured. Pretty sweet.</p>
