<p>Nothing special this week. I took this last Thursday evening and kinda like it.</p>

<p>Clarification for Dick: The crosswind limit is 40 knots, but above 25 you can't remove all the crab. Cheers.</p><div></div>

<strong>Sleeping in the Gallery</strong><br>

The Subway Gallery is set up in an old kiosk in the Joe Strummer subway on the Edgeware Road in London<br /> The only time I have ever seen the gallery open was for a couple of days in September and clearly, the curator was finding passing trade a bit slow.<br>

5D2+24-105<br>

<p>I worked on stacking with a large, fresh Spongipellis pachyodon. Most of the lacerated teeth are about an inch ling, but some were a bit longer. This is 5 images stacked.</p><div></div>

<p>Been wanting to "shoot" this guy for some time - even staking out it's haunts up on the hill but never it appeared when I had the camera. This past Tues. he paid me a visit while I was sitting across our creek with camera in hand - got ya.<br>

<p>Originally went over there with camera in hand to capture a small flock(family group?) that were feeding while passing thru. They fed for an hour or so and left as the shadows encroached.</p><div></div>

<p>Still processing shots from safari in Tanzania - here is a red-billed hornbill without any twigs in the foreground. I was very pleased with the performance of the new Tamron 150-600mm zoom - an ideal lens for safaris. Autofocus at 600mm / f/6.3 worked well on both 5D2 and 7D; stopping down to f/8 gave excellent image quality. EOS 5D2 / Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm; 1/320s at f/8 ISO 400.</p><div></div>

<p>This is a photo of one of my cacti in my backyard. I tried to submit another picture but was unable. Now I remember why I don't post here. Not a very simple operation compared to other sites. </p><div></div>

[robert100]

I spent five days last week as the designated Official Photographer on behalf of the Justice Institute of BC

at this years Regional Fire Training program. Over 120 Firefighter-Rescue Personnel gaining intensive

training at four locales across southern Vancouver Island in operations including hands-on full-action in Live

Fire Ops involving automobile, structure, and oil spill fires; Aerial Tactics (ie Ladder Trucks); Tender

Operations (water provision and relaying ops); and Hazardous Materials Incidents. I put close to nine

hundred kms on the wagon running from locale to locale and back to catch the actions, and hammered off

over Four Thousand Two Hundred raw exposures (108 gigs worth) on three cameras (7D T3i, 40D). Over the

next few weeks I'll be editing that down to maybe five or six hundred for use in future training programs,

safety posters, and recruiting posters. Support your local Firefighters folks, they bust their behinds and

give up a lot of their personal time training, and the majority of them are Volunteers.<div></div>

<p>Just back from more Civil War follow-up.<br /> This is Fort Stevens in the Washington defenses, where Oliver Wendell Holmes claimed to have shouted at Abraham Lincoln to "get your head down you damned fool" when the President visited the front lines during Early's invasion in 1864 (probably not quite true, but a good story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Wendell_Holmes,_Jr. ). The monument is probably close to where Lincoln stood and exposed himself (to fire, that is).</p><div></div>
