Alex_Es Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>Welcome to February, Canon FD shooters! A preemptive Happy Valentine's to you. Let's see your stuff!</p> <p>I'll start of with some macro shots with my Canon FD 50/3.5 + Fujiflim X-E1. </p> <p>The first is of my new black Canon FTb. Back in 1989 I lent my beloved black FTb to a friend who was going on a journey with her boyfriend. I never saw her nor my FTb again. A few days ago I ended over a quarter of a century of anguish and utter laziness and got the FTb you see below.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Es Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>Just one more. My Seiko "Bullhead" chronograph from 1977. I came to Japan in 1977 when this watch was brand new. It is now an antique. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbrown Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 <p>Thanks Rick, but it was little more than point-and-shoot. Like a National Geographic photographer once said, the main secret to impressive pix is "f/8 and <em>be</em> there!"</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill C1664885404 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 <p>Canon FDn 300/4.0-L and Red Shouldered Hawk<br> Just as I stepped into the kitchen to get another cup of coffee…wham!...a small bird flew into the window right in front of me trying to get away from a Hawk attack. I looked out / down from the window sill as best I could and saw the Hawk chasing around the foundation shrubs after the stunned bird then lost sight of them.<br> Glanced out 15-20 minutes later and the Hawk was perched outside on a support post for the steps coming off the deck...so close he barely fit into the 300mm field of view but knew he’d be gone if I took time to change lenses…had to shoot him quickly, hand held leaning against the counter, through 3 panes of glass…(double pane insulated kitchen window, plus the outside storm window)…but managed to get this:</p> <p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/roundball/PHOTOGRAPHY/BIRDS/HAWKS%20and%20OWLS/020315%20RED%20SHOULDERED%20HAWK%20300MM%20F4%20L/020315%20Red%20Shouldered%20Hawk%20on%20deck%20step%20post%20PBBrt25%20PBCon20%20PBS50_zpsgdam4dlw.jpg" alt="" width="562" height="800" /></p> <p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/roundball/PHOTOGRAPHY/BIRDS/HAWKS%20and%20OWLS/020315%20RED%20SHOULDERED%20HAWK%20300MM%20F4%20L/020315%20Red%20Shouldered%20Hawk%20Talons%20PBBrt25%20PBCon20%20PBS50_zpsvauvxk5h.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="590" /></p> <p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/roundball/PHOTOGRAPHY/BIRDS/HAWKS%20and%20OWLS/020315%20RED%20SHOULDERED%20HAWK%20300MM%20F4%20L/020315%20Red%20Shouldered%20Hawk%20Portrait%20PBBrt25%20PBCon20%20PBS50_zps1pptbroz.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="481" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
