I know everyone shot something this week. Let see those pictures. I am doing a little PP on mine at the moment and will have some later. We went to the zoo.

JJ, Love the one of your daughter, she's really focused on that bubble alright.
Ben, I love the first shot of your Gecko. Great lighting and composition. Those camouflaged eyes are pretty cool too.

I learned my lesson to always keep the camera handy in the car, with the settings already adjusted for wildlife photography. So when I saw this guy, I was ready to shoot. A second after this, he was gone.

I was amazed at how close I could get to this guy. Normally they are very skittish.

Jonathan: Both of those are superb. I like the fur detail and DoF in the 2nd one.
Neuro: Great job capturing that moment. I would like to see a bit more of the see in the distance though.
Btaylor: That's an amazing lizard and photo. That gecko looks unreal.
Muc1: Great plant macro. Really like that frost.
Ehcalum: love the flag photo. Good use of flare :)
JJ: I love the way she is looking at that bubble.

thanks for viewing and commenting
brendan
Brendan,
That butterfly is terrific. I love the DoF, the variety of colors of the buds on the flower, the whole color palette is like you pulled out a wheel and decided what should be in frame. Very nice.
muc1,
Well, at least we know what hemisphere you call home, I guess! Nice macro shot. Love the crystalline frost detail.
JJ,
Just a wonderful, captivating shot of your daughter focused on the bubble. Excellent.

thanks guys for all the kind words of my daughter's picture, really appreciate it!
Brendan, that shot of butterfly is very nice, I especially like the rich color and creamy background. my 70-200 4.0 non-IS seems like not as good as yours.

Here's a few of mine from the holiday weekend in CT.

They're incredibly soft skinned and really delicate little geckos, that nasty looking tail is far from nasty. They're also able to change the lightness/ darkness of their skin depending on where they are sitting too- interesting little guys.

Cheers, Ben.

I must say that the photos here get better and better each week! Superb! Guess that could have something to do with summer...(at least for most of us I guess?? [:P])
Lovely shots!
Here's one I took of the George Washington Bridge and New York City Skyline on the 4th of July, as we made our way down the Hudson River in my friends cigarette boat to view the NYC Macy's Fireworks Display.
I was a little bit surprised to get such a clean shot of the bridge, because of the limited light and the fact that the boat was rocking somewhat. Well.., I guess that is a testament to the low light capabilities of the 7D. Handheld.
EOS-7D, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L, @ 24mm and f/3.5, 1/40sec., ISO 3200

As we got closer to the fireworks and many more boats, the water became rougher, as the sky grew darker. If there ever was a need for an IS Version of the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L Lens below.., I guess this was the time.
This is the N.Y. City Skyline as the smoke from the fireworks lingers over it, as I'm rocking back and forth on a boat. Handheld.
Although unintentional I kind of liked the effect.

C &C Welcome!

Rich, with 1/40, non IS lens, handheld on a boat and ISO3200, this picture is really a great shot![Y]

Chris and Zach;
Thank You Very Much for the compliments.
It's Greatly Appreciated!
Rich
A very nice collection of photos here.
Since no one has posted a fireworks photo yet and it was the 4th, I'll add a couple. I already posted these in the Image Critique section though.
