"What did you shoot?" November 22nd-Nov 28th.

I shot this kangaroo in the back yard, but he was totally stoned.

I spent ages and ages sitting on my butt in the garden waiting to get a shot of a partially obscured mother plover and her chick. (ages and ages read 10 minutes)

I prefer an lighting effect on the first, as well as the splash of color the tongue gives.
On the second I went B&W to help mute the plant and walls in the background.


edit: Fixed lens description. Somehow I called it the 50mm f/1.2 II. That's what 1AM does to you.

I kept seeing this little critter through the screened window, eating crab apples. I knew opening the door to get a better shot would frighten him, but went for it anyway. This is pre-flight.

The sky was angry that day my friend. Straight off the camera, as shot, just in the right place at the right time.

I posted this shot and another on Flickr, but I like this one best. Setup, EXIF, etc in click through.

Still trying to decide if I like this lens. Thank goodness B&H extended their return policy for the holidays!!

Thanks Steve again for getting this going.


I finally got out of the house last week and found this spot with a couple birds.

Hey SteveU, we must

@ erno, I think your skies are moody rather than angry and your vines look like they are about to rumble and drop them leaves. Nice shot.


My skies reflected the temperament of my wife at the time, as she sat in the car waiting for it all to be over.

I shot this one last Friday at Calloway Winery in Temecula. I was the designated driver, so I got a chance to take some pictures. This one is of my Dad, in his element:

5DII 35mm @ f/1.4 ISO 1600 1/60 sec.

@Jon, lot of good vibes coming from this shot, nice shooting.

great shot...but the empty wine glass on the edge of the frame is sad. it needs wine too. makes me wanna pour some Turley tonite.

i am going off on a tangent now...but that wine shot reminded me of my last birthday in Napa Valley....

A friend pulled these out of his cellar two weeks ago, 98 was a good year but that was a great Friday afternoon.

ALL HAIL TO US WINOS!!!

Jon, I really love that shot of your Father, it looks like it could be on Canon's Website advertising the 35mm f/1.4


Erno, Very Cool Shot, can you kindly explain how it was taken, and with what gear and EXIF data? I'm guessing that someone was swirling the glass, but it also looks like there is a window in the background. Thanks!

Thanks Erno!

Thanks Steve, Erno, &amp; Richard.


I agree that the shot would have been better without that empty glass in the foreground. But it doesn
