Thanks Sean and John!
Hey.., that sounds like rapper "Sean John or Puffy Combs."
John, thanks for the info. I was uploading from the Flickr link on my Apple Aperture software, then I edited the photos and hit the "synchronize tab" in Aperture, so I figured that would do the trick, now I

Re: Post your best current shots
Hi everyone -
We're at the midpoint of an amazing trip through Ecuador. First week was spent at a lodge in the jungle, which was a fantastic (and challenging) place for photography. In a couple of days we're off to the Galapagos Islands, where I'll be shooting so much I'll probablyget a blister on my trigger finger. One of the biggest surprises was how useful my Canon G12 was for macro photography at night. It has turned into one of the best photo investments I've ever made.
This squirrel monkey was one of several that made its way through the lodge area one afternoon. Canon 1D3, 300 mm f/2.8 lens, 1/125 sec @ f/4, ISO 1600

Re: Post your best current shots
Spent most of my Wednesday shooting this incredible car. The work was done at my Dad's shop, RJ's Autobody Plus. This car is going to be shown at the AJC Auto Show at the World Congress Center in Atlanta. This incredible vehicle is a gift from a father to his 16 year old son for his first car. I'm so jealous of the little twerp! Anyways, this was my first attempt at a car shoot and I couldn't have gotten luckier for a first time subject. Enjoy!

Re: Post your best current shots
It looks like spring has finally arrived here as well. It's been a long wait. I took a trip to Aberdeen harbour to experiment with my TS-E 24mmf/3.5L II this afternoon. Let's face it, every shot with this lens is an experiment. It's a big learning curve.

I've noticed some of the shots you posted, Denise, and I'm delighted that you are enjoying yours. It inspired me to get some fresh air on Sunday and try a few outdoor shots with mine (I got my TS-E in December and the weather has not provided many outdoor photo opportunities until now). I really enjoy using it when I have plenty of time available, but I'm not yet sufficiently expert that I know how much tilt is required to get the focal plane exactly where I want it, with the desired depth of field. It's not a lens I'll use when I'm in a hurry.
The metering also takes a bit of getting used to. There doesn't seem to be a way of calculating how much exposure compensation is required for a given set-up, so the only option is to take lots of shots.
It's interesting using the lens in public. Lots of people looked at me quizically as I kept moving my tripod by a few centimetres and adjusting the lens to get the framing of the roundhouse just right, while they took grainy, shaky pictures with their hand held camera phones. It wasn't easy, any further back and I would have been on the wet side of the harbour wall, any further left and there was a lamp post in the way.

Kayaker,
Great captures of the torrent. I especially like the second one - well composed and perfectly exposed. Well done.

Re: Post your best current shots
This was one of those lucky shots, everything just happed to be in the right place at the right time, a second later, or if i had the lens cap on i would have missed it.

Re: Post your best current shots
This weekend I spent a few hours waiting for the "super moon" to rise from the sea, and fortunately the weather was clear so I got what I came for. Nature can be quite impressive, but it's not easy to capture on film (or CMOS). However I thought I'd share a few of my attempts.

Re: Post your best current shots

Re: Post your best current shots
CLS, Lucky you to be on the east coast or facing over an eastern body of water when that moon was coming up and you did a nice job capturing the moon and the water in the first shot along with some interesting foreground---very nice depth of field. If I had to critique it, my only comment would be to try and get a little closer to the ground on shots like this. Other than that, very nice work.
Thanks for sharing and welcome to TDP,

Come summertime, there's usually a lazy flow stemming from Folsom Lake that provides enough resistance for an upstream kayak workout. But today during the first week of spring and with heavy rainfall over the past week, flows here were more than lazy.
From being perched on some granite just downstream from Rainbow Bridge, this is looking toward the new Folsom Bridge. I convinced my kid to come out and feed the birds before dinner tonight (...plus I HAD to try out my new 0.6 GradND filter for the first time).</div>

I am happy you like it. The tripod was left in the car. I am pretty sure I supported my elbow on a bridge railing, but most of what you see is the 4 stop IS on the EFS 15-85. Love that lens.

I use the auto focus. The 5D Mark II isn't that bad with still subjects (pun intended). If it were down to me, it would look like I was shooting through a whisky tumbler. We sampled quite a few 'expressions' of the Glenfiddich. It almost looked like the aftermath of one of Steve's wine tasting sessions, but with more alcohol involved.
