What did you shoot? January 31 - February 6

[Jonathan Huyer]

My wife and I went to Tofino, British Columbia to enjoy some quiet time on the Wet Coast. A few shots from the week:


Canon 5D2, 24-70 mm f/2.8 lens, Singh-Ray Vari-ND Duo filter, 30 sec @ f/16, ISO 100

Jonathon, I must say, bravo on the first one. Great shot. I just keep staring at it...

So here are my Super Bowl pictures. I was at a friends house where 7 adults and these two kids crammed into a tiny livingroom to watch the game. That's OK, I got some pictures, so I was happy. I used a 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 II USM @ f/4 on my XTi 1/100 ISO 100 with a Sigma 530 DG Super mounted on the camera (sorry Sean, no room to set up a light stand, and I wasn't sure I was going to shoot so I didn't bring it) and bounced off of the ceiling and wall behind me.








This had about 1/3 of the side cropped off (away from the eyes) and a little off the top.





I blew this one a little in pp to try and make the eyes stand out. Any suggestions/comments on doing this better?

JH, your shot of BC with the orange toned sky is awesome!


We usually don't get colorful skies here in Northern California, but last Saturday much of the region was treated to a sky that just burst into color. This is the little lake in the middle of our town taken with a 7D,<span style="font-size: 10px;"]EFS 10-22mm @ 10 mm,<span style="font-size: 10px;"]f/ 22, 1/2 sec, ISO 100.

It's been one year since I've gotten my first DSLR and thanks to sites like this and others, I've learned quite a bit about taking photos, so thanks to all for contributing. Here is what I've learned to do with my camera in this short year. These two photos are of the same tree; the only difference is that this old Oak is one year older in the 2nd shot.

Great pictures, especially the ones with the water! Now ... since there still wasn't any snow here, I went to the closest white-capped mountain on February 5, here are some of the results:


This should be Mt. Tezio as seen from Mt. Subasio, Umbria, Italy.
5D2, 70-200 f/4 IS, ISO 100, f/8, 200mm, 1/400, perhaps CPL.

Snow! At least a bit, couldn't point the camera further down without including a lot of brown-green...

And finally the work of some family that was leaving just as we arrived for the sunset...
