What did you shoot.....December 20th - Dec26th?

[Steve U]

It has been raining here for two and a half weeks, localised serious flooding, but we are high and not dry.


The dogs have been stuck inside and are totally over this weather.

A bit of Nik HDR just to take the sweetness off me.


Thanks for viewing,

Bottom right: We celebrated Christmas at Amber's parents' house. It was a rare white Christmas for us, and I dragged her outside to document the occasion. ;-)

I LOVE this photo and I can so feel their pain!

Rain for you, snow for me &amp; sorry but my dogs are LOVIN" IT!

Two weeks in a row, extraordinary goodfortune for me. This shot represents the most exciting 15 seconds of photography I've ever experienced. The first 8 seconds were spent stopping the car, dropping the coffee, and rolling down the window. Then I grabbed the camera, which I had preset for such a chance encounter (I learned that the hard way). The first three shots were blurry, and the next three were bang on. Then the wolf was gone. I spent the next few hours breathing heavilyinto a paper bag.

Beautiful picture as well as the story!


I believe the rapid raised level of epinephrine caused the first three blurred shots.

I was out with the little man weekend after Christmas, and of course brought a camera! I actually grabbed my 5D2 with my 50 1.2(haven't used the 5D2 much at all recently!!) Here are a couple shots...all shot at f1.2


I feel for everybody with all the rain...we've had quite a bit here in Santa Cruz( I know...relative!!). I really feel for the people on the East coast with all the snow and horrible horrible weather...although I just read in the paper here, that our Sierra's and Tahoe, have a snow pack of almost 200%, already.


Here is our Dog, Rajah, waiting for the ball...

Jon, Wow, what a great catch--As a wannabe wildlife photographer,I fully appreciate the combination of luck and skill it took to get this shot---and a black wolf at that---I am really impressed with the exposure with a black wolf and white snow, you managed to get the detail in both. Great day for you, congrats.

Hey thanks Bob! I'm still giddy just reliving that moment. The only post-processing I did was to drop the contrast slightly, which helped to bring out some of the detail like you pointed out. As a side note, the shot has been selected as photo of the month on this site: http://www.canadiannaturephotographer.com/and will be published in the spring edition of Outdoor Photography Canada magazine. My 15 seconds of drama has turned into 15 minutes of fame I guess. But now it's a new year, and the slate is clean... so it's time to get out shooting again and see if I can find somekeepers for 2011. Best of luck in your own excursions!

Wow, Congrats!
