    Bromance!


    I want to bring this thread back to life...anyways I went to San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park again last week and spent some time with these lions, I believe they are cousins, hence the BROmance.[]


    Taken with 40D + 500 f/4L IS, f/4, 1/640, ISO 400, handheld. Because I was very close, this image is fullframe, so you can see the right lion is a little soft due to shallow dof. I didn't want to stop down because I wanted an adequate shutter speed to minimize camera shake.

    Nearly forgot about this thread. Excellent shot of the lions, Nate.


    Bill that's an interesting bird of prey. Where did you attend that workshop?


    Here's one I took last week.

    Dave, the workshop was in Belchertown, MA, but Ray Barlow (person that put everything together) is from Toronto... RayBarlowPhotography.com


    It was an opportunity, not only to receive photographic instruction, but also to see raptors in their (somewhat) natural environment that I probably won't see in the wild. E.G. raptors from Egypt, S. America, Europe.


    Regards


    Bill

    Thanks for the quick reply, Bill. Sounds like it was a fun workshop to attend.

    Yes, it was. Not a 100% crop but it was probably around 50-75%. I was around 15 feet from the subject and each bird is a little smaller than a ring-bill seagull. The little guys wouldn't let me get too close. Makes me want that 400 f5.6. Eh..... someday. [^]

    this birdie showed up outside my house and immediately found its lunch. Had this kit lens attached to the cam at the time, so not a really sharp image





    Chinese for lunch?

    This was taken on Waikiki Beach with my Canon 50D and 50mm f/1.8 (I've upgraded to the 50mm f/1.4 since). The photo was cropped a little and some very subtle color adjustments, but it's 90% right off the camera. You like?
