I recently mentioned buying a used 1DmkIIN. Took it out to catch my grandchildren on the horse. I love this camera.

Great shots everyone. Mark, that is an amazing picture of your grand daughter.


I haven't had much time to shoot lately, but I walked out my front door this morning and saw this:


Both Canon 7D, 100 mm L macro, 1/60th, f/2.8, ISO 100

EDIT: BTW, the 100L just happened to be on my camera and I left it there to see what it could do

I love this photo!!! David, the composition of this shot is perfect! There has to be a spring photo contest somewhere that this can be entered in ...a true winner!!

Here's one I took last night:


[img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/0511.London-Eye-at-Night.JPG[/img]


Canon XSi, EF-S 15-85 IS, f8, 10s, iso 200, EX 580 II flash fired manually off-camera (at 1/16 I believe) to help fill the color in the flowers.


I've been trying to get more night shots lately. Not very good at it generally, but I do kind of like this one.

These are some of my favorites I've taken since I got my 100mm f/2.8L IS macro last week. Wow, this lens is amazing! Takes some getting used to, not having the ability to zoom, and even more having such a long focal length (I'm used to my 17-55). But wow, this thing takes excellent shots, at least compared to what I'm used to. The 17-55 is supposed to be really good, but this lens really lives up to the L reputation!


Sorry there are so many! I can't help myself...


All shots taken with the XSi

Thanks for looking at them! Maybe one of these days I'll actually take some MACRO shots with this lens, huh?

Really good shots Alex, I was thinking about getting the 135mm, but have been taking similar shots with my 100mm macro and the IS really lends itself to portrait work and even landscape shots with a different perspective.


The colours and contrast on the second hut shot are very dynamic. And that puddle shot is great.

I'll give everyone a snapshot of what my life is like, as if I haven't probably said too much in the past.


Friday lunch time and I manage to convince my beloved to come with me and a few friends to one of my long lunches. She normally just rolls her eyes and let's these things happen, but would prefer to stay out of it. This time she comes.


Well everything is going smoothly and we are all having a good time, when the chef, Peter a mate of mine, brings out a marron that he has had flown over from Western Australia. What's a marron? Well it is bigger than a prawn/shrimp, bigger than scampi, not as big as a lobster. They are a freshwater animal and are usually about twelve to fourteen inches long and black in clour. Peter's Dad is having about 30 of these things flown over every Friday. The plane trip is similar in distance from New York to L.A.


So these things arrive alive and this prawn on sterroids is squirming around on the plate and everyone at the table is admiring it and thinking a $70 marron course might be something we could share next time we come in.


Everyone except my beloved. Peter takes his prize catch away and she who must be obeyed says, "I want one."


I said, "We are about to start dessert, haven't you had enough?" She said, "Nooo, I want one." I said, "What do you mean?"


She said, "I want one, I want to take him home."


I said, "I'm not cooking one of those things at home, eat it here next time." She punched my arm and said, "You bloody well won't be cooking him, I'm going to save one and keep him."


I tried to explain that a chef that flies agiant prawn4000 kilometers and can sell it for 70 bucks isn't going to give the critteraway. She would have none of it. She pleaded for me to get her one.


The chef walked past again and she beckoned him over and said, "Do you have a runt?" He obviously said, "What!!" She said a "runt" a small one that doesn't measure up that he might find trouble selling.


Well, what do you know? There was one in the batch that was about half the size of all the others. Only thing was that it wasn't black like the rest, it was blue, a royal blue. And she could have it if she wanted. For free. She was happy as. We have a small damin my yard and the plan was to drop him in there. Well, that was the plan it hasn't worked out that way yet.


So I would like to introduce you all to Louie the Marron.


[img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/700x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/3264.Louie-the-Marron.jpg[/img]


The dogs are very inquisitive.

[img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/700x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/4075.Louie-the-Marron_5F00_3.jpg[/img]


So for now Louie is in a tank and my beloved has a warm fuzzy feeling that she managed to save a critter from a pot of boiling salty water.


I don't know what's going to happen next. I know I have been banned from buying crusty bread and garlic butter. Hmm,I have some Chardonnay left as well.


Thanks for viewing and reading.

Thank you Steve for yet another wonderful story and a great laugh!!! Your wife is awesome for saving Louie and I look forward to seeing more photos of him in his new pond! What a beautiful color he is! I have a funny feeling that if Louie suddenly disappears, you are going to be sleeping in the pond!
