I took this with the 1D IV and tripod, with the 70-200mm F2.8L II, F 13, ISO200, 1/80, taken at the Rose Garden at Woodward Park in Tulsa OK


It is close to a 100% crop but I like it

Lovely sharpness Rick, but also a creamy depth and softness it looks buttery, nice image.

Beautiful rose, Rick! Love the softness and composition ...nicely cropped!

Has anyone ever gotten a nice photo of this type of swallow!? I swear they never land ...they just whip back and forth over the lake all day long! I must of looked like a real jerk trying to keep up with them to try and lock focus ...finally I just gave up!

This is the best I could do ...

Great shot of the rose, Rick...


Denise...I can imagine you looked pretty funny!! Still, I think you got at 2 useable shots...I tried once to take a picture(s) of a flying dragonfly, with a classic 5D and 70-200f4IS...out of about 50 shots at 3 frames per second, I landed one!!! But it was useable!! Keep shooting...digital is soooooo fantastic!

Took a hike through a Illinois park this afternooon. I saw a couple birds I've never seen before & a few old favorites.


Most weren't keepers (oh, how a longer lens would come in handy) but here are a couple that still survived some heavy cropping. Could someone tell me what type of bird the last one is?

Nice shots Denise, It think they could be croped a bit more. They loose impact when they are to loosely framed.


I will try my hand at swallows as soon as I see some, theyfly like jet fighters andnever seem tostop![:O]

The lovely pileated woodpecker. Sounds like somebody beating drums in the forest.
