Post your best current shots

Thanks for the advice about posting. Will figure out how to import from flickr.

Thanks for the technical advice as well. I completely understand about the lighting. Rare to see deer so close to the house, so I couldn't be too choosy!

--I think I've got it now for linking to flickr

Recently traveled to Switzerland with the family, and spent a weekend of the trip in Paris. Several shots from the trip posted to my Flickr stream. I'll post a few here, too.

"Notre Dame at Night" - taken from along Quai de Montebello

EOS 1D X, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM @ 35mm, 25 s, f/11, ISO 100


"L'Arc de Triomphe" - Taken from the median of Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

EOS 1D X, TS-E 17mm f/4L, 8 s, f/10, ISO 100


"Under Eiffel" - Inspired by a shot Brant posted from his recent trip, his was during the day.

EOS 1D X, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, 20 s, f/11, ISO 100


Instead of the full kit and tripod for walking around during day with my wife and three young kids, I opted for the much more portable EOS M kit. The M11-22 that I picked up just before the trip came in very handy, and was my most used lens.

"Notre Dame Interior" - choir and nave of the gothic cathedral

EOS M, EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM @ 11mm, 1/10 s, f/5.6, ISO 3200


"Two Beautiful Smiles" - At the Louvre in Paris

EOS M, EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM @ 22mm, 1/30 s, f/5.6, ISO 400

Opheodrys aestivus

Neuro - Great set of photos! The tripod served you very well. I like the starbursts in the first two images, and the cobalt-blue sky with the Arc is cool. But the last one is clearly the best... it's not every day that the Mona Lisa gets completely upstaged

I've been getting a lot on the spring flowers so far, this week it's Fireweels!

John....great set....had I seen those before my trip, I would have been trying to take a few like yours.

Time for photography or processing has been pretty limited lately. I am almost through my trip. Here is a few from inside Notre Dame that I liked (all with 5DIII and 24-70 II):

Could have traded some ISO for shutterspeed on a few of those, but I like what works.

Thanks for viewing....Brant

Nice set yourself Zach.....

Final shots from the Paris trip....Sainte Chapelle Cathedral is not far from Notre Dame. It is undergoing renovations, but is still very impressive.
