I saw this girl playing down by the lake the other day and couldn't resist taking a few shots. Not the lens of choice for this so most shots I was too close but I did manage to catch a few without cutting off a limb!

Great shots Denise, standard poodles have so much personality and energy you did well to capture these. And a beautiful shot of Krista Joy.

I am not good at using this search. Since I could not find, Best Zoo Shots, I'll post here.
Went to the local zoo today. All shot with my 1DmkIIN and Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC

Nice zoo photos, Mark! Thanks for reminding me that it has been awhile since I've been to the zoo ...maybe it is time to take a trip there since I am getting really bored with what I have been shooting lately!

Hi, I tried to take some photos of a local fireworks show on new year's eve. This was my first attempt at fireworks and I found out it was quite difficult. Focusing and exposure was the easy part but framing and timing was tricky (no, I hadn't yet got to the wine). The explosions were spread over the sky and it took a bit of luck to get the entire "flower" nicely placed in the frame. Most of them were shot in sequence with little or no time between which also made it difficult to get an exposure with not too many explsions in it. However, out of around 20 shots during 10 minutes these two came out OK.

Lesson learned: The fireworks spread over the sky more than expected. Next time I will bring a wider lens.

Thanks for viewing!

Beautiful fireworks!! You would never think it was your first time shooting them!! Most I have seen show only the fireworks high in the sky ...I love how you were able to include such a low ground level in the shots!
