Post your best current shots

Yesterday evening I had a couple of hours for myself, and for a change this coincided with really nice weather. I went for a walk along a part of the shoreline where some swan families usually hang around, and they were there yesterday too.

Thanks for viewing!

Great swan, really like the background as well.
Sweet little angel Brant, congrats. Keep on snapping and sharing, love to see more.
And while I've got you, I wasn't the only bloke at Supanova, there were others, I'll share a couple with you now.
Talk to the hand.

+1...really like the swan shot.

@ Steve... All those super hero and crime fighters. I am sure you were at one of the safest places in Australia.

Sweet little angel Brant, congrats. Keep on snapping and sharing, love to see more.

Thanks Steve...she is a cutie. Safe to say she already has a number of us wrapped around her finger.

I processed this one today....5DIII, 100 mm L macro, 1/80, f/2.8, ISO 2000

Very cute Brant.

I am up in the Upper Peninsula this week. The snow melt has really caused some flooding and many swollen streams. Here is one that is usually no more than a trickly.

Perhaps it's the warmth in the air. Perhaps it's the new job. Perhaps it's just seeing my green children didn't die after a long, long, winter, but I have pictures... that aren't of Bella, or the dogs. I can't explain it. Luckily a picture is worth a thousand words, so I don't have to.

Pat...great falls. I think I remember a previous shot and the flow was ~1/4 of that. Great thing about waterfalls, they change each time you go back to them.

David...glad things are thawing out. Great set of spring photos!

A couple more from the U.P.. This a waterfall that usually does not have much more that a trickle (which you can not see), but with the snow run off and flooding, it has a good flow to it. The first one is with a 100-400mm L with a 1.4X-II, the second one is with just the 100-400mm L.

Haven't posted anything in a while...here are some recent shots from a 3 day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail in Great Smoky Mountains NP. This was the first week in April. There was still as much as 6-7 inches of snow on the ground at higher elevations. Scenery was still a pretty brown since trees hadn't really started filling in, which was kind of disappointing, but I still got a few good shots.

And a couple shots from Illiniwek Forest Preserve in Hampton, IL. I can't remember where, but I had seen someone post some trail photos like this that I really liked, so I was trying to replicate that. The lens flare was added in Photoshop.

Sorry...a few more. I'm way behind in my sharing

These are from the Chicago Auto Show in February. I found this to be a kind of challenging environment for me. I am used to mostly outdoor photography with very few people around. Trying to take pictures with a million people shuffling by everywhere was kind of flustering. Not to mention I wasn't used to taking pictures in that type of lighting.
