Re: Photography Thread

Haven't had much time to dedicate to shooting. But I did finally get an IR filter for my 50mm 1.8. I'd love to convert my T2i to an IR camera, but my daughter will be using it for the next couple of years. :rolleyes:

First shot I took with the filter

It was a bad angle in relation to the sun, but it was getting late and I wanted to at least try it out.

Canon 30D w/ Canon 70-200 2.8 attached. Really want to spring for a 7D....just can't get myself to pull the trigger....

Re: Photography Thread

Very nice. Jealous of your lens! My 60D gets to slum with the 70-200 f/4

Re: Photography Thread

Thanks. All my stuff was just a spur of the moment purchase due to never being able to get decent photos of my kids playing hockey....which is the only reason I went with the 2.8 over the 4. Always shooting in caves.... 95% of the photos I take, are my kids sporting events....

It was too windy for any long exposures, but I figured this one would work since the tree is so far away.

I don't think those frogs get any bigger than that. I have some pairs that breed in my pond in the back yard, and they
emerge from the pond like that and stay close to that size...I think. Very easy to step on. I ended up doing exactly what
I thought I would, took the beater drive and wore myself out. Came back and dumped all the shots into the computer,
separated wheat from chaff and then went to bed at 7:30 pm. Thought maybe I would sleep 6-8 hours and wake up
at some weird time overnight and get back to compositing pics. Woke up 12 hours later in time to catch Meet the Press.
at 9:00 am. So almost 12 hours in the bed. Trip was great, shooting was only OK. Just ran out of things I had to shoot,
too many trips I guess, and got plenty tired enough to leave one great idea for another trip. Walked a 5hit-ton. Stopped
at a campground on the way home that we used to go to a lot in Mississippi when I was a one digit age. Still looked almost
exactly the same. Smaller, obviously, as everything from your childhood is so much smaller than you can recall. Took a lot
of pics and walked another good bit over there. Over the weekend I guess I walked about ten miles....weekend,lol, during the
2o hours between 7pm friday and 4 pm Saturday that I spent driving to or shooting in NO. 8 hours total shoot time. 12 hour
riding time. Merciless, but fully engaging and fun.

Thanks Mac, the wife likes it so much she's going to get it framed and hang it in our bedroom.

Re: Photography Thread

Went to the zoo today. Main goal was to hit up the new "butterfly hollow" section. Mostly just too pix there. A couple on the way to and from throughout the zoo.

Whatcha think?

Very nice Ron.

Thanks! The smaller boat in the foreground gives an idea as to just how huge those Great Lakes freighters are. I've been in a private boat close to one of them before.
