January 17, 2009

Hello everyone,

I think it was a reasonably good week for photos although Monday-Thursday were a real challenge.

This is a macro shot of food colouring dropped into a wine glass. It took about 30 shots and many trips upstairs to refill the glass to get one I liked. I'd like to try this again with a bigger container and a few more colours.

I discovered this little guy hiding in the cedars beside our house. He was not the least bit intimidated by the 300MM + 1.4 extender. It was a bitterly cold day with afternoon temperatures at about -16C.

This shot was taken on the same walk as mentioned above. I've taken many shots of this path with this being the best so far. I took two camera bodies on the walk (5D MKII + 300mm F4 + 1.4 Extender and the older 5D + 25-104mm F4 lens. I used the older camera and 24-105 lens on this one.

It took me a while to figure out why I liked this shot. I think it boils down to the lighting the contrasting background.

Another in a long line of still life shots.
