This month's photo topic is "What lives in a tree" Happy shooting! Again, the rules are simple: Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all. Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives. and most importantly have fun.
First cab off the rank, today it was as windy as hell, even the birdlife had trouble stayin upright. These images were taken with my 60D and a 160 to 500mm lens.
funny looking tree i've got a great one do shoot but its too cold for the lill so and so to pop out, i'll probably post it here even if its after time
At Mom's in Pennsylvania for Christmas, took these through the double-pane glass in the kitchen windows. R7, EF 70-300mm IS USM II. SOOC jpegs except for cropping & scaling. The white specs around the beak in the cardinal picture are fragments of the seed it just crushed in it's beak...
IRoscoe, like your images especially the last one of the Cardinal. I took my images outside my Mom's place too.
Thanks. It's too bad the forum hits the IQ so hard, the details on the "shrapnel" from the crushed seed are mostly lost. That Cardinal picture was taken as one of a 15fps burst, and the cloud of fragments were only visible for two frames, the seed fragments wouldn't have been visible to the naked eye... Roscoe
great images, i saw the shrapnel, great capture! mine was to be a fox in a tree, i'll come back to this when its there, bit colder these last few weeks
I am easy, light shadows and simple shapes and for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, suffering from cold weather, it would be a blessing, since photography is supposed to be something we enjoy.
