-= 70D owners unite! Post up pics and discuss!

Nope not handheld but easily could have been. Yes the shutter speed was 1/250 but the four flashes at 1/128 power actually stopped the motion at 1/25,000 second. So it could have been handheld BUT I was 10 feet way and operating the shutter via radio-remote so as not to spook the little guys.

Yep - it's a great place to sit on a nice afternoon and watch people and boats and chat with friends.

Pretty impressive that the 70D catch focus at this dark environment

It was pitch dark except that light.

Thanks, I feel better now.

I would love to learn more about the setup you mention if you care to share.

Thanks
Rick

Was on the bottom of Lake Michigan yesterday and this is of a shipwreck that sank in 1883. "The Wells Burt, built by the Detroit Dry Dock Co., was launched in 1873 as a bulk carrier. She was 201 feet in length with a beam of 33.5 feet. Her hold was over fourteen feet in depth and she could carry approximately 50,000 bushels of corn. Sadly, she served only ten years on the Great Lakes. On May 21, 1883, en route from Buffalo to Chicago with a load of coal, the Wells Burt encountered a furious storm on the lake. Residents of Chicago reported waves crashing against the lake-front with spray up to 100 feet high. The storm was too much for the Wells Burt. Her steering gear became disabled, she broached to and her mizzen mast ripped loose. She swamped and sank. All eleven crew members perished."

Interesting fact is that the storm was so intense and the waves so high that it actually slammed the entire boat into the bottom which was the final death blow for it...remarkably "intact" for being in such shallow water...

two from this morning ~

As always this thread has some great shots! The shipwreck is very cool and to have the history makes it more so!
