Some photos of a bbq we had a while back, I didn't post them then but here they are now.

Salma - Thanks! I have lots of room for improvement, so I appreciate your kind comments! Love, love, love your vivid colors!

zach - Awesome clarity!!

XPLO - Love the colors and the details. Beautiful!

Here are two self portrait maternity pics I took with the nifty fifty. I'm currently 26.5 weeks. Yikes!:

Thanks! Congrats on the pregnancy. My 365 partner just posted a similar one of his lady. Feel free to check it out. Link in my sig. VVVV

Knife and knuckles, AWESOME!

Thanks bro. I love experimenting with single lights.

Aww, that's beautiful. Love the lighting! That's cool how you have a partner for that. I'm calling mine the 2010 project because I started the 365 blog last year and majorally failed. Plus, then I can put it on my business blog and at least post more than just when I shoot a session. I like the partner idea though. Very cool!

Thanks! It definitely helps in keeping motivated.

I think I'd agree - the posted pics have the toyger stripes & markings vs spots typical of a bengal or leopard, but I'm no zoologist either...

Me wants a toyger kitten!

EDIT: looked a little more via google, & I'm not prepared to say toyger or bengal. The bengal seems to have more spots yet has stripes in front and hind and around legs...

bengals have a range of markings and colours (i did a website a while back for a local breeder, thats where i met the kittens)

www.torreymaobengals.c​o.nz lots of bengal pics on there

Posted this in the 500D thread but I really like this shot. It's being able to take photos like these that will keep me using the nifty after my 70-200 f4 L arrives in the mail in a few days...

Both shots taken with the 50D with manual focus. First shot , ISO100, f4, 1/1000sec. Second shot ISO100, f4, 1/1600sec.

Probably as sharp a shot as I've gotten with this lens so far:
