Well, I suppose that this should count.

We had walked about 2 miles before seeing Wiggo come past in the 2012 Olympic road race.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's a really interesting shot

At first glance, I thought, "Huh?!" but as I scrolled the screen down, I saw that the huge OOF blob hiding half the image was, in fact, the finest flag in the world, fluttering in front of the cyclists!!!!

Hoorah!!

Thanks so much for posting the shot!

Simon

Don`t know exactly how many miles we walked this past week-end but...it was a lot...

well, I posted links to pics but don`t see them...had a similar problem last week with Photobucket...so we`ll see what happens...they may show up...

I walked up to the tower on Sunday and passed this little guy goining about his business.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's a wonderful shot of the birdie!!!
Didn't know you had a 5D3 and 600mm lens, either! Very swish!!!

How's the 5D3 working out for you?
Has Canon got it right?
100%.....or almost 100%.....?


And @it's me, you keep on coming up with great shots of "our" country.
I'm jealous, but finally, after we finish moving apartments this month, I'll be in a prettier location with more to photograph again (like when I first started the thread!), and not stuck up on top of a "mountain", which means it's always uphill, on the return leg of any "walk/cycle" trip I tried to make.

Cheers for now,
Simon

Thanks Simon. Yes I bought the 600 lens last year at an almost reasonable price for bird photography...and lost a lot of pics through the rather poor AF on the 5D2. Not that it isn't accurate, but tracking was a nightmare for me.

And is the 5D3 better? You bet it is! Almost 100%, and the bit that's missing is probably in the fellow driving it. I mean, I don't know how much better a camera could be with the present technology, but I know I could be better!

Image IQ is not "better" enough to make the change....but for action it certainly is.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wow!
More excellent shots.
Thanks for adding..... Tana-bata is a great festival for photos!

Very interesting read, Ricardo.
The Canon pros I work with are now looking at the 5D3 or 1DX as the next upgrade, while the Nikonites are giving the D800 a miss.
So, maybe Canon did get it right with the 5D3!
Yay!


And I hear you about the 600L.
I simply can't justify that beauty while we've a young baby, and plans for building a house/studio/concert hall.....but boy! I'd love one.

Excellent shot!
