  Mine for today. If you look closely, you can just see the glass minnow in the egret's beak.

  Msmoto: how did you get that high angle on the last photo you posted? It looks like you were standing on the counter!

  For those who asked..high level position...hold camera over head and shoot several while moving the camera slowly....then pick in first edit the angle you want. (24mm lens, full frame)

  Msmoto: Nice photo; It is great to see old lenses used!
  
  
  Prime 85mm lens used for this, not the best choice in this situation since a wide angle lens could have provided more depth of field but it was all I had with me at the time. The 24-85 "kit" lens would have produced a better photo because I could have zoomed it to wide angle. You can see what I am talking about better in the lighbox link below.

  An opportunity missed here -
  
  I surprised this squirrel while walking down the street. It actually held a couple of poses for me, but I was too fumble fingered to get a fast enough shutter speed to get a good sharp pic. I gotta learn this equipment better.

  I like that this guy bent over to fit the frame. Don't so much like the lack of sharpness.

  This guy - Darren Brown (?) from England wanted to spend some sparkling wine, after he won 500 Swiss francs for jumping with his bike over a 7.5m (24.6 ft) highjump bar. And there was still some space between the wheels and the bar. Awesome. We have BikeDays in town and I will post some of the pics the next days.
