did you use a flash for that? Or was the bird just walking in a natural beam of light? Cool shot.

[Sundowner]

Thanks. No flash. It was just a nice diffuse light and I added a vignette in post.

I just got a 550D with battery grip, 4 batteries, an 8gb and a 16gb memory card for $700. I also got a Canon 70-200 f/4 for $500 from a friend who is switching to Nikon. Rad.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuk. What's the condition on that lens?

[dm]

Used, but still in excellent condition. Non IS, but yeah.

[pmahnn]

L. Yea. Great find.

[pmahnn]

And since you're shooting cropped it's more like 100-300. How do you like the 550d so far? Opinions on video? And yes, I realize you've only had it a short while. I'm curious!

i'm not jealous of the lens, but i will be jealous when you get that full sensor rig.

Cops killed an aggressive panhandler that tried to shoot them. One block from my apartment. Good times.

I assume that red liquid behind the open car door is the deceased's.

These have been in my empty DSLR box for a few years now.


The Nikon feels nice. The lens is solid. Japan! I should snag a bit o' film and do something with it.
