All thumbnails now link to the original image

You read my mind (not sure if this was discussed previously but I was thinking to myself it would be a cool feature).

Congrats to Baracuda (your first?) and Uranus! Excellent work all around. Stupid Real Life got in the way this week for me, hope to be back for “Carnival of Animals” next week.

I’ve been through Happy Tx!

So you’re sad now?

[fluffybunny]

Gah, my bad. Missed that key word.

Finally got mine done enough to put up the link for it:

Already added everyone in this thread to my links page.

Thanks in advance to those that reciprocate.

Kind of figured Petersen was controversial from what little I researched. Went ahead and ordered the book, we’ll see I guess.

Still trying to understand the fundamentals of bike fit as I go, also need to get in better physical condition. Maybe after those loosely defined goals I’ll seek out someone. Just tried moving my saddle back 3/4″ to see what happens over a few rides.

Sucks about the knee, don’t push it and here’s to a full recovery.

So motion capture,… did they have you wear one of those funny ping-pong ball suits?

Yeah the heat is a killer. One of my habit-trail rides is 20 miles and I always stop at 11 miles for 5 or 10 minutes. This last time I felt like I was going to pass out just standing there. It was only 11:00 am but I guess I need to start earlier.

It really depends I guess on what kind of Boid shooting you’re going to do. I am in love with my Sigma 100-300 F4 (got it new for $700, they are discontinued and becoming hard to find), but that under the bridge shot of Cliff Swallows was really pushing it. There was plenty of full afternoon sun coming in from the sides and I was still shooting at ISO 1600 to get shutter speed high enough.

I can afford f4 long glass, f2.8 long,.. well maybe I’ll hit that lottery some day.

I’m not CISS and I may have misunderstood the question, but,..

To do “serious” birding, one needs at least a 300mm on a APS-C, 400mm on FF, an extender doesn’t hurt either. Naturally, the five thousand plus dollars for such lenses tend make that a little…ah, daunting.

Seriously? //I gotta start looking at extenders for my lens; I’m at 480mm equiv APC, and if I could just bump that up to 960…no coffee that day….need a steady hand from on far.

All of my entries were shot on my 70-200 f4L, but I cheated: I went to shows and zoos where I could get up close and personal with the birds. I enjoy photographing birds, it’s challenging and the results can be stellar, but the whole endeavor is far out of my price range I couldn’t see it with the Hubble.

Siriusly? //I gotta start looking at wide angle-close lenses; I’m at 24mm equiv APC, and if I could just bump that down to 12…I’ll need coffee that day; need quick reflexes from up close.

You guys are all wrong. I do all my work with an SE 11? rock pick. M. C., haven?t you watched Shawshank Redemtion? That guy hammered through a prison with an SE 11. Sure it took a few years, but anything you really love doing you?ll be doing for years. Just because something is newer, doesn?t make it better

Bird in flight for the contest:

American Cliff Swallow?

A friend sent me this. Looks interesting, perhaps for someone like me who doesn’t have a long view of historical cycling.

Damn Baracuda, I held back on my Green Heron knowing you were headed in that direction (I like yours better anyways) but we seem to have found the same Scissor Tail as well.

Excellent work,… one and all.

[fluffybunny]

4, and that’s 5 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

/Cool link though, thanks
