Looking forward to seeing what people can come up with this month.
It's certainly an interesting topic and can yield a wide variety of imaginative interpretations.

Hi,

Ving, enter the cow!!!

Hi,

Tnbk00, I tried to take a picture like that of the helicopters flying over Arlington National Cemetry when I was in the US last year, but they kept on moving everytime I lined up the shot...I think they meant it!!

I'm thinking, why has firstlight marked his image with a red circle - is the object of interest in this part of the photo? Then I opened it! That's a neat shot!

Crikey, what a wonderful set of entries to date. I'm really going to have to find my thinking cap - though I suspect that it is still boxed up somewhere or other after my move of residence some 10 years ago.

Thanks, I got a series of shots with that throw... it was a toss-up with the entry and this one, which is another throw entirely. About a 50% crop of the original.


Cool view, eh? We're going back there in May... going to be a difficult proposition but if it is clear I might drag myself out for the eta-Aquarids.

Great shot Dennis, a wonderful capture.

"Evoking the emotion of motion" - Love the caption too !

Thanks RB. This was 1st light for my early Xmas present and I haven’t quite learned how to drive the Canon yet – it truly is a wonderful beast! I also subsequently discovered that there is a “follow focus” mode where the auto focus continues to track the moving target when the shutter release is half pressed. I only had it on single shot mode so the seagull moved!

Cheers

We are drooling about your new toy Dennis. This is the camera we would like to get. Tempted to get a modded one from Hutec (sp?)... one purchase that will have to wait

Hi Tony

The Canon camera is certainly a step up from the Pentax, but equipment certainly doesn’t maketh the man! In my ignorance, I depressed the shutter release ½ way and focused on some ripples in the water below where I anticipated the seagull would fly. This "locks" the focus point. I then tried to predict the flight path of the bird and fully depress the shutter release at the point where I anticipated the seagull would be. Only this single shot worked, just – the other 30 or so were duds, but that is the beauty of digital.

I have since discovered that I could have set the lens to a follow focus mode, where it would have continued to attempt to focus on the moving bird right up to the point of shutter release. There’s still some of the old 35mm manual film camera stuff cluttering up my brain!

Cheers

Dennis

I haven't logged on lately and may have missed it, so which model did you buy Dennis ?

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

LOL! Good one Ving!

Is that at the place on the Hume Hwy near the Picton exit?
