Saw that on your Flickr site, Ed. Love the duo-tone aspect. Plus the juxtaposition of the square bales and lines against the curves and bushes of the mountains. Some nice compositional contrasts there.

Male Goldfinch Picks Thistle Apart by dcstep, on Flickr

I saw a BIG patch of thistle with birds flying in and out, so I brought my 1,000mm and stool and sat right at the edge of the patch. This is one of many finches that approached close enough that no crop was needed. I cropped here only to square it up.

I hardly ever shoot my 500mm bare anymore. Even though it's a huge battle to AF my 5D MkIII with the 2.0x TC-III on it, it's on about 90% of the time and I "step down" to the 1.4x when I absolutely have to have more AF speed. The extra pixels on the subject just make a huge difference.

What are you going to go see? Go to Ft. Baker/Battery Spencer/Conzelman road for night shots of the GG Bridge. Battery Townsley if you want to see the barrel of a 16"/50 cal naval gun. Just like those on the Iowa class battleships.

Thanks for the tips buddy, but my daughter lives here and I'm going to a conference starting on Monday. It'll mainly be eating; Michael Mina's last night, Sushi Otoro tonight, Yank Sing for dem sum, etc., etc.

Thanks,

Dave

Yup, I forgot about her.
You lucked out with the weather, other than the nasty wind a couple of days ago was thick evening clouds. Great day today.

Chamber of Commerce days; morning fog and clouds, afternoon sun and "breeze" (unless you're on the water or something, then it's a wind).

O-Toro was great last night. The Otoro Sashimi was the REAL THING with nice, thick slices.

^ nice shot! I think you needed a slightly longer exposure time though.

I miss those falls. One of my favorite photos from that trip was where I'm peering over the edge on that bridge.
