The only way to stop his speed was to grab his undershirt.
We saw some in flight.
The last picture is probably my favorite. As we were leaving we noticed one in flight and it landed on the tree where the two we saw first were sitting. While it is hard to see on this small post, the two are looking at the one landing and they don't appear too happy to have a visitor.
I was shooting my D300 with Nikon's 18-200, maxed at 200mm. The pictures posted are cropped quite a bit. There were quite a few 400mm and 500mm f/2.8 lens out there. We saw a few rental cars with some serious equipment and not all of it was Canon. There were a few Nikonians out there. It would be interesting to know who the pros were shooting for. We only spent an hour; however, it was quite fun and very impressive. To see the eagles next to ducks, seagulls and geese you can appreciate the size of these big birds.
I used my Nikon 50MM f/1.8 on my D300, Aperture Priority at f/1.8, Shutter Auto (1/640) and ISO of 800. I shot landscape and cropped to portrait. I was right under the basket. The gym's lighting wasn't as bad as other gyms, but as seen in the background the walls are black with a dark red trim. This really darkens the gyms; however, provides a nice backdrop for this player's face.
These are blurred Christmas lights. These types of pictures were very popular this year. They were mainly used as backgrounds and if you look for them, you see them everywhere. It will be interesting if they are as popular next year.
This was taken along with a hopscotch image at Beacon Heights playground. The hopscotch image is one of my best sellers, so hopefully this will do well. You never know what will sell.
