What to expect? We had no idea when we booked our trip to Myanmar. But, what we were met by was a country full of warmth, incredible people, easy transit, and endless beauty.
These photos highlight my visit to Myanmar with my brother and aspire to capture and share some of that beauty with you.

Dublin Castle is not what many tourists expect and below is an example of a not untypical review:
"Not a castle at all. Basically a government building that they hang artwork in and not good artwork." This reaction is not at all surprising.
If you you intend to visit Dublin Castle you need to be aware that it is a working castle and that it has been modified many times over an extended period and that it was never intended that its main function is to operate as a tourist attraction. If you are unimpressed by the castle then it might be a good idea to visit the Chester Beatty [there is no entry fee].
The Chester Beatty is a museum and library. Formerly known as the Chester Beatty Library, it was established in Ireland in 1950, to house the collections of mining magnate, Sir Alfred Chester Beatty. The present museum, on the grounds of Dublin Castle, opened on 7 February 2000, the 125th anniversary of Beatty's birth and was named European Museum of the Year in 2002.
The museum's collections are displayed in two galleries: "Sacred Traditions" and "Artistic Traditions". Both displays exhibit manuscripts, miniature paintings, prints, drawings, rare books and some decorative arts from the Persian, Islamic, East Asian and Western Collections. The Chester Beatty is one of the premier sources for scholarship in both the Old and New Testaments and is home to one of the most significant collections of Islamic and Far Eastern artefacts.
A expectativa do acampamento é reunir cerca de mil representantes indígenas de todos os estados até a sexta, dia 13/5. O evento faz parte da Mobilização Nacional Indígena, é organizado pela Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Apib) e apoiado por organizações indigenistas parceiras.
“O objetivo do acampamento é continuar afirmando nossos direitos garantidos na Constituição Federal. E nos manifestar contra os ataques, os retrocessos e todas as ameaças que tramitam principalmente no Congresso Nacional e afetam diretamente os direitos dos povos indígenas”, diz Sônia Guajajara, da coordenação da Apib.

Expect more shots of this old looker...People use the field as a kind of park, to run their dogs and such. Funny how I am in this city of many beautiful parks and I am drawn to this place. Abandoned schools have some sort of energy too them that I can't put my finger on. Also, for me, the only kind of recurring dream I have involves school.
This school also seems to represent the state of this city; that of one in transition. I expect this will be a condo soon, so I aim to spend more time here, writing and reading and looking for a job online.
The batteries on my 'real camera' were dead when I went there today (a few days after the day of this shot) and I got some better phone shots, will post soon, and I plan on returning and taking some shots with my Fuji.
How's all that for overthinking the importance of an abandoned school?

Uma reunião realizada, dia 26/10, por equipe da Prefeitura com moradores e a diretoria do Condomínio Nosso Rancho - CNR revelou que o desfecho da regularização fundiária pode ocorrer em breve. As diretrizes definidas pelo Executivo vão ao encontro das expectativas dos moradores, cada vez mais conscientes de que as etapas rumo a conclusão da regularização, com o registro cartorial e titulação, passam por questões legais, urbanas, de mobilidade e ambientais, além de contrapartidas.
O encontro contou com a presença da prefeita Marília Campos que também visitou o Conjunto Militar Lacyr Mesquita, localizado ao lado da área do Nosso Rancho, que tem histórico de implantação iniciado também pela empresa G5 Agropecuária e também será regularizado. Enquanto o CNR se enquadra na modalidade de Regularização Fundiária de Interesse Específico - Reurb-E, o núcleo urbano Conjunto Militar Lacy Mesquita é caracterizado como Regularização de Interesse Social - Reurb-S, sendo a modalidade aplicada a núcleos urbanos, predominantemente, ocupados por população de baixa renda.
A prefeita Marília Campos disse que retornava ao Novo Rancho para dar retorno sobre as tratativas realizadas entre a Prefeitura e representantes da G5 Agropecuária, empresa que implantou o condomínio na década de 1990. “Tenho o prazer de retornar aqui, hoje, com minha equipe para apresentar o modelo preparado, após debates entre as partes, em alguns momentos conflitantes. Mas estamos rumo ao consenso”, disse ela, citando critérios seguidos como a legislação vigente; a preservação ambiental, comungada pelos moradores, além do critério que é a participação destes no diálogo.
“Acredito que iremos atender ao sonho de vocês”, arrematou a prefeita, que, ao responder questionamento de uma moradora, disse que uma nova reunião será agendada para tratar do IPTU. “Em uma discussão que passará também pelo critério legal, consensual, de forma a não penalizar ninguém, por se tratar de imóveis localizados na Área de Proteção Ambiental - APA Vargem das Flores”.
Processo contém etapas, diretrizes e uma meta comum
Cumprindo uma das diretrizes, nos próximos dias, a Autarquia Municipal de Trânsito e Transporte - Transcon vai medir e catalogar as vias internas do condomínio Nosso Rancho para estabelecer e formatar um sistema viário principal que irá proporcionar o acesso aos setores ou subcondomínios de lotes. A especificidade da Reurb do CNR indica conceito de modalidade mista ou híbrida, com acesso controlado e condomínio de lotes. Também a Procuradoria Geral do Município - PGN vai alinhar as diretrizes com a legislação vigente no conceito ambiental e urbanístico de forma a subsidiar o documento final de regularização que seguirá para o cartório.
A conclusão do registro de ambas as localidades é meta para os moradores tanto do condomínio quanto do conjunto, bem como para a administração municipal que vem trabalhando nestes quase dois anos em um amplo programa de regularização fundiária, retomando processos de registros antes paralisados, iniciando novos, destravando e atualizando questões legais, conhecendo e catalogando, numa ação participativa com as comunidades.
A subsecretária de Licenciamento e Fiscalização, Samantha Sant’anna, explicou, no encontro, que a regularização fundiária aplicada ao Condomínio Nosso Rancho será a maior aprovada pelo município até hoje. “A área é muito extensa. Trata-se de uma Reurb complexa, principalmente pela riqueza ambiental, localizada na bacia hidrográfica de Vargem das Flores e, também por estar em uma área conurbada, ou seja, situada na divisa entre Contagem, Esmeraldas e Ribeirão das Neves. Além disso, desde o primeiro Plano Diretor de Contagem, a área do condomínio sempre esteve localizada na Zona Rural. Até o advento da lei federal 13.465 de 2017, não havia dispositivo legal para a regularização de um núcleo urbano situado na Zona Rural”.
A Reurb do CNR teve a sua concepção e diretrizes formatadas graças às discussões nas secretarias afins ao tema. Dentre as diretrizes, ainda é possível citar a transferência para a Prefeitura, pela incorporadora G5 Agropecuária, de áreas da região destinadas à implantação de equipamentos comunitários de saúde, educação e lazer, bem como a adequação das condições do sistema viário com pavimentação, drenagem, sinalização e iluminação, visando a melhoria das condições de circulação.
Histórico
O CNR tem quase de 3 milhões de m², foi consolidado há cerca de 33 anos, a partir de 128 glebas, de 20 mil m² cada que, posteriormente, foram subdivididas em 484 lotes com área média de 2.500 m². A especificidade da regularização se explica pelo tamanho desta área onde também está a segunda maior lagoa do município - atrás somente da Lagoa de Vargem das Flores - com mata e variada fauna e flora. O manancial de água pura segue pelo córrego chamado de Água Suja até Vargem das Flores que integra o Sistema de Abastecimento de Água Potável do Rio Paraopeba.
As zonas rurais de Contagem foram extintas pela gestão passada da Prefeitura, por meio da lei 248 de 2018, que classificou este terreno em questão e de outros antes rurais, como de Zona de Expansão Urbana 3. Não obstante a esta medida, não comungada pela administração atual, a classificação dos zoneamentos está sendo alterada atualmente com a revisão do Plano Diretor de Contagem, cuja discussão teve ampla participação popular durante plenárias da Conferência Municipal de Política Urbana.
As modalidades de Loteamento de Acesso Controlado e Condomínio de Lotes, foram inseridas na legislação municipal pela lei complementar 295 de 2020, definindo limites máximos de área para cada modalidade, sendo 350 mil m², para acesso controlado e cem mil m², para o condomínio de lotes. Ocorre que no caso de Reurb o município pode dispensar parâmetros urbanísticos para viabilizar a regularização.
Abaixo-assinado também solicita a regularização
A síndica do CNR, Lidiane Acácio, entregou à prefeita Marília Campos, um abaixo-assinado, onde 347 proprietários estão conscientes de que a proposta do condomínio do CNR é de que a regularização contemplará a divisão da área em subcondomínios, sendo estes geridos pelas administrações condominiais de cada um, exceto a área do entorno onde está a lagoa, mata e vertedouro que escoa a água desta, em direção à Lagoa de Vargem das Flores, pelo córrego chamado de Água Suja.
Segundo Lidiane Acácio, após a Prefeitura apresentar a proposta final e consensual, esta será divulgada em assembleia geral com os proprietários do CNR, retornando, posteriormente, para a aprovação da prefeita Marília Campos e se transformando em documento.
“Desde 2016, estamos batendo à porta da Prefeitura para o diálogo, em busca da regularização, pois todos aqui pagamos pelos lotes. A atual administração nunca nos deu as costas. Já na Conferência Municipal de 2021, em que se discutia as modificações do Plano Diretor, vocês já demonstravam respeito ambiental e interesse em nos ouvir”, disse a síndica, reforçando que a ideia é ter os corredores ecológicos, continuando a norma da inexistência de muros para preservar a ida e vinda dos animais e aves, com um regimento mais rígido.
A opinião de moradores no encontro com a prefeita foi unânime no que refere à expectativa de que desta vez haverá um projeto de Reurb consensual, pois todos já respeitam um regimento interno do CNR. Entre estes, a moradora Cláudia Maria da Silva Rios, considerou que “moram num paraíso e estão felizes com a regularização que se aproxima''.

The history of roses in the People's Garden
The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:
1000 standard roses
4000 Floribunda,
300 rambling roses,
(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.
Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:
1859 - Rubens
1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods
1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier
The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:
730 tree roses
2300 Floribunda
132 rambling roses
100 shrub roses
That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.
Molineux 1994
Rubens 1859
Medialis 1993

Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes
1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made multiple extensions.
The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)
What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.
Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.
Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.
1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

Classifications of roses
(Wild roses have 7 sheets - prize roses 5 sheets)
English Rose
Florybunda
Hybrid Tea Rose
Rambling Rose
At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:
Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;
Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;
English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.
Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose
Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)
Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses
Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).
All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".
Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )
Other classifications are:
(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.
Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds
Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other
English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)
4000 Floribunda
Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy
There are few smelling varieties
Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms
New concept of color: from red to light yellow
The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

Standard tree rose Maria Theresa
Floribunda aspirin
The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

300 ambling roses
The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Schlingrose Danube
Schlingrose tenor
Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

Wasn't expecting to see this in Mereworth!, though this was bit of a grab shot as it snuck up on me, and this Newly arrived ex Stagecoach in Cumbria vehicle which was the first? PS B10M delivered to Stagecoach, was climbing the B2016 Road Seven Mile Hil into Mereworth, and is now used by Hugh Lowes Farms to transport farm workers around Mereworth near Maidstone in Kent, and is one of up to 15! vehicles that have seen use here at Mereworth, and these are not the only ex Stagecoach Vehicles in Farms use in the Maidstone Area, and according to Recently Updated Google Maps Satellite Imagery some others can still be found around Five Wents, Langley, Langley Heath, Warmlake, Chart Sutton, Sutton Valence, Linton, Collier Street, Yalding and Coxheath.
This year I am making Photography Calendars, and so if you still like my work as much as all your favourites and comments say you do, here is the EBAY link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375115679073?hash=item5756a30561:g:Xrc..., and you do not need an EBAY Account to buy one, as you can "Check Out as Guest".
All Feedback is Welcome, and I look forward to doing business with you!
another from the maternity shoot. she is cutie, huh? Using my new lighting set up....my Westcott Halo shoot through umbrella.
As expectativas foram alcançadas. No primeiro dia da Semana Cult, a palestra de abertura do Deputado Federal Márcio França lotou o ginásio da Unibr. A Orquestra do 2º Batalhão e o Coral formado por professores da Faculdade também foram muito aplaudidos.
Com o tema Ética e Responsabilidade Social, o Delegado Federal Protógenes Queiroz, que comandou a Operação Satiagraha, também foi muito prestigiado pelos universitários e comunidade vicentina.
No pátio e nas classes, com mais palestras, oficinas, mini-cursos, exposições, teatro, festivais gastronômicos também chamaram a atenção do público.
A Semana Cult será encerrada hoje e o objetivo já foi conquistado: criação de um espaço interativo de produção acadêmica, que leva cultura e entretenimento aos alunos e a população da região.
Hoje ainda acontecem as palestras com o Secretário de Meio Ambiente de Santos, Fabio Alexandre Nunes, o Fabião, a vereadora Telma de Souza. A banda Carlos Bronson fará o encerramento.

I did a mini shoot for one of my best friends who found out that they are expecting! It was lots of fun and a great way for them to tell everyone the news!! On the blog www.freelandphotgraphy.wordpress.com
Having never been to the "Wild" West Hollywood Halloween Parade before I was unsure of exactly what to expect. I knew about the outrageous Halloween Costumes, and the wild parties from the news media though. I also knew there would be lots of cross dressers.
A meetup group was supposed to meet at a nearby parking structure but it got cancelled at the last minute and naturally I chose to go it alone rather than turn back. What's that we used to say - "Though I be the Lone Survivor..." hmmm, amazing how that Creed still comes in handy 30 some years later...
Parking was challenging but I found a reasonably priced lot about a mile away and grabbed my gear and walked down to the parade route.
I staked myself out under a streetlamp in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd, and tried to get as many of the unique and good costumes as I could. One of the inside jokes is to let the newbies keep asking "What time does the parade start?" All night long. Eventually they figure it out.
These pictures were shot with a brand new Canon 7D with a ringflash. Unfortunately the ringflash blocks the focusing light from the flash unit so there were some challenges focusing in the poor light. With every breakthrough comes new obstacles. Such is life.
The Canon 7D preformed reasonably well under the circumstances. It sure as heck ain't no 1D or 5D, but it is an 18 Megapixel, APS-C 1.6x Crop sensor size, and very practical. It has a bunch of features that the 5Dii doesn't have, although the 5Dii has a much higher quality sensor, which is also slightly larger (21 Megapixel), as well as being full frame. The 7D is also noisier than the 1D or 5d at anything higher than ISO 400, but was useable under the circumstances. It also does video, but I didn't try to use it that night. I've obviously been spoiled by my 1D.
I ran out of biz cards the first hour. If your picture is in here, just use flickr mail to send me your email address, me and I'll send you the file at No Charge.
I'll be back next year - this is a fun parade.
This lovely lady came to me once more for maternity and soon-to-be newborn portraits. Love her!

What's that we used to say - "Though I be the Lone Survivor..." hmmm, amazing how that Creed still comes in handy 30 some years later...
Parking was challenging but I found a reasonably priced lot about a mile away and grabbed my gear and walked down to the parade route.
I staked myself out under a streetlamp in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd, and tried to get as many of the unique and good costumes as I could. One of the inside jokes is to let the newbies keep asking "What time does the parade start?" All night long. Eventually they figure it out.
These pictures were shot with a brand new Canon 7D with a ringflash. Unfortunately the ringflash blocks the focusing light from the flash unit so there were some challenges focusing in the poor light. With every breakthrough comes new obstacles. Such is life.
The Canon 7D preformed reasonably well under the circumstances. It sure as heck ain't no 1D or 5D, but it is an 18 Megapixel, APS-C 1.6x Crop sensor size, and very practical. It has a bunch of features that the 5Dii doesn't have, although the 5Dii has a much higher quality sensor, which is also slightly larger (21 Megapixel), as well as being full frame. The 7D is also noisier than the 1D or 5d at anything higher than ISO 400, but was useable under the circumstances. It also does video, but I didn't try to use it that night. I've obviously been spoiled by my 1D.
I ran out of biz cards the first hour. If your picture is in here, just use flickr mail to send me your email address, me and I'll send you the file at No Charge.
I'll be back next year - this is a fun parade.
I expected Elfs to take their bath here in this beautifull forrest, unfortunatly i could not discover any Elfs and instead i got some wet feet .
