Today our bread has gone bad. Super chance for some food photography practice.

Now that the snow has also arrived in middle of Scandinavia, the urge to get out and take pictures is even greater. Unfortunately, only gray weather so far.
Did a print test with just snow, lasted all afternoon. Either it turns out too white without structure or it turns out too gray.
Tried both Ilford Multigrad and Foma Multigrad and my feeling is that the Foma paper handles highlights better.
The picture may be too bright but I have to blame my wife, she thinks it's good :-)
This is the best with analog photography, to care about just one neg.

Ever since I became a Flickr member I've enjoyed the gorgeous Bald Eagle pictures of, for instance Imtoootall, Doug LLoyd, Nikographer, Fella-1 and Garnite (to name a few...).
I long to go to the places they live/visit, see the eagles with my own eyes, but it seems that my wishlist of 'must see before I die'-places only grows longer since I'm on Flickr and the time left only becomes shorter.. :-)
But.... there are vague plans to go to Vancouver Island in autumn. I've heard from a friend that there seem to be a lot of these flying beauties around there.....
Meanwhile, last sunday I went with friends and their kids to Beekse Bergen in Holland. Apart from it being a lovely day which really lifted the spirits of us sunstarved people in the Netherlands (:-), they had a wonderful show with birds of prey.
So here was my chance to practice a little! You might call it a small miracle that I haven't hit anyone on the head with the camera and lens but I was só eager to get at least one shot right!
Ok, it might not (yet) be the real stuff, and it doesn't come near the quality of the above mentioned gentlemen's shots, but still I've enjoyed seeing this wonderful eagle fly enormously. (and at least it felt real !!! :-) )

This is my youngest. He knocked out some 80's rock for me while posing and letting me practice with my lighting. Oddly enough, he wasn't posing here, he was just looking at something behind him. I ended up liking it the best even though he's not playing his guitar here. I liked it so much when I took it I had him do several poses similar to this one.

About
I've put a 'CANON 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens' on lay buy, so I thought I'd do some practice shots at around 70mm with my trusty kit lens!
I don't plan on using the new glass for landscapes, but there will be sometimes when I will, and I want to challenge myself to work within this focal length, tighter crops etc
- ISO 100, f9, 1/320, 70mm
- Canon 75-300 Kit lens.
- Tripod.
Processing
- Off camera.
- 'Landscape' calibration in Lightroom 2.2.
- A small 'photoshopped' bird for a bit of fun, (bird shots are taken at same location).
Heavy winter rains create seasonal creeks that cascade down hillsides in unexpected places. This one was off OR-99 south of Oregon City.
Methinks yesterday’s HS sailing team’s practice was partially how to recover from heeling over (is that the correct term?) Also I think I need to bring my BGC to the lake, too
With the recent onset of true, winterlike temperatures in our area, the thistle sock has seen an increase in activity. Seems there's at least one or two Goldfinches on it whenever I look outside.
However, on this rather rainy day, while doing some birdwatching, I noticed there were lots of Goldfinches on the thistle sock, so I grabbed a shot before they flew off. I caught eight of them in this shot.
As we await the arrival of Winter Storm Ezra tomorrow, it's a good thing the Goldfinches were practicing their clinging and sharing skills, as those skills may be put to the test over the next two days.
And yes, there's a squirrel photobomber in the background, scarfing up the whole peanuts I'd tossed out earlier.
The actual training here had to do with rescuing people from cars swept away due to flash floods. This is the instructor from Northern Virginia.
One more pic below with the following description: Mr. Zoom and I took a nice bike ride down to what is usually the rocky part of the river yesterday. Because of the rains from the remnants of Hurricane Hanna, the water was high. Goochland County was taking advantage of the rushing water to train their new Swift Water Rescue Team.
