Day 1: Shot a young buck with my Canon

Comment:
Wow, thanks for all the great comments. I got this guy on one of my walks at lunch in a inner city park about a 5min drive from my work. I was actually shooting a couple smaller younger deer when this buck came up behind me about 20 feet from me so I managed to get this shot before he took off. Ill be posting more in the next day or so :)

Thanks again,

Just a side note for those that couldn't tell, this is a model of one of the battle mechs from the matrix reloaded. I guess a more obvious title mite have made a difference...

a couple of the water fall ones are HDR in a way where I used on average 3 different exposures out of the same raw file and blend/edit from there. The rest are mainly just levels adjustment and some hue/saturation adjustment...

Hi Ursula, yes this is pretty much a self portrait of my son Brandon and I, my wife took the shot over the holidays, I had thought about entering it in the B&W challenge but there was a few things in the background that had to be removed and Im sure it would have been DQ'd for the cloning.

I would say 90% of my photos are taken with out a tripod as I rarely have the time to set it up for alot of the shots Ive taken...

This one was shot freehand as well, I prob could have used a little more USM but at the time liked it the way it was.

Thanks much for the comments :)

I did forget to mention that when this pic was taken in April this year its still in its original condition and been pretty much a daily driver for the past 26 years through some of the worst Canadian winters :)

Just recreating one of GM's ads for the 80' Z28, my mother bought this car new in 80' and probably before it was off the lot I was asking for it, so 26 years later its mine and still in great condition. I'm hoping to do a complete frame off rebuild on it in the next few years...
