5) Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

I'll give it a go, I can cut and paste just can't type

I don't have much to show here is the Amtrak bridge with a pair of Eagles nesting on the top:

[Toshi]

Very nice silhouette shot Tom!

Here are some of my shots from Saturday ...

[borno]

I like the bird shots Toshi, Is that a Koi the Heron got?
We are finally seeing some decent weather on the east coast
I got some Eagles gettin' nasty this am (had a day off)

[David Whiteley]

WOW! I got nothin' to follow that!

[RollsUp]

Nice captures borno! Talk about being at the right place.
Toshi, I like the surf shot and the heron flying away from you.
These are nowhere near as dramatic as the previous posts. Got these from the local schools Valentines Games Gala.

[Rense]

Very nice captures were posted yesterday! Those eagles shots are magnificent borno!
Here something more depressing: the rain on our window last night....

I like the bird shots Toshi, Is that a Koi the Heron got?

Yup, it looks like a plump koi/carp lunch for the heron

Everything around here is brown or gray. Depressing. Clemson University has a research station near our home where we walk every chance we get. These two were taken on their property. I was testing a new lens. Hope you like them.

Whatever lens you got looks like a good one Susan
Is that a W14 Case?

Here's a quick sample from after work:





Dad bringing in a stick

[smf]

The photo of the safe is a reshooting, with what I hope is better composition, of an earlier image.
Suggestions and critiigues are welcome (if you prefer, by PM or by e-mail).
K100D, DA18-55, ISO400, manual focus, shutter priority, tripod used with photo of safe

[slowpez]

Tom, those eagles are killing me. What a fantastic bird. Well captured. I have no idea what a W14 Case is. The sign was on the front of an old tractor. I do like to photograph bits and pieces of old farm equipment.
Rense, I love what you did with the rain shot. It looks like a UFO that tied one on.

[Rense]

Slowpez - nice captures, I like the second one. Case is a tractor brand, W14 is probably a certain type?
Tom - I WANT EAGLES TOO! We don't 'ave 'em....
Smf - thanks for the shots. Again, this safe is very nice!

So, here are some of mine, shot with my new Macro-Takumar 50mm (and also posted in the Takumar-club thread).
