Another nice one Rodny. I used to love watching the woodpeckers in my backyard . Sadly my silver maple where they lived became diseased and I had to have it cut down before it collapsed.

Thanks Dave. The 7DII/100-400II is proving to be an excellent walkabout combo.

Right after I get my S2 500/f4, the 100-400mm will go to the top of the wish list.

Great kite shot, Ed. Love the eye contact.

I took this first shot 7 years ago with my Panasonic Lumix FZ18. I had no idea what this alley was at the time. I just liked the old car sitting there. Earlier this week we stayed at the Casa Monica in St. Augustine, FL and drove into this alleyway to drop our car at the valet door. I was surprised to find myself here again after 7 years. This time I had a camera much more suited to nighttime photography.

Quite a difference Mark.

Awesome shot Dave. I'm always jealous of people that live near bald eagle habitat.

For once I had Christmas day to myself, so I went out to the wildlife reservation. I think half of northern California had the same idea as it was more crowded than I have ever seen it, but I still managed to bring home a few keepers.

Great shot Ed. I haven't seen the Grey Ghost in months. I have seen his lady and a juvenile quite regularly. I wonder if the females feed the males.

I wonder if everyone was out with their new cameras and gear.

I was shooting the eagles Christmas Eve morning with several other photogs. One guy was testing out a gift to his son.

It's snowing like crazy here today. I've got several runs to the airport to make, but I hope that I can catch some wildlife in the snow tomorrow.

Ambiance by ddk632, on Flickr

"Ambiance"

The SLS Hotel in Miami Beach, an iconic location, lit up at night with a perfect ambiance.

Shot handheld at ISO 5000 with the 6D and Canon TS-E 17mm, slightly corrected for verticals (rotated) and otherwise this is how it came out of the camera. Minimal editing on this one. The night light did all the work!

Great, very classy location for an evening drink in Miami Beach.

Lots of snow on this mountain cabin.
