Looking through some of my pictures of past winters trying to beat the heat, figured i'd throw a few up.

Picture of a couple of friends last night. This picture reminds me to ask the question: how do you guys juggle your shutter speed/iso as light drops when taking action picutures? Obviously I panned the subjects but they are still moving faaaasssst with their rotation and I'm using TV mode trying to keep the shutter as fast as possible without getting too much grain. Do you try to keep ISO under 400? 800? Is this something you just get a feel for after a while?

ISO 1600 1/1250 @ 200 mm F4 and this is cropped into that pretty good.

I drop down to 2.8

Just messing with you.

Personally, it depends on the shot for me. Is the motion of the subject the most important thing in the photo or an overall photo? What body are you shooting witn? With my 7D, I have found 1600 iso to be still pretty decent. I try not to go much higher than that. I have no problem taking the iso to 800 to get the shutter speed up to 1/1250 or so like you have it there. At that point I personally use the ole trial and error and see what comes out better as a lower my shutter speed or increase the iso.

Doubt that was very helpful as I talked in complete circles.

I rode my bike up City Creek canyon just outside of Salt Lake to get snapshots of a few of those ^^^columbines but, this was my picture of the day.

this image didnt come out that great, but I love the Kite coming right at me. It was hovering just a few meters above us and would stare right at us.

I love this shot satori, comp isn't great to me but those kinds of shots are all about luck anyways

Odd question, is there much symbolism of birds of prey in historical Japanese culture? The contrast of subjects in your shot makes me wonder these things ... I just love the classic structure and the soaring kite.

**satori** · 07-24-2010, 09:11 PM

SM, I havent seen much of them mentioned in books, nor drawn in any kind of artistic rendition either. Lots or rabbits, foxes, weasels etc, but never seen anything of birds. Mind you Im not the most artistic person out there either so maybe somebody else who has could enlighten us

**Mathematics** · 07-24-2010, 09:58 PM

great set, dig this one the most

Booooo...

One of those little bastards chewed up the handle of my fishing rod at Duck Lake. Before that they were cute little critters. Nice shot, though.

I've heard they are viscous little bastards. Sucks to hear about the rod

**SchralphMacchio** · 07-24-2010, 11:15 PM

outabounds, Duck Lake Oregon or Duck Lake by Mammoth Lakes?

I think they are just vicious bastards in that Mammoth area, as in other wilderness areas they usually run very far from me. I've seen them get pretty audacious with pack raids in the mammoth area. I carry a bear can always not for bears, but these little guys.

Here's a little teezer from an upcoming TR I'll hopefully get around to doing in the near future. Spent a little time in CA a few weeks ago. This one is from Half Dome:
