Let's try something: For all comments and votes collectors.

Wow - thanks so much people.

This has been a great idea, my hits have increased to almost 600,000.
And I now have two galleries in the most popular list. (One was a blatent symphathy vote seeker though).

Let's carry it on - All of us should try and leave comments on the galleries we visit, good or bad.

More power to us.

Okay, I will give it a whirl. Here is a new gallery of shots taken at the Tulsa Zoo. Yes, YAZ (yet another zoo).

I went to your zoo gallery and your bird pics are impressive. You might also list what lenses you are using. I voted for the whole gallery. I don't like zoos but your bird pics are worth a vote.

Please feel free to stop over and look at mine.

Thanks for your comments. I visited your site as well. Right now, I only have two lenses for my 10D. The one I use the most is a Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. I also have a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. I hope to add a 70-200 f/2.8L IS this summer.

Chuck, I know you cannot add the EF-S 10-22mm because they did not make it for the 10D (which sucketh, I know) but you should maybe consider a wide-angle (Sigma among others make them) and maybe one for portrait (35 mm or 50mm) to round out your arsenal. You would be surprised how valuable each can be.

Here is what a wide-angle can do for you:


See how the lines all converge? Doesn't it pull you into the picture?

And as far as a 35 or 50, you can get a 50mm f/1.8. Think about how bright that is!


You want to handhold shots, stop action and still be able to crop? Brighter lenses.

I love taking candids. The wideangle allows me to shoot sort of away from the subject and still catch them dead on. Yes, I do crop things and have not dealt with trying to straighten the distortion yet.

Anyway, just my two cents worth. You keep on shooting, dude!

Fraternally,
Ellsworth Weaver

This is a great idea. One of the biggest reasons I joined a site like this was to get feed back and advice on my photography. So please take a look and my (minimal) page and hope you enjoy

Thanks in advance!

Yeah! Sad fact that most people are lookers and not talkers.
How long would it take them to say "Hey, Great photos!"

By the way Stephen "Hey, Great photos!"
