Had a nice time on vacation. Not much of a camera vacation but did get 2 shots I liked. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>1.Early Morning Shake. <font color="navy">f/11</font> <b>l </b><font color="navy">iso100</font><b> l</b> <font color="navy">1/60</font> <b>l </b><font color="navy">500mm </font></p>
<p><font color="black">What I like: the movement of the loon and the water reflection</font></p>
<p><font color="black">What I hate: the darkness of the shore at the head height.</font></p>
<p><i>Discussion wanted:</i> With such a distance to cover I find it hard to focus. I tried many photos of this bird at a higher iso so I could increase the speed to "freeze' the action but my focus was off on all but a handful. How does one focus so far away? Or is it more hit and miss at this distance?</p>

<p>2. Totem Spirit <font color="navy">f/6.7</font> <b>l</b> <font color="navy">iso400</font> <b>l</b> <font color="navy">1/125</font> <b>l</b> <font color="navy">55mm</font></p>
<p><font color="black">What I like: The natural colours and the eyes that appear to be made of glass (but they are all wood)</font></p>
<p><font color="black">What I hate: The f stop. Lost some detail in the grain. I also chopped his poor eye off. pfffthhhhh</font></p>
<p><i>Discussion wanted:</i> What f stop would you have shot this at?</p>
