I should have used a different streamer, this one has been banged up pretty good.

 I've got fast enough lenses (17-55 2.8, 100macro 2.8), just not fast enough me action - lol.  There's so many times I know one is getting ready, I start to get ready, they twitch, I shoot, they stay, then they jump - lol.

 Mitchell's fish market.  It's a national chain of 'fresh fish caught daily' place.  My Mom actually ordered it, just she never finishes anything and I'm on a kick of try everything at least once.

Bill should have bought the 17-55 to begin with.  It is the best EF-S lens made without question.  The $1100 tag is steep, but once you get the lens, no regrets.  I will always keep a crop body around just for that lens.
 *Forgot - The penguin I was shooting was almost in the dark.  It was in the back of the indoor exhibit.  The lighting was from heat lamps... I mean bad, so I desaturated them to salvage the image.  I'll try to catch one in mid-air next time I visit.
 
 These were taken with my cell phone while driving around some old areas downtown earlier today:

Me, not the kids. I didn't feel like pulling the ABs out so I opted to hang my speedlite and a white bounce umbrella. I believe this was at 1/4 power, triggered with the cactus v4, shot with my 18-55mm lens.

bob: really dig it. any way you can make it feel a bit more... dead?  
 You mean desaturate it some more?  That would definitely work for that shot.

Sweet.  
 I've been at this hobby for about a year now and am already shooting film again myself.  Cool pics - what body / lens did you use?  The nikon + 35-70 in your member info?  Looks great.

 I certainly didn't add any saturation to the original, but I did like the effect of pulling some yellow out, as seen below:
 
 
  
 The sun just made that grass particularly vibrant that evening.

 I liked the first version a lot better, it just seems much clearer and sharper without all that scattering.  But at any rate an excellent pic.  Well done sir.
