VOYEURS LOVE THE 40D !

OK, Sheriff, I'd better explain this one.
I went out in the back yard tonight to photograph the full moon with
the 40D.
I had the 400 f/5.6L mounted with the 1.4x TC. Didn't get anything
great, but I did manage to catch a bird flying in front of the moon.

Anyway, something caught my eye up the street as I noticed movement in
a window from the only house on the block that had light emanating
from it. (Most of the elderly folks in my hood go to bed well before
11:30PM when this was taken.)
The house was too far away to tell what I was looking at so I turned
the 40D and fired off a few frames. I rather like the result.

I did a little color balance tweaking on part of the pic to achieve
the look I wanted (the original was very orange). I think it has kind
of an Americana feel to it, dontcha think?

OK, now all you haters can let it rip.
I'm just glad I didn't stumble on a team of cheerleaders at a slumber
party.
I coulda been out there in that cold air all night!

Cool pic of the moon! Lovely detail. I like the bird flying across.
It gives it a soulful feeling.

I agree, the second pic does have an Americana feel to it. It tells a
story. The man with the brush cut walking across numerous beer
bottles on a windows ledge. Probably getting a beer during a
commercial on tv. You did a great job with the color balance. At
that speed, I can see how the pic was really orange.

I bet the kooks will claim that's a flying saucer getting ready for a moon
landing.......

I wonder why he saves his old beer bottles?

That was the first thing in my mind as well. The movie Rear Window
with James Stewart.

Bret, you rock! A dSLR in your hands (and a canon, too) is like a philips
screwdriver in mine, hehehe.(Or better, my all-time favourite, the Browning
0.50 " machine gun, with incendiary, armor-piercing and tracer ammunition).I
liked almost all your photos that you posted, you can make even your cat's
portrait a masterpiece.

Are you related to Helen?

LOL! I KNEW someone was going to say it! Nope, I have no greek
relatives. But I do agree with his opinion about Bret, except for one
thing, he said "almost" every pic. I have yet to see one of Bret's
pics that wasn't excellent.............but then you already knew that.

Looks more like you got some bird**** on your lens, LOL. This must be the
ugliest picture of the moon. Do a google and see what they should look like.
