Here's one from today in Central Park. This was shot with the 16-35mm f4 IS. I just cropped it to 4/3. The shot below it is a 100% crop from the first image. Love this lens.

Dang Mark, has it really been a year since you last visited already?

[M_Six]

Yep. Book Expo is every year at this time. Next year it's in Chicago, though. So our string of yearly NYC visits will end.

[M_Six]

I love Central Park. I could come here every day.

Pretty happy with the SL1 and 55-250mm STM.

Really just s snapshot, but it does illustrate how good the Fuji is. I fumbled the settings, and ended up shooting a few JPEG only shots this last weekend. This was right out of the camera with a minor exposure tweak (1/2 stop or so)in Lightroom. ISO 1600 1/125 f/ 6.4, and I could totally make a sizable print with this. (The flight of Sbragia Cabs was really good too)

I got my eye on you...

So I was down at the water today taking pictures of boats and trains, when I heard a noise that will warm any aviators heart. The sound of 4 Wright R-1820-97 Cyclone Turbosupercharged Radials filled the air as B-17 "Nine O Nine" came into view flying along the bay. I wish I had known, as I would have positioned myself where I could have gotten a better side view. Still, being right under it as it flew over was pretty cool. I'm going to try to get it at a better place tomorrow, but the weather is not supposed to be as nice.

Agreed. I was standing in a graveyard a few months ago when a B-25 came over at treetop height. I was holding my 5D MkIII with the 70-200 f2.8 IS mounted. Do you think my first instinct was to grab a pic? Nooooo. I stood there like a dumbass with my jaw hanging to my belt gawking at the history flying by. Then when I finally remembered the hardware in my hands and grabbed some shots, the settings were waaaaaay off and I got big pics of white. How I wish I could have that minute back.

Your shot is awesome, Ed. Glad you didn't brain cramp like I did.

[M_Six]

Perfect timing, DC. I'll be out there at the Tech Center area in 3-1/2 weeks. We still on for a trip to your wildlife area?

Thanks Ed, but I had about 20-minutes and took the same shot over and over. He didn't move, except to crow.

Yes we are, but I don't have it on my calendar yet. Send me a PM with the exact date range.

Thanks Mark. Only because of past episodes like yours, I keep one of my custom settings (C1) on all my camera bodies set to TV 1/160 ISO100 for any random prop aircraft flying overhead, so I can quickly throw the dial, aim up, and fire! Nothing worst than the model airplane look!

Great pheasant shot Dave!

Speaking of which...I grabbed some shots of a commuter helicopter landing at a helipad beside the Hudson River a couple of days ago. Do you think I remembered to lower my SS to 120sec or so to get prop blur? Nooooo.
