I'm finally back. Have been in PT for my knee and learning iMovie 09 with my Canon 5D Mk 11. Hope you like this OOFTB type of imagery.

Canon 1D, EF 100- 400 f/ 4.5- 5.6 L @ 129 mm. and my 550 EX flash at reduced manual power with tripod. My exposure was 1/100 sec @ f/ 13.0 ISO 320.

Enjoy

Hi Charles, I like your choice of color and creativity. What catches my eye is the pattern that is formed in the center of the image. Nice one!

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Charles. Glad you are back on your feet. BTDT with knee surgery...

I like the colors and the effect you made. It reminds me of some blown glass art that I've seen. Very cool!

Charles, I'm glad you're better. This is a really neat image - I love the contrasting colors and the mini-world
effect.:)

Thanks for all the kind comments. This technique using polar coordinates was learned from his recent appearance on PhotoShop Users TV. Rick is an awesome teacher IMO. I've taken courses from Rick Sammon here in St. Augustine at our First Coast Nature & Birding Festival the last 4 years.
