Your Canon Photos No.2: 14th to 20th May 2023

Hi davidwien, Thank You.

It's funny you should mention rain at the end of that pathway we had a hailstorm it's a good job the 7D mkII is waterproof and bulletproof. 😂

Hi Digirame, Thank You.

There was lots of Coots on the lakes and chicks of all stages those in the picture were very young. I found the Damselflies on the walk between the trees which overlooked both lakes.

Hi Digirame,

I love the rainbow photos especially Photo No. 3's colour it's so intense, super photo.

Dunlin,

Thanks. 😀 Nope I didn't make it to the end of the rainbow. It was gone in a few minutes, as the storm clouds moved east. I'm glad you like the non-event photos too.

Ray,

I like your tulips. Yes, that's OK to use a hybrid...looks great. 😀

Hi SandyF,

Beautiful colours, I don't think I've seen that plant.

Mocha,

Thanks. That intense rainbow was only there for a few seconds. It was late in the afternoon. The rainstorm quickly moved east.

David,

I don't know how far the rainbow is, but probably where the rain is coming down from the clouds.

Here's an example of issues a person has with depth of field.

Model - Canon EOS Rebel T7i
ExposureTime - 1/500 seconds
FNumber - 9
ISOSpeedRatings - 640
ExposureBiasValue - 0
FocalLength - 227 mm
Lens Model - EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Hi raythentic,

Love the array of colours.

David,

The availability of rose flowers for us, will be about the same. We might see a few of them, but mostly we need about two more weeks. That's great the rain stopped for you. We have bright sunny days now.

What's interesting for me, is to see that European architecture that we don't get here in the USA. I like seeing all of the spring green leaves too.

Subject: Wild Rose

While walking through a forest yesterday, I saw this wild rose.

For this photo I used cloudy white balance.

Model - Canon EOS Rebel T7i
ExposureTime - 1/100 seconds
FNumber - 6.30
ISOSpeedRatings - 2500
ExposureBiasValue - 0
FocalLength - 35 mm
Lens Model - EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

And for this one, the white balance was the same. It was sunny but some storm clouds blocked out the sun. But so far, I don't think we got any rain.

Model - Canon EOS Rebel T7i
ExposureTime - 1/60 seconds
FNumber - 9
ISOSpeedRatings - 1600
ExposureBiasValue - 0
FocalLength - 250 mm
Lens Model - EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Nice. 👍

We currently have 87 forest fires burning in Alberta, Canada.
The closest fire is about 110 miles away from us but this is what it's like in Calgary, the sun is no longer visible and the visibility is half a mile in smoke.

Oh dear. Great photo, though.
