I said cars have eyes, the Citroen DS has cross-eyes.
The inner headlamps steer with the wheels.
An innovation years ahead of its time, taken today in adaptive beam shaping lights.
Ok here's a new one, taken today, especially for the project and spreading my wings a little with my 70-200, although, not exactly wild life Paul lol...
the eye of a needle
Only a snapshot with the LZ5, no DSLRs were hurt taking this
I spotted a small dapple of light, and interrupted Mike.
"Up a bit, right, a bit, left a bit, down a little."
Finally I got his head in the right place to put the highlight on his eyes.
But did it work?
Alison?
If you'd been there you could have told me on the spot.
That's actually very good Paul. Were you having a discussion about me while you were taking this shot? I can hear you now, "If Ali were here..." LOL. Bless ya!
The catchlights and clarity in the eyes are superb!
Am I correct in assuming you weren't using your 50mm?
This one isn't exactly new but, well here it is anyway...
Canon EOS 350D Canon EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM
Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG
Canon 50mm f/1.8 II
Canon Speedlight 430EX

It stayed in my bag the whole day (guilty look).
I had the 10-22 on the 20D for wide angle, 24-70 on the 1DSII, 100-400 on the 1DIIN, and the Panasonic in my pocket.
With all those DSLRs, I picked up the Panasonic for this !

I found a cat in my shed, so, I couldn't resist taking a picture of it and having some fun with some selective colouring in photoshop.
And before anyone asks...it was taken with my 350D and my 17-40mm F/4 L lens, (before I got my 40D).
I nearly forgot to add an image to project this month. Here are a pair of Texas eyes that won my heart this month. Meet Josh on his first birthday.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
Nikon Samurai #13
"A photographer is known by what he shows not by what he throws. The best photographers have the biggest trash cans." Quote from Nikon School sometime in the early 1970's.
Couldn't resist this one.
Oh all right, these two.
Thought I'd add the full image, so you can see where the feather came from
Oh Alison, this was taken with the 580EXII flash.
I used a Lastolite Apollo XL softbox on the flash to diffuse the light, I think it worked on the black kitten?
The softbox makes the camera/flash unwieldy, but since it's bigger than the kitten it's good for shadows.
I use Warehouse Express online, good prices and fast delivery.
Ordered Tuesday 11pm, arrived Friday before 9am.
The velcro they supply has appallingly unsticky adhesive, I replaced it with decent stuff.
In the end I'm going to use velcro adjustable straps (must buy more) because it tends to sag.
Find for closeups of the cats, but not so good for other uses like portraits I guess.
