Hi again, some new picture to share. Some are from our land or the area, some around Montreal where we live the other time of the year. the first are our cabin in very early spring, evidence of moose around and in front of the cabin. One of the road this winter, it was beautiful at this time, but now I have lots of wood cleaning. The stream in early spring was just powerfull and the small bridge we built was safe thanks! One stranger in the wildlife/ nature (2th) serie : our archaeological field school at the museum. IT take so much place in my life in that period (mai-june) that I include it. Any way, even if now it's located in the old montreal, in early 17th, the site was surrounded by forest and we found lot of bears, beaver, moose, geese and turtle bones in the strat of this period.

Some new one taken this week-end, the sunset are taken on top of the mountain up the road crossing our land. This is the place to go watch the sunset in the area. The next picture are on top of the MT-Hereford close to our land. from there we can see some mountain as far as the mt-washington. The mark on the ground show the direction of Dixville,a small village close to where I take the first shot.

Thank you very much! this is a batch of different Canon SLR camera, from 30D(8Mp) to pro 1DMK3(10mp). For animal and bird shot, I usualy use fixed focal lens like the 400mm f5.6 and 300mm f2.8 IS and sometime when the animal are too close, like for the fox shot: a pro zoom, like the 70-200mm f4 IS lens. For landscape and other work, I use a standard 24-105mm f4 IS and ultrawide Tokina 11-16mm lens, like for the last 2 shots. Digital images always need post production work, like sharpening, contrast, saturation. this is inherent to the antialiasing filter in front of the digital sensor, this filter cut small detail. Yes they are all good (at least i think and hope), but they are choose from much many. The 1DMK3 can shoot 10 image/sec, so for action like the fox shot, I ended with close to hundred shot to choose from, but from the batch you can choose the right moment, like this one with the leg lift and ready to catch something (in this case my fingers).

Man, I respect you're ability and admire your work, Avan.
I fiddle around with my Nykon digital SLR, and love the economy of it in relation to the old film 35 SLR.
Your photo compositions are outstanding.
Thank you for sharing.
Here's some of mine
