Really nice shots Merv.they really look great! Still waiting on my new camera to come in to.

Thanks VB and Aaron, waiting for that new camera is like waiting for Christmas to open your presents it seems to long

 

[Shinpachi]

Any cameras have no way but obey your excellent skills Merv and Aaron

 

[GrauGeist]

Excellent shots, especially the first two...wow! Way to go!

Regarding the earlier conversation: I know that whole area has changed beyond belief, Grand Terrace used to be fairly natural, with the boulders strewn here and there, much like your photo. Even out along the base out the San Gabriel/San Bernardino range (above Highland Ave.) there were quite a few boulders like that (and the ancient Indian ruins were SO cool to check out)...and of course, all that's long gone...

Lovely shots Merv!

 

[Wurger]

With all here.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You're welcome Merv, and the camera showed up today. Charging the battery as I type this. I will get on Amazon and Alibris and see if I can't find a Ben Long book for it. The controls are all in different locations. It's going to take some getting use to.

 

[Shinpachi]

Congrats, Aaron!

I believe your new camera is one of the happiest ones in the world

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Once again Merv, some really good shots of exhibition quality and I think your study shots are outstanding, they capture the imagination.

Thanks Vic greatly appreciated. Aaron I can't wait to see some shots from your new camera, I know it will take some getting use to from the XSi, I bought a couple of books on how to use my Canon 70D and I'm still learning.

This shot I took the other day of some more geraniums in my garden.

[Vic Balshaw]

That's a lovely coloured geranium, a sort of cross between the pink and red but not quite coral. Just love it.

Thanks Vic, Shinpachi and Wurger I'm glad you all like the geranium they can be a beautiful flower.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I need to find a good small telephoto lens. My 18-55 will not work on the 6D.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful!

 

[Wayne Little]

Top shot Merv!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice shot Merv!

 

[ontos]

Thank you Aaron, VB, Wayne and Hugh. Aaron, It's to bad Canon didn't make the full frame like the cropped sensor to take all lenses, the full frame will only take the EF lenses. I'm not to familiar with the EF lenses I do have a couple, the EF 24-105 is a pretty popular lens a lot of people use for a walk around. I was thinking of getting one but I ordered a new tripod instead, maybe Santa will get me one for Christmas

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I know exactly what you're talking about Merv. I can't use my 18/55 on my 6D because it's a EFS.
