Rachel loves Canon

Not that she really much of a choice when it comes to what equipment is being used.


Anyway, the wife had to go in to work today, and Rachel only goes back to school tomorrow, so with the weather taking a turn for the worse, I took the car and dropped the wife off. Afterward, by the car park, I was aware that something might be captured, so I coerced Rachel into being my model, and despite the snow, she said OK.

Within about 2 minutes she was complaining about her feet being cold, so I knew the window of opportunity would be small (and it was about 2 minutes thirty seconds!) before Rachel wanted to quit and get back in the car (when she was making a snowman before christmas, well, of course it wasn't cold then...) so I had to do what I wanted quite quickly.


I gave her my Canon umbrella and told her to walk along the path, which she gingerly did.

This is the one of four that worked best.

Eat your heart out Nikon...

    I don't find the red overwhelming at all and I like it a lot. The composition is textbook greatness to, I like the pic a lot.
    Street & Portrait because of the people. Landscape because it's pretty.
    Disappointed with AF of Tamron 28-75 2.8, me less happy.

    If this is selective color could you post the original? The composition is excellent. The red umbrella is a bit overwhelming, though. It would be a good advertisement for Canon.

    I have the original, may post it later if enough of interest, but the aim is what is shown and a second view may influence thoughts.

    I added it to the Canon "You Connect" galleries. :)

    I'm not a fan of selective coloring, BUT since I shoot Canon and Hubby shoots Nikon, by default I love this!!!

    Wonder if he'd be opposed to that hanging up at home... I'm thinking like door sized on the wall in the bedroom... hmm....

    hmmmm..... we might have to see about that one.

    Of course, Hubby shoots with a D1 and I'm a 40D, so there's a HUGE technology gap in there, too...
