Congrats on the new future Ren goer! beautiful!

Thanks! She gets that dark hair from her mommy. My babies had very little very blonde hair when they were born. lol

This might be my favorite shot of the day, from today...

Ray has some awesome birds of prey. He also has an excellent show.

Terrific shot, Jon.  Hmmm...if I didn't know better, I'd say that shot looks like it was taken with a Canon 70-200mm IS.

Thanks. Ya, the 70-200 IS is looking like it's a pretty nice lens. It gave me a few good shots today.  A touch on the heavy side but my arms aren't as sore as they were yesterday. 

I don't think we'll be at the fair on Sunday so you'll have to shoot some stuff to post for us.

Yeah, toting around big glass all day will definitely give the biceps a workout.  I'll hoist a beer in your honor tomorrow.  Hopefully, I'll bump into you again the last two weekends.

How's this for a sexy hair-do? I don't know this guys name but I got the shot on Friday while he was checking out the new look. Then Saturday I realized he was from a hat shop my kids love (home of the giant furry hats).

Absolutely breathtaking, Jon! 

[Eric of Lyon]

Very nice, Jon!  I rattled off I don't know how many shots trying to get one like this on Friday.  Never happened.

Thanks. That shot is the best of of 121 pictures I took at Ray's show. Some just didn't turn out at all. Like a bunch where I focused on the background instead of the bird. But I think that one is the best. I'll put a few more up later but they won't be as cool as this one.

Jon.

[Lord Virgil]

Jon, you would be hard pressed to top that shot.  That is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL picture, breathtaking indeed!

[gypsyqueenie]

Simply magnificent

[Jon Foster]

I really liked this guys outfit/look. The picture could have been better but hey...



Here's the caption I posted with the shot on my PBase site:

This isn't a very good shot but it was the best I could get as I tried to shoot between people passing by. This guys outfit was absolutely killer. His facial features were perfect and the first thing I thought of when I saw him in the crowd was "Black Peter!". Black Pete or Zwarte Piet in Dutch is kind of like the anti Santa of the European culture. He was the one who handed out the coal to bad kids and came onto the scene in the mid 14th century and seems to have survived into the mid 19th century. Do a Google search on him... At any rate, I searched the faire grounds for him the rest of the day but never got a good shot of him.
