Wanda My Wood Nymph 05_15_07.jpg

This evening we went for a little drive up a nearby canyon for a little walk and photography. It was such a nice day. As we sat and shot photos you could hear, more like feel the sound is so low, a ruffed grouse drumming on a log somewhere just into the forest.

Here is another shot br>

Light was fading and I was shooting with the camera hand held. I was at 200mm and my shutter speed at 800 ISO was down to 1/160 second. So really a lower ISO it would be tough to get a sharp handheld photo.

Now the good part. Images from the Canon 5D at 800 ISO are pretty darn noise free. Even 1600 ISO isn't too bad.

Mr. Bates
Why did you dicide to go with an ISO of 800?
Doesn't it make your prints noisy?

Thanks for your time

Okay- these are some of my favorite all time Wanda shots. There is a very sincere and whole some look here. It is very genuine ! While I said many times.."how beautiful Wanda is". these pics only add substance to those like me that appreciate
Bill's talents in photography . Having an always beautiful Wanda always helps too!

I don't know what The PAD of Wanda Gallery still isn't in the most popular gallery. Maybe it just hasn't been getting enough votes to keep it there.

Oh well it was fun while it lasted. At least we're still getting about ten thousand page views a day. We're now well over 15 million page views total!

Actually Brandy, I think your mom looks more pensive than sad. As always, a great picture.
