Photo of the Week

Hi Ya'll, In my sadly misguided attempt to take a "Photo of the Day", I've gotten pitifully off-track. However, I'm going to try to do a Photo Of The Week so. Here goes, This was taken with my 400mm lens on my Nikon D80 from the upstairs balcony of my apartment. I was testing out my lens and was delighted at the reach. It's a little bit of a "slow" lens, which for the photographically challenged of you out there, that means that it needs more light, and slower shutter speeds and a steady hand to take good pictures. So I'm pretty happy with the result since the helicopter was obviously moving pretty fast, but my picture came out nicely. Let me know what you think. I'm always open to comments and suggestions about my work, and possibly other things to photograph. If you have a camera, any camera, go out and SHOOT! It's a beautiful weekend here in Los Angeles, and there are many events including the Lotus Festival in Echo Park this weekend. Enjoy!
