Ocean Shores, Washington

Some of you may remember the photos I posted a year ago (wow!) with seagulls taking bread out of a friend’s hand…

Well this year I was the hand model and the camera was the 5D2. I can tell you this camera is heavy enough that it’s very hard to hold up to your eye over an extended period of time with one hand while the other is outstretched with nearly frozen fingers holding a piece of bread!

If you click through to the flickr site where the image is hosted you can also view the ultra large version with all the details - and there are plenty.

Also an update for anyone wondering about the “black dot” issue - I contacted Canon support and their response was actually quite funny. It seems as though they are aware of the issue and they are “preparing a countermeasure.” In any case, I’m glad it is being worked on and I hope it’s fixed soon.
