Considering probably 90% escape immediate predation or being impaled on hooks, that's quite a kind deed by you to provide the opportunity for freedom, no matter how short lived.
Back on Canada Day, hours prior to heading out for the fireworks, I made a quick trip to downtown Hamilton to catch the EURO 2012 victory celebration. The hope was Italy would win and as a result, possibly thousands from the local Italian community would congregate for a spontaneous street party celebration. But it quickly became obvious Spain would win, and as a result 'only' a few hundred came to celebrate. It was fun nonetheless.
I posted images on my blog and here's a link to the full gallery. Below are some with the 1DIV and 70-200 f/4L IS. I also shot with the M9 and 21/28/50 lenses, and comprise the bulk of the final edit as seen in the gallery. I find it's a pretty good combo. The 1DIV and zoom give me the reach and subject isolation when I need it, along with fast AF and high fps. The Leica is fairly small, as are the lenses, and more discreet for close range work, though I wish it had a deeper buffer (7 frames) and fast card write speed and frame to frame speed. Maybe the M10.

Love that last shot Stan. Great motion and reflection in the window.
Peter - I see you've even upped your game with the terns - nice!
Ron - the colors and life in those last pics are amazing.
Instead of thinking about your wedding, fascinate yourselves with my fabulous Canon camera gear!

Oh, and as Peter might say, all natural light.

so, true, years from now when they look back, the one real thing they will take from that day was all of the time they got to spend with your canon gear and looking it, that's why Canon is called the memory maker, you make memories about Canon equipment

Thank you for being so perceptive about the true meaning of photography. There's a reason everyone used to use the phrase "Kodak moment". In the new era, all will learn to treasure the "Canon Keepsake".

I find it has particularly magical properties at 168 mm, especially when cropped slightly to the equivalent of 179 mm. The drawing style is just so Zeitzaleissian...

Summer's bounty, near ready for the table!
Canon G12, my lady behind the viewfinder, both of us shooters...but she the chef and she can cook!
Poolside, mid-afternoon natural SoCal sunlight, handheld...strawberries consumed on the spot, as picked, no pics

Peter, old school rules
My lady, Linda, started shooting long ago, first with 8x10 and 4x5 box cameras, still have her OM1 n 2 35mm gear she took to the Swiss Alps. Just picked up the G12 from an FMer to replace our old A95 with it's purple LCD; Linda took the A95 to Europe; France a few yrs back, got some great images; vacation type, with it's 5MPs, great memories...it's the imagination, the eye that makes an image!

Tried finding an abstract within a pile of dried palm frowns...the simple colors a chaos caught my eye.
40D gripped, 100 f2.8 non-L macro, handheld, late afternoon light.
