Cojones

Cosmith, cobrown, cojones!  JFC the 'piscopalians have no shame, check the cojones on "African Dog".  This is now burned in my cortex for sticky client service situations.  Screw that real lace stuff, just blame it on the ascendancy.  Some balls they got — must think they are Mattel and have a mandate for anatomically correct. Ken and Barbie rock, so does "African Dog"! Hah!

Same approach and recipe as below for a gargoyle snap.  Never know what a long lens will reveal.  Anyway what does an "African Dog" have to do the the US National Cathedral?  BTW, "African Dog" can be found on the North Nave.

That is it for the WNC, assuming the tornado warnings are just that, off to Denver in the AM.

Outside, inside

Washington National Cathedral, Outside: "Master Carver" gargoyle, North Nave, Inside: State Flags, South Nave.

Both two shot HDR sandwich, third was too slow and shaky.  Flag snap with 5D Mk II, 35mm f/1.4L @ f/2.0 and ISO 800, gargoyle with 7D, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L, ISO 100, f/8.0, 380mm (equivalent FF 608mm)

Interesting, passed 10,000 snaps on the 7D (acquired September 2010) and 40,000 (acquired May 2009) on the 5D Mk II yesterday.  Aperture library since October 2003 is now over 120,000 snaps.

WNC Gargoyle

North Nave, behind facade — Lawyer.  Need to reshoot the gargoyles with the the 7D and the 100-400.

5D Mk II, 70-200 2.8L with 1.4 extender @ 280mm and f4.0.  Three shot handheld bracket, HDR Efex.
