Car windshield with farmer's field in the background?

You guys are good; that is through a windshield. Background is a brick wall illuminated by the car.
I was going to drive and get some photos like I had posted earlier, but with the way the water was collecting on my windows, I could only get pictures like this:
Which was neat, but not what I wanted.

Must have been the day for nature walks. Went for a hike through the woods myself. Didn't see any chipmunks, but I did catch a turkey...

Loving the sunstars you get with that lens. You're doing a great job using it to its potential too.

Thanks man, the sunstars definitely rock. Looking forward to some decent weather, we've been pretty soggy and chilly still this spring, so I haven't been out as much as I'd like. I'm pretty sure I'll have a chance to put it to good use when I head for Atlanta in a couple weeks. I'll also be able to put it on The Instigator's 6D, at least for a bit

Some of you may remember the wonderfully combative goose we had at work. Well, it's brood has grown up, hatched and apparently they all flew the coop over the weekend.

Absolutely! Scouted a couple of locations last trip down, although I must say I'm not overly thrilled with any of them. Jackson Street is just way overdone, as is Piedmont Park (although we're going to shoot there anyway), and 17th street. We have another location in mind, but it likely won't happen this trip. Maybe if JLK sees this, he may have more ideas for this (please!).
Great shot of the starling!
Sorry, Jackson St was the first place that came to mind. You're right that its been done to death too. Even with that, I still want to go there & shoot. I don't think that's a wide angle spot, more like the 55-250mm.
Be sure to bring a 50mm & your 100mm macro to the Botanical Gardens at Piedmont. I like the lily pond & orchid house. The mid-town skyline is pretty nice from there too. I got a few nice HDR shots from there.
Oakland Cemetery is a fun shoot & six-feet under is a great place to eat across the street.
