More Cohoes Falls
There were some breaks of sun this morning as I was heading out, and it was above freezing, so I decided to stop at Cohoes Falls and use the 70-300mm zoom lens for some winter waterfall scenics.

Backyard Deer
I walked around Peebles Island with the EOS M and 70-300mm lens the other day and the combination really doesn't work. Zooming the lens is a pain due to the tiny size of the camera body. You almost have to twist the camera body to zoom the lens.
But, the M is my only crop sensor body at the current time and the 70--300mm lens is much better for wildlife when it provides a 480mm field of view at the long end. For wildlife that's closer in and on the larger side, the 300mm field of view which the lens provides on my full frame bodies is sufficient.
Late this morning there were seven White-tailed deer hanging around in the yard and since I've packed up the EOS M for sale again, I used one of the 5D Mark III bodies with the 70-300mm lens.
Some of these are cropped, some aren't.

Accidentally Not On Purpose
I was in and out of the car at some scenic locations along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers this morning, using both the 17-40mm and 24-105mm lenses. As I was processing, I noticed that two of the images were horizontally lined up almost perfectly without that intention on my part.
I decided to give it a shot with Canon's PhotoStitch software and see how a panorama might come out. Here are the two single images, both five file HDR composites processed in Photomatix Pro and saved as TIFF files.
There is about a 20% overlap between the images which is necessary for the software to combine them. The first image was made at 75mm and the second image was made at 82mm. That's not a large difference but you can see the seam between the shots in the photo below and there is an obvious digital artifact at the shoreline due to the focal length difference. It almost looks natural if you didn't have the original shots to compare it to.
Here are some other shots from this morning.
