1. Love the first one. Really grooving on the light in the second one.

2. Thanks. There was a hazy overcast today. It took a lot of tries to get

A good shot.

5. Back in the days of film I always told people to buy film by the pound.

At least a pound of film per day--it's cheaper than taking a second vacation 'cause you didn't bracket. Great shots btw..

7. Thanks. I used to develop and print back in the good old days.

I can still smell the chemicals and the light in the enlarger.

4. That 4 stop IS is great, isn't it? Like the pics too. nt

8. I set it on IS 1. When I go manual, I revert to old school to

deal with shake (shutter speed and bracing). I do like the challenge of hand held even though I have a lot of spoiled images.

6. Love the blending of green and yellows.

Such fine detail in the first pic, too.

9. That plant is sturdy enough to resist a breeze, so it was easy

to get a bead on the plant. The picture was a bit dark, but that turned out to be of little concern.

Mother nature knows how to use color.
