As mentioned, not much happening here - the whole week has been rain followed by rain followed by lots of rain. Pity as it's not yet cold enough for this to be turning into snow on our local mountains, probably they're having more luck further south where the peaks are higher but we've only got some 2,200 to 2,500m mountains locally and the temperature is still above the magic 4 degrees (just).

I did have a great wet weather project lined up but the wife reminded me of another project that was more time critical, sadly not photography related.

But I still managed to take 2 photos with the 105mm wide open. For all you Chili fans out there.

Mark, I like your chillies.

Here's a staged portrait of a young violin player - taken for a local paper. This time I've set up two speedlights - one SB800 at about 1/16 or 1/32 power in a small softbox high and left of my camera and another SB800 (bounced to the ceiling, at about 1/4 or 1/8 power) on a small lightstand behind the girl. I'd choose some colorful lockers as background because I've tried to avoid a concert-hall-look. The cut-off forearm bugs me a bit.

Ai-Nikkor 35/1.4 wide open on a D3s

Georg, good lighting here, and a warm expression on her face.
But, her left arm looks weird; like an alien arm coming up from below to hold the violin.

Yup that's it - Conowingo. Have to quit being lazy and one day head over there. Wikipedia says there's more bald eagles around now and herons in large numbers in winter months.

Ron,

Very nice shots, and great to see your wife also enjoying the tele lens. The 400 3.5 would hardly be a knife. If anything you may want to attach a TC to it to get longer reach.

Where on the Susquehanna is that? There is a dam north of Baltimore I have heard of (maybe at Gunpowder Falls?) that I hear has loads of bald eagles.

A day with one of North America's most magnificent bird the bald eagle. This is probably one of the best sites on the east coast on the Susquehanna river. I counted at least 20 juvenile eagles and twice that many adults. We felt very much out of place here as you can glean from the one picture. I counted no less than a half dozen Canon 800mm's and a ton of Nikon 600's. As I told my wife I think we brought our knife to the gun fight. First 2 shots of the crowd and my wife(50 1.2 AI) and then a couple birds. She took the almost perfect in flight shot with the 400 3.5 and like I told her I am sure I could not have done any better. The last shot was as we were leaving. We saw about 20 Lenses pointed up in a tree so I took the 50 1.2 off my camera and stuck the 300mm 4.5 on it and grabbed a shot.

Thanks Samy it is on Rte 1 at Conowingo. May try the TC-301 next time we go down there-I always seem to have better luck just cropping but I shall see how it does. Mostly just luck with MF and flying birds.

Is that your first post here? Welcome! Nice start with the D600 and the 50 1.8E.

There's several regulars here who have been trying manual nikon lenses on their new D600s.

Both the above: D800 105mmf2.5 on bellows 1/250s iso800.
Incorrect EXIF due bellows cannot be recorded as non-CPU lens.

Wife and I are going to a big Autumn Glory Parade today, and I thought before we leave I'd put up a few I shot this week. Both with the D200 and the AI 50 1.8.

Just a little more color:

Practicing with the 50 1.2 AI on the way home yesterday. Interesting town that really decorates for Halloween. Kennett Sq Pa. Self portrait and other stuff. One for the bike people that was in a display window. Tea pots from Mrs Robinison's Tea Shop and Marilyn

Things are finally catching up with my 96 year old Uncle. Up until a few months ago his mind was 100%. He could quote sock prices, football game scores, names and places without fail. That is rapidly changing. Suddenly his short term memory is gone, his understanding is going and his vision is very poor. He can no longer sort out his bills.

Nancy has been going to EverGreen Care Center. She writes out the checks and UC (Uncle Cork) signs them. (I'm the POA, but it hasn't gotten to that point yet)

In this picture, I am sitting in the hall, looking into UC's room. Nancy is writing out a check and UC is overseeing it On the left you can see out of focus pictures of the past....

Awwwwwww Monty, this one really tugs at my heart strings. I hope they are at least going to see if there's a physical cause to the sudden rapid degeneration.

This farm was recently made into a park. There are trails mowed through the fallow fields, and benches every so often. However, the main barn, occasional fence posts, and barbed wire still remain.
