WOW Monty! This is one of your best!

I totally agree, great capture. Your B&W conversions keep blowing me away.

So another week has passed. Between being extremely busy at work, a long commute and having a cold for most of the week, I have not been able to post anything. I do apologize to all of you that posted all these beautiful inspiring pictures. I am trying to keep up with the thread, but at this pace just reading all of it is even hard for me to do. I don't know how all of you manage this so well.

Today it rained for most of the day so I stayed indoors and experimented with my flash (and umbrella) on the dogs. Unfortunately they are not very willing models. Every time I try to get down at their level to take some shots they see this as an invitation to come at me and try to lick my face.

Here are a few that did work for me.

Thank you Curtis, John, Peter, Leighton (I'm not a good B&W converter, feel free to try if you like), Monty, George and Jose for the kind comments on my flowers shots.

I like a lot this one Monty, but.....I think it would have been better with a longer focal lenght

Rocky is always very partecipative, have you trained him?

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/929565/2226#11124420

Great shot this one Georg!

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/929565/2226#11124430

Nice set Dean, I like the last one the most

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/929565/2227#11124682

What a wonderful collection of pictures of this bridge you have Curtis, have you ever thought to do a book and try to have it publicated?

More from Siem Reap. These from the amazing Bayon Temple which is located at the centre of the old Khmer capitol, Angkor Thom. The stone faces are massive and have wonderful expressions.

Taken with the 50/1.2 & 180/2.8

Thanks, Leighton. The towers with faces are around 30m (100ft) high !! All my wide a=nle shots taken here at Bayon were with the 24-70 which shows the scale. I've uploaded them to my photo site if your interested in looking.

Thanks Dean, and thanks for the link, some beautiful images on there. I could have spent a whole day in that one spot shooting!

I've been lurking for a long time but now feel a need to join the list.

I've been shooting Nikon since the mid 60's but unfortunately most of my old equipment was replaced long ago. I still have a few 'F' bodies that I use for paperweights.

Since looking that this thread I'm remembering how great some of the older manual lenses were, and now that I have a decent camera body that allows manual focusing, I'm back in the game.

Today I met one of your regulars, Alan (huddy), his wife and super cute son, and bought one of his lenses. Turns out he lives just up the road from me. Actually it's about 80 miles, but in Texas that's just up the road.

The enclosed shot was taken with another recent acquisition, a 35mm f/2.8 AI conversion on a D700.

Curtis - I love the perspective on the first bridge shot. I'm still amazed at the amount of steel used in this thing!

Laura - You've included a shot of my favorite candy bar.

Monty - Love the stealthy Rocky!

baumgarten0712 - Is there anyway you can add your first name to your profile so we don't have to call you baumgarten0712?

Congrats on the 24mm, I need to use mine more.

Bert - Sometimes it's even hard for me to catch up on this thread, and I'm probably the biggest blabbermouth!

Ok guys, who's going to be the first one on the thread who owns one of these!

http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290811396787&clk_rvr_id=412209524956

This looks like a lens just waiting for Curtis to buy!

Isn't there a lot of bling in CA?

Seems in Georg's neighborhood, although perhaps not his style?

Agree with Scott and Monty. Georg, super execution on this image. This one certainly is worthy of publication too.

In the last few days I've shot close to nothing personal stuff. Here's a picture taken thursday for a newspaper - for a story about roadway noise. The editors asked an actor of the local theatre to pose for this illustration. It's really great to work with actors - especially with so cool and friendly fellows like the one below. This take is a bit over the top and the paper picked another one from this short series, but it's my personal fav :-)

I LOVE THIS PICTURE

It both tells a story and makes me laugh!!!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing it!

Monty

+1 Georg. Well composed.

Kevin, you have had some super shots with the reversed 50 lately. Great magnification, lighting and clarity in those tiny subjects.

Baumgarten, is that your 1st post here? Very nice pics of the little one! Watch out, you will have fingerprints on the 24 front element very soon

The 24 is a very nice lens indeed. Mine's feeling a little neglected recently so I need to pull that out and get it to stretch its legs more.

roadway-noise, 55/1.2 Ai at f/8, 1/20sec, from a tripod

Really like this - just the right amount of blur in the cars
