Tough day for Higgs today. First trip to the vet. Poked, prodded, temp taken, and a shot.

He and Rocky actually together today. Good hard play that lasted 5-10 minutes. Maybe they will get along!

Monty


Well done, Monty

Kevin, Those spider shots creep me out as much as cat photos do
But I like the technique

Quick drive up Route 66 on Saturday. I don't know about you, but the B&W looks so much better to me.




really ? I like the colour - in fact I'd have amped up the colour a bit . The shot reminds me of those those brightly coloured posters from the 50s - and with a bit more saturation it'd really look like it was of the era.

Hi All,
Just back from Sweden and trying very hard to catch up with the amazing images added (and the amazing number of pages) since I left. Needless to say some great work, from memories of being allowed to watch the first ever space shuttle launch (and a few days later the landing) on TV thanks to Samy to the great Bokeh shots from Ray and everything in between.

I'm afraid that I have several hundred pics (757 to be exact) from this trip taken with the 28mm, 50mm and the 105mm. I'll try not to bore you all with them and limit myself to only a few from each lens.

But to start with some that I know will go down well. Bikes (some even in B&W). And a pretty lady. And she's offering me food. The first 2 are the 50mm and the last 2 are the 28mm.

Lastly when I got back there was a parcel being delivered by the postman. A big thanks to Matt for such excellent service! That's slots 7 & 8 now filled. What to get for the lucky last?
Great shot Mark

Mark - Welcome home! Don't worry with boring us, can't be done. I know, I've tried. Love the shot of the girl with the flat bread, I bet it was delicious!


You better believe it was good. If you ever get the chance, Elk is delicious!

I've had Elk burger, and it was delicious!

Thanks Philip, Reagan, Ray and Ben,

Ben, I added the vignette in post. I probably do it to often, but I like it.

well, I don't know who Jean d' Ormesson is, but I like the shot!

EDIT: I just googled him and you're right!

50mm f1.2 of course ...

Mark, I love all of the images. But that last one! FABULOUS!
It says so much. Cold, happy, working, hot food. IT all ties together for a first rate picture.
(I wish I had taken it )

no I like it too.....I think it makes that shot - that's why I asked whether you did it or it was just a happy accident.

ben

been a bit too busy lately, and had to do some (ugh) video rather than photos this past weekend. so only snapping a few around the house, sorry to bore with more of the same - my usual semi-willing models. All 35/1.4 AIS

I didn't realize it was 1/20 until you mentioned it. I usually never shoot below 1/60 because I'm shaky
That's why I gave up on the 180
I guess the meds were working this morning


Reagan

Yes, handheld

Eric, love the lighting in the first two. Get as many as you can now, because if they're anything like my two girls it'll get harder and harder.

Leighton,

You are a wise man.
