Hey Now! I be lovin them snowbirds

Nice shots Reagan. It feels different(in good way) compared to your previous camera shots.

Tourists are everywhere, you just don't always realize they are tourists.

Of course the summer heat and humidity doesn't bother me but Curtis thought it was really humid last October

Now Laura, Ohio drivers are not great either - I almost got run over twice after leaving Dayton airport!

Ohio
Don't they call that the "Blindeye State"

Nice shots Reagan!

Thanks All, It feels good to be able to participate again

I like the pelicans Reagan!

I went to a golf tournament about 300km from here and then added another 380km to fetch my tripod from the farm we visited late last year. Boy was it hot...39*C (102F) and at one stage my car thermometer showed 44C which is seriously hot.

Just to help you guys at least feel warm - a 9 shot pano of Eastern Cape veld.

Reagan, love the Pelican-shots! Especially the first one - nice crowd! Congrats to your D600.

Samy, nice snow-shot and very nice portrait of your "Stubentiger" (rough translation: Parlor tiger).
The 55/3.5 rocks, my worn copy is the best bang for the buck MF-Nikkor in my collection.

Ray, lovely shot of your "hood". 61 degrees - have to use a converter for those Fahrenheit-stuff - hmm, makes 16°C, makes me dream of the spring.

Americo, the tower is nicely captured!

Peter, very nice pano! Are these 9 vertical shots in a row or another "layout" of the single exposures?

Beautiful shot Peter, looks like the American SW.

Such a nice shot Peter. I love the sky!

Yes,Beautiful sky. Looks like a one way rd to nowhere

Since it's so gold outside, I decided to have a cold one! 55mm f2.8.

You mean there are no bikini clad hotties in the frame?

In that case, take back what I said.

Thanks for the comments on the tilted photogs-image! Sorry about the CxxxN-strap;-)

Leighton, lately I shoot most of my assignments as RAW. Exceptions are most team-sports like soccer and handball. Boxing is JPG-terrain too. Large portrait-series and similar high volume-shootings in controlled lighting with minimal shot-to-shot changes are candidates for JPGs too.
Some of my best shots from the past are done as a JPG (medium size and normal compression to save harddrive-space). Now I could kick myself in the back for doing so

Leighton, cool shot, love the play with the background-color!
