I can't keep up with all the names I need to mention, but I hope it is enough to say...

WOW!

Absolutely incredible photos, from all of you!

If we don't all die, we should make a coffee table book!

A stitched pano (the only one I have ever done):

Japan, southwest of Beppu. Too bad I cronked the colour on it. Really should do it again, but not sure I will have time before the Earth explodes.



Or, is bigger better?

Rokkor 58/1.2 on 5D, yet again. This has always been one of my personal favourites. It makes a great computer wallpaper when sized accordingly:

Could this thread be complete without a Zenitar 16 shot?

On 5D, of course...

So many more photos that I remember, but cannot find. A couple of years back my server HD crashed and I only had a partial backup. If I wanted to restore everything, it would have meant finding all the RAW files, generating JPEGs, and then figuring out what directory structure they belonged in on the server...

Keep them coming, everyone!

Ulrik!

Of course it counts! Beautiful! I like the fact that you left the exposure alone. Many would be tempted to make it unnaturally brighter.

Please let this be the first of many photos you post in this thread, and please try to visit us here a bit more often, once things in your life settle down a bit! (that is, if we don't all die on Friday )

Contax 50mm 1.4 w Kodak Gold 200. This kid was sitting in Central Park this summer clutching a baseball in his hand tightly...as he watched people all around him play frisbee and a game of touch football. He was absolute into everything around him. He didn't have an Ipad or an iphone...just an old school baseball and the world around him. This reminds me of my youth...I miss it... Taking this photo was sort of a quick sneak affair..but it needed to be done. I ended up finding out who is father was and I sent them a photo after these were developed and scanned.

Do you like donuts with your coffee?

But, yes, I was serious about the book, too. I might talk to Fred and see if he is interested in putting the FM brand on it...

We all own the rights to these photos, right guys/gals?

hahahahaha. I have actually gotten quite the positive response on those (donut) photos by all walks of people. I have a finance guy who purchased the donut picture for his private office 30x45" Another movie producer in LA who got one at 20x30... And a woman who bought the whole series for her loft in soho. I was on a date and I asked the girl if I could shoot her naked... She said 5 DOlla as a joke... I happened to have a 5 dollar bill in my pocket so I immediately whipped it out...put it in her hand...and asked her where the nearest donut shop was... The rest is history. Delicious delicious donut history.

So sexist. Equal opportunities for pastries, I say!
