Thanks Sarah,
But I guess that's what you get for almost 6 months of the year when you live in Canada. You should post some of the stuff from your DeviantArt site here, you have some nice work there.
barisaxer: Love those two B&W photos. I'm trying to get back to taking mostly B&W myself. They probably look fantastic in print!

Thank you. I've posted a few of them here.... unfortunately not all were shot with a Nikon
Valorin: It was very planned. It took me about 10-20 tries to get my timing on the ball down. Once I managed to get the timing, it was just a matter of framing it how I wanted it. I have a bunch where the ball is nice and sharp, but I wasn't happy with the way the pitcher was following through. This was the perfect combo IMHO.
DJ: Nope! I never mess around! Well, trying new things is messing around I suppose. Always experiment, you never know what you will accomplish.
Jeff, great shot of course. I don't want to be a kill joy, but let's be honest, this is a thread for photographs taken with a Nikon.
Thats clearly a sports photo and it is clearly of quaility any professional would be proud to have shot. So confess, you took it with a Canon, didn't you?
Cheeky buggers. Seems some people will do anything to post on this thread!
Great stuff folks...Amazing images! Been a little while since I added to the mix here, and I went back to my origins for a couple. I use to bulk load Ektachrome in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Most of the slides have horribly degraded ( I processed them myself). I have other better ones, but I thought one from 1970 in Spain, and one from London in 1972 would be interesting. I shot with an Argus C-3 back then...a real brick of a camera. I was all of 11 years old in the first shot, and 13 while in London. Then five more shots for good measure.
DJ, I was scared to death to even load the 100 foot roll of Ektachrome 64 into the loader...it was my first color anything, and represented about a months worth of lawn mowing/snow shoveling job money. I paid my way on both of these trips from my own little lawn care business, newspaper route, and was always plowing the money into photographic equipment. My mom was a teacher, and got these great union deals on travel...$299 got me airfare, and 8 days in a hotel on both trips...boy, do I wish rates like that were still around. Thanks for the comments....
