POW - 2/8/09

<p>And another.<img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1370/3264532949_164497ed7f_o.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="1204" /></p>

<p>Dave. Did you shoot that duck with the dragon? I'm glad you've picked up the slack.. ever since Javier got into street shooting, there's nary a duck to be seen.<br>

Nick.. that pumpkin is pretty cool... I like your other two shots as well, even with the cut and paste :-) I agree with you about the young lady.. she hardly ever takes a bad photo.</p>

 

<p>We've had a real dry and lovely week here. Even a few faint hints of spring. And more daylight!<br>

Back to a few sunrise shots of interest as well, helps me avoid reading the depressing newspapers during the commute.<br>

<p>ME</p>

<p>Ok, here's mine... taken with an old 55mm f1.8 mamiya - $10. (Yes, there's LBA, and then there's cheap LBA)</p><div></div>

<p>another...</p><div></div>

<p>And, while I'm tired of snow pictures - there's not much else out there yet... </p>

<p>Please still be gentle! LoL<br>

<p>Yvon, I really liked that first one, it looks like the world is about to be swallowed up by the fog. Very nice!</p>

<p>Some interesting shots this week. And I'm going to cheat a bit. Seems to me that Sundays are the only days I get out shooting this winter. And the subjects seem same. More ice racing.

<p>And of course the obligatory Mini pic. He had a different view of the world for a few minutes. Push some serious wrinkles in the roof, broke out all the windows (good thing they are lexan) except one and filled the car with snow. Had a huge smile and said it was more fun than racing the car. <a title="IMGP8416 by Fnawzm, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3514/3268327166_4842df1a12_o.jpg" alt="IMGP8416" width="800" height="533" /></a></p>

<p>My first time posting as well. Here is more snow!</p><div></div>

<p>One more....</p><div></div>

<p>Angela, I like the abandoned truck picture more - beautiful scenery and lighting. (But I'm really sick of snow.)<br>

Louisa, I like the farm picture more than the dogs (who seem happy enough)... (We really must get you a cat) - the farm picture captures the feeling of abandonment, between all the rust on the roof, and the empty field. The grey of the sky threatens, adding further to the desolation there... If only we could paint in a few high rises among the trees on the horizon - and lighten things up a bit :D ( for a whole new perspective on country living).</p>
