<p>Good morning all!</p>

<p>Picture taken on the first weekend of May, during a folk show. These guys are called "Pauliteiros de Miranda" - wich translates to "stick men of Miranda". They are called like that because it's a traditional folk dance from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_do_Douro">Miranda do Douro</a> (a city in Portugal) and they use sticks to practice fighting exercices. It's a bit like "capoeira" from Brasil, but a much older and much more traditional fight dance.<br>

D700, 50 f/1.4 AF-D (don't remember the exposure!)<br>

Can't afford a real macro lens yet. Using a Hoya +4 close-up filter on my 50mm f/1.8.

<p>One (of many) from yesterday</p><div></div>

<p>Puppy Love!</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Lil. You shot is beautiful. I love the effect the IR gives the tree on the right. It almost looks drenched in frost :-).</p>

<p>Wow, it is still before 6am and over 30 posts already! Everyone has great photos. Lighting is the key point I have to learn. Practice, Practice, Practice...<br>

My contributuion this week is a photo at the St. John Devine. One of the statue in front had insteresting theme on the base. </p><div></div>

<p>Thank you, Lil. You have also submitted a beautiful image.<br />I know how hard it is when you lose a pet; we experienced just the same 7 weeks ago, and it is only now that we have been able to tidy up the place it(he) lived. Be grateful for the nice moments you had together, and look ahead!</p>

<p>Here is my entry for this week, from town's Memorial Day Parade.<br>

<strong> Getting Ready for Next Shot...<br /> </strong><br>

<em><br /> </em></p>

<p>Good morning! So many great shots here already! Impressive bug, Jose!<br>

This tulip is in my front yard. Taken with a D300, 80-400mm VR zoom at f8, 1/250 sec, iso 200, 180 mm, handheld.<br>

Have a good day everyone!<br>

<p>All great pictures so far. I'm especially struck by Jose's monochromatic bug and Sandford's beautiful-but-disturbing sunset.</p>

<p>This is from about a week ago - Nikon F2, 200mm f/4 AIS, Kodak Portra 160 VC.</p><div></div>

<p>Sorry to hear about your loss Lil and hopefully by taking beautiful pictures like the one you posted will confort yourself a bit. Thanks for the correction, is not an "elg" is a moose... so many languages. Sanford, amazing shot!</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday!</p><div></div>

Another attempt. ISP broke down when uploading the previous post.

<p>My bird dogs found Mrs. Snapping Turtle, here, digging her nest on Monday morning. We watched while she put down about 20 eggs, and then covered it all back up with dirt and leaves, and then hiked back to the pond. Incredibly prehistoric looking creatures (and actually rather dangerous - luckily they're one of the few things my dogs actually don't ever want to mess with).</p><div></div>

<p>This image was taken August 21, 2005, but is just now on my desk top as I prepare it for final printing. The young boy was visiting his grandparents for the summer and we had taken him to the beach at Cape Henry, VA. He is gone now, replaced by an eighteen year old young man so this version of him is gaining in importance as the years spin by. I am preparing the set of pictures covering his visit for use in a photobook which will be given to him. Most of my useful images wind up in photobooks. Taken on a cloudy bright day on the beach in the late afternoon. D100 with the 28-105mm AF lens extended to 105mm; F4.5 @ 1/80 sec hand held. The lens came with my old N80.</p><div></div>
