POW 21 June 2009

<p>I've been consumed with post-processing work-related soccer shots and cruising end-of-elementary school parties with my kids this week. I'm also trying to get down basic procedures for loading film and executing shots on an old 4x5 press camera that a friend lent me. Quite the change, and a needed one.</p>

<p>Two worthy shots this week.</p>

<p>This is my daughter reacting to her first iPod arriving. I have a feeling that this is one of those rituals of modern life that they'll be shaking their heads over in the not-so-distant future. But she did pay for it with her own money. 'Scuse the seeming advertisement for Apple, the T-shirt refers to a dance production of Snow White that she was in.</p>

K20D, Tamron 17-50 @ 43mm, f 5.6@ 1/60, ISO 400, Metz AF 58 diffused flash</p>

<p>This was from our yard, taken this evening just before a downpour, though the skies were light enough. Kinda sorta 3D-ish.</p>

<p>ME</p>

<p>ok here is mine. I posted earlier on post I did and thought it would go great here. The only thing I have done to it is border it the pic itself is untouched. Enjoy. Shot with K20D 18-250 Lens.</p><div></div>

<p>My favs this week are Justin’s US steel, Camus’seagulls, and (ofcourse) Robert’s early spring (you know a have a taste for image-manipulation). Oh, and Gary, can I borrow your thrilling needle-on-skin idea ?</p>

<p>Morgan, your critics are a great service, thanks for the work. I feel a little bit ashamed by only posting photos and lurking otherwise on the POW now :-) Thanks Ben as well.</p>

<p>I will second the appreciation for Morgan's great critiques. I not only looked at my shot anew, but also a few of the others to see things I had missed. Thanks! And btw I love the third Ren Fair shot - punch to the groin!</p>

<p>PS Hin - GREAT squirrel photo!</p>

<p>Taken with the K2000 DA 50 - 200 @ 115mm 1/90 f6.7. No post process<br>

<p>Daaaang! The pictures are almost all great this week!</p>

<p>Well, here is my first POW. There was a Citroën 2CV meeting in a hotel in front of my house, quite interesting that all of them were yellow!<br>
