<p><strong>Jerry S</strong>: I hope you get well soon.<br /><strong>Colin</strong>: Thank you<br /><strong>Joseph</strong>: I hope you catch the really big one...<br /><strong>Eric Arnold</strong>: Thank you. I bought the 50-150 orignially to shoot dance competitions, but I have found it to be one of my favourite walk-arounds.</p>

<p>Of the later posted images, I have seen some that stands out in my opinion:<br /><strong>Ryan</strong>: Sweet little bubble hunter<br /><strong>Richard A</strong>: Beautiful iris shot - I love those color tones<br /><strong>Susan</strong>: you have good contact with the model<br /><strong>Chris C</strong>: Beautiful and dramatic. Where is Captain Hook?<br /><strong>Matt</strong>: Beautiful shot. The model is certainly not a heron, but maybe has the same gracious legs? ;)<br /><strong>David L:</strong> Beautiful portrait. The style reminds me of the old master painters.<br /><strong>John C</strong>: Beautiful Lilly Macro.<br>

<strong>Sjoerd:</strong> Those guys have an attitude!</p>

<p>Hi all!<br>

So many interesting and fascinating photographs here again...<br>

Some of my favorites so far:<br>

- Ton, great shot! Love the contrasting scottish kilt and dutch beer :-) <br>

- Trevor, I really like your picture - sometimes less is more - very suspenseful.<br>

- Ryan, your beautifully captured „Bubble Chaser“ reminds me of my own childhood. Thanks!<br>

- Hasse & Susan & David - great portraits!<br>

- Aaron, love the „calmness“ in your picture.<br>

- Pete & Terry - I really enjoy pictures of children living in their own, adventurous world. Great!<br>

- Tiffany, a lovely portrait - and an interesting way to present it.<br>

- Lil, love the way that little chick is carefully wading through the silt. Reminds me of a picture ( http://www.photo.net/photo/9418554 ) I took 2007 in the local zoo. <br>

- Bogdan, very nice photograph! I don't see anything wrong...</p>

<p>My contribution this week was shot some weeks ago and the surrounding story was printed last weekend. I'm always fascinated how many people spend countless hours to preserve old cameras, boats or cars. This is a wonderful restored example of an east-german Trabant from 1964. It's two-stroke, two-cylinders-engine of about 600 ccm delivers 23 horsepowers. <br>

It took a while to locate a suitable background - most of the streets here are to „clean“ for my taste. I've shot car and owner with the 70-200 and the 50/1.2 wide-open (for a soft, vintage look) but prefer the slightly compressed look the zoom gave me.</p>

<p>(an alternative shot with my recently acquired Rolleiflex SL66 can be found here http://www.photo.net/photo/9418558 ...)</p>

<p>Nikon D700, AF-S 70-200/2.8 VR, ISO200, f4, 1/640sec.</p>

<p>I need to go through all the shots since my submission, there's so many! Thanks for the kind comments on "Bubble Chaser."</p>

<p>At a quick glance of the more recent posts, Terry Foster's and Georg S's are excellent. Well done!</p>

<p>My first post here in ages, trying to get the hang of digital b*w, still getting some things sorted, like why this image on export appears so much lighter overall than what I was looking at in my image editing software (PSP x2). Salient Nikonian data: D80, FX 70-210 f4-5.6 at 110mm, f11@1/60s.</p><div>00Topo-150189584.jpg.8c2543557aff582d095db5e3edd83acb.jpg</div>

I usually line up the sun, water and clouds for a nice sunset in a waterfront park in Quebec, Canada. This time I caught a mother and daughter praying - they were aware that I would be taking the image. D300, 18-70mm shot at 70mm at f13 at 1/40s with an exposure comp of -2.3 to achieve the silhouette. Thanks for the pleasure of all of the wonderful images here.</p><div>00ToqY-150197884.jpg.ed0bc210f8b6a63bddb6f9fd7e26df64.jpg</div>
