Your favourite FD photos for the month of May...

<p>and this was taken with the F-1. Amtrak's Piedmont hit a track hoe at grade right in downtown Mebane NC. Everyone survived. The locomotive was toast the grade crossing was closed for a week.<br>

This photo is of the firefighters doing their job, unlike the very unpleasant one out of frame who was quite obnoxious.</p><div></div>

<p>Wonderful stuff all! I have some to contribute, but the roll is being developed as we speak so watch this space.<br>

Igor - what lens did you use for My Friend?</p>

<p><strong>Igor</strong>, that pic of your daughter is one of the nicest child portraits I've seen in a long while. Bravo! Overall, this month has produced some great pictures; it really is a very worthwhile thread.</p>

<p>Rick thanks, I like yours and the other guys' photos too.</p>

<p>Here are some more photos taken the last weekend in May. I didn't get a chance to develop them until this past weekend. I took them at our MG Car Club event called a Funkhana. It is just a friendly competition. There are no prizes awarded, but everyone had a fun day out.</p>

<p>I used my F1n, FDn 80-200 f4 L, and Ultrafine Plus 400.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice grill shot, Stu. Very snappy<br>

Rick- Love the depth of your Cobblestones shot. Yes, a very worthwhile thread.<br>

Mike- Good composition on the Two Leaves picture and the Single Leaf shot works very well even though placed dead center. Nice work.<br>

Antonio- Welcome! Stunning color on your entries. Hope you'll post more next month.<br>

Capital Q- Fetching models and poses. I like the high contrast treatment.<br>

Ed- The lone fireman in the foreground lends good balance to that shot. Thanks for chipping in some pics.<br>

Igor- Just delightful portraits of those two beautiful young ladies<br>

Mark- A peaceful feeling hits me when I look at that image. So serene.</p>
