<p>Happy Wednsday and the start of the last month of this year. Where did the time go? My photo today is the of the Dodge Park wetlands with the Fall colors. Nikon D300 & Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.</p><div></div>

<p>My nephew enjoying soup in a restaurant. It was very dark, and what little light there was was a mixture of weird colors. Black and white seemed the best solution.</p>

<p>This feels a bit of a cheat, but all I have along the Thanksgiving theme.</p><div></div>

Catches win matches – here the wicket keeper, bowler and batsman all look on as the fieldsman attempts to take the catch. It's the moment when everyone is watching you. It seems like hours but it's all over in a matter of seconds.</p>

<p>Camera: Nikon D300<br>

Lens: AF-S VR II Zoom-Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8G IF-ED + TC-20E III<br>

Settings: 380 mm, 1/500 sec, f/5.6 and ISO 200 (AP, monopod, UV filter)</p><div></div>

<p>SMU vs ECU game played last Friday.SMU won in overtime 45-38</p><div></div>

<p>The 105/2.5 Ai was the first lens I purchased in 1979 but it soon got neglected and zooms took its place in my bag. Nowadays, I have a better appreciation for this lens and am glad I hung onto it. I had trouble focusing it on a D200 and D300 and blamed the viewfinder - until it turned out that I needed progressive glasses to overcome the onset of presbyopia. Didn't have the chance to shoot some portraits, for which this lens now has become a favorite (again) but couldn't resits taking it around the block for a spin nonetheless.</p><div></div>

<p>I had the honor of photographing this year's area Sturge-Weber Foundation Turkey Bowl (pictured here is the winning team and the host and my friend, in the bright orange, holding the banner) on Thanksgiving Day. A very sizable amount of money was donated for the cause including 100% of my profits from photoing families and friends and printing them right there, at the function. It was a blast~ a great live alternative rock band, an open bar, fire pits, entertainment for children (balloon artist, bounce house, paper origami crafts table and a clown) and of course football~ you know the place was rocking when the cops showed up at 10:30am to tell the band to turn it down (funny thing is, is that the host is a state cop, so were a good portion of the guests, so needless to say, the band continued to crank it). We had a blast, I busted my hump and we raised great funds and awareness for the Sturge-Weber Foundation. A very good and eventful day, all around.

<p>Hi everyone, and hope you had a great week with plenty to be thankful for.<br>

Tried something a bit different for me this past week - no bugs, no drops and no dew. <br>

Went to the zoo to try and capture the eyes of some of some of the animals. <br>

Hope you enjoy ---</p><div></div>

<p>Fellow Nikonians,<br>

My pic, this week, is a pink rose, dedicated to the few women photographers of this forum, to stimulate their participation. It was taken in a very rainy day, at the garden of the Casa da Insua, a beatifull manor house at Penalva do Castelo, Viseu, Portugal, adapted for tourism. I hope you enjoy it.<br>

Have a good photo week !</p><div></div>
