<p>Michigan this winter has been unusually warm. Ordinarily this section of water is all ice by now, yet this lone duck found a small piece of ice to stand on.</p><div></div>

<p>Too many favorites to mention, but Peter, the beignets at Cafe du Monde are to die for and should never be eaten while wearing dark clothing!!</p>

<p>Meant to add a file for my contribution this week!</p><div></div>

<p>We should start a pool and see if the hotel's wifi or photo.net is causing problems</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Obviously the problem is hotel wifi. How can photo.net possibly be at fault? :-)</p>

<p>Jens Frederiksen: love the detail. So this is a 15-image stacked focus.</p>

<p>Hi folks! I managed to capture an accidental self portrait this week... Yay. :)</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>I had a couple of lenses AI converted, hadn't tried the 135 2.8 until recently. I was surprised at how easy it was to focus, and then more surprised when I used it at f16 for a three second exposure...<br>

I cleaned a few of the major dust bunnies.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all,<br /> Happy Wednesday to all.<br /> D300 and 16-85 mm VR @ 16 mm, f/11, 1/500, ISO 400</p>

<p>After the Storm.</p><div></div>

<p>Remembering some of our heroes...</p>

<p>Hmm..</p><div></div>

<p>Good wednesday all. Finaly got enough ice up here in New Hampshire to play on.</p><div></div>

<p>Morning all, picture of a Copperhead snake for me this Wednesday.</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Simon,</p>

<p> Nice shot! You realize Copperheads give a rather nasty bite? Trust you were at the 85mm end of the lens.:-)</p>

<p>Ice pearls in Nuuksio on Sunday. We got the first proper winter days, with -13 C temperature and amazing fog. I photographed these ice formations at Haukkalampi rapids with the idea of focus stacking in mind. As I moved the camera the on focusing rail the water on ice moved about and stacking was impossible; every shot was too different from each other. So I selected a favorite single frame and a black and white rendition of it.</p><div></div>

<p>Lovely pictures today. </p>

<p>John Rowsell, your corgi photos always make me smile. Simon Jenkins, I'm assuming he was in a glass enclosure? Though that leaf makes me think otherwise? Here in Texas they love to sun themselves on hiking trails in the spring. Adds an element of danger to your normal weekend hike. One of our craziest vacation stories: we were visiting Kentucky on a grad student-led hike through a nature preserve. The guide spent much of the hike warning us to look out for copperheads, especially around decaying tree trunks. At one point he stopped to poke an old tree trunk with his walking stick, and a swarm of copperheads came slithering out. We ran. And the guide didn't poke any more tree trunks for the rest of the hike. </p>

<p>This is from a Sunday drive. All of Texas has been in a drought. Our area has not been hit as hard as other parts of Texas, but... this is the lake that supplies our water. Needless to say, we are doing our best to conserve water.</p>

<p>Always fun to to see what people have been shooting -- a couple of my favourites so far come from Martin Z and Jens Frederiksen. Grabbed my camera to capture the aftereffects of a night of freezing rain before it melted away.</p><div></div>

<p>my contribution this week is from a couple weeks back. it's the gondola at lake merritt.</p><div></div>
