<p>Well, it's 2:09 am here in NY so I'll start off the week with three shots from New Paltz and near Kingston. Went to New Paltz to catch the last day of a photo exhibit of shots from the Hudson Valley. When I came out just before 4 the sky was doing it's Hudson Valley thing. First two shots are on and near SUNY New Paltz Campus. Third shot from my yard.<br>

<p>Received my first dSLR yesterday: the *ist DS. Thought I'd give it a run and I liked my results.<br>

Both shots indoors with one 13W CFL, hand held, no flash, with the Rikenon P 50mm f/2.<br>

<p>I love the humanity reflected in many of these shots.</p>

<p>On Friday afternoon I was off work a few hours early and decided to walk a mile down the road to check out a new “analog” photography exhibition. Much to my disappointment, the gallery was closed (I guess on Black Friday even art gallery owners go shopping). So I was about to wallow in frustration when I turned around and beheld this decaying building across the street with amazing trails of sunlight and shadow. Even better, the left turn lane was totally blocked off from traffic due to construction on a perpendicular street, so I had protection (in-between the other four lanes of downtown Seattle traffic) to stage the shooting. When time permits, this will be another project, but here is a sample.<br>

<p>Saturday afternoon my family and long-term friends (the woman introduced us 31 years ago) went on a wintry hike at a local nature preserve. We rarely run into anyone, but this time we met a gentleman, Drew, who lives near the preserve and in fact granted part of his easement for the trail. The old-style bow he built and it is covered with rattlesnake skin. The bow comes apart in two sections at the midpoint. He based his design on ancient Chinese methods, which was cool because one of our friends lived in China and is a history teacher. So there was a lot to talk about. He was target shooting for the record.<br>

<p>Some of you may have read my post last Sunday about my problems with my new (to me) Pentax K 28mm shift lens. Well I am pleased to report that I think I am on my way to getting it to work well. This is a stitch of 2 vertical shots, with maximum shift, using my K10D.</p><div>00V7z7-195709584.jpg.2a3be1da5020f354a23d5a4453f51910.jpg</div>

<p>What do you do when your back door is over 2 meters above the road?<br>

<p>Our first main snowfall has nearly gone. In fact, faint rain today, and looking like the first recorded November ever where the daily highs have all been above zero (Celsius). Everything is brown and unexciting. Will wait for the real stuff to get out shooting again. In the meantime, here are the other three from Stockholm '79.</p>
