POW 8/23/08

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Work and other projests have kept me pretty busy lately. I got

this from 10th Ave, near the Lincoln Tunnel in NYC yeasterday, and since I'm still up... I guess I get to start the

thread.

OK, internet at sea is a little rough. Let me see if I can get the picture uploaded this time...<div></div>

Looks pretty deserted for NY.. speaking of which, I spent the last 3 weeks on the East coast between Jacksonville, NY (Manhattan), and Hunt Valley (Baltimore). I'll start with a Central Park photo at sunset..<div></div>

Baltimore, the inner harbor area<div></div>

A night shot of almost the same view<div></div>

Hmm.. some of these borders are looking pretty funky :-)<div></div>

Sean the internet @ sea seems to be working ok. The cab really pops in the city scape.

 

Haig, love the night shot. The couple playing music is a well framed moment.

 

Here are three from me. Back to BW this week...<div></div>

And another...<div></div>

And the last....<div></div>

Living in the land of milk and chocolate I managed to get some bad one last week and had a full dosis of

Montezuma's revenche. The photo of the raver after the Zurich streetparade reflects my condition somehow :-)

Please excuse that my contributions are just a little over the time limit.<div></div>

from the land of milk and chocolate<div></div>

hopping again<div></div>

Another great start! Haig, I love the night shot. Markus, the hopper is so clear. I always have a problem with DoF when I shoot macro, that

one is perfect. Yesterday, I went on my first photowalk. It was part of the Kelby thing and we walked around old city, Philadelphia. It was a

very pleasant affair; I met some good people. Here are three from yesterday.<div></div>

and..<div></div>

finally<div></div>

I'm going to hit & run--we're hosting the annual crab feast (should be a good photo op) Here are some I took on campus with the Sigma 105mm.

 

(Interesting lampost, Robert!)<div></div>

mesh<div></div>

Great start to a Sunday Morning folks! <p> Sean - like the composition and perspective... My eyes ard drawn into

the picture. <p> Haig - Including the fence in shot #2 IMHO, adds a whole nother layer of interest in the shot - Well

done! <p> Duane - Your directions shot brought a smile to my face... but which way to the beach? ;) <p>Markus -

your "postcard" pic is so well detailed, it looks textured. Great capture. <p> Robert - The lampost is totally

awesome. Your PP makes the photo look like it was shot 100 years ago. <p> Dave - your "grate" shot is "great"!. I'd

put it on my office wall in a heartbeat! Hey, Fedx some of thos crabs over in a care package (should there be any

left), ok?<p> Well, my contributions this week are wide and varied... got lucky I guess! <p>I came upon this

yesterday... 96 degrees Farenheit at 1:00 pm.

These are the last shots from my recent vacation, I promise.

 

A little bit different wildlife shots.

 

This poor guy appears to be waiting for a toilet that is out of order.<div></div>

These guys were not camera shy and walked a bit down the road with us.

 

They seemed to always stop in a formation similar to this, probably to cover each others back.<div></div>

Caught this guy trying to scratch his head.<div></div>

Some spawning cutthroat trout atinlet to Trout Lake.<div></div>

Hi and thanks to all for sharing your pictures. I have been at home most of the week, and in terms of photography

did nothing but got my Scanner running again. Now I'm working through heaps of slides. Not sure if these are

technically valid for a "this week" thread as they were taken several yaers ago, but at least they were scanned

this week: The first short was taken from Wendelstein mountain in the Bavarian Alps, immediately after a storm.<div></div>

and the second in springtime in southwestern Germany, in a very cold period late that year, when fruit farmers

protected the corps with a layer of ice. Both images taken with my MZ5N.<div></div>
