<p>I got a new wireless capable flash this week and have been playing with that. The best shots have been using a play tent and my son for a subject. Not up to Dorus's photos last week but I am slowly learning.<br>

On this one the flash is inside the tent and Tyce is outside waiting for it to flash.</p><div>00SpjP-118504284.jpg.a249324a5db7ac8a558d0c8dd31082bb.jpg</div>

<p>Nice stuff so far everyone! Maria: I like the abstract 3rd shot... I just do. <br>

Chune: your first shot just pops, nicely done! And for your 3rd "flaming" shots, what mode and settings did you use? It came out really well. <br>

Scot: that is amazing at ISO 3200!<br>

Rorbert: your old leaf is a winner... is it the same one from couple of months ago? I've always liked that shot.<br>

Beerbrain: your shots of TN are as usual weird and fascinating. You're shaping my image of TN just like the way Javier does of LA!<br>

Mis: your first shot looks like it should be in LIFE magazine... nice old skool feel to it.<br>

My 2 shots are as follows: The first one is from a bowling meet which I ended up focusing more of actually bowling and so didn't really mess with my camera... I took a few shots and this is only one I liked. I shot in RAW and then up'd the color saturation and warmed the white balance (yay for RAW):<br>

The 2nd shot was just after I got back from work and the even sun was hitting our tree that was starting to bloom. I slapped on my smc takumar 55 and I think I shot this at f/2. <br>

Again shot in RAW and slight boost in color and saturation.</p>

<p>Sorry there's bad news at work, Bob! I like that last butterfly (and Maria's Coke sign, Ben's snake, Rhodes Soccer, Peter's Eagle(!), "Flaming at Dusk", Scot's wedding shot, Ronny's Cave City lights, M.E. twigs, & Mis & Markus in Zurich (what fun!)<br>

Maybe it's a sign of the times or the change of the seasons but I'm seeing a number of folks exploring new styles & subjects. Here's one that's pretty typical for me (taken with that Sigma 24mm I'm so fond of) followed by a couple which are more experimental.</p><div>00SplR-118517584.thumb.jpg.f1e7a5e5b2ed9e823314b2a06c054f64.jpg</div>

<p>I had some time at work yesterday, managed to take a picture of our resident Great Horned Owl. He (she) lives in a dark steel grid inside a high voltage switchyard, and usually hoots at everyone coming in to work in the morning. They even have a nest there.<br>

I used my old Sigma 400mm, non APO, at f5.6 and my K10D with a tripot for this capture.<br>

My next photo of the stack (650 feet high), was with my new SMC M 400 f4.0, standing at the base, handheld.<br>

Finally, on the way home, a double rainbow taken with my new SMC F 28 f2.8.</p><div>00Sple-118517884.jpg.a848e75d6eaf0dfc27d218b43ab639ec.jpg</div>

<p>ditto what Robert just said. just about word for word (especially to Dave. I like it, but don't know why).<br>

Hin's sunset is making me go "wow".<br>

The owl is cool, and I love the story. I wish we'd been able to get a shot of the Great Horned owl that sat on Matt's back for a little bit several years back, but we were 1) a lot busy trying to get it out of the street and 2) had no cameras on hand.<br>

Markus - the pasta cook is cracking me up<br>

Mis - love the airport. It does have that Life mag feel<br>

Ronny - I like the cabin. Screams for sepia to me, but I love abandoned houses.<br>

Robert - your leaves look like they are on stage. Where's tht light coming from?</p>
