<p>Dave, I believe a photo.net gremlin fixed those links ;-)</p>

<p>Not much action from me this week. I did do some portraits for a friend of mine, poetry scholar <a href="http://www.ramblebarrow.com/?p=146">Anna Deeny</a> , as she had been interviewed for a poetry podcast at Harvard. I took some strobes and reflectors with me, but ended up just using natural light from the two windows in her office. K10D + 77 Ltd, if anyone's interested.</p>

<p>Wow! There's some excelent images this week. </p>

<p>Spring has come again to the land in which I live, and along comes the flowers. This first image is a very special image to me; it is of the road that I grew up on. By next year this time there will be condos gracing the sides of this road that will then be a five lane highway. This road cuts through about 150 acres of forest that has been there since about 1930. It was logged for pines about 30 years ago, and then logged for oaks about 15 years ago. Besides all this it has somehow kept its beauty throughout the years.<br>

<p>I have no idea what flowers these are but they looked pretty to me, so I shot them.</p>

<p>I tried using the same technique on this image that I use on Velvia. There's nothing quite like the sunny 16 rule!<br>

<p>Jon, sad to hear the impending fate of your dogwood-lined road (the things we mistake for progress....): that's a haunting photo and an interesting flower!<br>

Your tulip is marvelous, John! </p>

[snik75]

<p>I have lots of shots of his flower, the first to come up here. I believe this is the best, so far anyway. With a Vivitar 55mm macro.</p><div></div>

<p>Dave, that 'Howard street bridge' is a real beauty !</p>

<p>I just got back from Egypt, it was very hot and totally bizar....<br>

shot some 2000 clicks, so please bear with me :)<br>

This is an old trick, but it never bores.</p>

<p>As a matter of fact, dorus, it struck me that the bridge shot had an "oshiva-esque" feel to it so I'm really glad you liked it. Old trick, yes--but done spendidly, btw.</p>

[bob-c]

<p>Please forgive the fourth posting - one more for <b>Dave</b> and <b>Bob. </b>Shot yesterday on the Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia.</p><div></div>

[arkadiy_chernov]

<p>Good pix robert...I like specially the first one. The tree is creepy!!!! =)</p>

[bobbuck19]

<p>Brought my camera to work this month, of course the scads of eagles I saw last month are gone now, but snapping away anyhow.</p><div></div>

<p>You're forgiven as far as I'm concerned Robert--that is gorgeous! As a matter of fact, I was out on a Baltimore stream this Saturday, fishing with a bunch of city kids in a Trout Unlimited sponsored event. The woods & stream were stunningly beautiful. Unfortunately, I had to leave the camera behind but your shot makes up for that. </p>

<p>A mixed bag this week! One shot of Osprey in Pendleton, my daughter's front door in Hillsboro, and another at Multnomah Falls on the way home. All with the K10D and F 28, f2.8.</p><div></div>
