<p>Ok folks now for the unveiling of the most annoying post yet</p><div></div>

[jdemoss99]

<p>ok folks it to 5 hours about to get this posted so PLEEEEASE someone show me some love</p>

[shots worth sharing]

<p>Well, a bumpy start from a technical point of view but nice photos. </p>

<p>I like Howard's #3, Kubota 4, Graveyard flight Garry's Boracay Gal, Robert's fisherman (I think maybe the moon is too centered in the composite shot?) and Bear-Bear.</p>

<p>Between seriously crummy weather and commitments (like unpacking my new lens), I hardly shot at all last week so I'll only post one and actually it's the same on I posted in M.E.'s Autumn Colors thread. It's kind of grown on me. I took it in the extended dusk of a gloomy day with the Sigma 24mm f2.8 (EV +0.7, f3.5, ISO 1000 1/40s.)</p>

<p>I generally don't like a 2:3 aspect ratio in portrait orientation but after trying several options, I decided that no crop was the best crop.</p>

<p>Michael E.'s Kubota 4 knocked my socks off, and it's not even B&W! :-) I bet it would look really nice hanging on the wall as a 12x18.</p>

<p>Camus's "War Memorial steps" rocks. Classic street stuff.</p>

<p>Robert C.'s fisherman is a perfect Autumn photograph, I love it.</p>

<p>Gary, great portrait there. And nice to see you stick around :-)</p>

<p>I really like Kubota 4. Fantastic shot Michael.</p><div></div>

<p>Wonderful stuff this week. Makes me realise my learning curve is going to be very steep.<br>

Howard: You're using that Tam 90 like a paint brush.<br>

Michael, Bob, Robert, Dave all excel in capturing the season.<br>

Camus: What can I say? Classic mature B&W.<br>

Hin: Bear Bear is beautiful and the flash brings this out so gently.<br>

In contrast, if I can upload, here is our new family member, Tessa, taken in low level natural light. K20D & Tam 90.</p>

<p>Pure glamour, Tony!</p>

<p>Garry: The portrait is suburb. What a lesson! It looks like it must have been hand-held. Was it?</p>

<p>My stepson and I went camping last weekend. Here are some shots from our base camp at 7,603 ft elevation. The location is the Big Bear Lake area in Southern California.<br /><br />Many great pictures this week. I especially like Graveyard Flight and Rowing to the full moon.</p><div></div>

<p>2nd,</p><div></div>

[yvon_bourque1]

<p>Cool!</p><div></div>

<p>Michael - Thank you. I especially like the brush stroke-like colors of the first two. Your foliage colors are amazing especially in # 2; did you try K4 in b/w? It has that feel to it. Nicely done.</p>

<p>Camus - I really like the stairs, especially when you find the climber; the graveyard is made eerie by the blurred wings of the pigeon.</p>

<p>Bob - I'm jealous! Down in Ulster County (NY) things are dull and brownish. Wife and I went to North Adams, MA late last week, where the colors were better, but we were inside at MASS MOCA (MA museum of contemporary art - not a java joint - for those not in the NE U.S.) where the colors of Sol Lewitt were brilliant. Your Dack prints are gorgeous.</p>

<p>Robert - Your #1 has a beautiful mood. I like your Ps work!</p>

<p>Jordan - sweet picture doesn't really need caption. Glad you're back.</p>

<p>Dave - I like pastel-ly photos. I used to shoot Agfachrome to get that kind of color.</p>

<p>Tony - the "brushstrokes" were what I was going for in #s 1 & 2; # 3 does look matallic painted, now that you mention it.</p>

<p>Jack - #1 The reason humans don't like spiders is evident here. #2 Can snakes smile? This one does! It is the happiest snake Ive ever seen. #3 That little electrical particle is perfectly caught.</p>

<p>Mr. Elenko, The lighting is darn near perfect on Kubota 4. with the trees. Is that all natural light? Or did you add some fill?</p>

<p>Well, this thread is magnificent. I can't say I love it ALL, but why pick out the 2-3 I don't love as much... the fall colors are great, I haven't been able to get out to try - either too wet, too cold, or kids too sick. :-(</p>

<p>This is my favorite of the week, as it turned out just how I wanted, which was why I took the 50/1.7 to the party, and I only took one.</p><div></div>
