<p><img src="../photo/10283931" alt="" /> What a fabulous variety and quality of images - like pandora's box - full of goodies and never quite sure what you are going to see. My contribution this week was taken in small residential area of candiac Quebec as the sun was beginning to dip and I was able to elicit these warm smiles.</p>

<p>To conclude my Native American documentary project, I'll submit this image of the Spirit Dance from the Kwakwakwa'wakw people of the Pacific North coast. This ancient dance is rarely seen outside secluded tribal ceremonies.</p>

<p>A Fall Day at the Races. This was the last race of the day. Was able to add a little 'speed' to the pic.<br>

I would appreciate comments! Thanks</p><div></div>

<p>Man and his best friend go for a ride....<br>

I took this shot a few weeks ago while I was in Glendale, CA to shoot some pics at a bike show. I was looking down right before this shot and as I looked up, I saw this bike with a side car coming at me, I only had about 1/2 second to fire off two shots, and was very happy with the intense look on their faces.. </p><div></div>

[fpessolano]

<p>Lots of nice photos this time. Pity I will not join (nothing done this week).<br>

Keith and Ertugral: I really like your photos!</p>

<p><strong>Watches</strong> . Here is a close up I took with a Nikon D50 and the infamous manual focus Japanese Kiron 105mm f/2.8 Macro. Used a Nikon Speedlight SB-16 (I'm a little behind!) on the camera with micro Apollo covering and a Vivitar 285HV off to the side into an umbrella.</p><div></div>

<p>As good as ever! This thread just gets stronger.</p>

<p>For my entry this week I have this 'penny bun' boletus that was growing in the beechy groves near Ashridge Management College. In central Europe these are a popular eating mushroom, but in the UK we have not yet come around to picking wild mushrooms - maybe in time.</p>

<p>I used my Pronea 6i, 30-60mm zoom and Kodak Advantix 200.</p><div></div>

[kris-bochenek]

<p>Tiffany Thank you for you comment I really like your shot. I always admired women playing accordions (love german polkas).</p>

 

[raaj]

<p>I just skimmed through today's post. Looks great, I will have to sit down and go through them on the weekend.<br>

Missed the last 3 or 4 Wednesdays; haven't touched my camera for a while. I got around to playing with it last night before bed. This is a burnt out bulb that was on my desk. <br>

Cheers</p><div></div>

<p>Per-Christian: You missed the boat, but got the image.<br>

Ilkka: You and Gej get the "Quiet Award." I love walking in the fog.<br>

Shun: I love a parade, but have to ask what happened when he cut the line?<br>

Keith: You've got proof that ghost buildings do exist! Nice job.<br>

Richard: Great context shift.<br>

Jens: Fascinating light; high contrast but almost no shadows. Source?<br>

Tiffany: That song keeps going through my head about "daddy gets no rest night"<br>

Jennifer: My favorite this week. This image operates on a number of levels. The trees and sky push this family image into a very different realm. Thanks</p>
