<p>Good Morning! And thank you to those who commented on last week's image of Hollywood, Florida! Spring is happening very slowly here in upper Michigan. This shot of a maple bud is just my first foray into our yard with my D300 and the new 105mm micro Nikkor. It was taken at f8, 1/200 sec, iso 200, handheld.<br>

Have a great week!<br>

<p>I just realized how close my kit lens can focus, even at 200mm. I could never fill the frame like this with any of my older prime lenses.</p><div></div>

<p>I guess I am a little bit late this week. As I mentioned in #15, this week's contribution was taken last thursday. My wife discovered these little fellas, while she was washing the dills that we picked up from a firend's garden. I once again stacked the helios in front of my 50mm f1.8 and took some shots. The lighting was not ideal so there is some movement blur. D80 1/2s@f14 iso 1600 handheld, shot in jpg and processed in PS.</p><div></div>

<p>Visited Longwood Gardens last week with the tulips in their glory. Experimented with the shooting direction toward the sun a bit more. Kudos to:<br>

Tony Hadley - ominous weather<br>

Rick Moran - osprey</p>

<p>This week's shot is a self-portrait. I just got an SB-25 and some radio triggers, so I started playing around with them.</p>

<p>The original idea for this shot was to aim the (snooted) flash into the TLR and see if there was enough residual light to light my face. There wasn't, but I liked the idea, so I angled the flash to hit the front of the TLR and my face to try and make it appear like what I was seeing through the viewfinder was "illuminating."</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday One and All!!! First off thanks to those who commented on my shot last week. Oh how I love spring/summer and all of the outdoor offerings that come our way. This weeks photo is of a Bleeding Heart, from our backyard. This flower holds a special place in my heart and every spring I add to my collection of bleeding heart photos. For those of you who love to get down and dirty w/ your macro lenses, one piece of equipment that I have have found amazingly useful is the right-angle viewer by Hoodman. Not only does this little gizmo allow you to get right down to the ground, w/out your whole body having to be there as well, but.....................w/ the flip of a lever you can jump the viewer magnification from 1x to 2.5x, which makes focusing on small details a lot easier. As usual I will be back later to comment.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings all. How time flies.<br /> Not been out in a while, and keep missing opportunities as I never have my camera with.<br /> This was from 2 weeks ago. Was walking past and my friend decided she would grab a close up pic of the Lichen. So I decided to try something a little different.<br>

Love the standard of pics here once again, but a few that caught my attention:<br>

Gej Jones <br />Lil Judd<br />Pascal Burel<br />Tony Hadley<br />Ray Gosalia</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings all. My visits to the thread are rare these days, just too busy and not taking enough photos. Also, with a modem connection, it takes me most of the week before I can view most of the photos. Got to get a faster connection, I know, when I can get around to it !<br>

A shot from a couple of weeks ago, before all the fraccas with the dreaded ash cloud. A Cyprus Airways A330 low and slow over the threshold at Larnaca, inbound from London Heathrow. Am always trying to get in the perfect position, directly underneath but runways change, winds change, and police patrols stop you venturing in areas you shouldn't be in !<br>

<strong>D700, iso 800, Sigma 70-300 at 300mm, f/8, 1/1250sec.</strong> Some PP, and cropping.<br>

I hope no one was too inconvenienced by the week's flight disruptions, but it wasn't the airlines fault.<br>

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

<p>Was out this past weekend with my kids visiting to Fort Pike here in Louisiana. A mysteriously old and haunted fortification on the banks of the Rigolets. This place got battered tremendously from Hurricane Katrina, but still stands after major renovation work.<br>
