<p>Javier - You must be a Zen Master to have achieved such a level of objectivity over your drowned camera! Fortunately, you didn't injure yourself and you have other cameras - adds to the perspective, I guess.<br>

Looking at your first shot of the couple, I immediately thought "the Maya live!" Reminded me of the time I was in Mexico, looking at faces on a Mayan pyramid, turning around and seeing a boy with the same face. The link shows a <a href="http://www.mayanartinstone.com/shop_files/ccdata/images/image0_2_108.jpg">Mayan face carving</a>. I have a similar, non-valuable one.</p>

<p>Trevor - that's how I get PP practice, although, mostly I'm using PSE 6. It's just easier for a quick try.</p>

<p>After all my years in London, this is the first time I have seen Tower Bridge raised. It took no more than 5 minutes for the traffic to be stopped, bridge raise, boat pass and traffic start crossing the bridge again. this must be one of the most recognisable bridges in the world.<br>

<p>On Sunday, I went to Leeds Castle. It was built in 1119 and passed into Royal hands in 1278. Henry VIII regulary visited with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon (divorced). It was lastly owned by an American heiress. On her death, in 1974, she passed the castle to the nation to enjoy.<br>

<p>Great stuff here this week. It puts me to shame. We have a beautiful early Fall morining so went for a stroll around the River Valley. Very "Postcardy" I'm afraid, but it was nice just to out.</p>

[Tony Evans]

<p>Sorry, I got lost!<br>

Here's the Cloverdale bridge under repairs.</p><div></div>

<p>and,</p><div></div>

[Tony Evans]

<p>Muttart & Pink Palace (the Federal Building, of course).</p><div></div>

[Tony Evans]

<p>Finally, not a Postcard. Rigger's Huts waiting to go out.</p><div></div>

[Tony Evans]

<p>Should have said, all with K20D and F28 or FA50. Standard 1/125, f8.0, ISO 100.</p>

<p>Last weekend we were on a small lake in the Adirondacks. First a dinnertime view across the lake:</p>

<p>Finally, we came upon a political debate on a nearby farm:</p>

<p>I like NO POST CARD-Thank you for showing</p>

<p>I thought I might try out some painting with light on Thursday after work. The fountain in the foreground is not really lit at all, but I was trying to get it to be visible without blowing out the background. K7, DA15, 20 sec. at f/11.0, ISO 100. Jpeg, straight from the camera. I used a Xenon-bulb flashlight to paint the foreground (LED lights are generally too bluish-white for my tastes, especially here with all the yellow light in the background.)<br>

Afterwards I headed down to the waterfront for some dinner and a few shots of the fishing boats. K7, DA40, 4 sec. at f/9.0, ISO 400 (since the boats were moving a bit and I wanted to keep the motion blur down). Jpeg straight from the camera.<br>

On Saturday the photo club that I hang out with in San Diego got together for its monthly Group Shoot - this time we wandered around the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. It seems like at every one of these things we somehow manage to become our own subjects. K-7, DA70, 1/200 at f/5.0, ISO 250. Jpeg straight from the camera.<br>

<p>Hey Tony.<br>

Are you from Edmonton? I grew up there. (Edmonton and an acreage east of Sherwood Park).<br>

I went out this morning looking for interesting insects, I didn't really see any. I did get this shot with my K7 with a 200 f4 A macro +1.4X-S.</p><div></div>
