<p>I'm a day late and well more than a dollar short. I just got my new D700 today, an upgrade from my D70. I charged up the battery, got out my lens and shot while scanning the manual and playing with buttons. I'm looking forward to the long weekend to get out and use it!</p><div></div>

<p>Some very nice images this week. I need to join this more often but don't take many personal shots anymore. Gotta change that.</p>

<p>My son's final band concert, grade 9 and they were joined by the local orchestra. I probably looked funny, trying to get the right angle to isolate the one instrument and not get other hands and heads in the pic. </p>

<p>Not to single anyone out as everyone's work is nice and most tell a story.<br /> A few shots that I liked:<br /> Chuck, cool capture. Missed the eye a bit but no matter, still a neat moment captured<br /> Lorne, fun shot of the duckling. Nice.<br /> Jana, Excellent shot and pose. Well done.<br /> Richard, I like the mode and composition of Harbor Lightshow<br /> Chris, Nicely captured shot on the track. Great motion blur with the sharpness in the right spot.<br /> Jeannean, Very nice, beautiful capture.<br /> John, Secret Canyon is very nicely done, good work.<br /> Roberta, Lovely. nice sharpness on the bird and beautiful DOF. How did you get her to pose so nicely?<br />Steve L, Great water drop shot, sharp and excellent colours.<br /> Doug S, nice mood and feel to the old building. Like the PP for B&W. Kinda wish you had the entire roof in the frame though.</p>

<p>Chris and Peter, thanks for the kind words. Secret Canyon is in the same area as Antelope Canyon, near Page, Az; but, far less congested.</p>

<p>Beautiful submissions everyone & it sure looks like all is well in Nikon land.<br>

Just letting friends here know I'm alive & well. Trying to get back to my photography more now that my new computer has arrived & I just saw this lovely Daylily in my garden. A friend who grows them sent me seeds the other year & I've been waiting to see the results. Actually thought I'd manage to kill them all. But it looks like I have about 4 or 5 new lilies coming up right now. Here's the one in bloom right now. Hope I remember how to do this right ;-)<br>
