<p>Good Day Nikonians! as Matt suggests let's all have a ride outside our home and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere! Most of all, let's not forget those who need us the most. Be healthy and happy to enjoy yourselves, friends and family! See you! Cheers!</p><div></div>

<p>We just concluded a Festival of Trains event; this snow village scene was taken with a 24mm PC lens tilted to get the foreground and background in focus.</p><div></div>

<p>Markku, I like your shot of the Grosbeak, very nice. <br>

Here's one from a wandering in a local park over the weekend. We finally got a little rain.</p><div></div>

<p>Louis, your old truck grill shot tickles me... well done! Many wonderful photos today, everyone. This is a shot of a corner in our living room, first Christmas here in retirement.</p><div></div>

<p>Wonderful shots everyone ! My post is dedicated to my friend, Mr. Lloyd, who recently passed away.<br>

I met Mr. Lloyd almost 2 years ago while out in the Bonnet Carre Spillway. Mr. Lloyd ( in his mid 80's) was a dog trainer. Mr.Lloyd believed in positive reinforcement , never used shock collars. He truly loved the dogs and the sport.<br>

One of the very first things Mr. Lloyd ever told me was - Find something you love and get up and do it everyday . He lived by his these words. One could find him out everyday with a owner and dog doing what he loved .<br>

Your friends from the spillway will miss you and your kindness .</p>

<p>Doing what he loved best .</p>

<p>As a long time retail worker, I try to stay away from the malls this time of year. So I went hiking with my son's 7th grade class. At least I brought a tripod along this time. This was the just past full moon behind some clouds with a 6 second exposure. If I had a larger lens and less clouds, we might have been able to see Jupiter just above the moon. </p><div></div>

<p>We got some fresh snow and I photographed some rocks by the sea in Helsinki.</p><div></div>

<p>The rocks in the picture above are in Lauttasaari; the ones below are on the south coast of mainland Helsinki.</p><div></div>

<p>Having fun with my new toys. The camera lives up to what people have been saying on the Web :).</p><div></div>

<p>Roberta, So sorry for the loss of your dear friend Mr. Lloyd. He loved what he did and that's the important thing in life. We should all learn to live by his "words of wisdom".<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone!</p>

<p>Roberta, sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.</p>

<p>Dieter, I love your leaf picture.</p>

<p>After months of thinking about it, I finally found the time to stop off and photograph a tree which I pass on a regular basis.......</p><div></div>

<p>Since I was a little kid growing up, the Hong Kong Harbour always looks beautiful to me at night. The challenging part of this image is that even though I had a tripod, the Star Ferry was floating with the tide so that the boat moved a lot with serious motion blur with any time exposure.</p>

<p>I finally settled for ISO 400 on the D800E, 1 second, and the 24-120mm/f4 AF-S VR at f8.</p><div></div>
