<p>Really great shots this morning everyone. Rick Moran, great timing on that Osprey.<br>

Mine are just a couple reminders that Spring is finally making a showing in Ashland, Oh. </p><div></div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

I attempted to post 2 images at once, it didn't work. Using Chrome on an iMac.<br>

Anyway, Harry turned 2 yesterday. Here he is at 12 weeks.....</p><div></div>

<p>Tony: nice frame job on the church!<br>

Louis Meluso: interesting colors and excellent composition on the bronze furnace.<br>

Shun: It may not be a sports camera, but the furst shot is superb. Love the long shadow.<br>

Alex S.: nice candid! Aren't all cats reluctant?<br>

Simon Jenkins: you helped out well. Love that first shot, elegant and moody.<br>

John Rowsell: both nice pics, he looks like he was a fun puppy. Aren't they all?</p>

<p>For me, not much with the Nikons this week; been playing around with a Pentax 110, a Minolta XE-5, and a Yashica FR-I. Also picked up a Fuji Instax, the instant thingy. I did manage to capture this bit of woodland foliage .</p><div></div>

<p>This week we went visiting an old monastery here in Catalonia. I made this picture subexposing deliberately by five or so stops to add more drama.<br>

D90 with Tamron 17-50 f/2.8</p>

<p>And one from the inside. We had to wait patiently between groups of tourists until the room was more or less empty to be able to take a shot.</p>

<p>My neighbor, Dale, on phone while walking his medical service dog, Nevaeh, Monday evening. Gave me a chance to try out the V1 with Fotodiox adapter and 35-70mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor (full manual mode, guesstimating exposure).<br /> <a href="/photo/17037493&size=lg"><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17037493-md.jpg" alt="Dale on phone (DSC_2588)" width="680" height="455" border="0" /></a><br /> Nikon V1, 35-70mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor, ISO 200, 1/1000th @ f/4<br /> Straight from camera JPEG, auto white balance, custom Portrait color mode with reduced saturation. I'd prefer even lower saturation but this is as low as the V1 goes.</p>

<p>While the 35-70/2.8D AF Nikkor produced very good results at f/4-5.6, it's a little heavy and unwieldy with the V1. I'll probably stick with the 50/2 AI and 85/2 AIS for the Fotodiox adapter.</p>

<p>Dale and Nevaeh striking a handsome pose in the sunset. Reminds me of Capt. Picard and Riker. To boldly go where no terrier has gone before.<br /> <br /> "Number One! Engage! By that tree over there should do nicely."<br /> <a href="/photo/17037492&size=lg"><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17037492-md.jpg" alt="Dale and Nevaeh (DSC_2606)" width="455" height="680" border="0" /></a><br /> V1 with 10-30 VR @ 17mm, ISO 100, 1/2000th @ f/6<br>

Same custom portrait mode in-camera JPEG, reduced saturation.</p>
