<p>This is "Firefox." He lives behind the condo. I named him Firefox because deer are browsers. Get it?</p>

<p>I've been on the road a lot, as always, and here's a shot from over the Pacific at about 13 degrees above the Equator. I'm always amazed at how much rain can fall from little, tiny clouds in that part of the world.</p><div></div>

<p>We had a couple of days off in Hong Kong on my last trip, which is one of my favorite cities. Here's the view from the top of Victoria Peak. The high rises in the foreground are on Hong Kong Island, the water is Victoria Harbor and beyond is Kowloon.</p><div></div>

<p>I had three days at Lord's last week watching Middlesex play Durham.<br />All these were shot using 7D+300/4+1.4x</p>

<p><strong>Chris Rushworth</strong><br />Went on to take 15 wickets in his next game - that's a lot.<br>

<p>Abstract forms and colors reflected in a small stream that flows through a field of moss laden boulders. It's a bit of a fantasy land down there.</p><div></div>

[DickArnold]

<p>Dave Collett. I flew a gooney bird on regular trips to Kai Tak airport now long gone. Your picture brought memories of flying the Cheng Chau approach to the checkerboard and making a right turn down the mountain to the runway oh those many years ago.</p>

[DickArnold]

<p>oops</p>

[Marcus Ian]

<p>I was doing a series on reflections, so these are from it.<br>

From a couple months back. The Westin on Hutchinson Isl. here in Savannah.<br>

5D2 w/ 10-24/3.5-4.5 @ 14mm - 1/50 - f14 - ISO200</p><div></div>

[Marcus Ian]

<p>And the Intl T&CC <br>

A reflection, or through the glass doors?</p>

<p>5D2 w/ 24-70/2.8 @ 48mm - 1/60 - f14 - ISO200</p><div></div>

<p>The last couple of weeks I've been doing more reports on the development of AF SLRs.<br>

I did a return to the Maxxum 7000 (with crossed Xs)</p><div></div>

[JDMvW]

<p>And a very interesting and nice Canon A-series camera, the AL-1, with AF confirmation.</p><div></div>

[Dave410]

<p>Thanks, Lupo. I like your P-51 image a lot too, although I've never seen one with a six-bladed prop. Is that a racer? To answer the question, my image was with a 7D and a 70-200 f/4 L zoomed to 70mm and from somewhere in the high 30s. I'm always disappointed by the distortion I get when shooting through the airplane windows and zooming in too close makes it worse. Zooming out and then cropping makes for a better image. BTW, I just re-read <em>Shogun</em> - great book! - and I'll be downloading more Clavell soon. Any recommendations? I've heard <em>King Rat</em> is good, but depressing.</p>

<p>Hi, Dick. I've never flown the "checkerboard," but I've seen the movies and that must have been a real adventure! When and where did you fly the C-47? My active duty squadron flew C-47s over the hump, but that was long before I was in it. The new airport in Hong Kong is very modern and very busy, even in the middle of the night. There are warnings about severe turbulence on final, but I've never experienced it.</p>

[DickArnold]

<p>Dave. i was stationed in Tainan, Taiwan 1960-62. I was placed in charge of two t33s and two C-47s after one of those C-47s hit Mt. Parker departing through the Lei e Mun gap in bad wx. In those days our dependents did their shopping in HK. We went once a week and only two of us were allowed to fly the trip. I loved flying Cheng Chau. Had to be VFR below 600 foot minimums. </p>

<p>Another slow week for me photographically speaking, took this one on a quick "outing" last Friday.<br>

Big Rock Ridge<br>

CHEERS!</p><div></div>

[Laura Weishaupt]

<p>Thanks Thom. That's a very pretty sky. Must have been quite a sight in person.</p>
