<p>Wow, last Nikon Wednesday of 2015! Cannot believe how fast this strange, troubling, exciting, stressful, wonderful, unusual, normal year went by. I especially can't believe it's been 12 months since I first tried shooting a flaming pudding as we wrapped up Christmas dinner. My first try wasn't too bad, but we went for it one more time this year. Nope, still have some work to do. That intense blue alcohol flame is a tricky devil!<br /><br />Wishing everyone a peaceful and prosperous new year, and looking forward to more of everyone's photos.</p><div></div>

<p>Something unusual from 2015. Two camera shops....right next to one another. The odds of one surviving....and two ?</p>

<p>Took some pictures by the Christmas tree with my daughters. They were both more interested in playing with the ornaments than having their picture taken. </p>

<p>Just discovered an image from 2011 of my wife. I was apparently testing a bounce card flash off the camera. She was sitting at the computer and gave me an obligatory pose, which turned out rather nice. Well, she is used to me testing lenses and so forth for the last 35 years or so!</p><div></div>

<p>Sitting with my granddaughter this morning at the kitchen table while she played with Play Doh and watched kids shows. I practiced focusing my 50mm f 1.4 Ais lens on the D7100.</p><div></div>
