Timing & Exposure are fine. Even got a little breeze to kick up its' tailfeathers.

Just happened on this sight. I'd never witnessed anything like it

before. Shot with a D-80 and a 300mm f-4 lense with a doubler at the

highest film sensitivity.(3200)

I was amazed at this collection of driftwood which stretched for

miles up the Oregon coast from the Coquille River.

My dad is 83 now and starting to lose his memory, but doesn't want

to talk about it. Anyway, he recently visited with us for 4 days and

attended a class reunion while here, class of '49. Saw many old

friends and was reviewing a book on the colleges history when I shot

this. My dad has always used his hands to do his work and I knew

when I took this one I knew that it wouldn't be long before I'd

never see these hands again. I consider this momory precious.

I thought this was a lovely representation of this flower. I took it

with a D-70 and a 55mm micro-Nikkor in our bathroom. The light in

there was just an incandescent but I could move the plant and the

light where I wanted it. Dave

Gee, I almost passed this one by. Glad I looked closer. Pretty work, Austin!

I can only imagine how a photo shoot like this went.

"Uh-hum, I was just thinking-how about this idea..."

Part of the intrigue of this shot, for me anyway,

is trying to guess the subjects age-Which I'm SURE is of the legal type.
