<p>yes Haig that hummer picture had me baffled there, since I had so much trouble earlier this year, trying to get one properly in focus.<br> Your candid explanation makes it understandable, and now I know how to improve, and it makes me feel able to do.<br> Apart from that I do like that Seine shot !</p>

<p>Yes, I love that diversity. It's very much inspiring. Thank you all for sharing.<br> here is my part :<br> .<br> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_alm_zpsf6ad9484.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="720" /><br> <strong>The town Almere where I live is only 33 years old/young and sitting 5 meters below sea-level.

<p>I agree with Haig. Let's get this party rolling !</p>

<p>a high natural level this week, I like it.<br> my weeks' work is a mixed bag again : <br> .</p> <p><img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/5313w1_zpsc07fd9e9.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="679" /><br> <strong>this is where I live.

<p><strong>before moving into this week I wish to mention Howard's last week street-pictures.

<p>thanks Duane and Howard for welcoming me back. I am however the same as Guus Giesbergen, while Dorus Oshiva is an abandoned artist name. It's just that I'm getting mixed up with the logins....<br /> So I haven't been all that far away :)<br />The fisheye was made with a Samyang 8mm, a very nice lens for little money</p>

<p>nice work again ! Like Duane says it's great to see all these images from around the world. <br />here's my share :<br /><br /><img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/5817w_zps1ca847b9.jpg" alt="" width="679" height="1024" /><br> <strong>parasolitas</strong><br> .<br> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/3816w_zps9b102933.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="678" /><br> <strong>my wife and youngest daughter walking a dutch village</strong><br> .<br> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/0320w_zps285cb667.jpg" alt="" width="678" height="1024" /><br> <strong>on location with a fisheye</strong><br> .</p>
