<p>Hi All<br />I didn't capture the right moment - I arrived a little late on the scene -<br />but the Golden was really barking away at Santa. <br />Doug</p><div></div>

That is one of the best action shots I have ever seen.<br>

Very well done!<br>

<p>Hi All,<br>

My D90 was in the shop for a while. NB: DSLR's do not bounce well off of sidewalks.<br>

Great shots Sanford G., Tony H. and Allan A.</p><div></div>

<p>Chris W. - thank you!<br />Kris H and John P sorry for your losses. Dogs really are our best friends.<br /><br />Some favorites this week:<br />Matt's lovely portrait<br />Narayan K<br />Ted A<br />Rick M<br />Jennifer M <br />Doug S<br />David D - funny!<br />Allan A - nice job<br />Ismail B<br /><br />Best wishes to all.</p>

<p>Hi All,<br>

I had a bad day Saturday. Dropped my D90 on the sidewalk - shutter is toast. Sent it to Nikon and waiting to hear from them.</p><div></div>

<p>Simon Jenkins - that's an awesome picture!</p>

<p>Hi All,<br />Shun - great expresion<br />Tom H - another great shot<br />Nick D - nice<br />Tony H - you always have the nicest colors!<br />Elliot B - great capture<br /><br />I was playing around in my basement a few weeks ago with the repeating flash option on my D90. Didn't have any dominoes, so I used these wooden blocks.<br /><br /> </p><div></div>

<p>Bill Nelson,<br>

I'm afraid it was a tedious process. Basically I selected the athlete in each frame, copied him and piled them all into one frame. It is much easier if the subject isn't overlapping in different frames. For that case, try a youtube search for muliplicity tutorial in photoshop.<br>

Thanks and best wishes,<br>

Doug</p>

<p>Hi All,<br />Lots of nice work. Some that especially caught my eye:<br />Anura F.<br />Frank B - love the ears!<br />Jana H<br />Hamish G - very unusual guy!<br />Dennis B<br />Kent S - so cute<br />Don H - your photos always show such respect<br /> <br />Mine is a high school pole vaulter that I enjoyed watching. Unfortunately my D90 won't do this many multiple exposures, so I had to resort to PS.<br />1/500s f/10</p><div></div>

<p>Hi All,<br />Many lovely photos. Some that I especially like:<br />Bird shots by Bill B, Jeannean B, Greg K, Tom H<br />Flowers by Lorne S and Grant T, Chris S<br />Aguinaldo's and Jens F 's scenics<br />Bogdan N's street scene<br /><br />I didn't take anything worthy this week, so here is a two-year old photo of my Golden when she was a puppy.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks everyone! Now I know a little more about lighting than I did before.<br>

Doug</p>

<p>Shun, I was shooting manual.</p>

<p>Zach, your test was a great suggestion. I just went outside and shot 40 shots with identical settings to last night and they look fine (except for being blue becaues my WB was set to 2500K :)</p>

<p>Richard, I think you and Peter are correct. Something with the lighting. Not sure why last night was so different but I guess these things happen. Live and learn (again.)</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
