<p>The birds around your place seem to have a lot of personality, Bill, and you capture them great. Do you give them names?</p>
-
<p>Nice work, Jim - it's very sculptural; lighting is the key to a shot like this, and I think you nailed it.</p>
-
<p>Thanks Gary - the Close Up lens 500 is most likely not anywhere near the same league as a proper FD Macro lens, but is a relatively cheap and certainly compact and lightweight alternative to carry around in the bag, just in case. I have a 72mm version which fits on the 35-105/3.5 and 200/2.8, and use a stepping ring to put it on the 50/1.4, on which it also seems to work fine.</p>

<p>Enjoy that 20-35, Alex...I've wanted one of those for decades!<br>
Apologies, yet another view of Mt Fuji to begin this month:</p>

<p>Scary but certainly magnificent...thanks for sharing these, Bill!</p>

<p>Well, we are lucky that you share your acorns with us - thanks very much.</p>

<p>Brilliant shot, Bill.<br>
You should seriously consider publishing a book... </p>

<p>Having bought the FD 20mm over ten years ago, I hardy ever use my cheap FD 28mm any more, so thought I'd take it out to Tokyo Tower recently:</p><div></div>

<p>Stunning work, Bill, just beautiful.<br>
Your shots just get better and better...thanks very much for sharing with us (the envious ones!)</p>
-
<p>Thanks Rick, but it was little more than point-and-shoot. Like a National Geographic photographer once said, the main secret to impressive pix is "f/8 and <em>be</em> there!"</p>

<p>Hope that newly acquired FTb puts some demons to rest Alex...<br>

<p>Bill, that's a beauty; a proud profile and razor sharp focus.</p>
-
<p>Jim, we can see the main snow zone, the melt zone below it (cris-crossed by various zig-zag climbing trails), then the russet brown colour of the volcanic shale around the bottom of the pic. Some dark grey clouds are also floating in the lower foreground. I've never been up to the top, but hope to one day...</p>

<p>Finally, a dam water inlet tower, western-style from early 20th century:</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year to all, and happy shooting in 2015.<br>
First up, Mt Fuji with cloud caps:</p><div>

<p>Great shot & crops, Bill - I think these are the best of your recent Moon series !</p>
