Marcel's once in a while daily or weekly 2014

Feb 12th, piano person of the day. With a twist because I already had this person with his piano. But, since he's mainly a guitar player, I thought I'd do a different portrait. Plus, the piano is in a large window that put him back to the light. So I played with Nik Analog filter to get this which I like very much.

Is the Lennon poster in the background on purpose?

WM

Yes, I did want it in the background as it adds to the person's character.

Feb 14th, I had to get into work even with the storm that might and probably will cancel tonight's concert. So, as I'm tuning, I noticed the ice in the window and thought it might be a good shot.

I like it. nice contrast to the building in the background

Feb 18th. I have to give warning for those who might be offended by seeing a dead animal. This is why I've chosen to post a link to my Gallery for today's picture.

It's a rodent that I caught inside the house: Here is the link

Great shot. that is a wall hanger.

Great shot. that is a wall hanger.

I'm afraid if I hang it to the wall the cat won't stop staring at it.

And that might be an even better photo.

That is superb! I love the composition and the sharpness of the guy, up against this smooth background.

For the most part we don't want to know.

Feb 21st. It's been a while since I did my daily shot. So I grabbed the chance when I went for a suspension checkup at my friendly mechanic's shop this morning.

Unsaturated from D700 and 35 Ais. 1/125, f2, iso 1600

 

[Marcel]

It's my lucky day. I also did my piano persons. Had to look at a neighbour's piano and do a little magic with it.

D600, 24-70 2.8.

Feb 24th. The snow is actually melting away. Not today, but the process has started and the days are getting longer. I'm glad winter will soon end.

That is WAY to much snow.

Feb 25th. Just got my new focusing screen for my D600 and tried manual focus to check things out with my Sigma 105.

Looks good. First is a small part of the kind of hologram printed in our 5$ bill (the bill was folded and curved) and second is just a corner of the same bill.

Went to the fish market and this guy kept staring at me

You should have bought the fish and had it for dinner.
