Marcel's once in a while daily or weekly 2014

October 19th, We raked some leaves and just before taking the patio table in, I got these pictures with the 55 1.2.

October 20th, still playing around with the D600 and 55 1.2 but added the +2 close-up filter on it. This is a blueberry shrub that I planted this spring. Although we only ate about 5 blueberries, it does have a very nice coloring in the fall. Straight jpeg out of camera only resized with CS6

October 15th, seems that the warm weather won't help this sunflower anymore. I've taken a few shots of it while it's going back to earth. It changes every day.

Kinda looks like an animal dressed for Halloween.

October 4th. I didn't have much time to shoot today but I got a few interesting things. Can't process it all tonight though.

Rare breed dog:

My first "Harvest" entry

is that a xolo?

 

[Marcel]

is that a xolo?

I have no idea but I was told it's a dog that usually lives in Mexico...

 

[Roy1961]

Just asked a Mexican there and he confirmed it's a xolo.

 

[Marcel]

I'm just not sure how the poor Mexican dog will like our -25 degree winters over here. No fur to protect itself... I find it a bit crazy for someone to get a breed like that in our Canadian climate.

That's exactly what I thought when I shot it. To me it looked like a ragged doll.

It's been a while since our temperature is so so miserable for doing outdoor pics. We attended cooking class last night and I thought I'd share what the D700 with 55 1.2 was able to capture under not so favorable light and high iso.

October 24th, grey day that seems to go with my mood.

 

[RockyNH_RIP]

Like teh photo, sorry to hear the grey carries over to your mood..

Pat in GA

I saw this business card holder in an antique shop today and just couldn't resist the picture. I think I'm going to go back and get it.

Now with Nikon pics of the day. 2 straight out of camera shots (bit of shadow recovery only, resizing) and then 2 HDRs.

It has been a while since I posted a piano person. So here's a good faithful customer of about 30 years.

I have been missing your piano people. They always look happy.

Thanks Don. I bring so much harmony back into their lives that they are always happy to see me and enjoy the results of my hard work on their pianos.

October 29th, I took this one on the way to work through the car's windshield... With the X-10. My only shot for today.

 

[Marcel]

October 31st out with the D600 24-70 but I ended up having to use my (always in the car) 70-210 older lens because I just couldn't get close enough with the 24-70. Overall, I'm enjoying this lens, specially since I only paid 75 $ for it
