Here's something I found out: When using shutter speeds below 1/250s, when I use the Quiet shutter mode I get sharper pictures. Read somewhere that it slowed down the mirror movement and prevented "mirror slap". It's been questioned, but it does work for me. Try it out for yourselves. Enjoy...

Not quite wildlife, but still not so easy to get. Thanks to the garden again today.

Day 241, August 28th Had to get something better than yesterday for sure. My piano person project had a dog involved. I only took 1 shot: And I got my new watch:

Day 240, Aug 27th Not very much time for pics yesterday, so I'm posting what I got. Wanted to keep these people anonymous so treated the thing through heavy filters.

Day 239, Aug 26th The garden's little critter saved my daily pic again today. I had nothing before I spotted the little caterpillar. Since I had OF problems the other time, I tried again. I did notice that whenever I was touching it, the little orange antennas would come up suddenly. So was...

Day 238, back home to the garden and it's getting close to the end.

Not with the Nikon, but the sigma 10-20 Sunset in Rivière du Loup

Day 233-238 I was away for work all week and came back with these. I don't have the time to make individual posts for every day, so here they are all at once.

Day 232, August 19th Fall is near. Here's the proof: D90, iso 800, 28-80 3.3-5.6 (plastic mount lens).

Day 231, August 18thWent to a sculpture exhibit and was lucky to find the artist there. At first the museum person told us that there were no photos allowed, but when I saw the artist I asked him for a portrait opportunity and he said yes.So here is Maj Fortier with his 800 pound bronze saxophone:

See, this is what I get with my D700 at 1600 iso, 1/60s f5.6 inside my house

One more with the help of a little maybe too much filtering

Day 230. Aug 17th A short walk to the garden was worth it this morning. Here are a few picked shots:

Still today. Freshly picked from the garden: And this little bugger I couldn't get sharper than this cause the shutter speed was too slow… I should have brought the iso up...

Passion flower (so I was told).

Day 229, August 16th Only shot 4 frames so far. I guess I'm getting cheap with digital film ;) But here's a flower I had never seen in my life. My customer told me it was a passion flower… Sure looks sensuous. So, here is the customer and her flower.

Day 228, August 15th Worked all day and only had time to take 2 shots just before dinner with friends. No cropping and minor adjustments with iPhoto.

Day 227, August 14th I've entitled this one "lens money". I usually collect my spare change every night and wait before a holiday or when I need something special to break the piggy bank. There was more than I thought this year to say the least. And a Colleague came for a visit and I had to...
