How cool is this, Marcel! :)

Part of the frozen lake at Elliston Park....about 1/4 mile from my house.

I was out in my backyard, enjoying the sun and watching the birds, when I spotted a photo opportunity! I just call this series.....Shadows.

This is my gear as it is at the moment; shot taken with the D40 and 18-55 lens. Two monopods and the Manfrotto 055 tripod flanking the sides. D40 mounted on a Hi-Ace 400 (now Slik) tripod.

I'll stick with my Manfrotto older style 055 tripod with the Manfrotto 496RC2 ball head. Holds all the weight I can load on it. Rock solid in all situations.

Quite frankly,I like the first one better. Better facial expression the cat. :) This is what I would have done with this shot. What do you think? :) I took the liberty. Hope you don't mind. It's just to show the possibilities.

Looking out my front window.

Picture of the top of my computer desk hutch. Exciting? lol...no, of course not. But it's something no one else has ever seen. :) Let your imagination run wild......then take a picture of it! :)

Thought I'd throw in a couple or three shop photos, as the weather is not co-operating at all lately! I used my 28-105 lens on macro setting and my SB700 flash on remote mode.

This is the spud that's used to mount the strobe flash on, or an umbrella/flash mount. Some have a 1/4 - 20 stud on them. Doesn't matter. That 1/4 - 20 stud is for screwing into the bottom of your camera. I hope this will make some sense for you. If not, I'll try to clarify.

ummm....question: why would you want to see a date stamp on the face of your picture when there's no need for it. It's in the EXIF info on every picture you'll ever take with your camera. It's called metadata. Google this: FxIF .....then download the program (just the way I spelled it there)...

Ted, I had to borrow this! :) Hope ya don't mind. I couldn't make this if I tried! lol :) Happy New Year to you and your family. :) And of course to all my Nikonite friends.

I should have put this in yesterday, but I forgot. Oh well. :)

This is one I took about 2 years ago. I haven't done much since then in macro. I sold my 85 macro lens for lack of use. Camera: NIKON D200 Image Date: 2010-06-03 13:27:03 (no TZ) Focal Length: 85.0mm (35mm equivalent: 127mm) Aperture: f/5.0 Exposure Time: 0.250 s (1/4) ISO: 125 Metering...

These were used on wide angle lenses, such as the Nikon 13mm, 15mm, etc. AI lenses. These filters fit on the bayonet mount of the lens, not on the front as you would expect.

You did say SNOW....not SNOWING.....right? :)

I thought I'd add my $0.02 here, if you don't mind. :) This is what I came up with, after a little sharpening and cropping.

By the way, while I'm at it here, I have a number of camera setup pdf's if anyone is interested, for many Nikon models. Unfortunately, I can only send them to whoever wants one via email, as it's not possible to send them through the forum.....yet. :) Here's one for the D200 for instance

There should be a number inside a circle denoting the class of the card...ie: Class 2, Class 4, Class 6, Class 10, etc. It should be on the face of the card. I was told by an old pro (older than me) that if there is no Class number, it's a knockoff. Stick to genuine brand name Lexars and SanDisks.

I think this one would be even better, Maxie. Either one will work. :) You might even want to print this out and keep it in your camera bag for future reference.
