Yes... I'm still behind. I really am against the cold, in any way/shape/form, and I've struggled to be motivated to capture shots when work has been so crazy AND it's been cold, but I found a couple for week 6 - weather. I didn't get off of the back porch, but just shot a couple of quick...

Finally got in, and I was set to "ACTIVE" status for "Sugarman Studios" (which is our lovely Nikonites forum), so I guess I already agreed to renew last year. @SteveL54 - Touché! Bubble... BUSTED! **runs off into the wilderness to conduct other wild bald-man like activities**

Paypal site seems to be down (at least for me right now) and honestly can't remember if I set it on Paypal or a card at the time. Either way, gonna re-up, but don't want to duplicate, so will check later tonight. :) BTW, I got a nice reminder email as well! Thanks, @jdeg, for what ya do to...

This was an iPhone shot as I left work. (best camera is the one you have at the moment) I saw the sunset, pulled around to a better shot, rolled down the window and took the shot. Week 5 - through a window - "Parking Lot Sunset"

Catching up a bit... This one was actually from the previous week (same pond as the Grebe) but didn't have a chance to shoot much more, so I took a cloudscape and worked it into the pic, applying a little bit o' imagination. Week 4 - reflection - "Best of both worlds..."

Sorry all, but haven't been out and about shooting a lot lately... been run down and generally apathetic after work. I did get out a couple weeks ago, taking some pics at the local duck hangout. Posted one of the pics in my Project 52 thread, but decided to go extreme edit crazy with another...

I drive a toaster (when I'm not on the bike or dustin' off the old camaro...) Does that count? Without saying anything about myself... I had to get one with "bagel" slots. ::what::

Nothing beats a lunch time trip to see a winter visitor from up north... Week 3 - water - "Grebe in Abstract"

Ok all... inspired by the Zach Arias OneLight videos, I'm going to start dabbling in off-camera flash with ONE light/stand/modifier and go from there. I've already got a decent 9' stand picked out, and an expandable hot shoe mountable trigger/receiver set, but wondering about the first...

I knew right away, when I saw "still life" as one of the themes, that I wanted to do something different. No fruit, no flowers (besides, Wendy set the bar too high for flowers), something unique. THIS was the first image I saw in my head when I walked by these artist's dummies in Barnes and...

I acted on an impulse last night and spent 20 bucks on a couple of wooden artist's dummies, a 12" and a 5". (Well, ok, I threw in a chai latte too) I'm not an artist, in the sketching sense (sketch-y maybe), but have always been fascinated with the models, and I've got a couple of ideas re...

Aside from carrying most of the common consumer level of bodies and lenses AND being willing to price match with any well known online competitor (including Amazon), Best Buy is rolling out a "Camera Experience Shop". (At least, the email they sent me as a highly valued camera customer says...

Ok, I'm a little behind. End of year catch-up is in full swing at work, and when I get home........ I'm beat. Been toying with this idea for a while, dunno if I pulled it off quite like I wanted, but I'm happy with the pic. You see, in the Living Room, I have my own end table. It's mine, to...

I signed up for a 52 in 365 here, but needed a place to post the pics of my random wanderings (get it? Gypsy reference for the win) There will be no theme, although there MAY be a rhyme or reason interjected somewhere between here and there, should the fancy strike me. My only pledge is that...

It was immensely hard to choose just one. To be honest, I waffled over about 7 photos, as I grew so much last year. I had SO MANY victories as I pushed myself into styles of photography and editing that I never imagined when I first dove in to the "serious" realm... This is the picture that...

I'll use the Nikonites 52 list, in random order, no more than 3 substitutions (at my choosing, LOL) I will incorporate random INFORMED* strangers into at least 25% of my shots. (*meaning, not snipes but rather with permission to get the shot) I will post weekly. I think that about covers it...

I typically like to close down the aperture and ISO and go for longer exposure to capture more sharpness and detail, but you'll get "light auras" from the aperture blades, like you mentioned. Longer exposures allow for more of the ambient "glow" to be captured, though. (see the pic below from...

Exactly what I was typing up. I know my wife travels a bit in her business, and she gets normal salary PLUS mileage when she's driving, so... GOOD THOUGHT @Eyelight!

Day 3 - Rockin' Had the chance to attend a local rock concert, help out kids, AND get some cool shots...

2nd day - was driving to work and still foggy. Crossed over the same tracks I *always* cross, and thought "Man, that looks so cool! Wish I had time to stop for a few quick pics..." 6 blocks later, I turned around and did just that. I'm salary, what's it matter if I'm 10 minutes late...
