November 7th, I manage to take the 180 out with the D700. Here are a few pics and a 100% crop. This is a sharp lens and I don't regret it whatsoever. 100% crop of 1st picture

OK, I gave up and bought the 180 2.8. This is the first picture I took with it in the pawn shop to try it out. It's sharp as a knife and has very nice bokeh as well as much lighter than the 70-200 2.8. Now I only have to wait for the right light for it.

Monthly Assignment: B&W composition in a square This month's assignment is one about composition. And what better way to compose than in Black and White. Since November is a month that is usually a bit darker any way, I thought we'd make it a bit more interesting that you purposely compose for...

Nothing spectacular on this November 4th. I did manage to take my work (old PC) computer downstairs with all my paperwork and cleaned my Mac that does photo processing. It had been a very long time since I had seen that my desktop is actually wood. I thought it was only papers for a long long time.

Didn't have much time to shoot today, but thanks to Line's bouquet I can still catch a shot here and there. Fading flowers change every day and can keep me busy during this weird fall season.

I got to the store and never got out of the car. I decided I didn't need the 180. So I did a few shots with the Rokinon (Samyang) 85 1.4.

November 2nd, Cold and grey around here today. Line got around to remove the left plants in the garden and made her last wild flowers bouquet. Had to get a shot with the D700, filtered the hell out of it for mood effect. I'll see if I can shoot some more after I get the 180 2.8 this afternoon.

Is anyone using this lens on a D6/7/800? I've got an opportunity to get a nice looking pre-owned one and was wondering if some of you had positive or negative thoughts about it.

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 :)

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.

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

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

Re: Fuji X10. Yes I know it's not a Nikon Today's pictures with the little x-10

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.

You absolutely need a black background to do nice smoke pictures. The smoke will disappear whenever it's in front of a white object. Here's an example of what I mean:

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

The weather is just perfect to shoot B&W. It fits right in.
