I re-hashed my panorama and this is the almost finished version (a never ending thing) and one from a previous day in the pool

NOT for Judging. Just to show what got me to select this subject for challenge, here's one I did with the 24mm lens on FX in Sliema, Malta last week. The wide angle really made this one different.

Here are a few done the last shooting day on location in a small village which name I never got. Click on thumbnails to enlarge to real size, resolution and color.

Here are a few more from a totally different session. Yes, the models were just great, specially Lara. Lara could either be 18 or 25 in the pictures depending on how she'd face the camera. So this is a session done with Lara and Ana: Ana Lara and Ana

So many shots to choose from and not enough time to process them all. I've kind of lost count of days and dates and am still a little bit jet lagged. So I'll post a few a day to compensate for the days I didn't have access to internet on the end of my trip last week.

Weekly Challenge DATE: B&W Panorama This week's challenge has a double twist. First, you will take at least 3-4 pictures, than mend them as a panorama. Then you will convert it to B&W. The picture will then be judged for composition, exposure and contrast. Remember to read the challenge rules...

Day 253, Sept 9th Here's my best shot for today, selected for Julian's retouching session. He is just a master and I'm learning more and more every day. So this shot he retouched. It's not still finished but since this is for me and not for publication, I'll show it to you: This is one from...

Here are a few more shots from yesterday in Malta. All were done between 7-7:30 pm.

Day 252, Sept 8th Here are my shots for today. I didn't have time to check them all yet so i'll send these that I did early this morning. First one is a moth that I found in the pool this morning and the second is the view from the rooftop of the farm house where Julian is hosting us.

Well it's Friday the 7th and I don't know what the exact count is. I just know that I've lost track of time and days with the jet lag. I'm in Malta, attending Julian Knight's fashion shoot. So far so good. I got here late last night and was so tired that I had trouble having a good night sleep...

Day 246, Sept 2nd Started packing for my Malta trip so I just took these shots this morning on my patio. Not too bad for a $50 lens with extension tube.

Day 245, Septembre 1st another caterpillar but different brand :-)

Day 244, Aug 31st Abstract to get my today shot in case the blue moon is hidden by clouds...

Day 243, Aug 30th Last minute shot before dusk. You deal with what's there. :)

Day 242, August 29th Good thing my work gets me to use the camera for my ongoing project: Customer with Heintzman piano, D700 24-120 f4 VR @ 120 f4, iso 1250, 1/30s

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...
