Here are a few shots this morning. The snowy trees shot was taken at night and with the city's sodium vapor lights I had to go almost B&W. The bakery shots are just to make you hungry ;)

Rick, feel free to let me know if showing what I would do on this forum upsets you. I didn't have access to CS5 last night so today I made a mask for the stone only, played with the saturation and contrast and this is what I ended up with. It's only my view and I'm only trying to help, so I hope...

Day 57, Feb 26th 2012 The snow came back and I took this after shoveling the driveway.

Day 56, Feb 25th 2012 Water droplets in my kitchen window. "Slightly modified" ;) with CS5 D90, sigma 105 macro, 1/400 f5, iso 200

Still Day 55, trying to get days off on the long run :) 3 shots made just for fun with D90 and 35 1.8G.

Day 55m, Feb 24th 2012 My tuning companion, this iPAQ has seen it all. It's been so far the most trustworthy piece of equipment that I've bought. Hopefully, saying this won't affect it's performance for the future. D90, 18-200VR, 1/100s, f 4.5, iso 1600.

Shop work. New damper felts. I'm documenting this restoration project since this piano has a certain historic value. D7000, sigma 105, 1s f16, iso 400. Auto WB. Picture was taken under Fluorescent light.

Day 54, Feb 23rd 2012 Woke up with some white stuff lying around. I had to get to work early so I took this one at the University around 8 am. D7000, 17-55 2.8, 1/250 @5.6, iso 400.

One more for today. A piano person this time:

Day 53, Feb 22nd 2012 I had never tried macro using live view to focus. WOW!! what a difference it makes. Just something I found while taking apart a piano action for cleaning. D7000, sigma105 macro, 1/2s f8 iso 250.

As I was working in the shop I took a break to do these two pics: Damper felt removal Old damper felts D7000, sigma 105 macro.

I don't think I'd go lighter than this.

What would you think of this version?

Valentine's remnants:

Day 51, Feb 20th 2012 Today you get 4 for the price of one. In the same order they were shot: Landscape going to the first customer: The first piano of the day: Second customer did not want to be seen and/or was reluctant to be photographed: I hope you all had some time to click...

Day 50 feb 19th 2012 Shot from the riverside while taking a stroll.

Although the exif shows this has been taken today, I had to try copying an old 35mm transparency just using my sigma macro 105. The original was taken around 1970s. I just held the slide in front of the window and shot hand held. I'll have another real pic taken today later.

Day 49, Feb 18th 2012 Driving back home from work, I caught a glimpse of these guys in the field. I stopped and it took a little while for them to approach. D90, 18-200VR, iso 400.

Nikon published a technical guide for the D 800. Seems like it could very well apply to the D 7000 as well. You can get the pdf download here: http://www.nikonusa.com/en_US/o/Y6wrkA9OU_z04IreazIXl_22UII/PDF/D800_TechnicalGuide_En.pdf

I wasn't home on my computer when I answered this morning, but here's what I had in mind with post processing: This might not be exactly what you would like or want, but it's just to give you an idea of the possibilities of post processing. This is one thing where a lot of photographers...
