Well, I find it very difficult to manually focus with all my DSLRs. Even with the 55 1.2, I have to rely to the focusing confirmation light, and even then, I get a lot of rejects because of focusing error.I'm very tempted to go out and get the new 50 1.4G just to get the autofocus with it. I'll...

And here's mine. For B&W portraits, I strongly believe that sepia adds a lot to the warmth of the image.

Day 48, feb 17th 2012 Quick shot of flowers I had bought for Valentine's gift. Since the color wass a little harsh, I tried a b&w version. Used a bit of diffused glow from CS5.

Day 47, feb 16th 2012 Finally took the camera out today as I had some time between 2 tunings for a show. First thing I saw in the parking lot was the "Mira" van. This is an organisation who trains dogs for the handicapped. The trainor has 8 dogs that he takes in the city every day. This...

Day 46 of 366 2012 Grey winter day outside so I resorted to taking pictures of available things in the house. Here is a composite of discarded piano parts and tools that I combined in CS5.

Day 45, feb 14th Today's harvest was kind of lean. Only took 3 exposures and had forgotten to change the focus to S so the camera refocused on the piano for 2 of the 3 shots… So, I used a texture to hide the out of focus stuff… Well, one's got to do what one's got to do. :(

Day 44, feb 13th 2012 OK, you can accuse me of being early and lazy today. As I was doing some accounting on my PC, I noticed my desktop picture from Japan. I took this pic with my very first digital canon elph. It had 2.3 mg of resolution. I was having fun with this little thing when I saw...

Day 43, feb 12th 2012, This is Chouchoune, my partner's cat, taken with the D700 and 17-35 f4. No watermark since I'm not at my computer for now. I just wanted to get my daily pic out so I can do something else with my lovely Line :)

Day 42 feb 11th 2012 Another day at work, another available light portrait of a person with his piano. D700, 105 2.5 MF @ 5.6, 1/100, iso 400

Here is my take on this picture. First, let me just say that he seems to be a wonderful dog. I took the liberty of playing around your file just a bit to give you an idea of what could be done with post processing. I cropped it into a square format, burned the surrounding, made a gaussian blur...

My grand daughter, niece's daughter and son were having a blast on my sister's piano last weekend.

Day 41 feb 10th. Just some rails going nowhere.

Day 40 feb 9th 2012

Today you get 3. First is a couple which piano I hadn't seen for over 9 years. It took half a day. The other customer just had a hard time with me taking pictures:

feb 7th, day # 38Today's shot is not too "Fancy Artsy", just a dead bug that I found on a piano key. This piano is in the shop for a total refurbishing.D90, sigma 105 macro f2.8 @ f18, 2sec. iso 500 And while I'm at it, here's what it looks like in sepia ;)

Thanks Helene, now, honestly, I hadn't thought about B&W… but now that you've mentioned it… I just had to. I think I like it even better. Let me know about you.

I just went to nikon rumors and was reditected to a brazilian website that has (by mistake or so they say) released pictures of the D800. Seems it should be official tomorrow morning.

Early morning, Judith was pretty happy with the "nemo" hat I got her. D90, 50 @1.8, 1/15s iso 800

Day 36 feb 5th (shot yesterday) Cousins with musical interest:

Try not to look into these eyes...
