Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Back to work, got another portrait of a piano person. I used the manual 55 1.2 @1.4 and it really threw the background piano out of focus.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Malorca was last year, this year was Hungary. More difficult to talk to people since most don't speak or understand english nor french... Such was the case with this shot. As I got into a public bus, there was this old lady with a bucket of ripe...

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) This I shot using the "lens baby" from my hotel room on the 7th floor. I liked the ethereal feel.

Sometimes simple works better. So here is my submission for this week's challenge.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Taken while strolling the shops in Vienna. B & W seemed to translate the mood better than color.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) this is an HDR of the walkway to the lake in Kesthely (hungary). This pic was taken the first night I arrived.

Not the right brand, mind you, but this was given to me as a promotional when I was shooting for the Montreal 1976 Olympics. I was with the other brand then. I've kept it as a souvenir but wonder how much it could get me if put on ebay.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Crappy rainy day again today, so I faked a safari in my living room :) This might be my last daily shot for a while as I'll be leaving tomorrow and I'm NOT taking a computer with me to upload my pics. You'll get to see them when I come back...

Maybe some of you know this, but the "Quiet" mode of the D7000 can help to improve sharpness. Here is my "non scientific" test. 2 shots hand held with VR on at 1/25s f8 with the 18-200 @ 200mm. Both are 100% crops at 1250 Iso. This can give you an idea of the effect of the rapid mirror movement...

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) We went for a walk and were trying to get back before the clouds started to pour, but no chance. Good thing I had brought a plastic bag to wrap the cam. We ended up stranded under a tree and the people of the house invited us in and they drove us...

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) I'm putting shots in advance since I'll be gone for 2 weeks. I found this horse ring that is being rebuilt since it collapsed this winter due to heavy wet snow and wind, and in the field an old electric stove made by GM…
