    Today's Pic (not 365-2011 but maybe close)

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Well, since I don't seem to be doing too well with abstracts, I'll come back with real people and pianos. Here's today's contribution. Went to work for a friend I had known a long long time ago seems like in another life.

    Today's Pic (not 365-2011 but maybe close)

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) I had to resort to shooting while driving to get this shot. I took a few and this one was the more organized one.

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Anything will make a pic. When in a slump, I'll take usual objects and try stuff with it. So, here is today's trial.

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) A little bit out of synch, inspiration hits a low, so I decided to play with shadows.

    Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D

    Here's another with the 85 1.8 taken with the D7000. Nice sharp lens but for inside portraits it might be a little tight depending on the size of the studio.

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Yes Jen, I found the tree by the river yesterday. Today is another story well represented by my daily shot. We're getting Irene's tail up here and it's just dark rainy and windy day. No major damage so far but we're supposed to get the worst of it...

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Looks like summer is coming to and end in my heck of the woods. I hope all of you that will be facing the coming storm will be safe.

    Today's Pic (not 365-2011 but maybe close)

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Didn't have time to process and post my shot for yesterday so here it is. Nothing but a house being installed on it's foundation. Funny that I left for work and there's nothing, come back and a house is almost completed there…

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Thanks Helene and Pete for the kind comments. Today's shot is " Keep Dreaming" Not my back or front yard, but in my neck of the woods.

    Walk in the park

    What Rick was saying I agree with. The fact that the spider was in the shade shouldn't stop you from making an interesting picture. This is where post processing is necessary if you want to get results. This is one thing I always tell my friends who want to get into photography: "Take time to...

    Bird

    Your shots could benefit some post processing. They seem to lack saturation and contrast for my personal taste. Your's might vary. Here is the correction I would have done to the duck. For the pelican, I don't see how the vignette improves the shot. It leaves no room around the subject and is...

    Portrait opinion ?

    You're getting warmer and warmer Curt. I much prefer this composition and the expression is more portrait like too. You need to give it a lot more light though or PP. Great improvement over the last ones. I gave it a little more light

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Not much research today. I just went in the field in the back of my house to capture these little fruits from a tree I have no idea how it's called (now is that a sentence or not…;) )
