    We have been watching this plant for over a month now. It is peculiar since it blooms only at night and the flowers only last one night. Well, last night we got 2 flowers that opened up within 5 minutes. It was quite spectacular to watch. Enjoy,

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Work day today, tomorrow will be my day off. Here's my stuff from a great canadian pianist rehearsal. Nice thing about the D7000 "quiet mode" is that I can shoot all I want and I'm not disturbing the artists. D7000, iso 4000, 1/400 @2.8, 70-200...

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Yesterday's family reunion gave me the opportunity to work with the 55 1.2 manual lens. In almost darkness, I found it a little hard to focus. But the softness of this lens at 1.2 makes out of focus shot still nice to look at. Here's my cousin's...

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Today's going to be yesterday's shoot. Thanks to Anthony who suggested the "maquette" effect. I had a shot perfect for this, or so I though. And a wider angle just for fun.

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) A few more taken tonight that I can't resist posting. I tried HDR like Chris but couldn't get the result I was looking for with Photomatix. I didn't have a tripod so the mountains would not register. Nice shot Chris!

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Yesterday was busy resting and reading so this is the only worthy shot I can post. Today might bring better inspiration.

    Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Piano bass strings with the 55 @1.2 does have a certain effect that I hadn't seen in a while from a lens. I only had iPhoto to work with so haven't finish all my usual adjustments.
