Playground (Day 23), I looked into more public space, this one I reject in the series: The responsible of the kids came straight to me when she saw the camera to ask I would not take pictures of the kids. I explained what I was doing and she was OK with it. However I was chased by an angry...

Little bird (Day 22), I missed the first bunch when I was tanking, so I went back to the place I first tried with the stacked teleconverters, but better positioned this time. No birds at first, but they showed up quite quickly. Nikon D7000 VR 70-200mm F/2.8G 550mm F/10 1/100s ISO 1250 I...

Public space (Day 21), I decided a month ago to participate in a local photo-competition on public space, till now I did not really go out an take pictures for it, I did on Wednesday. This one I do not keep in my selection, works on the left make that I can not get the frame I want, on the right...

Fiat 500 (Day 20) another quick shot, with the bad weather and a lot of other activities did not come to think long about the picture today: Edit: strangely in edit I see it, uploading has been strange the last days.

Mining tool (Day 19), took a quick picture in the last daylight.

Renault stand at car show (Day 18), I loved this stand not particularly the cars on it though:

Statue (Day 17), I had a long day without pictures and I just came out of a parking lot and took the first interesting thing. Reading about the man depicted, it seems he was for competition and free enterprise more then intellectual property, quite a controversial figure. I actually think...

CLS with moon (Day 16), there is a trend, I tried some other things, but the choice was this one: The reason I bought the Kenko 1,4 was to use it on not Nikon gear as well, strangely this one (and I seem to like it): Nikon D7000 11-16mm F/2.8 22mm(that is on 16mm) F/4 (that is full open)...

The man seems serious in the review The low position actually is something I would recommend for wide angle car photography, however you can do it also with a bean bag with some cropping. Not my picture and just to show the angle, I would not use a tripod on wide angle with this light:

Bentley emblem (Day 15), was a kind of joke when I saw it this morning, but ended to be the picture. The Bentley cabrio seems to be a standard car (it is not, but you do see them around).

Bentley emblem (Day14), I wanted to give an emblem shot a little more, I came to the conclusion it needs to include depth:

Water tank (Day 13): When I got out of the car, I hear a playful bunch and it seems they were not shy, so I could show the quality of the TC´s: I went closer (but seem to have missed the settings on those) so all pictures are from about the same position: 200mm (no TC, sadly I failed to...

Frozen puddle (Day 12), I was looking for wildlife, sadly I missed the superb fox, since my camera was not ready when it jumped up to escape. Remember several days this week it was over 12deg centigrade, here in the afternoon there was still ice. an other story, I choose a nature area to go...

Teleconverters (Day 11), these 2 are waiting for a 500mm to adopt, any orphans are welcome. I did the things you should not do: - take a picture with stacked teleconverters - take a picture at ISO 25200 - take a 560mm picture handheld (with VR II though) in low light - take a picture with...

Rose Bud (Day 10), while it should be winter, this rose caught my attention on Friday.

Bus (Day 9), I had seen this before at a car race, when I saw it at this furniture store I thought good contrast old and new: Then a bit later tried a 6400 ISO shot, comes out quite OK for screen use:

Leaf. Worked on the project of yesterday again, with the TC-2.0 I can stay quite far away from animals of this size, promises for the summer. Nikon D7000 VR 70-200mm F/2.8G 400mm Focus Mode: Manual F/8 1/160s ISO 100 Sun, tripod and focus rail helped a lot. Takes some stress away. But...

Sky, somehow I like technical installations with blue sky and clouds: So today, when winter should be starting to get really hard, we had a lovely early spring day, sunny and 12 degr centigrade. My main experiment was macro with the TC-20E III and it seems great, just need to take more time...

Walking shoes. Crazy experiment, still a bit soft as picture, very low (harsh) light and about 12m of distance: Nikon D7000 VR 70-200mm F/2.8G 400mm F/8 10s ISO 100 So the story: 1 Jan my walking shoes fell apart, so I bought some new ones. Decided to take a picture, but still...

Birds, always makes me think of Hitchcock. Missed a day again, just was too buzzy.
