From my trip to North Carolina last week.

This Hydrangea is in my front yard. I thought that it was dead last year, but it's making a comeback this year. WM

Re: D90 pics A water curtain shot from the ski tourney last weekend.

My first attempt at an HDR/Tonemapped sunset. WM

I walked into a camera shop today, just to see what they had, and had a great conversation with the sales clerk. I found a new strap that I'd been looking into purchasing, as well as a compact flash card holder. I also looked at the Nikkor 70-200 VR II they had in stock, but they didn't have...

I've been asked to shoot a water skiing tournament this weekend (both days). The one rule I'm informed of is that I can't ride in the boat, so I'll be shooting from shore. It's about 70-90 feet from where I'll shoot from to the buoys on my side of the channel. Does anyone have any advice on...

Re: D90 pics This is one of the last shots I took this evening. D90 & 300mm f4.5. ISO 640, 1/90 sec, f4.5. And a bit of Lightroom...
