Nice shots. Makes me sad to see an old British Sports car in that shape. I loved muscle cars for the grunt and I loved the British Sports Car just for the fun of driving... Triumph, MG, Morgan, TVR... loved driving all of them.

My daily shots are all of the same subject with different crops.

Cold it is today up here. But I took a few morning shots of the snow and it's shadow. A bit on the abstract side though.

Sounds like perfect novel title. Shadows in the Snow.

I've worked with my morning pics and tried this composite.

What to do on a stormy day... We got about 12 inches of fresh snow, so after the shoveling and snowplowing, I took pics of the cat that took control of our X-Mas tree.

And then a bit of practice with photoshop, trying to do a pencil drawing type of processing. Not really what I was after, but good practice after all.

Still life from our Pot pourri bowl. D7100, Tamron 17-50.

Coming or going to town.

Took the D700 out this morning with the 150 Sigma macro.

It's the older 35-70 2.8. I take it out when the weather is bad because it doesn't have much electronics inside if any (no VR, mechanical aperture levers, no focusing motor and switches) and if anything goes bad, my loss won't be as much as if I'd take the modern 24-70 2.8.

It's a great lens though I do find it a bit heavy for walkarounds.....

A few available light pictures from yesterday's X-mas dinner at my sister. Df 6400 iso with 35 Ai f2 and 50 1.8 D. Not so easy to manually focus when the light is so dim...
