Great capture Marcel
Well thanks for the comment Dave. The colors are just beginning but it's the best time since there are still some greens. After a while, depending on winds, the trees get naked and the landscapes duller.
I'll do my best to make you Southeners jaleous.
Very nice shot, really like the colors.
Sept 24th.
Well, this something new for me. I had to dig some old family pictures for my sister's and her husband's 60th birthday coming up and I found stuff I had all forgotten about. So I took the sigma 105 and hand held pictures and negatives and slides in front of it since I don't have a scanner. I had to use iso 2500 for some with the D600.
This first picture was not taken by me but by my mother. It's me and my sister when I was 4 and she was 3.
This is a model I shot in 1973 with my Pentax 6x7 and ektachrome. I just shot through the transparency in front of a window. I'm quite surprised of the result.
And finally, another slide copy of the dog we had for 17 years. May it rest in peace in dog's paradise.
So, technically these are old photos, but they were re-photographed and processed today.

Sept 25th, pano shot done with D700 and 35mm f2 AI lens. This river runs through Sherbrooke and is the place I used to waterski. The building on the right was built for the 1967 World Waterski Championship. I was a runner for Longines at that time. They would have film stations with markers in front of each camera and they would film the jumpers, process the film (B&W), I would then run to the triangulating station where they'd calculate the length of every jump.

Marcel, this is one outstanding shot!!!
Thanks Glenn, Jeff and Pat. I guess there is an element of being at the right place just at the right time. If I would have gone to the restaurant just a half hour later I would have missed it. Maybe I'm in synch with the universe… or it's just plain luck. But it was indeed spectacular.
Sept 27th piano person of the day. First shot I took I had forgotten that I was set in manual. It was severely underexposed it was black. But, with a D700 raw file, this is what I was able to get out of it:
1/250 f2.8 iso 2000 85 1.8 G
From this:
to this:
Then in aperture mode, 1/50, f2.8 same iso and lens.

Very much appreciated, Marcel.
I used to go swimming in that canal as a kid. And my buddies and I used to run around inside old Fort Chambly. It was totally open back then. In that first picture, my old grade school (St. Stephen's) was right next to the canal, and some of us used to skip school and go swimming in the early summer month of June, during exams! lol Ah, the memories. Thanks again, Marcel.
I agree about the fox. It was just wandering in broad daylight. I called the wildlife services and they basically told me that a lot of them have to move to populated areas and that their state just relates to the lack of good nutrition they have to face. I find that very sad..
