Two last ones before I quit for the night

The sign says "Rue Fermée" Closed street. I wonder why???

I wonder if this tree will survive.

 

[Scott Murray]

Great shots Marcel.

April 16th, our city is under water and I got back downtown to take a few pictures of the river overflowing. I only have time to post this one for now, but water is moving fast.

Oh wow! I have been out of touch for a while... That is massive... and it can be very damaging... hope all fairs well Marcel!

April 26th, visit to the nursery until spring really springs in.

It's been a while since I posted here. I guess there is a life outside Nikonites.

I experimented with slow shutter speeds and intentional motion blur. I find the results to be interesting, not award winning, but interesting stuff happening in this shot.
D7000, 300 AF-D f4, 1/8s hand held.



And I'm getting to find out how hard it is to do bird shots, even from my feeder. Dull low light didn't help me since I had to use iso 1600.

The motion blur shot looks like I should pull out my 3D glasses.

May 8th

I had time to take a slow walk into the woods nearby with my Sigma 105 macro and the D600. Iso was 1250 and aperture around f8. As you can see, this lens is stellar IMHO.

100% crop of the previous

Nice shots. I've got nothing but high praise for my Sigma 105mm

May 13th.

With spring, life's coming up from the ground. To me, just seeing what Mother Earth can bring up makes me believe in a Higher Power.

Few macros with the D600 and Sigma 105. Iso 1000.

 

[Pretzel]

All 3 great, but that 3rd shot is a jaw-dropper! And I agree with ya... all the tiny little details, gotta be a big Hand up there somewhere conducting this orchestra!

 

[RockyNH_RIP]

Great shots (again!!) marcel! I so enjoy seeing your work ... thanks for taking the time to share with us!

[Marcel]

Thanks guys. I had to do some more because these things won't last for long. iso 400 this time.

 

[Marcel]

Sorry, but I can't seem to stop myself from being marveled by this new Life coming up from the ground. It's still quite a Mystery to me.

Great Shot Marcel! I tried some raindrops yesterday and was not satisfied... seeing yours, I was glad I through mine in the BIN. Will head back to try again!!

May 25th, we planted the garden today and will hope it won't freeze... The wild apple tree is beginning to boom and nature will never cease to amaze me.
