Thanks Helene for the nice comment. Comments are always welcome and mean more to me than the "likes".

I went to a nationfest in Sherbrooke yesterday with the D7000 and just the 55 1.2. It's interesting to not have a zoom and good practice. The manual lens does NOT have a big dof at 1.2 unfortunately for me, but I ended up with a few keepers. Here's one of my favorite:

Did this HDR last night and this will be my shot for tomorrow as I have to go out and get some butter for my bread :)

I love the landscape shot. Absolutely stunning! The little boy shot is very interesting . . . the guy in the background resembles and alien :)

nLast night I was coming back from work and as I approched the railroad crossing the lights started flashing. I as quickly as I could took the camera out and just fired away. The shutter speed was a little too slow to freeze the train a little, and I could have used the flash with the back curtain synch (but not from inside the car ;) ) but I kind of like the effect I got with a little PP.

She has a hard time believing me that she's very photogenic… Maybe these pics will convince her.

Absolutely beautiful shot, Marcel! She should be very happy with this!

. . . and I like your train shot . . . reminds me of the Twilight Zone :)

The train shot is very interesting. The portrait is very nice, you really made her eyes pop.

I went to the mall with the baby… the "lens baby composer" that is. I asked for permissions to shoot and here are some images that I find interesting. Hopefully you will too.

Work day, piano with person pic. She was very happy with her new (90 years old) Steinway "M". Playing it made her smile. ;)

Really interesting "lensbaby" shots. I always wondered what they were for. Nice effect!

Very nice portrait . . . you captured her happiness perfectly!

Last night's walk by the river. Too bad I'm not eligible for the challenge this week.

Today's picture is my second trial to get the mood from under that big tree by the river. HDR 4 images.
