Don: Very nice. The 135 and the M9 seem like a great combination. (insert salute here)I've been waiting for a new 135mm to arrive in order to take it on this trip and I'm still waiting. I was fortunate enough to find a used one in good condition that I was able to pick up at the very beginning of this trip. I've been using the used one to shoot landscape and now wildlife and really like it. Yesterday Sandy & I decided to take a trip from Jackson into Yellowstone and returning late yesterday afternoon we encountered this herd of bison which were all captured using the 135mm.
I'm sorry that I've been very lax in commenting on the great work here lately however our shooting days are close to 10 hours then we also have the computer time as well. We're averaging around 14 hour days so far and we still have at least 2-weeks to go. Today is our first real rest day although we are planning on going out this afternoon for evening light.
More image are or will be on our blog shortly.

Mark: Great composition! (insert thumbs up here) Duncan yo yo's! That really takes me back. My guess is that 50 years of technology hasn't had much effect on a yo yo?

Ed: Thank you! (insert smile here) You might have been in the restroom. :ROTFL:Pike Place Market. The musician in the hat was just enjoying the sitar player. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Matt.

1. Great light flare and "reflection smear". Like the low angle. License plate's amusing.
2. The tone suits the photo, Suitably nostalgic.
3. I did a search. You must be at the Mass. Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay. Nice juxtaposition of the flags and statue.
4. This one required some study. The texture of the trees and the bit of road and car make a nice B & W and could convey various meanings (which, I'll discuss with my shrink)
5. Graphically and color-wise, this one's perfect.
6. Excellent composition!
7. Nice isolation and look. Just enough grain.
Cheers, Matt
