Very Cool , Jason!Looks like lots more to catch up on! Lots of great stuff as usual!
Just got back from a shoot in NYC and thought I would sneak this one on the board...
Nice series, Corlan. Great results with that combo. Nice to see some things are worth doing the old fashion way. :thumbup:
Corian: My kind of town, My kind of people. My kind of shots.
Intoxicating Stuff Corian. Brilliant. :thumbup:
Corlan: +1, nice series. That is the supreme, swiss army knife of macros. Love the drop. Cheers, Matt.

Thanks my friends.Corlan, Your Making Me Want A 3rd Copy Of The 105VR! Why I Keep Trading This In Is Beyond Me! Sharp Set!
+1 Well said.Grandpa: Nicely said and photographed. Looks like the same pp that you'd described the other day. The substructure at the colosseum's amazing. it's like beneath a Broadway stage. Gladiator's popping up in a cloud of smoke and fire.

Hi Jorgen,I like the ice-cream man, Rayyan. Looks like he has stolen a few moments of pleasure.
I've been trying out the GH1 lately. Photos on the 4/3 forum. So far, my impressions of the camera are mixed. It has a couple of flaws that makes me long back to my Nikons. Ergonomics are important. Interesting situations last so short sometimes that having to push two buttons instead of one might make the difference between getting the shot or not. Then there's DR. Even the D80 easily beats it there, at least at low ISO. The Panasonic is great for video though. Nikon can't touch it there.
Oh, and I would seriously like to see some rumours about new Nikons. I'm ready for a new body, but would hate it if I bought a D90 or D300s and 18MP replacements with clean ISO 500,000 were out the week after.
+1 from here. Shades of Buddy Holly.Very Cool , Jason!
Your grandpa's right, Hamza. The stones know.Listen, I said to Hamza. Listen to what grandpa? asked Hamza.
To the stones, I said. They are talking to me.
Hamza thought his grandpa had gone mad. Hamza, I asked..do you know
what will happen in 1000 years?, 2000?, 5000?, 10000?.
I know Hamza, because the stones talk to me. They talked to me in Greece,
Turkey, Baghdad, Damascus, Egypt, Lebanon,Mexico, China. They were talking to me now.
We were in Rome..
What are they saying grandapa?
The same as all the others Hamza. I said.
I told Hamza about a people. They thought they were the richest. They were
the most powerful. The earth would split when the Roman Legions marched.
They thought they would rule forever. They were the gods.
The had the banners of power, invincible power. They had the science, they
had the culture, the had the might, they had the wealth and their centurions
marched with the strongest armies known to man. Mounted on the best
stallions. SPQR displayed proudly. They marched for Rome. They marched for Augustus Caesar. The world lived in their fear.
Invincible..the legions of Augustus Caesar. Invincible..like the Pharos of Egypt. The turn of a thumb. The power of life or death
What happened to them grandpa?, asked Hamza. What always happens Hamza, I replied. Just ask the stones. They know. Learn from the stones Hamza, I said. Hear the stones cry..
I picked up a small Augustus Caesar's stone and threw it back amongst the ruins, where it belonged.
Well, I am kind of gone for the time being. Personal challenges plus job assignments prohibits me from taking the time needed to make the photos I would have liked to make. Still, I do take photos, and I experiment with equipment to find a setup that will work for motor-racing as well as for weddings or product shots. I should buy a D700, right?Hi Jorgen,
nice to see you back already. From your previous post we thought you were gone for weeks, if not months. Haven't looked at the GH1 photos yet, but what you're saying makes me think... remember when photo cameras used to be smaller than their much bulkier video couterparts? Modern times are full of paradox, aren't they...
Hopefully the personal side is not too overwhelming.Well, I am kind of gone for the time being.

rayan: :salute:Matt: Thanks. Same pp. I just want Hamza to grow up to be a decent, honest and caring human being for his country and towards his countrymen.
Because then he would feel the same towards us. I couldn't ask for more. I would hold my head up high. I would have taught him well.
Jason: I am liking the 16-35. The VR is a plus. The DOF a minus.Matt... was really wanting your 14-24 on the shoot. I am still kicking myself for being overly cautious with my spending... Looks like you're kicking it with the 16-35 though. Miss the extra stop for DOF purposes at all?
Jorgen: I had a G1, GH1, and GF1. Great cameras. A lot of my favorite pics over the last 6 months were with them. The Panasonic lenses are quite good (and with adapters, you can use practically every other lens). I stopped using them whenI got the M9. So, I sold them all. Also, that made too many forums to follow! I was hoping that Leica would adopt the m4/3 format; but, instead we got the X1. The latest Nikon rumors suggest two new DSLR's this year. announcement in July. Yeah, sure!! Cheers, MattI like the ice-cream man, Rayyan. Looks like he has stolen a few moments of pleasure.

Didn't see this until now. Great photo. What camera/lens did you use?There were 8 of us. Ayesha, me, my 2 sons and 4 grandchildren. It was a long
flight. seemed much longer than the 4.5 hrs to Leonardo da Vinci. have you changed planes at Leonardo da Vinci. Don't.
The kids ( smallest ones ) had wanted to chase windmills. I too!!
We were headed to MAD. Better known to saner folk as the Madrid Barajas Airport.
Are they all your kids? No.
How many passports? 8.
5 different nationalities.? Not mine. Me and wife have the same nationality.
The others?
Senor, can you keep them for 2/3 weeks here. Por Favor Senor. Please.
I shall collect them on my way back.
No sir, against the rules. You brought them, you keep them.
Welcome to Madrid, sir. Gracias Senor. Very much Gracias.
p.s I have been told by Ayesha, it is 4 not 5 nationalities. Difficult to keep track. MAD, I tell you. MAD!
Rayyan: +1, +1. Nothing like real Italian gelato. :salute: The workers at the Galleria dell'Accademia were on strike the one time I was in Florence! Cheers, Matt
