just looked through the last pages, so many fine pictures here, like:
Corlan's Cathedral set and portraits, Hacker's Singapore F1, Graham's Jackson Lake Sunset, Matt's Prince Rupert and Eastern Washington sets, Steve's library set and Walk Softly, Jason's hound and Chicago streets, Jorgens cowbitt, Oliver's Nikon set (welcome Oliver), and those I may have missed to mention ...
and congratulations on your new Pike Place Market book, Matt :thumbup:

Thanks Steve, Don, er... Matt , Oliver, Steen. Much appreciated.
Matt i like the atmosphere of the B&Ws above. Sounds "your" version of the windmills are more modern than the ones we have here. Sturdier for sure, but you've certainly got gustier winds, too.
Steen, like the simplicity of the harbor photo. Lots of details, nice color palette, and there's always a sense of calmness in your shots... i like that, too.

The hour by the cathedral was well over that afternoon... on the way back home though, driving the small country roads i still got one last shot.
Guess i'm not used anymore to hang around too many people for too long, and noticing that lone tall tree from a distance offered another perspective. Had to walk in the freshly harvested fields for nearly 30 minutes to get the right angle, but enjoyed the ambient serenity, and silence.
Last shot of the day then...

Corlan, LOVE this! I also like that you mentioned the time you took to get that shot.
That part is never stated (not that it has to), but soooo many people think great shots just sort of happen. Some do, but most don't. It's that type of patience and diligence that makes the difference between a good shooter and a great photographer.

Steen: Thank you, sir!
Steen: I know, and they appear to be only there!only Jorgen has them
Steve: Thank you!
Steen: +1, they said it very well. :thumbup:
Corlan: Thanks.
The winds come up from the Columbia River Gorge and are pretty steady. The bridge across the river at that point can be dicey. I haven't been over there in a while, and, will have to go back when I have more time...At least get off the I-90!Corlan: Beautiful pano. :thumbup: You can feel the mist and the quiet. The aspect really accentuates the openness of the field and the isolation of the tree. The tone further softens the photo. Very relaxing to stare at on the screen. 30 minutes? You couldn't just take it from the road and move on?The hour by the cathedral was well over that afternoon... on the way back home though, driving the small country roads i still got one last shot.

Osman, Steen, Jason, Steve, Matt -i truly feel humbled by your kind words.
It was a lovely day.
Jason made a very good point, and that's definitely one aspect on which i have to reflect on and improve. Indeed if i was less the lazy type, i would've carried a tripod along.
(that is, if it was in the the trunk.)
) serious reference material, you always manage to sound full of tongue in cheek humor. Excellent
The shot is really lovely.
And to say the truth, it reconciles me a bit with the D3S. Till today and for a few exceptions, i've not been convinced yet. Probably my fault, and considering of course that super high iso performance's not among my personal criterias.
(and for some reason, it seems that the few people with this body wants to ply for a funkier processing than needed -or expected)
