Boy, am I out of synch. Lots of great photos posted. Thanks everybody for sharing.

Steve: The boy and dog shot is unique. It's a departure from your recent repertoire. The tight framing and the warm tone make it seem old, comfortable and familiar. I bet it elicits a positive, maybe unconscious, response from every male because we were that boy (Jungian archetype?).

The zoo/frog shots are just plain cool and a logical progression in your work following the MMA photos. What's next?

Corlan: Very nice orange. Sensual, as oranges go.

Cheers,

Those Flexify images are great fun. Post more!

Just back from the great, big Golf Tournament half an hour ago. Still dumping files down to my hard-disk, but I couldn't wait, so I opened one of the first ones. This is Henrik Stenson. Swedish guy, and ranked as number eight in the world, so I guess he's rather good :)

S5 with Nikkor 300mm f/4 and Tamron 1.4x TC @ f/5.6



Pretty funny to take golf photos with the S5. Every time someone hits the little, white ball, there was an orgy of click, clickedeeclick, click click around me. Unfortunately, the S5 can only say click, and before it repeats itself, the ball is already somewhere else, and the player has gone for lunch :LOL:

One photo usually does it though :)

Matt: Great "ruin porn". Thanks for sharing. It hasn't really been available in the Seattle area since the 70's and 80's. It's exotic like Jorgen's Thailand and Osman's Istanbul. Less populated, though; except by the mind. Cheers.

Thanks Matt.
Insightful comments above, by the way :)

As expected you're doing a fine job for this "first attempt" :thumbup:

Like the way you inserted the © here, it looks like he's playing half seated... or/and gives a "tutorial like" perspective on the stance.

Corlan: Gotta say, I really, really like that shot of the fruit. Great b/w, just beautiful, in fact. And excellent use of negative space.

Leica 77: Good to see you back around. Very fun shots; I particularly like the first one. And Corlan nailed it, with all the cold and snow around here, those shots make me realize that I need a vacation to somewhere warm!!

Jorgen: Love that moment you got there. His utter concentration (and, unlike me, he keeps his head down!); ball in the air, etc. And wonderful color. wow.

Thanks guys. The regular caddies of the golf club were there as well, helping out with the event. Skin colours are a bit off here, mainly due to excessive use of make-up :rolleyes:

I don't know how you suffer through these tough assignments, Jorgen! :rolleyes:

I guess someone's got to do it? :salute:

Ah... and the audience, lots of golf enthusiasts, was there. At least these three gentlemen.

Well... yes, it's tough. Did I mention that one of the main sponsors is Heineken? They did apparently anticipate the suffering, and compensates by serving free refreshments at the media center. Not a bad idea after a day hauling two heavy cameras around a golf course in 35 degrees C :p

Thanks LLoyd, glad you liked this quite simple shot.
Light was scarce but flowing gently.



....

Or the lack of artificial light... looks like it's ne of the time you want to point a couple of 1500 WS strobes right in their pretty faces :D

This one's got the classic, unmistakable Jorgen's touch :thumbs:

It's been snowing for last couple of days in Moscow so I thought I'd get out and catch that snowy weather (D3x, 24-70/2.8):
