Peter: Loved the portraits.
Jono: Never a tractor seemed so attractive before, nevertheless it can be no match for the beautiful driver.

Woody, your Ecuador series were wonderful. I'm rather sad that they have ended. Maybe a few more that you may have overlooked?;)

Some HEAVY processing (lightroom 3 has some fun presets) and one lucky catch when I was petting my dog on a walk I heard a bird tweet and turned around to see this little guy.

I think a 50/1.1 would be a fun toy as well
Thought I doubt my eye ability / camera calibration enough to use it in close range head-and-shoulders shots.
I think it would be splendid for subject isolation at distance.. as we've seen some other users in this thread do.

Lloyd, I have always liked images of historic mining areas...old rusted "stuff"/old rotting wood, etc etc. Nice work. Colorado is filled with areas similar to this one...hope i get a chance to photograph some this summer and fall. Eleanor

Three or four years ago, when I was on the road, Mimi went for a "little" weekend ride with some friends (just 104 miles through the mountains... rain, snow and wind for their trouble). Of course, she had a blast.

They took a little side trip into a canyon which is home to a "ghost town", a mining town which produced more than $13,000,000 of silver from 1870 to 1900. She told me about it, and had mentioned several times since that she thought I would find it interesting.

Monday was a holiday here, and when plans with friends fell through, she suggested we visit the place, and then do a ride on roads in an area I had never experienced.

Turns out that it's not really a "ghost town". The large mines closed long ago, but small scale mining operations continue, and the town was never completely abandoned, and there are still a dozen or so full-time residents, together with some summer homes. There remains a lot of evidence of its former glory, and I was able to capture a little. I hope to get back there to photograph more in the near future.
