Thanks! it makes all the bugbites bearable 
this was after we left the woods and had a walk on the boardwalk by the river in the last vestiges of sunlight
At the boardwalk a guy had a 10th anniversary Nissan 280ZX , in the sunset it looked awesome with the lens flare from my old lens, but I couldnt decide if I liked it better in Black and White or Colour, so here are both of them.
The B+W one has better definition on the headlight and the Z on the hood
The colour shot shows the golden sunset colours better and the reflections on the fender

+1! Lovely shot Robet!
. . . . . also another beautiful photograph of your daughter!
I love the black/white version, the sunstar caught my eye on the left and the BW version is just more appealing for me.

+1 Some beautiful shots of the wedding reception! The bride & groom must be happy that you have captured moments of their special occasion.
. . . . . unfamiliar with the one finger pointing dance and song (shout), is it a traditional number?

Great shot, appropriate for Memorial Day, thanks for posting.
Saturday mornings, roller derby rocked, there were lots of ice skating rings in Boston but roller skating rinks were few in number. Two of the wrestlers that I remember from the late 50's, early 60's were Haystack Calhoun and Killer Kowalski.

First of all thanks for your kind words.
I sold my my 35 cron and was fortunate enough to find a 35 lux to replace it. Both lens were in the 9 to 10 year old range from their serial numbers. The price difference reflected the same margin as if buying new.
The 35 cron I owned was a beautiful lens and is worth owning. I am not disappointed with the Lux at all and over the next several months I will see if the 35 lux was worth the upgrade cost when replacing the cron.
I did plan on being patient, then one appeared and GetDPI creed came upon me, "Buy Now Explain Later."
The good news is that when I sold my 35 cron it was a break even deal after owning it about a year and I am hopeful that the Lux will prove to retain its value as we are seeing today.

Thanks for the comments on the previous set ... here are some from a roller derby event I went to today ... very challenging but fun to shoot ...

nice ROller derby shots
+++++5! Shiro, Super shots! . . . . . looks like a much tougher spot for the girls when they take a tumble . . . . hard wood floor in the rink compared to the asphalt in a parking lot.

All of these pictures were taken at sunset or later. The person in the first photo is a friend and she really does have hair that purple, you usually just have to catch it in the right light to see it shine.
+++3! Wonderful set of photographs! #1 & 5 were my favorites.
Love the color and the smooth bokeh with the portrait shot and the B&W stage shot with fireworks in the background was outstanding!

John, thanks for the Indy 500 coverage, some wonderful shots, obviously you had the run of the place!A few from yesterday's Indy 500.
I'm trying to master some traditional manual techniques with my M9, and for the first time used an external finder (35mm), hyperfocal focusing, and manual exposure with the Sunny 16 Rule. I really enjoyed shooting that way. A little difficult with changing light situations, but I'll keep at it.

. . . . . that is a new look for a Izod shirt. Brand name across the chest and both sleeves, I'll be on the lookout next time I'm at Macy's . . . . .

Kewl test shots, Matt. I tend to shoot things on or around my desk a lot as well. So much so that when Mimi noticed your shots, she actually thought they were mine... she's seen shots so that hurricane bulb blower (well, one like it) before.
++2!
The B&W shot is my favorite, lovely bokeh . . . . .
. . . . . perhaps a new thread dedicated to desk objects?
btw, is the 75/2 a new pick up?

Peter, I have seen a lot of inflatables around Green Lake but most of them are in the water!

Lloyd: Thanks! I think the girl realized that their props were open to some, uh, amusing interpretations. When I spotted them, all I could think of was a certain scene from the movie "Airplane." :ROTFL:
