Jason, I just sent you an e-mail regarding the 16-35mm f4.

Matt, those Eagle shots are fantastic. We're supposed to have an Eagle breeding ground a couple hours from where I am....but I haven't found it yet....but hope to soon. Wonder what the differences are between the Canadian Bald Eagles vs. the American ones...and please, no cracks about how they play better hockey :)

Dave (D&A)
Dave: Thanks. In these eagle's case it's about 15 miles, then they'd be in Alaska. No difference. My niece's boys live in Calgary and they'd insist that these are Canadian Bald Eagles. I don't think eagles can play hockey? :LOL: Cheers, Matt.

Jorgen: Thanks. Strong graphic design photo! Does toyota sell diesels in Thailand? Cheers, Matt

Thanks Matt. Toyota doesn't sell many big trucks here, but all Toyota one-ton trucks sold anywhere in the world, even in Japan, are made in Thailand. 60% of all vehicles sold in this country are one-ton trucks. The one in the photo is older though, probably early sixties, but the owner didn't know.

Matt, it's difficult but always a pleasure trying to catch with your excellent output. The first eagle was probably the best shot I've seen for ages! Thank you for sharing.
Best,
Osman

My Office Manager invited my wife and I to a play that she was in. Dress Rehearsal was tonight for "friends and family". I brought my new D3s with the 24-70mm f/2.8. Before it started, the woman who was in the play volunteered my services to photograph it! What the heck. Here's a few of them. My hat's off to people who can photograph plays/rock concerts/etc. Very uneven light! Easy to blow out highlights on one half of the stage and underexposed on the other. Slow shutter speeds and fast movement! The D3s and lens were up to the challenge, even if I wasn't. I shot in aperture priority (f/2.8 mostly) with an auto ISO high of 12,800 and min. shutter speed of 1/50s.

The play was a raunchy (real raunchy!) burlesque done "Capital Hill" style (Seattle's alternative art/rock/gay neighborhood.. pretty much anything goes... offend everybody). Here's a few of the photos. Critique/hints/advice/camera settings - all appreciated. Cheers, Matt

Jorgen: You're welcome. Thanks for the info. I'm hoping for your critique /advice on what i just posted from tonight.

Matt, it's difficult but always a pleasure trying to catch with your excellent output. The first eagle was probably the best shot I've seen for ages! Thank you for sharing.
Best,
Osman
Osman: Thank you. Much appreciated.

Some more pics from 9th May (D3x, DC 135/2):

Alex: Excellent photos! The slightly vivid color suits the subjects well. The colors of the Russian Orthodox Church are incredible. It must have been newly painted? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Matt

I think the difference is that the Canadian eagles line their nests with maple leaves. :D

These are beautiful images, Osman. I love the effect of the tree's shadow in that second one.

Hey friends. We've reached the magic 100 pages number our fearless leaders, Jack and Guy established as the limit for threads on the forum.:lecture: (The current Leica Digital M thread being an exception, as it was the result of two threads combined.)

Sooo... not wanting to run afoul of the powers that be, :D I've started a "New and Improved" Fun with Nikon Images thread here: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?p=210290#post210290

Please help me get it rolling!:thumbs:
