I have a bunch of these. Your second shot makes the best out of bening 1/2 sec late. I like what you did, thanks.

Haven't been here in a while, but caught this picture of a not-shy-at-all hawk in our backyard and I wanted to share. He was scoping out the bushes for bird prey and did finally get lucky. I'm just not so good at those action shots...but I did try....Please post any you may have..would love to see them
Dawn, the second one is great, sharp and happily timed. Fine work, thanks.

No clouds this morning a little fog on the ground looked like a good day for B&W
Good choice, sometimes fog just begs to be rendered in B&W. These are very nice.

The light was working for you yesterday. These exposures look just right for this light. Thanks for showing them.

Is there any ego involvement in starting a topic that will "ignite a firestorm"? Just asking. 5-6 pages....pretty good

The tight shoot of the slumping roof is really nice. Glad you saved the shots, too bad the beautiful old barn was not saved. Another victum of pole barns and tilt-ups.

I agree that was on interesting period in Mexican history. These old photos are great. Can you just download from the National Archives?

I just happned to catch this last segment of CBS evening news last night. It was about a Nanny in Chicago who took photos but never shared them with any one. Go to CBS evening news and see some of these amazing photos.

I think it was too. This is a powerful story and a reminder to all of us to consider why we do what we do. I think "joy and personal reward" is the ultimate fuel of artistic pursuit. Nothing less could have kept her at it... at such a high level for so many years. This story touches my heart.

An old friend of mine was shot in his F2 when he did an AP stint in Vietnam back in the early 70's. The camera had a interesting crease on it, but still functioned perfectly. Nikon offered him 3 or 4 F3's, but he declined the offer.
And so he should have. You want to keep a thing like that close to you. Hell of a story, kind of gives literal meaning to "bullit proof"

Hey Robin thanks for your comments, I think the club we all want to be in is the 'learning to take better pictures and having fun club', no camera brand obsessions, no cults and definitely no kool-aid. I looked at some of your posts, you have been a charter member of this club way before I showed up. You do nice work.
