Thank you for that illustration. I always had wondered about the significance of the petal shape. I'm convinced of the need. I'll get one ordered.

Re: "Nikon not marking the colored paint optional." I'm still laughing...
Thanks for your comment.

I just bought a refurb Nikon 18-140mm lens. It did not come with a lens hood. Nikon recommends its bayonet HB-32 hood. Adorama sells them for $12.95 plus shipping. The question is of the many UHH users of this lens out there, how often do you shoot with the lens hood in place and do you think it is really needed? Much of my shooting will be with a circular polarizer mounted on the lens.

Wow Mike... to me numbers 1 and 2 are absolutely stunning in their color and simplicity. Kudos for once again showing that your eye for composition and timing the light is second to none.

Hi Mike,
I agree with the previous comments on #5, it is outstanding. I also love the ridge in #2. Really dramatic. Do you recall where that was taken?

Here is my version of cropping and resizing to 8 x 10 including border. I positioned my crop differently from those done by yourself and others. I gave more space to the left of the gentleman to create what I feel is a better aesthetic balance.

The comment about vibration that follows my comment about using a soft collapsible lens hood against the glass reminded me that the soft hood also helps neutralize vibrations.

Hi Mike,
Another hint for shooting through a window is to have a soft collapsible lens hood on your lens (like rubber) that you can easily place against the glass. It even allows you to angle the camera slightly.

Love the first two. You've taken what could have been a mundane subject and created each as a work of art.

A word of caution regarding using a 35mm for portraits. When using film, a 105mm was considered an ideal lens for portraiture since it allowed the photog. to maintain a suitable distance from the subject (no intimidation). With the 35mm you are going to have to get fairly close to the subject making them very conscious of the camera and you also may introduce some distortion. Perhaps (for portraits) the 50mm with its DX factor making it an effective 70mm, it would be a better choice. All depends on how often you are doing portraits.

Mike, you continue to show your mastery of achieving quality reflections in many of your images. I was intrigued by your comment on the 35mm gear used. Do you think that you would be able to achieve the same level of quality by cropping your full frame D800 digital images or would you have to get into stitching?

Are the dark image and the "OK" image both the exact same shot? I know this may sound too obvious but perhaps you are not used to shooting Raw format and what you are seeing is the raw image (which most probably needs some post processing) and its companion .jpg image (the .jpg is an auto-corrected image). Just a possibility.

Oh Mike,
The whole series is top notch but the Glen Highway shot is in a league by itself.

Your classified listing sounds like something I am looking for if still available. Can you advise the details on the 7100 please?

Thank you.
