I remember the bird photo... your best one of the year, incredible colours, can I say it even seems like drawing art?
this one deserves to go on to National Geographic cover.

And... I'm sad for the guy. Sad

Frog also very good capture in difficult situation. Also probably behind a glass isn't it?

Your daughter's portrait proves why I keep repeating that you are the best portrait taker in this group, and that you really have a talent for making your models feel comfortable and look natural. Which is in my opinion the most difficult aspect of taking portaits - much more than any technical aspect.

Nikkor 105/2.5... (June 28th, 2007)
Folding Chairs @ the Farmers Market. (D100 & MF Nikkor 105/2.5 @ ISO200, f/11, 1/30)
I had just received the 105/4 micro and was shooting both lenses against the same subject for a comparison.
They both rendered about the same. This is one of those shots.

Jupiter 37A... (Jan 27th, 2007)
Silhouette Sunset. (D70 & MF Jupiter 135/3.5 @ ISO200, f/3.5, 1/100)
My wife has an abundance of patience when it comes to my eye and wanting to catch a scene.
Stopped @ dusk, back in Jan 07', to catch this scene.
What I do recall about that location is that it was cooooold!

Nikkor-H 28/3.5... (Feb 17th, 2007)
Stone Cold. (D100 & Nikkor-H 28/3.5 @ ISO200, f/8, 1sec)
I was waiting for the wife to finish a meeting @ the Seattle Convention Center when I spotted this Nobel figure. (statue)
He was rock steady for the whole shoot, and didn't blink an eye...

Nice shots, Attila and Chris! Here's my three, from summer:

Tamron SP 2.8-3.8/35-80mm zoom at f8

Super-Tak 135/3.5 at f5.6

Olympus 35RC, Fujicolor 400 film scanned at 2400 dpi on my new Epson

I plan on doing a LOT more film this coming year!

Ballu nice shots! The one of the space needle is fun. You are lucky to have it. The ferris wheel down at the bottom will be removed soon. It was put in place in 1962 for the worlds fair. Now the city of Seattle will remove the fun park from Seattle center because it loses to much money. The space needle of course gets to stay. Cool

Wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing.

I love the Cat by Katastrofo and Seymore´s Chairs and .....

I can not live up to this standard but her we goes anyway.

Pentacon 50mm/1.8

Zenitar 16mm
I love the light on this one.

I am not certain if this is Super-Takumar 50mm/1.4 or Zeiss Pancolar 50mm/1.8
