Nice Photos.

Lovely misty morning earlier - out with the dogs -

In the mutha in-law's garden, quite dreamy I think:

heres some pics from my turkish holiday.














































































We had a great holiday and it truly is a beautiful country.
Regards, Scotty

That looks like a lovely spot Scotty. Where is it exactly?

Hi Tony,

We were based in Olu Deniz and thats where the aerial shots were taken from a para glider - the bay which is called the blue lagoon is beautiful. We were fortunate to have a rental car for 2 weeks so travelled up and down the south coast (med) some 250 miles west and east.
We found some lovelly spots and spent the day wherever and whenever we felt like it, which is the way i like to holiday - total freedom.
regards, Dave

Taken up near Steel Rig, Hadrian's Wall, last week:

Can we have a truce on the size of the images being posted - say a max of 600 to 800 pixels also try keeping the file size down to less than 400 kb.
This would still allow good quality pics to be displayed and would have better chance of seeing the images on the screen without having to scroll them from side to side.

Now back to our normal programming

Sorry about that, got a bit carried away with the options in my Photobucket 'Pro' account. And no, I don't use a 42" monitor!

I hiked the West Coast Trail last week.

Tug leaving False Creek this morning

Nice shot.

I notice from your profile that you have both digital and film photo gear. Are you finding yourself increasingly drawn in one direction between these?

Peter

Dusk on the Tay last night.

I don't really shoot film much anymore at all. I like the convenience of digital and the ability to have "all film speeds" in the camera at once.

Having said that, I bought a few rolls of Velvia the other day with the intention of getting my F5 back out. I'm planning a day or two around the city, foreshore and parks as the weather starts to turn - just to document my "neighbourhood". I've ordered a new 14-24 f2.8 Nikkor that will work best with 35mm rather than the D300 - I can't wait to try it out!

I have the older 17-24 afs which is a fantastic lens in itself. Dropping down to 14mm must have been an interesting challenge for the designers while still managing to retain f/2.8 at all focal lengths!

That new lens could prove expensive - if you like the 35mm film perspective, you may feel tempted to switch over to the D700!!

Peter

Yeah, it's admittedly a bit wasted on the DX-format D300 (there are definitely cheaper options), but I like to think that I buy lenses for life. I guess I see a "D4" or something like that in the future. The D700 is fantastic, but I doubt it is a big-enough step from the D300 for me to justify. Who knows, though?

Not my photography, but my speakers anyway! Royd Minstrel SE models. And only about two feet between them to eliminate the soundstage!

I agree! I will be waiting for the D800(or whatever they call it)before replacing my D300.

Only buying FX lenses from now on as well....

Anyone for a spot of ice caving?

The new opera in Oslo.

Bazz,

I reckon Fox Glacier, South Island New Zealand

Scotty, Adrian, it's Franz Josef glacier on New Zealand's south island.

An amazing place, a few hundred metres from the base of the glacier there's a subtropical rain forest. And yes, there were people (braver ones than me) wandering about in that ice cave.
