    @Squamish: Superb placement of shallow DOF in this portrait.
    @ZSChow: nice capture of the bleakness of a harvested field.

    On to more winter here, too, with a train at a level crossing:

    What happened to your 300mm, PB_PM?
    The mount is warped (according to Nikon), and from time to time the AF-S motor makes an awful noise like fingernails being dragged across a backboard. Obviously the latter issue makes it less than suitable for bird shooting!
    If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.

    @Meinrad : Thanks :) That was the last day the snow was around, it's all melted now.
    What happened to your 300mm, PB_PM?
    The mount is warped (according to Nikon), and from time to time the AF-S motor makes an awful noise like fingernails being dragged across a backboard. Obviously the latter issue makes it less than suitable for bird shooting!
    Any chance that's the AF-S motor on it's way out? I keep hearing horror stories of AF-S 17-35. 28-70, 80-200, and 300/4s squealing and whining, then outright failing not soon after.

    For today. I might make it a point to try shoot a month in B&W, should I?

    @ZSChow I don't think it was dieing, it's been squealing for well over a year now. It only seems to happen after I haven't used the lens for a while. In fact it started after I had the body repaired by Nikon 2011, due to a drop. Makes me think some dust got into the focusing gears when they were fixing it.

    ^^ Early last year I ordered a Nikkor 300mm f/4 from B&H and I did enjoy it for a couple of weeks but it squealed during autofocus enough to cause me to return it. Maybe it sat on the shelf too long. I just was afraid of dealing with an issue a year later.

    Not been around for a while and only lookes at this last page, but what a great set of shots.
    All on this page are good but the ones that stand out for me are.

    Golf - A great study, love the verticals and the textures
    Gab - Nice piece of fine art
    RX4Photo - hmmm, possibly one of the most stunning portraits I have seen in a long time, that deserves to be seen
    msmoto - great colours and PP (if indeed it has been processed?

    Here is mine a B&W taken this morning

    Wow, big cat!

    Cool horses Bland!

    Here's my shot for today- one of my favorite shots I took during this vacation. Too bad some of the heat and exhaust from the jet obscured the top of the shot. I still think it's cool.

    Thank you Golf, OnTheRopes, and all visits to my Flicker page. I'm trying to do a little more portraiture and practice some of the techniques that I've read so much about.
