@ Jürgen - I feel your pain, bro'. You have a lot more patience than I do.

my shot for the day -

I attempted to photograph Old Faithful in a different "light"--just as the sky was getting dark. Wanted to do a time exposure.

Got lucky and took this picture of a young mother giving her child a piece of cotton candy with what appears to be the grandmother laughing on the side.

In the next few days I will be posting a series of shots taken at a small stream which flows near my house. The first one is the pattern of clouds and leaves reflecting from the water surface and post-processed into modern art. All were shot with the 85mm f1.8 lens on a D600

Another group shot. The bride said she wanted a lot of greenery in the shots. I shot this from pretty far away and there was another couple getting their photos done. Typical "stand under the tree with fill flash" shots from their photographer. I overheard the bride asking "why is he so far from them?" I wish I would have shown her this shot.

I exported this one at 16 megapixels from the D800. I love the detail I'm getting with that beast.

Definitely not the most accommodating guy...

This sculpture is probably a good depiction of our history. The vast majority of us, ordinary people, through the sea of time have found ourselves under so many beating sticks.

Thanks SpraynPray, Pitchblack and others for your suggestions on the nervous bokeh of the Kingfisher.
I have tried the fieldblur option in PS to exhaustion, but was never happy with the result.
Maybe you can look at this and let me know what you think.

My suggestion is to look at this one here:

This gentleman just purchased a scone at the Washington State Fair and he has a look of joy on his face.

The Lamar Valley is one of Yellowstone's greatest features, an absolutely beautiful place. Here is my representation on a stormy September afternoon. It seemed that only a black and white image told the story the best:

Mike: I like it. Interesting to see you use the 70-200 f4 for portraiture. I did some portraits with mine and it was great to zoom to compose/crop as desired without so much moving around. The more I shoot mine the more I like it. I just used it to shoot a series of trees and clouds reflected on moving water and processed the images as manic Vincent van Gogh would have seen them. I will post that series on PAD over the next few days.
