    @ ggbutcher - have fun with your new toy. :)

    From the Illumination exhibition at the Morton Arboretum. Trying to get some decent shots; getting more blown highlights than I care to see in the series, so let me see if I can improve.

    Illumination 01p
    D7000, 12-24 @ 12mm, f/9, ISO 400, 10 sec, tripod
    - Ian . . . [D7000, D7100; Nikon glass: 35 f1.8, 85 f1.8, 70-300 VR, 105 f2.8 VR, 12-24 f4; 16-85 VR, 300 f4D, 14E-II TC, SB-400, SB-700 . . . and still plenty of ignorance]

    Per PitchBlack:

    "The biggest obstacle to creating really good color photographs is learning to see and correct differences in color balance. There is no easy way to do that that looks natural and it's all done with a wacom and patience."

    Amen!

    I mentioned at one point that I had a shoot with a male model. It was challenging at first because I kept thinking of ways I normally shoot girls which primarily didn't work. So here's the start of that series.

    Another night one from Durham.
    If you look close you can see the little dipper in the upper left corner.

    I was under the impression that our Photo A Day was to be taken with Nikon equipment but I have seen others using other gear so here is one of mine. Hasselblad 500CM, 80mm f/2.8 C T* Planar and Kodak T-MAX 100.

    Your recent shots of deer inspired me, Nitro4me. How are you liking your new Super Tammy by the way? Are you able to hand hold it comfortably, even at 600mm? Would love to hear some input. I absolutely love my 300mm f/4.. but sometimes wish I had more reach (and I notice a difference with my 1.4x teleconverter).

    Stunning pictures everyone!

    "Baby" Mule Deer.. Shot yesterday in Rocky Mountain National Park. Finally some snow on the ground!

    @Scuderia1, I have only had the Tammy a week, its kinda heavy but with some practice i think it will be manageable . Right now its mounted on my monopod with a ball head and very easy to manage.
