Good moves Paco

I was asked for a photo of myself for a presentation that I'll be giving, any photo , I gave them one where I'm facing away from the camera, they didn't like it 

So , I had this one taken with a voice operated remote control (my daughter) , to make it more interesting we used the 105 f2.5, I explained how to focus and use the focus confirmation dot and the arrows to turn the focus ring in the right direction. The first batch of images were all back focused ... I forgot to mention the dot has to stay on, for the second batch we only needed two images.

Since we were reviewing in camera she was fascinated how the lens had the PS blur already done! After my shots the remote control ignored my instructions and proceeded to take photos of plants, the dog and other things complementing the blur effect of every photo

Your Remote Control apparently found, and used, the very elusive Nikon Picture Control: "Blur . . .> more"?

Apparently so ...

Armando: you definitely look like someone explaining and controlling which part of the explanation might have been understood ...  ;-)

this evening I was hot enough for feverish blood culturing. Yea. Afterwards the temperature rose till about 40°C. I give you "Hellboy"

Great portrait Armando

Thanks Frank and Fons

yesterday we also hit 40°C a temperature unheard of in the 30+yrs I have lived here , or ... Frank are you talking about your body temperature ?

Your hairy chest becomes you, Frank

Nice rendition of that portrait, by the way. Very apt for your current predicament. Get well soon.
