Thanks Frank and Gary.

My #2 for the day is about intuition. There lay several tools this guy could have picked up. I had the frame in my mind already, when the Driver of this hydraulic excavator chose to use the tool that was only 50 Centimeters from my lens. I already had the houses aligned and the sun positioned. The friendly man in orange was so friendly to stand just in the position I needed him in. Love it!

Thomas - my curiosity is engaged. Are we looking out the back of the car? I am looking at that little hump shape, which could be the spot for a rear wiper??

Eah, yes. Had to look myself. Thanks for your interest!

Looking back in the middle through the back window.
Dark shadow: middle back seat headrest.
Bump shape: rear wiper (motor).
Rectengular window shapes: somewhat west looking windows of the washing plant door system.

Water drops and foam attach to the dirt better than to the wiper cleaned area, which makes up for the semi circle contour.

First Primula flowers, from the back.

Nice Bruno, that first Primula.

Very sunny atmosphere, Frank.

Here it was rather cold, the heating was on...

A friend needed a portrait shot to send with some info for an award nomination. Not from today, but yesterday, but that's close enough.

Bob. Super Skintones. I ask myself if it would win featuring her full hand?

Mike G · « **Reply #71 on:** April 07, 2016, 09:45:13 »

John, did you have to tie the cat to the chair? 😀

Longhiker maybe a closer crop to lose some of the back drop?

John Geerts · « **Reply #72 on:** April 07, 2016, 09:50:14 »

Beautiful Portrait, Bob.

Thanks Frank and Mike.

haha Just turning the heat on is sufficient

7/Apr/2016 -- Today I decided to sport something longer. With the Ai-S 200/f=4.0 Micro I took architectural details, some spring flowers and a surprising detail.

Color response / fidelity of this lens is amazing in good light. Mixed light situations are really, really bad: yellow cast, magenta cast, blue cast or all together. Rule: use it in daylight or other full spectrum light for wolderful colors but avoid indoor mixed light!
