Last night i went to a live down town.
I thought it was a great opportunity to try and get some cool shots of one of Greece's famous singers, Anna Vissi.

Worked with the AF 80-200mm f/2.8 mounted on my Nikon D700.

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Looks cold, but I can feel the sound of the rain.

Thank you for another example.  The separation is subtle in this focusing distance, but the effect of drawing viewer's eyes is definite, thanks to the effective color composition.

Thanks Akira.

Love that contrast between the scooters and the flowers.

My 5,8cm/1.4 only fits the Df with the lug retracted.

Ah, I was very lucky to find a mint sample that was Ai-adapted (in Austria).

Scilla peruviana flowers very sporidically, survives in a sheltered spot in my small frontgarden.

Finally!  I got a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker from our deck.  Overcast and flat light, but for once the bird stuck around long enough for me to catch it in a fleeting perch on a dead branch.

They normally zoom by into the brush next to the house, or alight just long enough for me to imagine that I hear Woody Woodpecker’s famous laugh before they fly off. Not the greatest picture, but a small personal victory :)
