Another great week from everyone. These threads are a treat each week. It's been raining here almost none stop for 10 days. So what little time I've had for personal shooting has been a wash out.

Just for fun: A little PP stuff.

I tried to find some obscure things to shoot around the house with my FA77. That's a more difficult proposition than with a macro lens.

Capsule




Broken Tiling




Under Floor

Rollsup - what a cute baby fox - great capture.

Alan - nice framing and colors on the tractor. A nice fluffy flower looks like it could be the lapel on a suit form the '70's Love the Banjor series here and in the other thread.

Tran - another aluring shot

Georg - nice wide angle of all the reailway ties.

rparmar - a nice random series - I enjoy such pictures. Particularly like the survey one with the OOF people in the back looks like the guys is pointing at ya. The next series is just as random. The lens perfroms well.

Peter - nice PP. You really get a sense of motion in that shot. Hope the weather clears (it was mid 30's here yesterday way toooooooo hot !)

So start thinking who is going to start the POTW 22? It's such an honor and privilege - a most coveted Forum tradition be it yours to hold high

Caught an egret by the river just after dawn he was miffed at being chased from the pond by a heron

capsule - nice texture shots

borno - great shot.

heres one i took, i was standing in the middle of the road, and a car came out of nowhere, so i had to grab my cam and tri pod and run to get out of the way... ended up with a cool effect.

Collective thanks to all who commented my images.

RollsUp, absolutely beautiful Arctic fox!
Tran, superb warm-cold colour contrast continues to get my admiration..
Robin, nice street series, you have inspired me to get my primes and take a walk in the city...also I am getting an LBA for the FA 77!
Alan , I like the B&W playing hands.
borno, superb lighting in the heron photo!
2ipper, cool night scene!
Peter, nice "asteroid"!
Kevin, keep them coming!

I took a walk in the centre today with my newly aquired Super-Takumar 50mm, I think I like it!

I was considering getting rid of the FA77 because I could use the money. But that might be madness.

It would be my favourite lens if it close focused. But I have a DA35 Limited on its way for that.

LBA? Four lenses this last four days.

Cold Case Shooting

They were filming an episode of 'Cold Case' in my neighborhood this week. I've never seen the show, but when I saw all the equipment needed for a few seconds of actual footage, I thought I would take a couple of shots.
