Glad you are back. I was worried about you, seeing the post you made from the hospital. Sounded like you would have had to get better to die there for awhile...

Thanks

.....yes, it was touch and go there for a while. A long way to go, but at least I am home and improving.

Regards!

Eric, At first I thought that was an eaglem photo, nice prestorm shot.
Frederic, great shots really like the last 2 taken with that fancy Irix lens.
repaap, very nice set of photos.
Tony Growden, outstanding shots.
todd, I like the 2nd hack, very pretty.
Here are some shots of a new butterfly; a brown skipper & a skipper on an aster. Really astonished with the beauty in the colors & patterns on the butterflies & insects in general.
Best Regards, Bob

Several pictures taken while walking on Avenida Salvador Allende in Havana. Because of too low shutter speed I wasn't able to freeze the movement of the cars most of the time, so that's on me. Anyway, Havana is the place to go if you like vintage cars.

Thanks Bob! I'll take that as high praise indeed. I still am amazed eaglem gets such great results from OOC Jpg... We have all become spoiled with PS & Raw...

You are doing really well with that DFA 450mm zoom. I see those close up flutterbyes, and keep checking your EXIF to see of you snagged a DFA100WR yet, and always smile when I see you are getting those types of shots with the big zoom. Great work. I have to admit, I enjoy using the Tamron 70-200 F2.8 on those for similar reasons I suspect... because it is silly sharp, lets me focus close and reasonably fast, and the zoom gives me a little more flexibility framing than the macro prime. For ultimate IQ, nothing beats the macro, but sometimes it's better to get the shot at less than ideal IQ than miss it all-together. I saw 1 pic exif at 70mm I think? Is that the manual focus macro you picked up used? Looks like you are warming up to it also.

Nice pictures of the old American cars, but I did notice that the buses are newer, the yellow one is on a US made International cab and chassis.
