Thanx for hosting Clou!
I havnt been around for quite some while, but I'll try get time to catch up ^^
Wonderful start, Cluo. Great captures.. Can't do else then love old mechanic technique.
Great ones Nomad! I really love the 2nd from the bottom, such sharpness, it could fit as a desktop wallpaper or a big poster :)
Nice to see you again Tamia, the first one is a bit abstract. You can really get lost in it!
I'll start of with some beautiful friends of mine from the last week:

Congratulations MRRiley, great photo! I said to my gal the other day "Look at this crazy shot! He'll prolly win the contest.."
Thanx for a great challenge, was very fun to see the different participants and views. And thank you for the comments.
You're right :) she's indeed a Keeper. Due to our difference in religious beliefs (or lack of) we're not married. But we've been sticking together for a couple of years now. And I'm a sucker too ;) she've changed the colour a couple of times, thou luckily she dyes back to red most of the time.

Seems like an error indeed ^^ should've been 18th to 2nd afaik.
Maybe a title-change would be fitting by either the host or a Mod.

Bramela, beautiful captures! Very crisp and a great bokeh.
Tamia, thank you for the comments. The droopy ones looks sad, but I like it.. a unusual shot. The last capture is beautiful, I like how some are in focus, some are out of, aswell as the contrast between leafs and flowers.
Great shots Casil! :O Shame noone wears a helmet these days thou ^^ (well one fella did). I really like the 2nd , the colour and contrast.. both great.
Yesterday evening we took our bikes up the forest and did some "pushbike" downhill.

Jezza, love the Queen Mary Falls shot. Quite surreal!
Blue, the sad sedan is a beautiful shot. Gives a graveyard feeling.
PFH, Wonderful capture of Juno. Great saturation and contrast.
Thank you Peter Zack for the comments :)

All great captures! I don't really think I have a chance here ^^ but as I strolled trough my photos.. there was only one (or maybe two) that gave me the "once and never again"-feeling.
Maybe it's not a beautiful shot, it's not that lucky "yes I nailed it!"-shot..
..but it's my better half and her first ever tattoo, which came out gorgeous!
(click for full size)
The reason it's "once in a lifetime" is due to being the first ever tattoo she got.. simple as that.

Great ones casil403! You inspired me getting a shot myself.
..sadly, rain came early and no real good shots were captured.. but this will be my contribution, as I doubt I'll get anything better this week :)

Thank you for hosting Photolady :)
Peter, seems like it's quite accurate! I'm glad to hear/see as I just bought myself one last week ;)
Blue, I really like the last picture of the car graveyard. Beautiful capture.
Jeff! Really love the crisp and the colour in the 2nd one. Great!
Ash, I really envy your local scenes there. The first capture is very cute, the 2nd looks calm and nice.
Nomad, glad the beauty made it to water :) Yer first mate looks great, has a bit of a sade face on thou ^^ guess it's in the end of the day.

Seems like this thread is a bit too calm ^^ I wont have no pictures to contribute with atm.. but I'll throw some comments.
Rparmar, like the theme and I especially like the 3d one (surf spray), well captured and nice light! I like how the surface of the rocks are almost melting together with the water.. but the vertical rocks are lighting up :) You should (as Rense already pointed out) add it to the P52!
tpeace, great ones! The 2nd is powerful, lightning is great.
Jezza, lovely one! That's something I'd fit in a frame ;)
photolady, nice shot :) thou maybe (for black'n white that is) a different angle of light would've added some more contrast in the center of the flower? Not that it's not beautiful already!
Nice wet ones Tamia. I gotta get out in the nature a bit more, havnt had time lately.
Jeff, that's a great capture! I really like the use of the bokeh :)

Wonderful capture Rense! Great light, reflection and sharpness! Really love it.
Casil, Both are great. The 2nd has odd and fun perspective, I like such :)
Jeff, looks like a nice friend there. Probably one of the most loyal you'll ever get ^^
Jezza, looks warm and nice. Bit bright with the sun ^^ but I guess you enjoyed it.
smf, darn! Those shots are beautiful! I'm just about to join in and add some macro-tries with my 2nd hand 50mm f1.7, with a couple of extension rings .. but they'll look dull compared to yours :)
I'll do it anyway thou:

Hey Robin, once again we're two to make things a bit harder in commenting ;)
Great shots, and my favourite is the 3d one, but they make a nice serie!
Jezza, as usual great light from you! Very well captured.

Great pics this week, as always!

I had some luck, got my hands on a old 55mm f1.7 for a awfully cheap price ^^ as I just obtained it from the mail, I havnt got to know it just yet.. but here's the first few samples I tried:

Thank you kindly :) As my two biggest interests are action-biking and photographing, a fish-eye lens came rather natural to me ;) I'm still learning from it and its great fun! Haha indeed, the tree in the #2 is heavily distorted, thou the landing from that jump is rather narrow between two trees.
Noone had to be underneath, as I brought my wireless remote with me :) I wouldnt dare to jump over anyone tbh. ^^
Great videosample! I'd be a bit scare with em big Mantra Rays that close..

As spring is here, we've started flying down the hills with our downhillbikes..
(sorry for the rather dark pictures, light was odd and my camera have stopped working with my external flash)
One of my co-bikers are launching of a double.
Another friend is avoilding some trees while flying by.
