Total refloated or in owner possession = 62.

25 million bucks. Easy pickins.

Car club did a dinner at the Saquaro Lake marina (just outside of Phoenix AZ) last night. I showed up a tad early to try some panos of the cliffs.

And one from the marina side

I sized them smaller (800 wide) to fit on the club's website. First one is about 7 frames and the second one is 4. Shot RAW, RSE and used autostitch.

Sweating like a dog at 112 degrees :eek: taking these. Good thing I have more to process today to keep me inside.

Laingjd, that looks very impressive, I would not call that easy at all.

Carlos, lovely shots. I like the way you handled the back-light and still got good detail. And that last one, those eyes, magnificent.
.
AbeakerZ, very impressive panorama's. They must surely appreciate those at your club.

Luc, I really like the B&W of the wheel barrow!
Here are a couple from my Sunday evening walk around the neighborhood right after a rain shower. Lights not good and I didn't take the monopod with me so they are a little soft from camera shake and shallow DOF.http://static.flickr.com/47/160205915_8117e9a8be.jpg

Thanks Mr.D.
I like the shots you took on your walk. At this size I can't see any softness and the raindrops give them an extra touch.

Love those portraits, Carlos. She is so pretty! Were you using your homemade reflector technique? I have to figure that one out if I can ever get my girl to stand still....

Here are 2 shots I took this week that I was particularly pleased with:

I think I like both of these because of the composition - the swooping of the tree in the first and the way the leaves go upwards in the second. Maybe the second one is kind of boring colorwise but I just like it so much...weird huh? :D

Yes, as a matter of fact I was, it is so efficient in lighting up the scene, I propped it with a pile of clothes, or I lean it against a wall, and start shooting !

I like the results...

Thanks for your comments

Nice greens - especially the first one.... I like that a lot, with the feeling of depth to the pic....

any way you could post a little bigger pics? it is frustrating to look at such small photos, especially landscape or details....

[Mr. D]

Wow, everyone has posted great photos this week!
I have one question for Tony...where are the baby pictures we expect to see some new ones each week...right?
Here a few more from the same walk as the above photos. All taken with the 330 and 35mm f3.5 macro lens.
