Ralph at the Barbeque. D200, 70 mm.
On American Independence Day (and everyday) I feel blessed to be an American. I send a special salute to my nephew and the men and women who volunteer to serve our country.
Lots of great pictures, as always. I didn't have time to contribute to the thread recently. New addition to the family as well as the fact I shoot lots of film on my Yashica TLR. My family and I got a chance to get out to see a firework show downtown Chicago, I managed to capture some street shots with my Nikon d300.
More photo's from the summer solstice. For this one my friend let me borrow his 10.5mm fisheye. These guys are "The Honeycuts", great local band out of Portland.
A very inspiring set of photos already this morning... thanks everyone! This photo was made in our backyard yesterday as our grand daughter cooled off in a low sprinkler to get relief from a 100 degree heat index in Port Washington, WI (usually cooler near the lake).
Happy wednesday! Bashar Alshabi and Bob Dein: excellent portraiture!
I had some fun with an old Ai-Nikkor in the garden.
The Ai 24/2 renders out-of-focus highlights rather expressive :-)
