APAC: Photoclub submissions, March 2012:dltphoto
Working with the categories is quite restricting sometimes, at least trying to put them into the correct categories I find challenging. Fortunately being a Level 1, I have the ability to chuck them all under the "open" category which is an easy way out.
So this month I have tried the "Nature" category,
"Nature: images of untamed animals and uncultivated plants in their natural habitat. (CAPA rules and ethics apply!) Evidence of man, manipulation of the environment in any part of the image and human elements must not be present, except on the rare occasion where those human elements are part of the nature story; e.g. for birds – sitting on a thin wire or the top of a post. However, if at all possible, these must be avoided. The presence of scientific bands or collars on wild animals is acceptable where it adds to the story, but should be minimal and avoided. After satisfying the above requirements, every effort should be made to use the highest level of artistic skill in all nature photographs."
Not easy to fully abide by these rules. I assume I have!!

A wintery winters day, the Digital Saga: dltphoto
So in a previous post dubbed " the film chronicles", I went out and shot some goodies with the classic Nikon F5, but as to not make the Nikon D200 feel left out of course I dragged it along with me...really, what photographer only goes out with ONE camera? and maybe also a smart phone too!

A wintery winters day, the Film Chronicles: dltphoto
After our dump of snow a short while ago I broke out my amazing Nikon F5 for the harsh cold temperatures. Why the F5 I hear all of you asking... since its weather sealed to death and robust as heck and its my favourite film camera.
Anyways, the girls and I built "turner mountain" in the front garden and the girls revelled in sledding on their boogie sleds.

"Pink Wheat"?:dltphoto
So a little while I go I found some "pink wheat", as called by Lucy. I used a combination of my NikonF5, Nikon AF-S 60mm 2.8 and some sweet Kodak Ektar 100 film. It was all hand held and the breeze was blowing the "pink wheat" around. ( I am sorry I dont know its real Plant name, but if someone does they could let me know.)

Scott Kelby Photowalk 2011 (part 2): dltphoto
As promised here are a few of my nasty expired Fuji 800 ISO film shots done only with the Lensbaby 2.0 and the wonderful Nikon F5 shots in poor lighting....
Someone muscled my camera from me...
The grain on this 800 is pretty outrageous... maybe it was a little under exposed!!! Must get more practice with Lensbaby!!
