I wanted to give a shout out to my younger (almost 20) daughter who just graduated from a Dental Assistant certificate course this past weekend. She's hoping to work in the cosmetic dentistry side of things here soon. I forgot my camera Saturday for her graduation and my iPhone one didn't like the background (two very bright windows) so I redid the picture today. She paid for the course by herself (not cheap either) and did very well in it.

I bet that's one proud Papa Scott. Congrats to her.

Well done.

That's a beauty DB. Colour and composition and the crisp thin focal plane. Its an painterly image.

[dorkburger]

Thanks Dave. Reading your description of "painterly" was an a-ha moment. I take it as a high compliment.
I do like the dreamlike, silky quality it has. Not perfectly sharp even in the sharpest area, but I was quite pleased.
The picture was taken with and old Sears lens adapted to the camera and fully manually taken.

Another from two nights ago. Same camera / lens setup. Hand held.

Dam Glen. Those are spectacular!

Why are you in HVAC? Should be shooting landscape for National Geographic or something.

[dorkburger]

Thanks Roger. Wether you realize it or not, you, some other photography fans here, and this site are mostly the reason for my fully re embracing photography.
When I completed the two year photography degree at the community College back in the late 90s, it was at a time of life where I needed to be a provider and not a dreamer. HVAC was steady. Chasing photography pursuits likely wouldn't have been.

The Riding Game and Anyone Go For a Ride Today threads were the beginning of my frustration with sub par cameras / cell phones.. Picture Of The Week Game was enough to push me over and start looking for a good camera. The last two years have been a lovely journey of learning and exploring imagery. There was a pretty significant learning curve for me going from film to digital.

I thank you and all involved.

First pic, I see the reflection, then the leaf (lillypad?), then after a while the way the leaf is bending the water surface. Impressive.

You are back to the Reservoir, eh.
Maybe the photo contest is continuing.

[dorkburger]

Yes. I'm planning to do one more contest to "complete the circle" of entering all 4 seasons.
Being that I'm a glutton for punishment I'm planning on using a shot done with an adapted lens.
I just got back. I certainly didn't plan to walk the whole 5 mile loop.. I'm tired. It may have been worth it though. The other side of the park is a wooded area and it was a nice change of scenery. I don't generally do well photographing in the woods, but I may have gotten a few nice detail shots.

[DaveR]

Consistently fine images DB. I'm curious about how many you shoot on an average walk.
My pic keeper rate might optimistically be 1/50+, if I'm not too choosey.
