Since its almost midnight here in london, I thought i might post 2 images. for today and one for tomorrow.
Pretty cool considering how it was lit. I'd like to see a little more light in the area above the Johnnie Walker logo (I can't make out what the logo is), but otherwise well done. I think you did it the hard way, though
Morning crab fishing, Siletz Bay, Oregon
Around 9am this morning, and the tide had begun to come in. Folks bring their crab rings and crab traps they cast into the bay for Dungeness crab. The waters are very calm in contrast to the breakers in the distance beyond the bay entrance, which is also the mouth of the Siletz River.
Camera: NIKON
Model: D50
ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/800 sec
Aperture: 7.1
Focal Length: 12mm

Truly amazing photo. Great sharpness and lighting.
If the backdrop is your gfs Little Black Dress, what is she...well... Post a pic or it ain't so.
Supper is served...
It was getting late in the day, and I was running out of light, but I snapped it anyway. Had to go a little high on the ISO, but I still think it's neat.
Excellent colors. I think thats an assassin bug. I'm too lazy to get out my Peterson Guides.

Thanks for the info Dale. I initially thought it was a mantis, but after looking it up on Google, it was similar, but definitely not a mantis. I'm 99% sure it is an assassin bug.

Thank you
Agreed that the area just behind the barge board is underlit. It was a bit tricky getting light into that area without getting in front of the camera or blowing out the bargeboard (guess I could have covered it with my hand for a bit though).

Thanks, that's very kind of you
Sharpness was down to the lens EF 70-200 f/4L.Not sure what you mean by what my girlfriend is
She is just a regular girl who has a few little black dresses like just about every other girl I know. She did get a bit worried when I asked her if I could borrow one of her little black dresses Spruce St. Paterson . Looking at the original after doing some PP , it occurred to me that , save for some security cameras on the Silk MachineryExchange building , which look like lights anyway , everything in the shot looks pretty much like it did 100 years ago , so I decided to sepia tint it to make it look old.
Nice use of sepia tint, gives good atmosphere to the picture. I agree that the lack of anything ostensibly modern makes this picture work as a sepia.
Love it, but the building in the top left looks too bright.
Here's a bee on the bleeding hearts by my garage. Took it a month or two ago. The others are from a trip to Myrtle Beach last year.
