Wishing all you great photogs a merry Christmas.
I love the "pregnant bow" photo (makes me want to be young again), and "Hockeyman"; great image (and beautiful model)!
@spraynpray I'm sure "Tommie" had her in for Christmas dinner.

My photo, and yes, that is a "singing" Christmas tree, and NO, that is not my golf bag. However, I did get the Nikkor 105mm f2 dc lens, so....

D4 24 1.4G 1/800 ISO 800 @ f/1.4

That makes me want to invite her in for Christmas Tommie.

And, the reality of the world..

I spent Christmas day at Nikko with my good friends.

Nice shot kanuk.

Merry Christmas everyone from Seoul, South Korea :)

Twas the "nap" before Xmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even my 19 month old mouse.

Hope everybody has a great Christmas. Since Saint Nick is going to be busy tonight I felt a picture of him would be appropriate. Unfortunately this is not a great pic but is the only one I have.

Happy Holidays everybody. Be safe.

Not my thing and never don't this type of work before, but I think it turned out.

It worked, no doubt this couple will enjoy your work....

I haven't posted in ages- I have been having some trouble getting software, so I've held off on taking and organizing photos, which has become a hell for me because I have a huge backlog of shots to go through now.

Plenty of great photos on this page even though I haven't had time to go through all 17 pages of photos.

Here's something old I was experimenting with ages ago- studio photography in small scale I guess.

In controlled conditions, my old Coolpix still does pretty well.

Depth of field is not as large as one would expect, especially with its tiny sensor.

Some memories from summer.

My share, another long exposure

Great portrait Tommie, backlit situation brings out her silhouette very well and there is still excellent light in her face, good focus on eyes as Squamish mentioned.

Beautiful Squamish...I think they are a pair. Your bokeh with the 200mm is cool.
