Many fantastic photos here.
Abhinav, I always enjoy your photos.
TaoTeJared, astounding clarity in that picture.
El_Pickerel, love the slow shutter treatment in the stream.

No macro lens today. D7000 with Sigma 120-400mm @ 330mm ; 1/250sec ; f/8; ISO 200. Lit with SB-900 on camera
Another one of my town!

Thanks Squamish and cyclekraft. Great shots to you as well. Squamish, I am motivated to try these panos out from your shots. Well done.
Abinhav- I really like that shot, great juxtaposition of old and new.
Postman- Great landscape. Helps to have such a beautiful subject as New Zealand.
D7000 Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 @ 13mm f/7.1 1/100 ISO 320
Wheelmanbmf- That park looks like a really nice place to visit. I can almost smell the flowers!
Rx4- Really nice shot- that Sigma lens looks real sharp. Their wide primes seem to be mixed in sharpness, but their macro lenses look quite good.
I need to try some on camera flash, I'm planning to get a SB700 next. Should balance really terribly on top of a D40 with a 105mm macro. :D
Juergen- I always like it when the performance is period correct- it's odd seeing vintage cars with drivers wearing modern helmets. Sure it's safer, but it's an anachronism.
Squamish- Always liked your landscapes.
Cole- Welcome to the forums! And I get uncomfortable with shots like that, looks like you got your camera quite wet.
Abhinav- Looks good! Like others have said, like the old with the new.
Correlli- Awesome bokeh! And great capture!
Postman- I also like your landscape.
I agree with what others are saying- the shots on these pages are very good stuff.
My dinner tonight- burgers that were air mailed in! We got to try some burgers from a company called Omaha Steaks, they grow their own fancy beef or something like that. So I pan fried some bacon first, fried the burgers in that and then caramelized some onions and mushrooms in the oil too. Add some tomato and lettuce and it was pretty good stuff. Very moist.
It would have been nice to have some fries though.

Not entirely sure, but it makes sense to get pretty slow shutter speeds... 24mm effective focal length, 4 stops of VR -> 1/24sec -> 1/12sec -> 1/6 sec -> 1/3 sec -> 2/3 sec handheld. Add that with shooting on continuous, or taking a knee for a more stable shooting position, and you can get pretty slow shutter speeds. I love this lens primarily for keeping the shutter at f/8 or smaller, and the ISO at 100 or 200 when lighting is not optimal, without the hassle of a tripod.
Thx Jürgen, no it is natural light this one, though I do quite often usethe R1C1 for macro shots.
Well might not be the quality that everyone else has but I need to get back to posting again and learning software.
I'm back to a kid in a candy store on PAD again this month - great shots everybody!
Scooby - no need for self deprecation - your shot is good enough to be here too. I like the blackness. Nice.
Very nice pictures to eveyone again, had to go through 3 pages and I was only 2 days not logged in.
Here a long exposure picture last night under a train bridge.

@cyclekraft: Perfect photo! Shame the parents in the right upper corner aren't walking faster ;-)
@Correlli: Allmost mystical light :)
@scoobysmak like SnP said!
@Rx4Photo: Very nice colors, ans allmost like macro photography :D
Not sure, but I think it is time for my cat Grace to set her feet on PAD. Great work on PAD as always.... handholding at WHAT..., El_Pick?
Ahhh... but this is the D90 at ISO 1600. 135mm f/2.0 Nikkor, 1/125 @ f/2.8

If it disappears, it means that the picture your link points to either got deleted, renamed, has moved or the server hosting it prevents access or is unavailable or unaccessible from here.
Inspiration central!
Here is a shot that Benjimade some edit recomendations on... Thanks Benji :)

Thanks boemboem and NSXType-R. My copy of the Sigma 120-400 is pretty good. I've considered selling it to finance the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR2 but I know I'd miss the reach of the Sigma, not to mention missing the extra $1500 +.
By the way NSX, your food photos look pretty darned tasty. Think I've put on a pound just by looking at them.
@ Jan F. Rasmussen, interesting portrait of the herder kid. Those tribal marks on his face seem to be consistent with burns, which, I wound't doubt, is probably customary. (I could be wrong, though)
Well, May certainly was a vintage month for the PAD - superb shots everybody!
@spraynpray.......Agree!
What a month, nearly 700 posts, incredible images, great dialogue!
