John (300m) > Jan 6:  Pink Rose
I bought my wife a flower arrangement yesterday and this is one of the roses out of the arrangement.  I liked the veins and the softness of the flower.  As it is pouring rain here today there may be more shots later tonight.  Thanks for all the nice comments on the reflections shot.  I had fun doing that.
Alt Shot that Lady Kates will like  Sleigh  Enjoy!
John (300m) > July 9:  Out of my comfort zone.
Well I did it today, fully out of my comfort zone and in front of the camera.  It was raining today and between that and the tasker I was working I did not get my lunchtime walk in today.  I have had this SP shot in the back of my head for the last month so I figured that if John could get in front of the camera then I could.  I did the setup in my "office" here at home with two SB800's.  One is mounted on a stand at 90 degrees to the camera with the diffusion dome on and set for 14mm lens  The second was on the camera with the diffusion dome and set for 17mm lens.  I was using my 17-35mm lens at 24mm for the shot.  Flashes were controlled by the master on the camera set at full and the off camera a -.3EV.  Triggering was done with the Nikon electronic trigger set for multi exposure.  This forces the camera to focus at every shot so I could trash the 1st shot and use the rest :)  I was actually working on a shot in Lightroom in the picture.  The sunrise is here.   Sunrise  This was my alt choice in case I lost my nerve to post my mug shot.
John (300m) > Nov 18: Water Droplets
I found this leaf in the yard and I really liked the play of light on the leaf.  The interplay with the features looked good and I was impressed with the shot.  I had been walking around with my 70-200 on and the min distance with that lens is 5' so I was about 6' away from the leaf and still captured this shot.  I did the conversion to B&W in PS and adjusted the setting till I found a point for the shot I liked.  Enjoy and have a great day

You are getting one from the archives as I had major dental work done on the way home from work.  Bottom line, I hurt.  I am posting this and going to bed after I take a pain pill.  Please enjoy
I was doing good last night, I sent this to the wrong gallery.  Better today, but still sort
John (300m) > Hi Key Rose
Not everyone stands out in the yard in the rain holding a camera in one hand and an umbrella in the other.  I was bored, need a shot, enough said :)  To verify my wife, yes I am nuts.  Just to prove it I have more shots of leaves etc I captured in the rain

Have a great day folks  Thanks for all the guesses yesterday and to Maryanne (fotomom) for the correct guess on the horse stable.
John (300m) > June 17:  Daisy in the morning light
I caught this daisy in the early morning light as I wandered around taking pictures while waiting to get my car worked on.  My flat tire from fathers day will not hold air so I had to replace the tire and discovered it an odd size.  I liked the way the light played across the flower and the lingering effects of last nights rain were still present in the center and the pedals.  I liked the effect of both the shadows and the light in this shot.

John (300m) > Nov 17:  Reflective SP
I took this Monday night, but as I was under the weather most of yesterday and asleep I did not take any pictures so I will use this shot.  Thanks everyone for the well wishes!!  I think the stuff the doc gave me is working as my head and chest feel better today and I am going to work.  Kittens are sad as they had a buddy all day yesterday and a warn bed to sleep on :)  I am using the couch as a tripod here.
Have a great day!
John (300m) > Nov 12: The Silhouette
I captured this tree for  a shot I was thinking of as I liked the way it looked and the statement it made against the blue sky.  I exposed for the sky using spot metering and took the shot.  The only processing is to raise the black threshold a little and to dodge the bottom where a car's shiny back end was showing.  Have a good day
John (300m) > July 14:  Bad hair day
I caught this little gal early on my daily walk.  There were a pair of herons down in the moat and I was able to get close enough without my usual scaring them away to get some good pictures.  Here is the pair of them on the pipe in the moat   Heron Pair 
The weather was real bad yesterday, heavily overcast, trying to rain so I stayed near the gym facility incase of rain I could run back with my camera.  I have now put a big plastic bag in my gym stuff just in case.  
This gal stood posed on the pipe for me and let me take 4-5 shots.  I  liked this one the best.  18-200mm lens at 135mm leaning over the moat walk fence to get this shot.  The later shot was when I got closer and the male flew in protective :) I took the shot and left them in peace.  Shot was color corrected to remove blue - green cast.
