193/365 , a photo by craigand on Flickr. The moon was hiding behind some very freaky clouds tonight. Very difficult to get this shot; ended up with ISO 6400 at 1/8th second, f/5.6 because that's the widest my longest zoom will go :/ Maybe I should buy that 70-200 f/2.8L with all this spare cash I have lying about ... ;)

At some point soon I'll get back into the swing of this thing. Well, that's the plan anyway. It's not worked especially well so far, but I'm trying. 185/365, posted to Flickr by Craigand 186/365, posted to Flickr by Craigand 187/365, posted to Flickr by Craigand 188/365, posted to Flickr by Craigand 189/365, posted to Flickr by Craigand 190/365, posted to Flickr by Craigand

184/365 , a photo by craigand on Flickr. Yes, it's a flower. But I was in the garden, so there were a few of them. I thought this one was nice for more than just being a pretty flower, though. The light coming through a gap in the foliage to give a greater contrast makes it work quite nicely. Here are some more from the day.

Just about caught up ... Been out and about with an old M42 mount 28mm manual lens. I do have a filter set for it, too, but I haven't used it in anger yet. That's later. 176/365 by craigand, on Flickr 177/365 by craigand, on Flickr 178/365 by craigand, on Flickr 179/365 by craigand, on Flickr 180/365 by craigand, on Flickr 181/365 by craigand, on Flickr 182/365 by craigand, on Flickr 183/365 by craigand, on Flickr

173/365 , a photo by craigand on Flickr. A very strange picture, but a bit cool nonetheless. The fill flash has made the subject stand out like a cutout from the background. Not sure if it's good or not, so I'm including it in the 365 as a reminder of what happens when you use fill flash from that close distance.

155/365 , a photo by craigand on Flickr. The sun dips low over Lathkill Dale and bathes the trees and rocks in golden light. My alternate for this picture is some Jacobs Ladder that grows native in Lathkill Dale. I didn't use it because of my new policy that flowers are too easy.
