That's gorgeous Matt. Wonderful light, wonderful texture. Is that with the 14-24? (Speaking of "heck of a lens".)+1 that's a heck of a lens...
That's a beauty Jorgen.:salute:Been away for a few days, upcountry to enjoy the farmers' lifestyle. Took a couple of photos too. Here's one from yesterday afternoon.

Osman: Thank you!Matt and Viablex: Widely divergent subjects, equally masterful execution!
Matt: Terrific combination in your hands.nikon 14-24 and the D700 the low light monster..thanks for the compliments!!
Osman: Nice! :thumbup: I'll have to show my wife. They appear to have struck a treaty with the birds. The composition with the train rolling in is great.Istanbul is a city of cats, ladies and gentlemen. On every street (bowing to the great Mark Knopfler, btw) you can meet the omnipresent feline, minding his or her own business, or just relaxing. They have a great capacity for the latter; they can relax everywhere. And they have a stare that makes you feel you are an intruder in their otherwise peaceful universe. Who knows, they maybe right...
Trying to concentrate on people awaiting their train, they stole the show and I ended with more cats on my hand than I knew what to do with.
D700 with 135/2.0.
Oh, and the occasional cormorant:
Matt: This is beautiful too! Your pp has a very rich, but natural, quality. :thumbup:
Jorgen: Excellent framing,light and tone. You can feel the sun and the length of the "road ahead". No end in sight. The position of the feet and the long shadow are cool. You can almost see that left foot move forward for the next step. :thumbup:Been away for a few days, upcountry to enjoy the farmers' lifestyle. Took a couple of photos too.

Had to quote this :toocool:[..]
"they would have been married before the end of your memory card"
Very nice. Love this (and Jorgen's take on the scene). As for the lens et tu brute?I swapped a few things this afternoon. A few quick snaps with the new acquisition (damn you Steve! ). Cheers, Matt.

Jorgen: Thank you! This is the beginning of the movie where she backs up and bumps into him. If they had dogs, the leashes would get tangled. They instantly hate each other, but by the end of the movie, they're married. Alas, they just went their separate ways. When you brought up Disney, I thought of Cary Grant and ?.Thanks Matt and others.
Matt, I absolutely lover your number 1/3. If they had been dog owners (preferably those white ones with black spots), and this had been a Disney cartoon from the sixties, they would have been married before the end of your memory card
Lloyd: Thanks. I hated to part with the old one, but oh well. They got the lens in (not very many have shown up) with my name on it. I didn't want to disappoint them. This lens has a nice feel to it, also.Very nice. Love this (and Jorgen's take on the scene). As for the lens et tu brute?
Steve: That would have been a safe bet, and besides, you have two of them.Matt...I Would Have Bet A Kidney...! Congrats & Enjoy! This Is An Amazing Piece Of Glass!
Corlan: Thank you, sir. It was behind me during lunch, and then someone pointed out that they'd just finished painting the clock face. So...Had to quote this :toocool:
Excellent candids, Matt. :thumbup:
Love the new Market sign shot, too. One of your best angles...
Very nice! No need for a paddle with that one. :thumbup:Playing with some glass from Carl Zeiss. Oberkochen was kind enough to lend me a pair of lenses for a month.
Here's one of my favorites with the Distagon 18mm ZF.2
