Nice one. Really."Just Doing It"

Thank you, John. Very much appreciated. That D3s is a winner for sure.Lloyd, these are fanastic. The one of her jumping over the fire and the long-shot of them crawling beneath the barbed wire are my 2 favorites. You're really doing some wonderful work with the D3S. Great job.
Steve: It's perverse to go from that adorable puppy to this!...All right, very cool and way to mix up the pp. All great, this is my fav. :thumbup:More F6....
2.
John: Nice series. I esp. like the firefighters; but, it's a great shot of the Capitol Police. Gotta like their smiles. :salute:

OK, so these weren't made with my Nikon digital, but they were made with my Nikon F6 and digi-tized ;-). All on the new Provia 400 (fabulous film).
Please don't shoot me.
Don: +1! Beautiful. :thumbup:Don-that shot of Half Dome was made in some mighty beautiful light. But that Antelope image- just gorgeous. Nice job of controlling your range and framing out the hot spots. Not easy to do there.
Lloyd: They're not wearing yellow sweat shirts and green pants? Boy, that looks like fun? These are awesome, SI quality photos. This is a sport? Superlative color, composition, timing and subject isolation. These are my favorites. That second photo's a bit of stomach churning deja vu. :thumbup:Meet Monica, Mimi's friend and work colleague. This shot is from last Saturday, just minutes after she finished "The Spartan Race", where she ran 8 miles through the hills of the only Olympic XC skiing venue at Soldier Hollow.
Along the way, among other things (I only got shots of a few of the obstacles), she and about 2000 of her best friends:
Dragged or carried 75lb concrete blocks up a 22% grade, and then carried them back down again:
Crawled on their bellies for 30 yards, under barbed wire:
Jumped over fire (though some were genuinely terrified by this):
Negotiated (alone or with help) the water and mud hazards:
And then, fought their way past the Gladiators standing in front of the finish line:
Bloodied, but unbowed, they loved it:
All with the D3s, 70-200/2.8 VRII
Steve: But, not enjoying it? Nicely captured. :salute:"Just Doing It"

Now, i really have to get out the F6. Maybe, I can do some remote shooting as the dentist extracts my wisdom tooth in the morning?
Cheers, Matt

Thank You Friend!Super!:thumbs:
David, Love The Set Especially The Last Shot Of Her With The Black Hat!dunno if its kosher to lead you guys to images via a link to a portfolio site...but i'll give it a shot. haha.
if you want to check out the whole series that goes with the last shot i posted, check it out here: http://dmeckert.4ormat.com/editorial
(i'm having a website built...but the designer has been awful to deal with so far, despite having a wonderful clean aesthetic...i'm planning on tinkering with 4ormat a bit in case i end up scrapping what she's done and filing a charge back)
thanksDavid, Love The Set Especially The Last Shot Of Her With The Black Hat!
:wtf: Indeed. To paraphrase MC Hammer, "Can't touch that!"Don't Even Go There...

Thanks Matt. Much appreciated. It is pretty reminiscent... those were the days, eh? (No "mud wenches" joined us bad then. Too bad. Would have been a much more pleasant experience, right?)Lloyd: They're not wearing yellow sweat shirts and green pants? Boy, that looks like fun? These are awesome, SI quality photos.

Thank you David. I feel the same!lloyd...that series is SPECTACULAR. i can't do any of that stuff, and don't really like getting dirty...but i totally want to do that! great stuff.
LOL! Yes, my wife noted, when she looked at my gallery from the day, that there seemed to be a predominance of pictures of mud wenches. Hmm... I wonder how that happened.Lloyd, the series about those wayyyy too fit people in the mud and sun is remarkable. Love the leaping mud wench. Sterling stuff!
Best,
Tim
Happens to me too; when it gets a bit chilly.Don't Even Go There...
