Dynax Digital Forums

I just noticed that my first year with Sony is true. About 6000 images, lot of misses also a lot of great time with my friends, family and ... alone  Naturally I also found this nice forum full with friendly Sony colleagues.

I have selected few shots, maybe not photographically the best ones but they include some nice memories.

I had it a small surgery half a year before our backpacking trip to Lyngen area in Norway (also called as Lyhgen Alps or Nordic Alps). I had it four week sick leave and was not able to have any physical training in 8 weeks. I was really happy that even physically not in best shape, I was able to carry my backpack and climb some mountains ...

It was a hot summer day, a day typical for dragonflies to fly. I spent several hours trying to take a photo of these creatures ... and then I saw this one ...

#2: Blue eye
[Minolta 100mm 2.8, 1/320, f5.0, ISO 200]


We were in East-Finland joining the Midsummer Festival and next day I found this pile of logs split in two or four parts and find it interesting enough to take a image. Little PP made the ends of log more interesting.

#3: The ends of logs

Late cool October evening, a hot Sauna, few beers, good friends and a view to the Baltic sea.

Kurt,

Congrats on your first year with the near gear!

Well....these are great..really like them..that top one special..mystical.

You have hit on an important aspect of photography ... You said, "maybe not photographically the best ones but they include some nice memories." We all like to take technically perfect images, but usually the ones that make us "misty" are the special ones that evoke memories and perhaps bring a tear to our eyes.

Best wishes,

Clive

Great set of images. The log shot is great.


Rob

Thank you all for your feedback!

Clive:  Thats why I take photos. To bring a smile on a face and memorable moments to share ...

Pat: Don't worry, I'll might throw few pics with some story now and then

Frank: Lot of plans for coming/going year and if everything goes well should be able to take few shots LOL

Spring is coming ... althought we just got 10 centimeters new snow.
