Sorry, Hank, but the "green stuff" has had a less adventurous life. My husband bought it from EVIL Wal-Mart in Jan 2006 and transported it in his own suitcase back to Finland. He wants to know if it's any good as he never got a chance to try it. As some point, we had a rather large collection of hot sauces (maybe a dozen different ones) - I only gave Xo the unopened ones.

I started to hum the JAWS theme when those dogs approached - they looked hungry and they looked mean brrrrr.

And I bet those telephone poles would look absolutely fabulous in your pictures! :)

I'm going to go right now over to your husband, and tell him that we need more nature photos! So there!

I have to say the red of the buildings come so alive in these. And you say it's a Nikon thing? I am thinking of getting a more professional camera myself and the one thing I don't like in my current Canon is the way the reds, especially the old building paint, comes out... Have you processed these pictures? Although, I am not sure I understand much of that, yet.

Excellent pictures, as always!

Nikon definitely works best over Canon for the colors. But I feel Canon is much better for evenly toned pictures. When I postprocess a Canon picture, I have to use a delicate touch. When I post process a Nikon, I use a very heavy hand and am quite happy for it. It all depends on your taste.

But yes, these have all been run through Photoshop to remove digital camera haze and enrichen the photographs tones, contast, and colors. The Nikon takes good enough pictures that these take about 2-5 minutes to enhance.
