=)
Nice photos as always.
Nice pictures, which I am sure you took in colour. So what motivates you to publish in b/w? An effort to dampen the highly commercial festive time of year?

Posted by Fred.B at December 25, 2006 09:42 AMThese images make the skaters appear as if in an abstract winter world.
Very nice
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy and learn from your photography. Best wishes...
Posted by Tim Lauer at December 25, 2006 10:35 AMWow! Your pictures amaze me time and again! Your work proves that it doesn't depend on the equipment but on the eye! I have yet to attain your level with my 30D....
Posted by Stefan at December 25, 2006 10:57 AMThank you for all the wonderful photos. Your talent is an inspiration to many. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Posted by denton at December 25, 2006 11:41 AMI wondered if you were so into the DDOI you created that you would post on Christmas day.
Now I'm pondering if you shoot it in B&W mode or convert the images in the camera or on the PC? I can convert in camera with my Nikon D80 but in the short time I've had it I haven't noticed a setting to shoot in B&W mode. I'm not sure there would be much difference as per the differences of shooting B&W film or color then converted to B&W which is different?
A good thought for the day is that I expect you are happy to see a move of opposition to Mhamood Ahmadinejad in Iran. So much wisdom, and history to share and having it suppressed - baffling!
Merry Christmas again.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at December 25, 2006 12:20 PMWow, the b/w looks very good with it! Maybe I should do that when im in Toronto...
