Fog on the water on the Caney Fork River.  East Tennessee.  This river is crossed by Interstate 40 5 times in just a few miles, 
and I always want to stop and take photos because every crossing is photogenic.  But there is always a ton of traffic
behind me or I am in a hurry to avoid falling asleep at the wheel near my destination 10 hours away.  But this time it was
raining and no one was on my butt and I felt I could give it a shot.

I like the one that looks like cotton bolls.
I went out last night, speaking of cotton, on the Arkansas side of the river.  A Flickr friend wanted to go out
and shoot by the river, and it had come up a good bit since last time I was out there.  At first I was apprehensive,
but there was no trouble with railroad maintenance two-track roads, outside of some mud that was avoidable.
I put a texture on this which I rarely do, and turned it B&W, too....scene just called for it.

Well, when I say that my photo called out to be texturized, you can see here, that the photo and all that was before me 
was basically sepia to begin with, just a tan landscape from hell.

So I fixed it up really good.

iPhone pic of a gentleman reading and smoking up at HoC this past weekend. I felt awkward taking the pic but thought that him being backlit and pausing to look at his smoke was too good to pass up. 
Not a groundbreaking pic by any means but it turned out better than I expected for a shoot-from-the-hip iphone pic. lol

But I got distracted by WORK of all things and blew it off, haah.  I also wanted it to stand out and thought 
he might get lost if I made it too good.

I also like the phone shot...nice focus on the subject for a phone shot.
That's a long shot, Ron.....I mean, Sairtap.

For those of you with Nikons, and not too many lenses, you might want to pay close attention to this listing:
http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20620147.html
When I see these this cheap, I usually BUY THEM, since I can always use a fast lens on hand that I can attach
to a body for sale or other use, rain, beach, etc.  ANYWAY, at $54, this is a pretty SHARP lens and at a decent
portrait focal length for a crop sensor body.  I would rather have the 35mm, but it is $174 used, so I back up 4 steps.
Normally I would say these things go FAST at $54, but many times its ME that buys em.  But I only learned to buy
them so fast when I would THINK about it for ten minutes and it would be gone.  SO if you want a good, fast, 
cheap lens, jump on it now.  It is in 'Very Good" condition, which some people would pause at, but I have generally 
found their V classified stock to be pretty good.   Its only at G that I tend to pass, unless its a D700 for $950.
