Well, a few of my fellow Dgrinners came to Manhattan Kansas for a shootout this past saturday. We spent most of our time exploring areas surrounding Tuttle Creek Reservoir. ArtScott, CSwinton, and I were there. (My images are B&W - it was an artistic decision, though I know as always many dgrinners will tell me they should be in color. Please try to appreciate them in monochrome). Here are some of my photos:

    Great shots, really wish I could have joined you all. I think it was a good decision to go B&W.

    Wow what a great set. I love the choice of black and white - it really brings out all the great mix of textures and light/shadows that you shot. Really nice work! thumb.gif

    Ahhh!!! How can you have a dgrinner outing without Shmoone_nau.gif

    Even without her presence, your set is lovely. I really enjoy pictures in B&W when showing textures, shadows, shapes etc.. and you have done this well with your set.

    Thank you for posting. Can't wait to see your companion shots to come.thumb.gif

    My favorites are 5, and 7. The water level on five is odd, like a slosh, and made me think about that, and the angles of shadows, made me think about seven. How's the fishing there?

    It seemed to be a decent mix of white bass and walleye with a carp and drum thrown in here and there......it pickled up later that evening ......Oh still processing and sorting:D.......Processing digital is not easy for me......much harder than film for me............BACK TO WORK BEEN SLACKIN' LONG ENUFF!!!:D
