It is the 4th of November and this apple is still hanging on.

It's a three-man job.

Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. 100 ISO, where the D2Xs excels. Still a bit of post processing, though. Nothing is perfect.

Nikon D2Xs and Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.

A chance encounter. I asked if I might take her photograph. She did not object. She wondered if the picture would be improved by some sweeping action. Of course she was right. This was easily the best of the three photographs I made of her. How wonderful it is when strangers agree to be photographed. Nikon D2Xs + Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. Typical for many ultra wide-angle lenses the Sigma AF 15-30mm EX suffers from very heavy barrel distortion at the wide end of the zoom range. The situation eases continuously towards the 30mm where the lens is almost free of distortion. This photograph was taken at 22mm. Distortion was very noticeable and difficult to correct in post processing.

Some people whom you ask will readily agree to be photographed but they will stand in front of you like a board. Others know exactly what to do, and this lady falls into that category. If I were a better photographer I would have done her more justice.

Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;— I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
