Thanks Michael, sorry to hear about the zoo, hope all the critters were okay. Whenever I go to our zoo, seems everybody is lazing around or sleeping under cover somewhere, it's so hot! Try again, and post for sure!

Oal, there is an Arizona meet up section around this forum somewhere and at times someone organizes something. Nice to meet you! Post pics of Oro Valley!

Short5, great calender shot! Beautiful.

The G9 never fails to amaze me, what people get out of it.

One of the best G9 shots I've seen lately, and there are certainly a good few candidates in the past few pages.

Well done.

Wow thanks!

Hi short5
In your nature trail in Arlington shot, I see by your exif that you used flash, would you care to tell us what and how you used it. On board or external, settings etc. etc.

Thank you, Martin

Sorry, very nice shot by the way

Thanks, I have no idea why I used flash It was the on board flash that fired. Looking at the shots from that day it appears I took a shot indoors prior to that one.I shoot in manual a lot and I likely chose flash on. When I turned the camera on in the woods I must not have noticed it was still on and did not see it fire. I can't see that it would have much effect on the shot.~Zane

Thanks for the info Zane,

I thought you might have used a 580 or something similar as fill flash.
But, as you say, I think the on board flash of the G9 in this situation has made no difference at all.

Great job Alberto! I like Hace 40 años que nadie golpea the best; simple, lots of texture and nice colors.

Doesn't G9 make a great travel companion?

Far from best but still a cool shot.

Nice shot! Love the glacier in the background, such power to move anything in it's way.

Nice Randall! You must have been having fun with this week's challenge. Can you slip one of these in? LOL!

What angle is the light source coming from?

Thank you Picbug,
I had a lot of fun learning this week. I did change my submission to "Checkmate?" and decided to change it back. I think the statue is a better sample of my understanding of lowkey. The lighting is natural sunlight coming through the window. The angle is a little misleading. the light source is back right and reflected throu the glass pieces.
you can see the rest of my, week of learning, shots here: http://www.flickr.com ...7/sets/721576064026​94756/
let me know what you think.
