Friday came around pretty quick this week - that happens when you spend most of your time asleep and trying to ward off illness. I am feeling a bit better this morning. Thanks for the well wishes.
I went into work until noon yesterday - then left completely exhausted and ready for a nap. I'll give it another try today.
The weekend will probably be low-key out of necessity. I need to visit my Mom. Hopefully I'll feel well enough to take the drive up.
The shot is from late October, when the Monterey Ash trees in our neighborhood start to drop leaves. I can't resist picking them up and bringing them into the garage to set-up on the wash machine. I happened to have the *ist D with the 28mm 1.7 attached. Handheld, auto focus, with a small bit of Photoshopery.

The reason I liked SLR cameras (and currently DSLR cameras) is the ability to change lenses - giving me the freedom to choose an appropriate lens for particular subjects, situations or effects. However, because of my desire for carrying less weight when hiking, I sought a 'superzoom’ lens, which would cover as much focal range as possible. I now can look forward to carrying one of my wide angles (Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 or Sigma 12-24 f/4.5-5.6) and this Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G VR I just purchased – which also limits the lenses I would need to change for desired focal lengths.

Factoids
• A 20-story building would fit inside the main chamber of Cueva Clara.
• The Camuy River Cave Park is home to more than 13 species of bats. The bats in Batman Forever were filmed here.
• The RÃo Camuy is the world's third-largest subterranean river.
• 17 entrances, over 220 caves, two other smaller cave systems and more than 10 miles have been mapped so far and experts still say the cave system could be larger.
Tyne Cot Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery
The cemetery lies on a broad rise in the landscape which overlooks the surrounding countryside. As such, it was strategically important to both sides fighting in the area. The area was captured by the 3rd Australian Division and the New Zealand Division , on 4 October 1917 and two days later a cemetery for British and Canadian war dead was begun. The cemetery was recaptured by German forces on 13 April 1918 and was finally liberated by Belgian forces on 28 September.
After the Armistice in November 1918 the cemetery was massively enlarged from its original 343 graves by concentrating graves from the battlefields, smaller cemeteries nearby and from Langemark.
The Cross of Sacrifice that marks many CWGC cemeteries was built on top of a German pill box in the centre of the cemetery, purportedly at the suggestion of King George V of the United Kingdom, who visited the cemetery in 1922 as it neared completion.The King's visit, described in the poem The King's Pilgrimage, included a speech in which he said:
We can truly say that the whole circuit of the Earth is girdled with the graves of our dead. In the course of my pilgrimage, I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon Earth through the years to come, than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war.
—King George V, 11 May 1922
The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker. The land on which the cemetery stands is the free gift in perpetuity of the Belgian people to those who are honoured here.
Notable graves
The cemetery, being so large, has a correspondingly large number of notable graves and memorials, including the grave of Private James Peter Robertson, a Canadian awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery in rushing a machine gun emplacement and rescuing two men from under heavy fire. He was killed saving the second of these men on 6 November 1917.
Another recipient of the Victoria Cross buried in the cemetery is Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries, an Australian who led an assault party and rushed one of the strong points at the First Battle of Passchendaele on 12 October 1917, capturing four machine guns and thirty five prisoners, before running his company forward again. He was planning another attack when he was killed by an enemy gunner.
The personal message at the foot of the headstone of Second Lieutenant Arthur Conway Young is much commented upon.The message reads "Sacrificed to the fallacy/That war can end war"
Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing
The walls forming the memorial in the background, with one of the rotundas
The stone wall surrounding the cemetery makes up the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing. On completion of the Menin Gate memorial to the missing in Ypres, it was discovered to be too small to contain all the names as originally planned. An arbitrary cut-off point of 15 August 1917 was chosen and the names of the UK missing after this date were inscribed on the Tyne Cot memorial instead[9]. Additionally, the New Zealand contingent of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission declined to have its missing soldiers names listed on the main memorials, choosing instead to have names listed near the appropriate battles. Tyne Cot was chosen as one of these locations.Unlike the other New Zealand memorials to its missing, the Tyne Cot New Zealand memorial to the missing is integrated within the Tyne Cot memorial, forming a central aspe in the main memorial wall.The inscription reads: "Here are recorded the names of officers and men of New Zealand who fell in the Battle of Broodseinde and the First Battle of Passchendaele October 1917 and whose graves are known only unto God".
The memorial contains the names of 33,783 soldiers of the UK forces, plus a further 1,176 New Zealanders. It was designed by Sir Herbert Baker, with sculptures by Joseph Armitage and Ferdinand Victor Blundstone, who also sculpted part of the Newfoundland National War Memorial.
The memorial was unveiled on 20 June 1927 by Sir Gilbert Dyett.

A bit more testing with the P900. Not a normal video shooter, but thought I would give it a try to see how the handheld optical stab works at max zoom.
Just a quick clip as a first time test. Straight out of camera with no edits/changes and not the best weather as it was blowing a bit etc.

I will try some tripod mounted video later...
