I know a thing or two about taking photos of Monroe, across the river, at night too. For some reason that nighttime skyline is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I used to use a Pentax KX I bought in 1976 to take many of my photos. They just don't make cameras like that anymore. I look forward to see more of your work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183450525043090273.post-44689948150271102842008-03-17T12:28:00.000-04:002008-03-17T12:28:00.000-04:00This is such a great picture!

I am a native of West Monroe, and I found this photo (and your wonderful blog) while I was looking up photos of home. <BR/><BR/>I was 3 years old in '82, but I remember that setting very well. My family and I lived a few blocks from that spot, and I vividly remember seeing the bright ONB sign through my window every night. Considering the area got pretty dark at night, the bright sign was pretty comforting to a little boy I suppose....lol.<BR/><BR/>If memory serves me correctly, you're standing not too far from (what was then) Dixie Dandy? <BR/><BR/>Needless to say, this picture brought back a lot of warm and happy memories for me. Thank you very much for posting this, and keep up the excellent work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183450525043090273.post-49046732357712285362007-04-03T23:09:00.000-04:002007-04-03T23:09:00.000-04:00Nice reflections.Nice reflections.Chad Oneil Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678399436449542326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183450525043090273.post-6575602885579807712007-04-03T20:08:00.000-04:002007-04-03T20:08:00.000-04:00Love this picture.

When I finally tried getting into the ...That's ok. When I finally tried getting into the autofocus 35mm cameras, I tried a Canon EOS Elan IIe. While it was a nice camera, Canon's layout of the controls and such were counter-intuitive.<BR/><BR/>I sold it and then tried a Nikon N90s, which I LOVED. Got itchy and sold it and bought a Nikon N80 which I loved even more. And that Nikon 14-120mm lens I had was simply awesome. Awe-some. I had some health issues the past few years and I got depressed and sold it all in a fit. I didn't sell the old Canon manual focus stuff because I couldn't have gotten enough for it. The ones I have work just fine, but they aren't worth much as used cameras.<BR/><BR/>In 2002 we bought a Sony DSC S-75, which is a really good camera, and mainly used that for the past few years, while also running some film through the old Canon stuff from time to time. It's a surprisingly capable camera, but slow. It was like having to use my Kodak Pony IV again. <BR/><BR/>Last year, I finally broke down, with Lovely Wife's blessing, and bought a Nikon D70s, 18-70mm lens, 55-200mm lens, and an SB-600 flash. I've been in digital photography heaven since then.<BR/><BR/>I looked at Canon 30D and the D70s and the D70s was quite similar to the N80 I had sold a while back. <BR/><BR/>These days, hands down, Nikon dSLRs are layed out control-wise, just like I like 'em. Canon's layout is now counter-intuitive to me.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, Canon is usually ahead of Nikon on new stuff, but I can pick up a Nikon now and know how to work it without the manual. I don't have that with Canon any more.<BR/><BR/>So now I'm a Nikon guy, but not a snob, it's simply a practical choice to me. Plus I still have a Canon AE-1, A-1, and FT QL with various lenses, all in perfect working order. I'd be silly to talk down about Canon after owning their cameras since 1979.<BR/><BR/>Heck, I even have one of my dream lenses on order from Adorama, and it's scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. I can't wait!JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183450525043090273.post-30502895189994104132007-04-02T17:51:00.000-04:002007-04-02T17:51:00.000-04:00While I AM a NIKON girl...I promise that I will no...While I AM a NIKON girl...<BR/><BR/>I promise that I will not be a snob or judge you! <BR/><BR/>Hehehehe.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your posts.<BR/><BR/>Take care.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195783449222301031noreply@blogger.com
