Default Sonoran Sunrise...after my D3's wild DPS rampage!

...so I haven't been inspired lately, especially after finding out that my D3 escaped from my bag and ran amuck, posting pictures of himself all over the internet, and denouncing me. He's in camera prison right now getting his dirty little sensor cleaned. I apologize if Spartacus offended anyone!!

So, after a little digging, I came up with some sunrise shots from a while back. Thanks for looking!

...and one of the hot air balloons that frequents our area. The owner has posted this shot on his ballooning website, Hot Air Balloon Picture Gallery | Tucson Balloon Rides
TBR Oct 25

Thanks for looking. BTW...Spartacus is married, so if he made any inappropriate offers to any lady-cameras out there, I apologize! Nikki Sue Nikon: I believe I have your lens caps. I found them under the stairs... Spartacus said they were his, but I don't buy it!

Jim, you crack me up. These are all beautiful, but that second shot is stunning.

Dang! I've been wondering where Nikki Sue's lens caps were! And she said somebody stole them from the laundromat...I wasn't buying that! Very nice set.

Holy crap Jim! These are spectacular!!!!!!! I'm in love with the 2nd and 4th in particular. Just so beautiful!

And of course your commentary had me cracking up - ya goofball, you're as weird as me.

I came up with some sunrise shots from a while back

Whether they were taken last year, month, week or yesterday, theres no denying the quality of these crowd pleasers, nicely presented Jim. And well done for keeping Spartacus in check, any further similar instances and he made to be density neutered

Yeah...I'm gonna have to drop him down to a 2Mg camera for a while. See if that curtails his libido!!!

Nice series of sunrises Jim, especially like the 2nd and 3rd shots. The 2nd one looks like you use some flash for fill light? You have a nice shilouette going in the 3rd shot. I like the deep and long shadows going on in the last shot also! Good Work!

Oh Jim, you're killing me! Beautiful photos as always. You know how much I love color, & these are stunning shots. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and console my wee Canon. She was stood-up by a Nikon from AZ.....apparently he's married. Of all the nerve.....
