Chris:
   
  Nice work. The last time I was in NOLA was about 20 yrs. ago I got caught 
in a parade (an everyday occurence I think) where people with beads on (of 
course) were riding in trucks and throwing out tons cabbages to 
paradewatchers along Magazine Street. I imagined that scene in Houston and 
remarked to then-wife that that kind of deal would be a big flop there. 
Needless to say, I was amazed.

  Images from this weekend:

This weekend was the annual Freret St Festival. Plenty of music,food and 
artists. When Kermit plays, he invites everyone on stage.

Lika Nikon D3 with new found 28-70/2.8 Nikkor (it's full frame again!) 
800iso and 1000iso.

Friday night after a wedding we had tornado and flood warnings in New 
Orleans. The Mississippi River is crescting at 17ft, the levee is 20ft with 
room for another 5ft. That's not saying much coming from New Orleans 
officials. I figured since it was bad weather outside, I'd walk to the River 
in a wind and rain to get some images at midnight. That is when the day 
begins.

Like Nikon D3 with 28-70/2.8 Nikkor, 2500iso handheld, 20th/sec


Both slideshows created with Beta LR 2. Damn it's fast! D3 images pop up 
real quick! I noticed some buttons and features had moved around compared to 
LR 1 but it was pretty easy to get used too. On the first image from the 
Freret Fest, I used the new "dodge and burn" tool to lighten up Kermit's 
face as the tent had poor lighting. I should go back and work on it some 
more. I also used it some what on the reflections in the water next to the 
boat.
