[UPDATE: Sale ended 10/6/17 at 10 p.m. Thanks to everyone who participated, and anyone who helped! —Ed.]
Today is the last day of Gordon's print sale, and I was wondering if you might volunteer to help spread the word—mention it on a forum you visit, another website, Facebook, your Twitter feed, or anywhere else you go to "virtually congregate" with other people who might like to know. No need to go to great lengths, just one mention somewhere would be enough. If enough people do it it should really help.

'Twould be a mighty favor, and greatly appreciated.
Sweet success
I'm happy to report that "Precipitation" is making it rain (ha!). With maybe six hours to go it's already one of our most popular sales of recent years. It has greatly outstripped the number sold the first time around, back in 2009.
Orders close at 10 p.m. Eastern Time tonight! Last hours. I'll leave it open a few minutes after that for stragglers, but, honest, we don't take orders after the close. Once the doors shut, they're locked. Remember there's no extra charge for International shipping.
Thanks!
Mike
P.S. Oh, and look what's sitting on my charging platform halfway down the basement stairs, sipping power that it may come alive—that thing that looks sorta like camera albeit sorta not.
Of course, the tradition is that as soon as a loaner camera gets here, the weather gets cruddy and remorselessly stays that way for the duration of the loan period. And sure enough, today was also the first gray day we've had in two weeks—the weather had been just otherworldly, really lovely. But I've got the camera for 30 days, and it can't stay gray for 30 days.
So we'll be having some fun next week.
It can't stay gray for 30 days, can it? I have to confess, I'm a little worried.

That's an A6500. You don't need no stinkin' sun!

If the 30 days you are referring to happened to occur in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the months of December, January, February or March then yes, 30 days of rain and grey are indeed quite possible ....

Loving the shot of Butters! Once I crop out the top almost-third, there's something about the color palette, the texture and shape of the wall, the geometry of the staircase, and of course the expression and body language...

A gray sky is just a giant diffuser with a white balance problem. Shoot raw, and don't point your camera up. Finger lakes region this time of year you have color coming out your ears. Slap a macro on that camera and your dogs will be howling for you to come home and feed them you'll be so lost in the adventure. Sorry Mike but gray is not an excuse. A couple months and 6 feet of snow.....maybe an excuse.
