WedNEsDAy PiC #8

<p>Travelling today so I have to draw from my portfolio - an image taken in Thailand last year but only recently processed (though I should add those amazing greens are exactly as they were in real life).<br>

Matthew B - wonderful image. I was in Victoria last week travelling between Bendigo and Benalla and yes the haze and smoke made for some surreal scenes that belied the tragedy going on.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken while on holiday in Ireland, my first trip "across the pond". Nikon D700, Nikor 17-35mm/f 2.8 @ 35 mm, 1/25 sec @ f16</p><div></div>

<p>Lil, Lex have posted just a few times, the one I have on mind is a mother with child portrait.<br>

Ilkka, time ago I promised myself to visit Finland at least once in my life. All that ice attract me like a magnet.</p>

<p>A reminder of Valentine's Day. D700</p><div></div>

<p>Bored the Sunday outdoor market.</p>

<p>Voila.</p>

<p>lazy afternoon</p><div></div>

<p>I give up.<br>

 

<ul>

<li>I must remember to have a photo less than 700 px wide BEFORE posting.</li>

<li>I cannot add the photo after the post have been submitted.</li>

<li>I must not have more than one tab open in the browser, which can cause the resized picture to be sent to the wrong thread.</li>

<li>I think I'm going to get banned from this site for being a dummy.</li>

</ul>

<p>Bernard, are you sure your settings werent on "vivid"? that sure is one verdant field of green.</p>

<p>Ilkka, your pic is great but it gives me shivers.</p>

<p>Rene's has an Akira Kurosawa aspect to it but still quite chilly</p>

<p>Richard's pic at least thawed me out a bit...i like Hamish's horizon too.</p>

<p>nice work, all!</p>

<p>This is only my second contribution. Taken Monday this week.<br>

D300 70 - 200 F/2.8 exposure was: ISO 1250 86mm @ f/2.8 1/60</p><div></div>

<p>After watching a good portion of the last few week's WedNEsDay PiC's center around bird photos, I thought I'd give it a try. I found out that it isn't so easy when all you have is a 50mm lens (could have used the kit 18-55, but wouldn't gain much). Anyways, here's my contribution.<br>

D60 with 50mm 1.4G AF-S, 100% crop, 1/320s F/9 ISO100</p><div></div>

<p>OK, I'm late to the game this week. Not my favorite but it is my wife's favorite from her dying Valentine's Day flowers. Out of respect, I post what she liked. Told her I really needed a new D700 and 24/70 to make this photo special but she didn't buy it. I'll try again next year.....</p>

<p>I do computer consulting on Wednesday's for our local County Board of Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities. Today (oops...yesterday now) I was at our sheltered workshop. We get laundered shop rags in bulk from our customer and re-package the rags in bundles of 25 which our customer then delivers to their customer. Here are some of the guys on the shop floor counting rags.</p><div></div>

<p>From more than a few Wednesdays ago.....</p>

<p>My first post and it is still Wednesday.<br>

This was shot with a d90 and 70 to 300 mm lens. The iso was set to 3200 at shot at about f11 in an attempt to artificially force some noise. the washout is a result of playing with light room with no specific intent</p>

<p>Jose - thanks for letting me know - I must have missed Lex's other shots. Now I know to look closer.<br>

Now - how do we get Shun to join in the fun. :-)<br>
