WedNEsDAy PiC #14

WedNEsDAy again and things are looking good. The delight of my week was after a round of golf I entered my car, which had been setting in the sun for hours, and got my faced baked. Uuum, good. Reminded me of "The Cremation of Sam MaGee." Hector: 71 degrees North? You're killing me. And I thought it was nastycold in New England. Nice clean shot .Alastair: didn't your moma tell you not to play with your food. I wonder what the art would look like after the caffeine jolt? I was at a scuba convention Sat. and looked up during lunch.<div></div>

<p>Seems like a very consistent number of responses to this every week. Nikon D300, older 70-300mm Nikkor zoom. Converted to B&W by my "special" method.</p><div></div>

<p>Haven't been able to shoot much lately but I did get a chance to work on some photos last night from a recent vacation.</p><div></div>

<p>This little guy is currently residing in a Japanese Maple Tree near my front door. He hopped up on the roof to pose for me. Shot w/ D60 and a borrowed 70-300 G lens.</p><div></div>

<p>I ran this photo through the critique forum last weekend, so some may have seen it before. This was taken at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, CA. D200 with Nikon 300/2.8, 1/500s, f/6.3, ISO 200, matrix metered.</p><div></div>

<p>Wednesday already again? Nice submissions this week - particularly like Shawn's B&W landscape, Pedro's wife going over the menu, Bruce's ferris wheel, Alastair's coffee art (seen the first time in Vancouver), Dennis' portrait of Morgan, and Doug's flying ant.<br>

Though I did some shooting yesterday, I didn't have time to process the shots yet. Did get a chance to re-process an image I took about 2 years ago with the 300/4 AF IF-ED and Kenko extender on a D200 - the image is uncropped.</p><div></div>

<p>Still winter here...sigh...</p>

<p>D40, 18-55 kit @ 34mm, 1/800, f/8, ISO 200, Aperture priority</p><div></div>

<p>It's really Spring.</p><div></div>

<p>I thought of uploading a pic of my beloved 35mm. After all its work of photographing subjects it deserves to be photographed.</p>

<p>Sorry here it is</p><div></div>

<p>Walking the dog one morning, I finally saw the light:</p><div></div>

<p>Sorry about it Rene, at first I though he was sleeping, and that's it. After seeing the text I felt very sorry. I had a dog that was a great company for me, I know how it feels<br />Regards,<br />Simon.</p>

<p>Trying out different angles of shooting this butterfly and got this interesting picture.<br>

<p>Rene' sorry to hear about your dog passing. he looks a bit of a character.<br>

Shawn, lovely looking countryside.<br>

My photo this week was taken at Derwentwater in Cumbria. It's a popular spot for photographers so nothing original.</p><div></div>

<p>Very nice Gary</p>

<p>A friend says this looks like something out of the Land of Mordor. In reality, this is Great Falls, VA. Photographed last Friday.</p><div></div>

<p>OK, let me start by recognizing some of my favorites:</p>

<p>Bruce - love that ferris wheel shot<br>

Alastair - lovely<br>

Doug S. - great shot of the lily and ant<br>

Gary Mc - a beautiful scene</p>

<p>Here's mine. Took this visiting an Italian festival at a local mission. I liked how that had this little donkey (burro?) decorated, and available for children to pet. Used the D700, hand held, 24-70 zoom.</p><div></div>

<p>Wednesday seems to come faster and faster. As temperatures rise so do the rivers. Makes for good opportunities in the local mill towns.</p>

<p>Bogdan and Dieters images stand out to me this week.</p><div></div>

<p>"Wildlife Photography"...</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots everyone!<br>

JF ... great color.<br>

Dieter ... super capture.</p>

<p>I was in Brooklyn last week ... Ray.</p><div></div>
