<p>Sorry wrong photo. This is Time Square, NYC. Same camera and lens.</p>

<p>Brian, thanks for the link. I remember that discussion now. How do you feel about that lens today? Specifically for birds. If the answer is long...e-mail me.<br>

Thanks,<br>

my little dockside landscape has been replaced by sanford's landlocked landscape...?????</p>

 

<p>nice shot, but not the one i posted...</p>

<p>Sorry Eric, I have no idea what you are talking about. These threads get way too long and I don't always read them.</p>

<p>it's cool, shun, i emailed lex and he told me it was a server issue, which has now been resolved. thanks anyway :)</p>

<p>WOW! What a myriad of fantastic images this week.<br>

Dave, Chris, Ken, Fred; Richard, Sjoerd, Lil : thank you for the kind words. <br>

Dave: Where in Norway have you taken your picture?</p>

<p>Guys, you have all made shots that are outstanding. This time it is hard to pick my favourites!<br>

Jose: Creepy little fellow you have shot there....<br>

Matthew: Very nice harbour pic - reminds me that I am called out as a night watchman this weekend in our harbour.<br>

Monika: Very impressive!<br>

Lil: Beautiful IR.<br>

Elliot: Nice capture. Hard to say who is most loved in your pic.....<br>

Susan: Beautiful detail<br>

Chris: Outstanding macro. I think the poster-effect with your signature and broad line works here.<br>

Joseph: I like it very much<br>

Kevin: Nice portrait of the dog<br>

Shamsaldin: Very nice.<br>

To all of you other guys not directly mentioned here: Thank you for giving me soooo much inspiration. See you next week!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Sjoerd: My daughter was that old a few weeks ago (It seems). Yesterday, she graduated University.<br>

Take lots of pictures.<br>

<p>Matthew, Sjoerd, Hector, Gert, Lil, Hamish, Richard, Bruce, Chris, Dieter, Ken, Eric, Mikhail, Torben, George, Simon, Tiffany, Bernard, Benjamin, Brian, Per-Christian... (hope not to miss somebody). Thank you very much for your kind words and/or comments. I`m pleased.</p>

<p>To be sincere, I was not expecting this shot to be appealing... it could seem an ugly individual for some and technically it lacks... thanks to postprocessing tools it could be passable although only for web posting. This makes me think on a future, higher quality shot to be shown here. All other macro shots here looks far better.</p>

<p>The 105VR is certainly not the best lens for 1:1, worst if shooting at it`s smallest aperture. The bug is also too small.</p>

<p><em>To Susan:</em> I know nothing about bugs but it looks to belong to the curculionidae family, somekind of ordinary pine-tree weevil.</p>

<p>I like so much many pics from this week but if must mention one of them... perhaps the one who I stay looking for more time is Torben`s rust. I`m a bit of a bug, too, calid colors call me...</p>

<p>I`d like to remark that I`m only the one who start the thread every week (there must one doing so... ), I enjoy participating as you do... thank you all.</p>

<p><em><em>(To Lex:</em></em><em> e-mail sent. I wonder if the rules/guidelines could be shown under a link).</em></p>

Nikon D300, 16-85mm VR,</p>

<p>Soccer tournament<br>

D3 400.. f2.8 1/2000 iso 500</p><div></div>

<p>Sanford: Outstanding colors. Are they real or have you Ps'ed them?<br>

Shal: That seems to hurt... Captured in the descisive moment...</p>

<p>Per-Christian, I think I had the D300 set to "Vivid". That was about the best sunset I've ever come across.</p>

My third upload attempt ;). Shot this using 50mm f/1.8 with Hoya +4 close-up.<div></div>

<p>Per-Christian it was in Tromsø. I visit there several times a year for work. It's a beautiful town (and island) but that can be said for most all of Norway as I'm sure you are well aware.</p>

<p>Coming a bit late to the game, from a project on japanese ceramic objects:</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks, Jose, looks good.</p>

<p>And in just a few hours, it's WEDNESDAY again. Hooray!</p>

<p>It already is here in Sydney......</p>

<p>Well - in getting ready for tomorrow - approximately 13 minutes from now..... my time that is.... I checked the thread again.<br>

<br /> Just a great thread forum. It's so nice to hang out with this talented group of people.<br>

Too many great shots to mention - thanks for all the inspiration forum members.</p>

<p>Lil :-)</p>

<p>Lil - that sounds awfully like an anticipatory pre-Wednesday group hug to me...</p>

<p>Anyway I'm feeling the love from down here in Sydney...</p>

<p><em>...where I might add it is Wednesday <strong>evening</strong> already... so hurry up rest of the world, get with the program...</em> :-)</p>

<p>LOL Good one Bernard - - I've just driven myself near insane just trying to pick the shot for this weeks thread.<br>

Finally I just picked something............. That's what I get for being so backlogged in my pp work since the trip.<br>

Ah well....</p>
