<p>wow. I think there were 10 upoads while I was doing my post. Great job everyone.</p>

<p>Wow, as of every week, great work everyone! Its only 8 am here, and I wish I had more time to look :D</p>

<p>Here is my contribution for the week. This was shot last November, but I just got around to getting the film processed a couple of days ago and scanned at home.<br>

D300 35 1.8</p>

<p> </p>

<p>As always some great posts. <br>

Randy - Can feel the heat<br>

Pedro - Love the door<br>

Ton - Great street capture<br>

Aaron - Very curvey<br>

Lex - Just beautiful <br>

I just purchased a 50/1.4 and was playing around with DOF shots this week. Converted to B/W and cropped in PS.<br>

D80 50/1.4 @ 1.4, 1/80, ISO-800</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos, great week, here are a few that caught my attention:<br /> Pedro's door, Aaron's tunnel, Kemal's hind legs, Matt's pet bull, Doug's bird, Paul's birds and Randy's blaze.</p>

<p>Here is mine, this is a friend of mine's hobby, and the strange thing is that he is not alone. I shot this at only 70mm in a good crowd of people that bring their lawn chairs on the weekends to watch plane's land. One little kids was yelling at her father "can we go home now".</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Randy - </strong>that's an excellent photo.</p>

<p>another North Wales shot from me this week. taken on the island of Anglesey. it is Southstack lighthouse and surrounding cliffs. D200, sigma 10-20mm and my 10 stop ND filter.</p><div></div>

<p>Once again, it's great to browse through the Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC collection. My contribution is a photo from last year. A little experimentation with the multiple exposure feature on my Nikon N80 and a cruise ship on the Hudson in New York.<br>

<h4> Ilford Delta 400, Nikon N80, Quantaray 28-90mm<br /></h4>

<p>Shot this Cape Cod home just recently. Extreme wide angle shot constrained by space, and I wanted to create a very large print. Nikon D200 with 50mm f/1.4, 1/250 @ f/13. Nodal Ninja panoramic tripod head. A composite of 21 shots w/PTGui Pro to achieve the wide angle and the megapixels. The full image printed is 58 inches wide at 300 ppi. The detail makes you feel you can walk right into the picture.</p>

<p>Oops... Here's the image.</p><div></div>

<p>Historical parade in my town this weekend to honor it's 800-th year of exsitence. Some beards and moustaches being aired.</p><div></div>

<p>Oops, messed that up - admin please delete.</p>

<p>Some really nice shots this week. I really like Kent Shafer's composite.<br>

My contribution - taken at Flyfest 2009 Hamilton, ON. A Firefly owed by the Canadian Wareplane Heritage Museum.</p><div></div>

<p>First time I've contributed to this - not sure if the photo has to be from today? Anyway, took this on my way to the coffe shop this morning. Flowering Agave plant. Nikon D700, HDR, Photomatix, Tamrom 28-75 2.8, F14</p>

<p>Howdy all, more pics from the water.. <br>

nikon d300/sb800, nikkor 10.g DX fish<br>

exposure - ISO400, .6 sec @ f2.8, Used the sb800 in TTL mode, 2/3 under, direct light.<br>

I was experimenting with slow sync flash in this one, which worked out pretty well catching the eyes and face without any blur, pretty good considering the longish exposure and we were whipping across the water at about 30mph at the time :) </p>

<p>Munaluodonselkä (Lake Saimaa) after sunset on Monday.</p><div></div>

<p>Michael and newcomers... you`re welcome. Your pic is under 300Kb and 699 wide, I wonder if you forgot to write a caption to show it in thread.</p>

<p>The aim is to show our latest or recent work... it`s not a requisite to be from today. Guidelines <a href="http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00T/00TXZt-140227584.jpg">are here</a>.<br /> Great photos everyone.<br>

---<br /> Edit: while writing this lines, two more pics, Mike and Ilkka... <em>beautiful!!</em></p>

<p>Little late today I ran over my internet cable with my lawn mower so I had to reconfigure an internet connection until mine is repaired on Friday.<br>

My contribution this week is from my trip that I took to the local aquarium for my birthday.<br>

Kind of a freaky looking Leafy Sea Dragon</p><div></div>

<p>Since the announcement that Kodachrome is going to be discontinued, I found this photo I took in 1996 during a trip to San Francisco. I picked up my rental car at the airport and followed the signs into downtown and ended up at Coit Tower, my first stop for a view. It was a sunny early June morning, and already around 75 degrees outside. I took this on Kodachrome film with my Nikon FE2 and a 50mm f1.8 AIS Lens (scanned on to a Kodak PhotoCD in 1999):<br>

<p>Terrific work, everyone! These particularly caught my attention:</p>

<ol>

<li>René's night shot of Florence. René, I love the city and the background, but I can't find anything that speaks to me in the sky. Crop?</li>

<li>Ton's shop window and street scene. The old guy vs. the super-model window figures is just fabulous. This is a really memorable image.</li>

<li>Janne's flowers. Nice, quite nice, but in a shot like this, I struggle with how to allocate the DOF vs. the OOF. With OOF in front and in back, I'm looking for a reason to pay attention to the crisp portion.</li>

<li>Pedro's door is fab. I shoot a lot of doors when I'm traveling.</li>

<li>Chris, your weevil is crisp, bright, and so very nicely presented. I like your sig band worked into the image. I know it's just a detail, but I think it's very well done and a complement to the image, doesn't fight against it.</li>

<li>Colin's flower shows really tight DOF control. I like it.</li>

<li>Doug's hummingbird on a twig is great.</li>

<li>Randy, the fireman on the ladder is really great. Maybe it was the lead image in the news. If not, it should have been.</li>

<li>William and Paul, your shots of birds in conflict are great. Show personality nicely.</li>

<li>Gary, the Wales coast is terrific and makes me want to go there. I liked everything, but the milky sea confuses me. If the sea is so smooth, where did the foam (at the shores) come from? But, I'm going to add a 10x ND to my bag.</li>

<li>Mike, the photo of Jackie in the boat... Wow! I love when flash blends just right with available.</li>

</ol>

<p>Again, very nice work by everyone.</p>

<p>Thanks for the answer to my question. I'll give it a try. this is one great site, and I hope I can contribute.</p>

<p>Wow, lots of great shots already! Thanks all for mentions last week. And thanks Shun for your notice. So far, these are some entries that stood out for me. Pedro: beautiful door, Monica: nice street, Mike O: interesting story, Chris: nice macro, Kemal: funny deer, Bruce: great blue sky, Lex: nice black background, Kent: nice composite, Ray: interesting plant, Colin: good lighting, Michael: interesting composition, Doug: good hummingbird, Jeff: nice cool hallway, Randy: wow huge fire, Mike: beautiful girl in moving boat.</p>

<p>I was surprised to find the local Corvette club putting on a show in my downtown park this weekend -- of course I had to check it out.</p><div></div>
