<p>Hi Wednesday posters! First scan - great again! I was taking pictures of a friend's son as a favor on Sunday and he wanted some pictures with his dog. I am glad I am not a pet photographer! A great dog, but it other things on its mind but posing....</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning All. Haven't had much time this past week as I took off the last four days to go enjoy some time with my long time college friend, sailing, up in Bar Harbor, Maine. Here is a photo that I took last summer, while living in Minnesota. It was one of my favorite places to shoot. The reason I chose this one is because I just found out this weekend that it was chosen to be exhibited in a local juried art show. This will be the first time one of my photos will on display, outside my family. I will be checking back in later to comment. Nikon D80, 18-135 F3.5-5.6, 31mm , F11, 1/15s iso 200, tripod.</p><div></div>

<p>Last weekend before the Arts in the Alley parade. Grove City, Ohio.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks to those who have taken the time to make this such a nice place to visit. I look forward to this now much earlier in the week with baited anticipation.<br>

This was taken earlier in the week as I was walking through Pittsburgh.<br>

<p>Too busy to shoot much this week, but got around to doing the post work on a series of low-key shots on which I've been working. There's a larger version of this particular image <strong><a href="../photo/9789220&size=lg">here</a></strong>.<br /><br />A diffused Zeus ringlight is high camera-left, with backlight and fill from two AB-800's using 20-degree honeycombs. A 40-inch reflector is splashing a bit of the ringlight's puddle back into the scene. Storm Grey seamless paper from Savage.</p><div></div>

<p>Been a while since I posted.<br />It's taken even longer for this Plumeria to BLOOM (3 years)<br />Taken in my front yard<br>

<p>Wow, early for me but already a lot of very nice work from everyone. Here's my contribution, taken at a wedding last Friday. Shot on an F4, 50mm lens, Fuji Neopan film rated at 3200.</p><div></div>

<p >Happy WedNEsDAy everyone.</p>

<p >Thanks to Filip L. Jeannean R., Lil, Ken Y. and Joseph L. for your kind observation on my last week’s photo. Appreciated. </p>

<p >My submission of this Wednesday is the Little Owl. It was shot at SF Zoo back in March. This little Owl is a rescued animal. He is the most popular resident at the Children’s Petting Zoo. Though he is full-grown, his size is smaller than my hand. </p>

<p>Wandering around a local beach around dusk, this scene really made me feel that summer was over.</p><div></div>

<p>My cooworker brought this littler flower (name unknown) that she picked up during her after-lunch stroll. Its size is no more than 1/2 inch. I couldn't bring it back to home as it is so fragile so I had to shoot it in the office.<br /><br />I put the flower in a small vase in front of a LCD monitor. Then I placed the camera on a stack of photocopying paper and bounced light from the right side with a piece of white paper. I am pleased with the result. Shot with D700 + 105 f2.8 micro; f14, 3 s, ISO200.<br /><br /><img src="http://cameraface.smugmug.com/photos/658545727_tTBVz-XL-1.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="768" /></p>

<strong>pure joy</strong></p>

<p>Good morning everyone. I see today is off to another great start- Wed. is turning out to be my favorite day of the week.<br>

Joseph-like the cameras<br>

Jana-good portrait<br>

Lil-great shot of the egret<br>

Matt-love the shot</p><div></div>

<p>You all inspired me to try something different . So here is my first attempt at macro , the only "subject" was this tiny spider in my backyard. I can not imagine the effort and time it took to make this web.<br>

Thanks to everyone for the great pictures.</p><div></div>

<p>Street musician in Stockholms Old Town shot last week.</p><div></div>

<p>I've always liked how these teddybear cholla 'glow' when backlit. On this trip I was also reminded about the burrs they drop which can get kicked as you hike, and stick to various body parts, this time in my calf, but I've had them stick to my hindquarters before. Image taken on D80, 50mm f/1.8 lens, 1/20 sec and f/14, on camera fill flash used with flash at -3 ev.</p><div></div>

<p>So there we were on the west coast of Lofoten on a dim and drizzly day, sitting outside our tent eating breakfast and happily minding our own business, when along came three sea eagles and landed on the rocks down at the waters edge. I hurried to change lenses to the only tele zoom I have (the 70-300 VR) and began shooting. Needless to say the results, under such a contrasty setting and with such a mediocre lens, were not too impressing, but here's what I managed to crop out of one of the frames. <br /><br />D300 with 70-300VR @ f7.1, ISO 560, 1/800s.</p><div></div>

<p>City hall in afternoon light, Pasadena, CA. D700 with 14-24/2.8 at 14mm, 1/320s, f/9, ISO 200, matrix metered.</p><div></div>

<p>This thread gets better every week! I so look forward to Wednesdays now. My contribution this week was shot at Cornell Plantations wildflower garden. I liked the curved branch draped across the rotting log.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a correctly sized picture taken by my daughter of her own daughter, left, being told a secret by a fellow dancer at their Austin ballet recital. Used her Nikon D70 to capture this moment.</p><div></div>

<p>WoW Great picture, everyone. Kent, too bad about that old house. It must have been a lovely home.<br>

<p>I took this picture at the lakeside beach during waning soft light this past Sunday. I used the onboard flash to add a little fill and a Singh-Ray Warming circular polarizer too enhance the soft light. I was hoping to stay at least another hour at this location to get a long exposure night time picture, maybe next week.</p><div></div>
