Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #40

<p>Already Wednesday?! Need to do a post and run - really time for bed. Like the tones in Rene`s image and that's a very nice candid, Lil. Thanks everyone for the nice comments last week, very much appreciated.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello guy's.<br>

Can't wait to see pictures from all over the world, mine is from today a few hour's ago and it's autumn in Denmark now.</p><div></div>

<p>Some great photos already - and I see a water theme this week (water is always photogenic I find). I did have a photo ready, but decided to change it to this one of the 'blind river' at Seatown. This river finishes as a pool on the beach and then filters through the stones. The tones and shapes appealed to me and although a photo never catches all of what makes each location special, I hope that some of it comes across to you.</p>

<p>Thank you so much to those who commented on my photo last week - it is always very much appreciated.</p><div></div>

<p>This is Nessie, from "ArtPrize" a large art contest going on in Grand Rapids. </p><div></div>

<p>morning all,</p>

<p>Justin - thants a fantastic shot. love the backlight.<br>

Rene' - beautifully peaceful shot, love the colours in the sky.<br>

Hamish - your summer didn't seem to last long at all.<br>

Anish - cracking shot of Tower Bridge.<br>

Dieter - stunning view, the colours look terrific.</p>

<p>My shot again was taken a couple of weeks ago up in cumbria. it's a small section of Aira Force waterfall. D700, 135mm f/2.8mm series E lens. 1/6 sec @ f/16.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everybody,<br />Didn't have time last week to comment and when I had time, I was too late and the thread was closed. Many great pictures and comments last week as usual. Thanks to Erik (I have seen logan's run before, but it doesn't ring a bell, I will have a look when I find it), Per-Christian, Jeannean, Joseph, Lil (loved your Aplha Egret) and Roberta (I think the faces underneath looked a bit dummy ;-) ) for commenting on my picture.<br />This weekend I took a picture that I planned to take for a while and it's picture that has been made for a million times (and probably 999000 times with better results) but it was something I just wanted to try.<br />BUT, I wanted to make it a bit different with processing, but I haven't had time for it yet.<br />So, I submit an older picture of a house of a friend of mine (hopefully I didn't post it before). I liked the shapes of the stairs and ceiling. They were reconstructing the house and that is why there were some white boards placed on the second floor and I don't like the wire hanging there, but I didn't notice until I viewed the picture on the computer and didn't feel like cloning it out.<br />Taken with the D90 + 18-200mm @ 18mm F8 1/250s iso 200</p><div></div>

<p>Very nice photos here already, I look forward to seeing many more throughout the day. Thank you for commenting on my picture last week, I appreciate it very much. <br /> This one I took on my Sunday morning walk, I hope you like it.<br>

Nikon D60, 55-200mm f/4-5.6 VR at 200mm, ISO 400, 1/80s, f/5.6</p><div></div>

<p>This is a follow-up to last week's pic of the demolition/construction project in our neighborhoold in suburban Detroit. You might remember that there was a complete house at 8:00 a.m. and half a house at 8:15. This is all there was left by 6:00 p.m.</p>

<p>D300, 24-70 f/2.8 at 24mm, ISO 400, f/8, 1/80 and 1/1,250 sec, handheld HDR.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, so great everyone! I didn't have much time to shoot this week and don't have the "best of the week".... Anyway, here you go. In this case, I kinda like the flare/ghost.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning:<br /> <br /> First of all, thank you to Jeannean, Joseph, Lil, Finlay and Roberta for your comments last week.<br /> <br /> Here's a shot I took this past week of my 3-year old granddaughter. My new (used) 300mm f/4 Nikkor AF lens is great for this type of photography -- it lets you take closeups without getting close to your subject, perfect for photographing kids without disturbing their spontaneity. The sharpness and shallow DOF don't hurt either.</p><div></div>

Here's my shot for this week! Taken over the weekend at Bushy Park, UK. I'd spent a bit of time with this critter, experimenting with a shot of this big buck at eye level but didn't like the background. The dof makes him feel small, but he's pretty big!<br>

D300, 70-200VR, SB600</p>

<p>Hi everyone, beautiful shots so far... Mine was taken this sunday with D3 + 24-70/2,8G , at ISO 3200, 1/40 and F2,8 :</p><div></div>

<p>Spring Rolls on in S.E. Australia, and at last a sunny warm day today to shoot my favourite birds at work again. It is very pleasing to observe these New Holland Honey Eaters feeding on an echium bush that I planted myself several years ago. Life in a large garden has many rewards.</p><div></div>

<p>Orlando.</p>

<p>Thank you for viewing.</p><div></div>

<p>More post-production on my older images. Though this is one that I am happy with. Off to Hong Kong tomorrow for a week, so I'll have a batch of 'fresh' stuff to show over the next month or so.</p>

<p>Wonderful work so-far everyone. And Jose, yes I hear you about going out with just one crazy lens and forcing yourself to think about how best to use it. Something I do frequently. I think your image is just wonderful too.</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>I went back to 2003 for today's image. Taken on Lake Michigan's shore (South Haven, I think) on a cold October day. But I love to go there in the Fall. Not the greatest pic, but it brings back good memories to me.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's one taken this weekend. Nikon D300 with a 20mm f/2.8 Nikkor.<br>

<p><br /> Thanks for looking,<br>

<p>Good Morn to all. Jeanann I love the bee in flight. I know how long it takes to get a shot like that. I was out yesterday trying to capture a wood pecker and our cat showed up as usual and scared the birds off. Great shots so far can't wait to see todays Pics.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi All,<br>

Great images already. Jose, Renee and Jeannann: Excellent shots.<br>

My image for this week is a candid from last winter. I work at the university in Madison, WI and the image is the artwork of a n undergrad! Reasons for this creativity: anybody's guess!</p><div></div>

<p>Hi mathew,<br>

That is one crisp shot of the New Holland honey eater!<br>

<p>Hi Everyone,</p>

<p>After last week's discussion, I was wondering how my camera fairs at high ISO (800-1600). I tried shooting in a local gym on Sunday. It seems the results are good for web image sizes, but too noisy for anything else, although I'm not using any noise reduction software and I edit in PS Elements 2. I might invest in noise reduction software in the future.</p>

<p>This is a friend practicing for a martial arts demonstration:</p>

<p>Cheers</p><div></div>

<p>Hi!This weeks contributors have already made a heady start to what promises to be an exciting wednesday.<br>

My contribution for the week is from a visit to the Mysore Silk Factory that manufactures an exclusive variety of sarees called 'Mysore Crepe' in which these beauties are draped.</p><div></div>

<p>Never got to come back and comment last week. Well, some job's gotta pay for the camera, right :) ?<br>

<strong>Jeannean</strong> , <strong>Joseph</strong> , <strong>Lil</strong> , <strong>Finlay</strong> , <strong>Roberta</strong> , thanks for the comment and tips. And Finlay, Dog Biscuits were used... to no avail :)<br>

Last weekend I wanted to set out to shoot some of the Maine foliage, but I had to work Saturday, which was a gorgeous day according to my wife (I never saw the light of day really). Sunday then: rain. Monday: rain. Yesterday: rain. Grey skies all along. So here is the best I got:</p><div></div>
