Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #41

<p>Hi everyone! It's WedNEsDAy! Yey!</p>

<p>This one was taken on the same graveyard as my last week's shot, on a bit sunnier day.<br>

(1/250s, F/2.8, ISO 100)</p>

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

<p>I was walking thru the woods looking for bugs and I saw these droplets on leaves and the way the sun hit them they looked like jewels. Nikon D3,28mm 1/1600 F6.3 ISO 800</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everybody, my today's contribution is from my early morning walk, where I was mesmerized by the very dainty looking spider webs.<br>

Thank you to all of you, who so kindly commented on my picture last week. It is much appreciated.<br>

Nikon D60, 55-200mm f4-5.6, ISO 400, 1/1250s, f5 </p><div></div>

<p>Well until everything is settled, I will go with what has been working. Shot yesterday morning, a rising sun behind a great blue heron purched atop a cluster of young trees. These trees were home to many birds just a few months ago, now just a few still hang out regularly. I believe this is still the immature heron that has been there all these months. His nest was there just a few weeks ago, not sure he digs change much. neither do the anhingas that are still partying just below him out of sight. </p><div></div>

<p>On Sunday I was out walking through the Hertfordshire watermeadows and with the afternoon light, calm but curious cows and gentle sound of birds I found it very theraputic. I used my F80, 60mm AF-S and Superia 200 film.</p>

<p>Thank you to those who commented on my photograph last week - I appreciate the input.</p><div></div>

<p>This week I submit the picture I talked about last week.<br />It is a picture I wanted to take for some time and finally got the perfect moment for it.<br />It is one of the biggest and most photographed object ever. The moon.<br />And I know it isn't the best moon picture but it was just something I wanted to try.<br />I played with the colors a bit in lightroom to make it a more unusual picture and I like the results, I hope you do too. I took it two weekends ago at my parents house. I saw the nice half (well quarter actually) moon and ran to get the biggest lens we have, an ancient Novoflex 600mm F5.6 I think (One single lens element and a beautiful aperture). I went to the top floor and placed the long lens (+/-600mm) on a chair (I didn't have any tripod there) and lifted the front with a small pillow. I was hell trying to focus right because that is done with a gunlike grip. But the liveview helped. It was also fantastic to see the liveview, zoom in and see the moon moving across the screen in a minute or so. I made a video too ;-) <br />Taken with the D90 + 600mm Novoflex @ F8 or F11.<br />I hope this wonderful thread lives on.</p>

<p>And now with picture</p><div></div>

<p>I set out 8 sweet potato plants, hoping to get enough for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I got a bushel basket full like the ones shown in this image, with a 67mm lens cap for perspective. Thanks to the Nikon WedNEsDAy thread, I can show them off!</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all,<br>

Good morning, good evening and good night to all of you...<br>

It's Wednesday and I'm happy to be here again.<br>

This is my contribution.<br>

Nikon D300 and 16-85 mm VR @ 26 mm, ISO 400, 1/500, f/11</p><div></div>

<p>Hey everyone, thanks for the comments last week!<br>

I took a whole bunch of photos this weekend at a local MMA tournament, but I'm still trying to figure out copyright issues... so instead of using one of those, here's my shameless pet photo... This is Trixi, more a child than a pet! :)</p>

<p>Hi, just a quickie as dashing off to work. This is from a local bar. Back later to comment.<br>

<p><br /> Good Morning:<br /> <br /> Again, a thank you to those who took the time to comment on my photo last week -- Jeannean, Paul, Roberta, Richard, Joseph, and Wouter.<br /> <br /> This week's photo seems appropriate for this time of year (at least in the Northern Hemisphere). My wife fell in love with it when she saw it at the store, so now's it's in our side yard. <br /> <br /> To help with the still unresolved (?) problem of slow-loading threads, I compressed my image down to under 100K -- didn't seem to hurt it at all.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Nikon World....already lots of fantastic pictures</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning,<br>

The thread is alive. That's good, Jose.</p><div></div>

<p>Wednesday again!</p><div></div>

<p>This one was taken 10 days ago. It is a bit noisy but not because of the high ISO (3200), but due to the use of levels.<br>

Thank you</p><div></div>

<p>Spring is a time for widely varying weather, wind and clouds abound.</p>

<p>Long live Nikon Wed. pic thread!!</p>

<p>Good Morning,<br>

Thanks to all who took the time to comment on last weeks lighthouse shot. This is just something from my front yard at f8, iso 200, 1/20 sec, 82 mm, handheld with the D300 and the 18-200mm VR zoom.<br>

Have a good day, all!<br>

<p>Good Morning WdNEsDAy :o)</p>

<p>This week's picture is "tweaked" from two images merged in PS using picture move, gradient tool etc... and also I learned how to add borders in PS ;)</p>

<p>Both were taken on Monday while on a walking trail nearby, wanted to capture beautiful image of a sunset in a "golden hour" but I saw this house and a sun set clouds. Thought of using PS to merge two different image and obviously "googling" helped me.</p>

<p>This I took at the museum when trying out WIDE, where I found one statue screaming at something while others were standing silent. Hoping to improve from "mediocre" :-) Practice, practice, practice. 105KB.</p><div></div>
