Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #42

<p>This week my picture comes from my back yard.</p><div></div>

<p><img src="http://www.photo.net/photodb/member-photos?user_id=5662548 " alt="" />This is my fist picture withmy new camera. I'm just a girl who likes to take pictures, I have no idea about the science behind it...</p>

<p>Holy Wednesday to everyone,</p>

<p>Javanese Muslim ladies at their Eid El-Fitr (end of Ramadan) worship in Paramaribo, Suriname / South America. I captured my photo three weeks ago. Converted from NEF using Capture NX2. Many cheers you to all. Friendly Regards,</p>

<p>This photo was taken at Clearwater Beach Pier 60. Right as it is from the camera.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello to everybody. This is a photo from Barcelona.</p><div></div>

<p>From the "Pumpkin Festival" near Three Points, Arizona. Fall is definitely here in the desert SouthWest -- temperatures were just 80°F! Full afternoon sun made it hard to hold detail in the sky/clouds which were almost blown out. Some highlight recovery there in Lightroom.</p><div></div>

<p>Last Saturday I ventured out to the Great Salt Lake to take some landscape shots. The clouds provided some beautiful shadows on the terrain and there was some quality light still at mid-morning.<br>

After my first stop I travelled down I-80 a couple of miles to a view area to get a different angle of the lake and Antelope Island in the background. As I was preparing to take some more photos I noticed that the Union Pacific was coming from the northwest right into my frame. I took a number of pictures as it passed by and was very pleased with some of the results. I picked my favorite one to post today. The train made for a much more interesting shot of the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island.<br>

<strong>Gary</strong> - Nice twinkle picture. Very well framed.<br /><strong>Sjoerd</strong> - Your roller coaster photo caught my eye and I was drawn right down the track.<br /><strong>Matt</strong> - Very nicely composed photo with puppy and breeder.You really captured a moment.<br /><strong>Dieter</strong> - Wow! Nice action<br /><strong>Ertugrul</strong> - Beautiful picture. I love photos that share ones culture.<br>

There were many other nice photos. I just set a limit to comment on five of them.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Alex Foto..</strong>. OK! You made me go to take a look back on last weeks thread! I didn't know what you were talking about! C'mon! There is no reason to apologize. I never thought anything wrong about your comment, instead I was glad that you mentioned my shot! Thank you for your kind words!</p>

<p><strong>Matt...</strong> That's just beautiful! </p>

<p>Great pics everyone! Here is a favorite of mine that I just shot a few days ago. I was shooting snapshots of my son when I decided to throw the camera behind my back and snap off a pic to see what I got. I love the resulting image of my wife. I'm suprised that my 17-55 lens was able to focus this close, I love this lens!</p><div></div>

<p>Dog Days of Summer,taken last Thursday it's been raining since .....<br>

Nikon D300, Nikon 180 F2.8</p><div></div>

<p>Local grape growers got caught by an early cold snap while irrigation systems still active.</p><div></div>

<p>Wonderful contributions everyone. I don't see a change in the format or maybe I missed a thread/resolution. So, I'll just do it as I've done it...</p>

<p>Alejandro...Great Zen use of the shadows/reflections that may deter other photogs...really beautiful!</p>

<p>Marc...original and observant. I love the fresh perspective</p>

<p>Gary...gorgeous. Lovely colors....somewhat surreal. I am reminded of Neverland.</p>

<p>Dave...wow...what a spectacle. Sweeeeeeeet!</p>

<p>Aaron...lovely tones. Very mysterious. I feel like I am sharing a secret.</p>

<p>Aguinaldo...gorgeous! All of it...DOF, framing, perspective, color....just a fine, fine shot.</p>

<p>Matt...sweet light, sweet portrait...sweet pup</p>

<p>Peter...Welcome to our wednesday! It looks like you caught a winner....great face!</p>

<p>Mike...Ooh! Aah! Really beautiful spot and wonderful translation to us.</p>

<p>Tony...great shot. I really love the yellows mixed in with the subdued tones.</p>

<p>Here is my contribution....shot a couple of weeks ago, but I just got the okay to post it from the lovely mama.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken during a visit to London Zoo's reptile house, this little guy was such a poser. D700, iso 3200 to give 1/125 sec at f/5.6 on my Sigma 70-300 from behind glass.<img src="http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/eurocypria/DSC_2127.jpg" alt="" /></p>

 

<p>What an enjoyable day WedDEsDAy is.<br>

This one is from last Saturday -</p><div></div>

<p>D300, 24-70, pop-up flash</p><div></div>

<p>Alejandro - I really like your shot of the Pontiac hood ornament.<br>

Lil - your images always inspire me . I really like the sharpness of the bee contrasted against the dream-like softness of its surroundings.<br>

Jeannann - Beautiful close-up. Those spines are tack sharp!<br>

Hamish - I think the brown tint on your image makes it seem even colder. Good shot.<br>

Aguinaldo - I really like your lone tree amid all the sunflowers.<br>

Paul Gorky - Like your bee but that is closer than i would care to get to one.<br>

Doug Santo - Nice shot of the Hummer.<br>

Tony Hadley - Very nice landscape.<br>

Chauncey - Very nice portrait of your wife. I like how she looks so relaxed.<br>

My image comes from the Island of Maui and is of the north wall of the Haleakala crater.</p>

<p>Such great work as always on this thread. My humble offering stems from going into an antique shop. I opened the door. The bell rang. The owner did not look up. Had a look round and opened the door to go out. Again the bell rang. Thought a nice image. Asked if I could photograph him. He said yes without looking up. Not sure what the book he was engrossed in was.</p><div></div>

<p>I started to clean my garden for winter. It's always handy to have camera nearby.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, the level is just incredibly high today. Too much great shots to go into detail (for now at least), but a big thanks to all who posted so far!<br>

Mine is more or less an attempt to try some new things. I'm not sure myself yet if I like it, but it's all I've shot this week, so here goes nothing.</p>

D300, AF-D 35 f/2; 1/500th, f/4.5, ISO400. Slight crop, converted to black and white with a bit of colorisation in Capture NX2.</p>

<p>This was part of an impromptu studio shoot in my kitchen using a couple speedo heads and my D80. Post work done in Aperture 2 and CS4.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everybody!<br /> <br /> Another Wednesday is here, and another bunch of great photos. My favorite for today is Tiffany Brook! Great job!<br /> <br /> My photo for today is from last Saturday when I and friends from photo club went to Samobor city in Croatia on a trip. And here it is how it look's when bunch of guys with cameras come across a reflective surface. :)<br /></p><div></div>

<p>There is an old grain mill just a short distance from where I live and next to it stands this tree. Many little children love to swing on it. Long ago a train would come out and pick up it's goods. The train and tracks have been gone for more than 30 years. The mill is going to be torn down, I sure hope that the tree survives.<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday to all! What an incredibly beautiful and diverse assortment of images today. My contribution is an image taken at a wonderful general store/deli in Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard. People gather here for coffee, lunch, and the latest happenings.</p><div></div>

<p>A hunting stand at sunrise near Casole d'Elsa, an hour west of Siena, Italy. Cinghiale (wild boar) are plentiful, but this stand is for the small red deer that inhabit the forests and fields. Lots of pheasant and rabbits too. Beautiful area.</p><div></div>

<p>Here is mine for the week. Have a great rest of the week all</p><div></div>
