<p>Well, it was another week where the camera time involved a litter of puppies. Believe it or not, I <em>do</em> shoot other things. Still, here's a six week old pup checking me out while I was setting up the lighting. I wasn't done yet and had the backdrop light way too hot, but he was a willing test victim and thought I'd keep this one (the photo, not the puppy!).</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everybody, lots of beautiful fall colors today - here's mine from a new D700.</p><div></div>

<p>I give up. The quality of some of these photos is just too darn good. The bar is set high. I feel like a beginner when I look at some of these. There is an amazing amount of talent out there.<br>

Its unbelievable how good Wednesday is getting </p>

<p>First and foremost, thanks to all who commented on my image last week - very much appreciated. Am kind of late to the party today, but the thread wasn't open when I went to bed a bit after midnight.<br /> Here are those that caught my eye today:<br /> <strong>Hamish </strong> - nicely done HDR<br /> <strong>Justin </strong> - excellent race shot<br /> <strong>Alejandro </strong> - what a location; that sure is a lot of water<br /> <strong>Lil </strong> - never seen that - was it successful. I did see a snowy mimicking the behavior of a reddish once.<br /> <strong>Aaron </strong> - very moody portrait<br /> <strong>Monika </strong> - Gillenfelder Maar - I grew up about 20km from it. Would have expected much more yellow already this time of year.<br /> <strong>Eli </strong> - LOL, works for me<br /> <strong>Eddy </strong> - beautiful portrait<br /> <strong>Maurice </strong> - captured the essence of the guitar man beautifully<br /> <strong>William </strong> - perfectly caught squirrel<br /> <strong>Matt </strong> - OMG, what a cute puppy. Sure looks like it was rather skeptical of you and your doings. FOr sure my favorite for this week.</p>

<p>This might be one of the most photographed junk cars - situated in the ghost town of Bodie in California. D200 with Tokina 11-16/2.8. HDR processed in photomatix. Sky of the 0EV image added in PS.</p><div></div>

<p>Camera: Nikon D300<br>

<p>I'm on a business trip, so I just drop in to say "Hi!". There will not be any photos from me this week, but next week.....!<br>

Lots of good pictures here already!<br>

(No, my Nikon is not with me on the trip, just a P&S from "the dark side" :) )</p>

 

D40 Tamron 17-50 f/5.6 1/500 ISO 200<div></div>

<p>Hmmh, I always though Nikon IS the dark side...</p>

<p>Finally one with open eyes during day time</p><div></div>

<p>Okay...every single one of these images is noteworthy. I wish that I had just a wee bit more time to comment on everyones. I had to narrow it down ...</p>

<p>Jose....I love this. I think it's my fave of yours so far on this thread. But Halloween is a soul thing for me. I love the softness combined with the...uh...not so softness (>8</p>

<p>Justin....Niiice! pow...crisp, clear. Terrific angle. Terrific everything</p>

<p>Francesco...clever frame..great story.</p>

<p>Alejandro...I don't know...it still really works for me. You have successfully conveyed the day. I hope the equipment is okay.</p>

<p>Lil...I love the light. I can almost feel the sun on my back. Great peaceful moment.</p>

<p>Aaron...great portrait...revealing and well done</p>

<p>Jonas...just gorgeous!</p>

<p>MS....perfect treatment...I just LOVE it!</p>

<p>Aguinaldo...It paid off. You have an amazing piece to document your perserverance.</p>

<p>Kent...haha! I love the captures of life's daily humble humor.</p>

<p>Eddy....lovely ...I really have a thing for that autumn backlight...one of my weaknesses. really pretty stuff.</p>

<p>Adam...very interesting....the subject and comp. Unusual and working really well....hmm</p>

<p>Marcos...fabulous moment...angle, colors...BRAVO!</p>

<p>Jim...love where the winding path takes my eye. lovely capture</p>

<p>Rick...great shot...Ruby looks super in green</p>

<p>Rodger...wow! very cool presentation</p>

<p>Matt...one heckuva fine portrait. I love everything about this dog. Seriously posing for you.</p>

<p> I have shot a lot lately, but this one is near and dear to me. The Decemberists are one of my absolute faves. Last time we saw them, I didn't have a camera with me. This time, I had the camera, but not the right lens...oh well...I got a few with my sluggish 4.5. This is from The Kennedy School (one of the most amazing venues I have been to) in Portland Oregon, where The Decemberists played a Halloween show for kids (and their grownups). This is Colin Meloy.</p><div></div>

<p>D700, 24-70 f/2.8.</p>

<p>Here is one I took a few weeks ago at my Hometown Homecoming. I don't remember the meta data, but it was taken with a D70 with the 17-55 2.8 lens. Great pictures today everyone!<img src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs202.snc1/6919_1117247778928_1458990210_30279872_7074808_n.jpg" alt="" width="402" height="604" /></p>

<p>@Eric James, you've just got to tell us more about the windy sunset image!</p>

<p>So much fabulous photography here already!</p>

<p>This week some fast fading fall colors. Great images everyone. I did not have time to look at them very cheerfully but I'll do it tonight.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken on 10/25/09</p><div></div>

<p>Ofer - that just has to be the sweetest baby shot ever. :-)</p>

<p>Bret, great picture. BTW, it's Jupiter. Venus is never far from the Sun, both in space and observed from Earth. That is, you'll never see Venus, at, let's say, midnight.</p>

<p>Luis, thanks for your kind comment and the astronomy lesson. Cheers to all for another great Wednesday!</p>

<p>It's WedNEsDAy again at last!!!! I agree completely with Joseph Leotta's views but I will not adopt the same action. I post my humble shots here because it's fun, because some people may enjoy my photos, because I can learn stuff from the other photos and the comments and finally because it gives me a sense of belonging - Yes I'm a Nikon user too! On to this weeks submission I decided to change a little and post one of my gig shots since most of my photos are live band shots. This was taken at an album launch by Twenty six other worlds, a local metal band. Nikon D200 + 50mm F1.8 @ F2.8 ISO 800 1/60s (Available light - no flash).</p><div></div>
