<p>Lovely work as always. You can tell Autumn is here and how!</p>

<p>I saw this Fly Agaric on Sunday, fresh from popping up through the forest floor. I used my Nikon F3, 35mm E and Superia 200 film. I look forward to seeing all the photos in the coming weeks, but in these shorter and darker days, I am finding it difficult to finish a film every week so I will have to bow out of entering weekly for a while.</p><div>00UvCa-186853584.JPG.9160bcae34f4b863f28c1aac1259c5b9.JPG</div>

<p>Hello all, good morning<br>

A coupe of weeks ago, my wife went to Lisbon and got me this beatiful Swatch. I couldn't resist but to photograph it.<br>

This time I didn't take a picture of the setup, but for the strobist curious: The watch was held on films canisters on each end of the bracelet and had a SB28 @ 1/32 on a translucent umbrella, camera right, roughly 1 foot from the watch, and 2 feet above. Camera front, below watch, is a white paper reflector. Black craft paper as background. Triggered by Cactus V4.<br>

Camera info: D700 | Nikon 60 f/2.8 AF-D Micro | Tripod<br>

<p>Great beginning of the thread as always. I feel so bad, I've not been able to comment over the last few weeks. I've been very busy with my ill horse & though he's improving - I still spend a lot of time icing his leg & giving him meds.<br /> So please - thank you to those who were kind enough to comment on my Snowy Egret last week & no - I did not see the bird catch anything this time. But it must work as I know of several people who've seen that behavior.<br /> My husband took over caring for my horse one day over the weekend so that I would be able to get out & photograph a little. So I spent the day visiting a location I've located earlier this year.<br /> I happened to locate this Black-crowned Night Heron hiding in the shadows within a tree as it was fishing from a high advantage point. The water reflected these amazing plays of light over the bird's chest & this is one of the shots I got from that. Processed in between NX2 & CS3. Shot with the D300 & the 300AF-S f/4, Sport Metering -1.0 EV, 1/250s f/8 EXIFs embedded<br /> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/v3/p338286422-5.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Very nice photos so far! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. I'm going to throw a curveball this week and post a photo from my Halloween party this past Saturday. I desaturated the colors some to take the brightness off his face and hopefully, balance out the photo more. I'm sure next week, I'll be back to my regularly scheduled bugs, but I wanted to post something different today. (Taken with my D90/55-200mm VR, 1/50, f5.6, ISO 200.)</p>

<p>A further note: While visiting Minneapolis, we saw the "Masterpieces of the Louvre" exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. One of the masterpieces was this student drawing by Leonardo da Vinci: <a href="http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Leonardo-da-Vinci/Study-of-Drapery-Giclee-Print-C12264166.jpeg">http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Leonardo-da-Vinci/Study-of-Drapery-Giclee-Print-C12264166.jpeg</a></p>

<p>Do you see any parallels with my picture? (No. I didn't either.)</p>

<p>Good Morning WedNEsDAy :)</p>

<p>Here is a picture of a Halloween setup done at my work. We had a competition for Halloween Decoration and divided into 8 teams. Everyone took part into decoration with so much enthusiasm Judges had to declare "tie" between all teams and we all will have a pizza party this Friday :)</p>

<p>This was taken with Nikon 35mm f/1.8G using matrix metering.</p>

<p>Model: <em>NIKON D40</em> <br /> ISO: <em>800</em> <br /> Exposure: <em>1/20 sec</em> <br /> Aperture: <em>2.2</em> <br /> Focal Length: <em>35mm</em></p>

<p>I'll comment later but wow, it gets better every week. Great shots guys.</p>

<p>Again, shamefully, not much from me this week, I just do not get out much these days.... picked up a TC-201 at our local photo store for s steal and had a few chances to play around with it and my 300 f/4. We had a recent warm spell and our Roses like it.<br>

<br /> Thanks to <strong>Issac</strong> (more detail this week!) and <strong>Paul</strong> for their comments last week.</p><div>00UvEH-186893684.jpg.3daa66532e1cc0f142ea3aba1d35f900.jpg</div>

<p>Hi,<br>

It is quite a study. Using Lightroom or ACR and the curves of Photoshop I'm trying various B&W conversions this week. My aim is to go further in B&W and develop an own continuous style. It is difficult. But aren't all things that are really worthwhile difficult in the beginning? About a year ago I had an expositon in an art galery, everyone was enthousiastic and I sold quite a few prints. But If I look at those images now, I am not happy with them. To say the least.<br>

This one is taken underneath a long bridge in Holland (for the Dutch people here: De Zeelandbrug).</p>

<p>Hello again,<br>

Indeed it seems that if you are responding later to this thread you will get rewarded with some (already posted) very nice photographs.<br>

Last week I told you that I went to a small village in Germany called <em>Hell </em> ("Hölle"), which is not ugly as hell but a very beautiful place surrounded by wild nature. So this is a picture from there - a picture from <em>Hell.</em><br>

<br /> <em>MS Keil</em><br>

<em><br /> </em><br>

Some of these especially attracted my attention:<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=499258">Jose Angel</a> The person seems to contemplate<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2301406">Rene' Villela</a> there's something to it :-)<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=943565">Aguinaldo de Paula</a> taken at the same location where you've got in trouble with the ticks? Anyway it's beautiful<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=380477">Luis Argüelles</a> ¡Qué pasada de perspectiva! Very original!!<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3670956">Eric Arnold</a> Blue woman group :-)<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=127625">Sanford Gerald</a> I've got a disk from Sammy Davis Jr. with nearly the same photo (yet with Sammy). Very "Jazz"-like<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4768482">Alejandro Held</a> Very nice viewing angle<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5060764">Joseph Leotta</a> Crazy people who run 42 km or so...I'd rather take a bicycle ;-)<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4714311">Tom Mann</a> Impressive colors!! In this way it's a special photo<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=945968">Ian Rance</a> eating this one gives you new "views" of reality (if I am right at identifying)<br>

<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2418329">Lil Judd</a> Very nice against the dark background<br>
