Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC 2010: #1

<p>All,<br>

happy new year and many thanks to matt for stepping up to the watch. <br>

Many snowy contributions this week - here is a snap from lunchtime in Sheffield - the town hall framed by a big wheel which is in town. D700, 35mm f2.<br>

<p>Don, I like it. It would have been great to have a landscape for giving depth, but also in this way it is a nice photo.</p>

<p >Thanks for the Kind words this week. Thought I would comment on a few that stand out for me this week.</p>

<p > </p>

<p >UZAY KISI – For some reason this image makes me shutter, feelings of fear. </p>

<p >JANA HUGHES – Love it, nice position of the spider. The focal plane is just off, but seems like the spider is lurking. </p>

<p >HANISH GRAY – Interesting technique sparks some thoughts. </p>

<p >LIL Judd- The thing I love most about animal is the personality they have, that you only get by being around/with them for a while. Who knows why he was doing that, but it doesn’t matter it is all about the shared experience. </p>

<p >JOE ELROD- Like the lighting, always enhances any picture</p>

<p >MARC HENERY- Love it. Where is that?</p>

<p >KENT SHAFER – Dream like, nice touch.</p>

<p >ROBERTA DAVIDSON – Love the colors</p>

<p >RAY YEAGER – Love the deserted feeling, the foot prints though I wish were not there. </p>

<p >RICHARD KARASH – This is my favorite type of Landscape shot</p>

<p >RICK LARKIN – Another great shot in a line of great landscape shots this week.</p>

<p >ROBERT SCHOUTEN – HOLLY S***, that looks soooo cold. </p>

<p >Also notice we have a lot of R names on these boards. J</p>

<p>Hello everybody and happy new year.<br /> <br /> With so many great photos today, I'll mention only three of you.<br /> There are many more that deserve commenting on, but it would last too long, and<br /> I wouldn't say what I really mean, and that's not fair to photo and to author. So...<br /> Sanford Gerald,<br /> Hamish Gray,<br /> Gary McGhee,<br /> <br /> Great photos, nothing more! Just enjoyed them little more than others. :)<br /> <br /> I took my photo last Sunday, it was nice rather warm winter day on nearby river. It's been snowing for last two days, so this is a nice reminder. I did HDR on it, and tinkered with it in Capture NX.</p>

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

<p>Matt - thank you again for taking on this project. Jose - you did a great job bringing Wednesday Pic to where it is today.</p>

<p>I'm really torn as to which picture to post. I purchased an SB-900 a couple weeks before Christmas. Went out this evening and took some photos of our snowed-in pond at work with the flash set on front curtain sync showing the snow 'streaking towards the sky.'</p>

<p>I kept going back to Matt's photo today, though, along with Peter H's....both showing mixers. I'm working on a portfolio of photos to be used in a corporate web site. The warm fuzzy feeling I get looking at the mixer photo taken in the fall last year won out over the cold, dark, snowy picture taken this evening.</p>

<p>I look at the Nikon Wednesday Pic thread as a way to demonstrate what I can do with my Nikon equipment in my small part of the world. I don't always post a photo that I would classify as my 'best' work. Instead, I usually choose a photo that demonstrates what I can do with the equipment I have with me on a day to day basis.</p>

<p>I really enjoy our Wednesday photo.net Nikon 'trip around the world.'</p>

<p>Thanks - Mark</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone and happy new year to you all<br>

This is my first post even though i have been an avid reader of this forum for a long time<br>

Here is a photo of one of my friends taken in my backyard with a D90 and Nikon 300 F4 lens</p><div></div>

<p>Quick comments:</p>

<p>Matt L - I love the character of old machines.<br>

Ray House - Excellent lighting and pastel colors.<br>

Eric James - I have no idea what I'm looking at but I'm enjoying the shapes and colors.<br>

Jana H - Great concept and color; I might wish for a bit more DOF but find otherwise.<br>

Juhani V - A top-notch portrait with loads of attitude!<br>

Ken Y - Photo of the Week! A brilliant concept executed perfectly; a fresh look at an event that we all think we know quite well.<br>

Phil Burt - That tabby looks comfy on the leather couch!<br>

Ray G - A fun and fleeting moment.<br>

Tim Holte - A beautiful composition. Definitely a runner up. Were you IN those trees?<br>

Wayne W - Nice light and interesting subject.<br>

Doug S - Great expression.<br>

Carey M - Nice use of the mist.<br>

Maurice O - Excellent exposure despite the white and black elements. Skin tone is just about perfect.<br>

Ray Yeager - It would even better without the footprints, but this is a lovely shot of Mid-Atlantic winter light.<br>

Shun - Excellent composition, very sharp.<br>

Richard K - Very well done.<br>

Don Harper - Very soft and beautiful. Another runner up.<br>

Neven J - Okay, that's just brilliant. I think you and Ken will have to share top honors this week.<br>

Mark L. Cooper - Excellent concept and composition. At first I didn't like the motion blur but it grew on me.</p>

 

<p>Like Francesco, I'm also working on a 2010 Project 365. Just a few days into it and I've learned a lot. This picture is from yesterday morning. We don't get a lot of snow in the south and rarely get ice, but like everyone else across the country, we're suffering through a cold snap. This is a picture of my car iced windshield, taken from within the car (sitting on a heated seat and waiting for the heater to warm). :-) I look forward to joining in on Nikon Wednesday each week during 2010.</p><div></div>

<p>Well, well, well! Here we go again!<br /> <strong>Happy New Year to all!</strong> I hope every one is healthy and using your Nikons!<br /> <strong>Matt...</strong> I was surprised to see the thread so early! Thank you!<br /> <strong>Jose...</strong> Sorry I didn't reply last week but I was too busy having fun and taking pictures! Anyway, thank you for the intention to dedicate a shot to me! I wonder why but.... <strong>Thank you!</strong> I just took the liberty of taking half of that black swan! :) I'm sure Lil won't mind!<br /> So.... It is Thursday morning here in Japan and I am back home after a few weeks.... I kept looking at the thread but to be honest I wasn't in the mood to post. I really wish I was still in Europe! Finally I decided to do it coz I don't wanna start the year missing the first thread! So far I have never missed one!<br /> This is an old shot from last year! (Sorry) I think I took it on Dec. 30th in Zurich! :) I decided to try it on B&W coz it was very overcast and I don't like the colors... I think it looks better this way!<br /> Cheers!</p><div></div>

<p>I was over in NYC over Christmas/New Year. This photo is taken from one of the semi-circle cruises during golden hour.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi All,<br>

A very happy new year to all. My contribution is of a female blackbird taken earlier in the summer.<br>

Nikon D200, ISO100; 300mm EDIF AF + TC 14B, f5.6, 1/200.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Nikon Year to All!</p>

<p>We continue the snowy theme this week with a shot of the lights in our front yard a week after the snow, as the year was winding down. As you can see they've started making their own little domains to live in. <br>

Matt, thanks for taking over this wonderful thread.</p>

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

<p>been away from the wednesday pic since i've just returned from two weeks in mexico city and havana. got plenty of plenty of street shooting in -- here's one of fishermen on the malecon. tech specs were d300, tamron 17-50, f/9, 1/320, 50mm, iso 200.</p><div></div>

<p>A snap of our neighborhood. We are moving far away from here pretty soon.<br />Thank Dan South for kind words last week. Good luck in new year everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>A little late, but...this is a shot of Polihale Beach on the west coast of Kauai. It was with my D300 and the much traveled 18-200mm VR zoom at 18mm, 1/160 sec, iso 200, f11, handheld with a circular polarizer.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year!<br>

This picture I took this past weekend while visiting the local museum. It is take with my D5000 and the kit lens (AF-S Nikor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G) @ 18mm F3.5 1/8s ISO 640.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year form Colombia! I took this one from the car as we crossed a bridge on a road trip in Tolima, south from Bogotá. I loved the colors. Slightly cropped.<br>
