Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC 2010: #3

<p>OK. It's been awhile since I've posted any pics anywhere.<br>

So, I just finished fixing this photo that I took last weekend after me and kids had played with face paints. I had this nice mask on, so I tried my first flash umbrella and it was pretty nice. I had the umbrella on the left and winter daylight coming from a window on the right. Crop, vignette and little fixing made with PS. Hope this came out well?<br>

ps. Thrilled to have my new D200 today. =)</p>

<p>Hello everybody,<br>

Thank you Dan South and Greg Kowalczewski for your comments on my photo last week. <br>

Last Sunday I went to the city to do some street photography, and straight away in the parking lot I saw this beautiful Rolls Royce and I couldn't just look at it, I had to photograph it. Jose, sorry for shamelessly copying your idea from few weeks back, here is my contribution for this week. My 4 year old son loves it, so there is one happy viewer already :-) The Rolls Royce also had mini wipers on the front lights, this provided never ending happiness to my little son, as they looked very playful. <br>

Shot with D700, 85mm f/1.8; ISO 1100, 1/160s, f/1.8</p><div></div>

<p>Hello all! My picture this week is from this past Saturday when we had sun for a little while here in the Pacific Northwest. I had just recieved my new Sigma 10-20mm they day before so I was really excited to get to try it out. This was taken at Mukiltio Beach Park in Mukiltio, Wa. I love this lens!! It has great contrast, color and sharpness.</p><div></div>

<p>Nikon Wednesday Pic, where every contribution is a winner! <strong>:-)</strong> I thoroughly enjoyed last week's thread!</p>

<p>This is a Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo which appear in small family groups of 3 birds to to 20 birds or so our gardens for 9 months of the year these days, they eat mainly native tree seeds but love to introduced pine tree cones/ seeds too. I stalk these big birds in the garden with a handheld 300mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor they are quite private birds and rarely allow me within 20 metres, this one obliged nicely by taking off from a distance but flying right by me......</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all , glad to be here again ! Mine was taken with D3 + 24-70/2,8G at 70mm , ISO200, F4, 1/125 :</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks, Matt. For starting this thread so un-American early.</p><div></div>

<p>My beautiful grandson Atticus...took this image after performing the "workflow" of a diaper change...posting early today</p><div></div>

<p>What a great selection of pictures already on a foggy morning in Rotterdam, NL<br />Thanks Gej Jones and Mark H. for you comments last week.</p>

<p>Not even midnight here in California - and already 35 entries. Thanks to everyone who commented on my image last week; very much appreciated. I felt like playing around with lighting this week - natural lighting through a window to be exact. This image of my trusty 28-year old Nikon F3 (originally with the DE-2 finder which I replaced around 2000 with a DE-3 (HP) finder) was created by directing and modifying the light with the wooden shutters in front of the large living room window. D200 with Sigma 150/2.8 at f36, 25s, ISO 200, -1EV exposure compensation.</p><div></div>

<p>I have followed this every week for months so thought I should join in...</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone..<br>

We had a Go-Kart event organized by the firm I work at last night. In between driving the kart and watching the progress on the screen, I had a few opportunities to take some photos. This was the first time I got to take photos of a motorsport and was looking forward to it. With the poor lighting around the track, it proved to be quite a challenge but I managed to get a few decent shots. Here's a picture of one of the guys in the winning team.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken early in the morning at the Jurubatiba Natural Reserve, near my town, last sunday.<br /> It is not a HDR.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots by all.</p>

<p>Epp ... great mood.<br /> Arthur ... incredible DOF.<br>

Aginaldo ... great sky, looks 3D.</p><div></div>

<p >My shot is of Jelena Dokic competing in the first round at the 2010 Australian Open on Monday night. The match was played with the roof closed (raining, this time last week it was 42ºC) on centre court of Rod Laver arena in Melbourne.</p>

<p > </p>

<p >Camera: Nikon D300</p>

<p >Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8G IF-ED<br>

Settings: 155 mm, 1/1000 sec, f/2.8 and ISO 1400 (Manual, hand held, VR off)</p><div></div>

<p>I had the opportunity of using my camera at a very interesting performance.</p>

<p>D700 @ Hi2 (25600ISO eq.), 14bit RAW, 24-85AFS (62mm), f5.6 - 1/60sec. Processed in NX2, noise reduction applied. Actually the RAW file is impressive, I expected to get almost nothing under this extreme lightning conditions. The pic perhaps have somekind of "romantic paint" look, for sure I should have worked a bit more on it.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning all<br>

It's been a while since I've posted a Wednesday picture. <em>Oh the shame - Futurama's Dr. Zoidberg voice</em><br>

Since the last time I posted, many important things happened in my photographic life:<br>

-Shot my first wedding and it went great<br>

-Started my own business as a wedding and commercial photographer<br>

-Put <a href="http://www.fotografamos.com">my website</a> online<br>

-Started a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/petterpictures">Project 365</a>, where I take a picture everyday, not every week! =)</p>

<p>Anyway, one of the pictures this week was yesterday's self portrait.</p>

<p><a href=" framed and pressed the shutter.<br />strobist info: SB28 @ 1/16 @ 85mm in an umbrella camera left | white 3ft reflector camera right | snooted YN460 @ 1/2 gelled green | setup <a href="

camera info: D700 | 50 f/1.4 AF-D | 1/250 | f/8 | ISO200<br>

<p>I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to comment for last week. Many wonderful entries so lets just say I love all the shots. And to those who commented on Kyrie's photo - thank you so very much. Unfortunately tonight I've had issues with my internet connection - probably due to the rain.... <br>

So this time I'm simply offering a bird again since that's what I do most of the time. This time I offer the most elusive Sora - bird hard to find & not cooperative at all. Tends to sulk in the reeds & not want to be photographed. It's only 8 3/4" or 22cm - which is large compared to many of the birds I've presented, yet a lot smaller than far more I've presented.<br>

Sora's are hard to locate & very reclusive. I was treated to a huge treat in this.<br>

<strong>D300, 300mm AF-S f/4, Kenko 1.4 TC, Handheld</strong> hanging over the rail of a bridge in a marsh area - yes this is a crop. Could not use the Sigmonster for this... Larger version can be seen here & I hope you'll enjoy.<br>

<p>Another GREAT week! Love the pics so far!<br>

Winter Eventing in Ocala, Florida shot with D700, 70-200, f2.8</p><div></div>

<p>This blue wheelbarrow sheltering from the snow in the entrance to an old stone barn caught my eye. It begs many questions I think.</p><div></div>

<p>Well I'm new here but here is a shot of my oldest daughter</p>
