<p>Birkenhead Point, early morning, on Saturday</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks to Francesco, Tiffany, Dallas, Dan, Paula, Benjamin, Rene, Greg, and Janne for commenting on last week's puppy pic.</p>

<p>This was the view from my office window a week ago today, before the recent "January thaw" that wiped out most of our snow and the ice floes on the river. Coolpix L19, landscape mode.</p><div></div>

<p>Matt, Aguinaldo, I really really like your photos! Very different, but very nice.<br /> Today I share something I wanted to do for a while .... be assured I was not driving :-)<br>

<p >Shot yesterday, it was a dreary Winter day and I have a dreary photo. Back in the day, this factory was the lifeblood of our community and surrounding communities. Cheap labor elsewhere, time, and weather (a flood) all contributed to its demise. I wonder what will become of the smokestack, as it has been a landmark for several decades. But life does go on.</p><div></div>

<p>Black and white january walk, classic camera used... Taken in Samobor, Croatia, Europe...</p><div></div>

<p>Good Day to all. Lots of great pics so far. I was shooting a soccer game this week. I turned around to see this little girl was watching me. I love candids but i knew I was using a small aperture, night time, stadium lighting and high ISO but she was so cute I couldn't resist. I love my D3. Can't wait to see the rest of the todays posting. Nikon D3, Nikon 80-200 Ed 2.8, 80mm, f/2.8, 1/250s, ISO 6400</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning! First, thank you to all who kindly commented on my image from Kauai last week. This is also from Kauai, with my D300 and the micro nikkor 105 mm f2.8 VR at f3, 1/400 sec, iso 200, handheld.<br>

Have an excellent week!<br>

<p>There are some great looking photos posted already this morning!<br>

One of the few advantages of this time of year, in my opinion, is you don't have to get up all that early to see the sun rise. Here's what I saw yesterday morning.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning!!! My second post, I'm still learning.. D5000,f/8,ISO200,18-55mm VR DX,SB600</p><div></div>

<p>little friend</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone !! There are some great pictures today.<br>

Here is my contribution. Have a happy shooting.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Nikonians and Happy Wednesday to all! Quite an amazing mix of photos once again. I can't wait to get back to view them all w/ a little more time, later in the day. This weeks shot was taken this past Saturday at Hacklebarney State Park, here in New Jersey. It is one of my favorite places to get away to and I have been coming here since I was a kid. My mission this time was to get some high contrast images that I could play around with in Photomatix, so what you see is my second attempt at an HDR image. Hope you like it. </p><div></div>

<p>Good morning all from SE Ohio USA!</p>

<p>

<p>I had my submission picked out along with most of this text written before Matt started the thread. Believe it or not the text in italics was already written.</p>

<p>The weather here in SE Ohio has been pretty dreary the last week so I haven't been out shooting much. Instead, I went back to October of 2009 for a much more cheerful shot. We <em><strong>completed construction of a couple concrete creek crossings</strong></em> on our farm last fall. This is a shot looking over one of the new crossings up towards our center field. </p>

<p>Naturally, a SE Ohio farm photo would not be complete without a 4WD truck, a cattle dog, hills, and curvy roads and lanes.</p>

<p>If anyone is interested, I've documented this project on our web site at http://auntellensfarm.com/marks-stuff/school-house-lot-creek-crossing . There are so many photo opportunities on our farm I have a difficult time leaving it to go exploring. My favorite pictures on Wednesday Pic are those of other photo.netter's back yards, neighborhoods, and workplaces from all over the world.</p>

</p>

<p>Kent S - great winter shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday around the world from cold Michigan. Photo taken with Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.</p><div></div>

<p>What a wonderful start to another wonderful Wednesday thread! Lovely photos everyone!</p>

<p>My niece came for a visit this weekend and we spent the day at Bentsen State Park/World Birding Center Saturday. A rare bird sighting had everyone excited (Rose-throated Becard). I shot a bunch out there, but decided to post one of the rarest birds of all...my niece. She's the sweetest, smartest 15 yr. old I know. As with many 15 yr old girls, she loves having her picture taken and had fun posing for shots, even though she had forgotten her makeup (which I don't think she ever needs to wear). I got quite a few during the day, but this was my favorite. We spent the "golden hour" down by the Rio Grande River looking across at Mexico. We were both tired by this time and I shot this when she wasn't "posing"...just enjoying the moment. Talk about a golden light. It was a perfect ending to a glorious day. In our busy lives, these are the moments that will last for a lifetime. (D90/Sigma 150: 1/1000, f.3, ISO 800)<br /> </p>

<p>Cattle Egret from the Collections. I love the "mustache" on him, just under his beak. It makes me laugh.<br>

Thank you everyone for the comments last week, as with most of us, this is growing to be one of my favorite things to do. </p><div></div>

<p><strong>Nikkor 28-105 f3.5-4.5 at 28mm and f11</strong></p>

<p>Wonderful photos again. I really look forward to Wednesday. Sorry, I did not get to comment on the photos last week, time just got away from me.<br>

It has warmed up down south , so went out to a local park to try out my 70-300.<br>

I was trying different focal lengths and saw these 2 white ibis . I did not notice the screw sticking out of the one at the bottom at first. <br>

Makes me wonder how this happened to this bird and if it will survive.</p>

<p >Happy WedNEsDAy. After the coldest weather the Gulf Coast of Alabama had seen in nearly twenty-five years, the weather returned to warm and pleasant. I spent a good deal of time shooting a marvelous sunset only to discover the view to the East was equally pleasing. I hope you like it.</p>

</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday from Texas. <br>

What a change in the weather. Last week it was 9-degrees and this week we have already reached a high of 74-degrees. My contribution this week is a gull I captured on my daily walk a few days ago.</p>

<p>I am, by far, not a portrait/people photographer. But, as a 'resolution' to myself this year, I am going to push myself to shoot more people...candid, portraits, what ever...so~ here is an attempt. This is my friend Lisa. She suffers from Meniere's Disease. She has a terrible case of it and struggles daily with these awful attacks. She is a full time/24 hour a day mom to a 4 year old (who is so impressive to watch while she is having an attack). She told me she wanted just one photo of herself that made her look 'half way decent'...I did my best. Being new to people photography, and reading up on all the info and looking at all the portrait galleries here at PN, I see many, many flaws with this photo (and am totally willing to admit this). BUT~ Lisa loves it and it's a start for me, so that's what matters right? I thank all who have previously commented on my entries here, enjoy your day.</p><div></div>
