Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC 2010: #4

<p>Oh, Wednesday again! Having missed last week (credits to the migraine from hell....), here I go again: having a coffee among friends. These two gentlemen are strangers in a strange land - they're Greek, but live in Switzerland, and have their photo taken by someone who's German and speaks Greek... a truly funny coincidence. They were SO nice. :-)</p>

<p >Camera: Nikon D300</p>

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

<p >Settings: 170 mm, 1/500 sec, f/2.8 and ISO 720 (Manual, hand held, VR off)</p><div></div>

<p>So many nice photos already!<br /> Well, as I am busy with a project 365 I have now always something to share. Even if I need to admit that winter coupled with work makes this project very frustrating in getting something decent every day!<br /> What you see here is the Aremberg Castle in Leuven .... in a rare moment of sun in the last freezing and gray days!</p>

<p>Already so many wonderful images. I tried something a bit different this week. A 'still' life, if you will.</p><div></div>

<p>I thought that the late afternoon sunlight and shade did something interesting.</p><div></div>

<p>My picture two threads ago of Audrey got some helpful suggestions so I decided to photograph her again. Availible light D3, Nikon 80-200 ED 2.8, 2oomm, f/4.5, 1/80s, ISO 1000, +0.3 step</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning!<br>

Thanks to Lil Judd and any others who commented on last week's shot. The weather here has been lousy and I have been busy with other things, so here is another shot from Kauai. This fellow was perched on a construction fence when we were out for a stroll. It was taken with a D300, 80-400 mm VR zoom at f8, 1/1000 sec, iso 400, 400 mm, handheld.<br>

Have a very good week, everyone!<br>

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

<p>so many beautiful pictures...</p>

<p>Mine was taken couple of weeks back on a model shoot with strobes. I was part of the group who had organized this shoot. It was wonderful experience and since then I liked my 70-300mm VR so sharp....</p>

Lens: 70-300mm VR<br>

Exposure Time = 1/125"<br /> F Number = F11<br /> ISO Speed Ratings = 200<br /> Focal Length = 95mm</p>

<p>Hello Folks,<br>

Happy Nikon Wednesday! I have been busy with work and have not shot a frame in more than 3 weeks! After seeing Per-Christian's image, I was encouraged to post this. Taken in October of last year. This guy was awesome paying his tribute to MJ. Nikon D200, ISO 1000; 80-200, 2.8 AF; f=2.8 @ 116mm; 1/100s; hand held in existing stage light. Converted to B/W.<br>

<p>Hi all,<br>

Happy Wednesday and good morning, good evening and good night to all of you...<br>

My contriburion for this week is again a pigeon.<br>

Nikon D300 and 70-300 VR @ 300 mm, ISO: 400, <em></em> 1/320, f<em>/9</em> <em></em> <em></em></p><div></div>

<p>Here's a pic of the stalagmites, taken inside the "Olympon Cave", about 60m deep, in Chios island, Greece.<br />D200, handheld, 18-200mm @ 1/6s, f:3.5, ISO: 1600, 18mm.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning/afternoon/evening all!! First off thanks Joseph, for your kind mention of my name on your list of contributors, late last week. I truly appreciate it and as w/ the others feel that your name needs to be there as well. This weeks photo was shot around Christmas, when our cat Stormy decided to pose for me on our kitchen floor and then show the utmost in restraint as I fiddled and fumbled with the SB600 flash, playing with various bounce angles trying to get the light just right so I didn't blow out his eyes. Can't wait to travel the world!! </p><div></div>

<p>It was foggy last Sunday so I was forced to go out and take some photos.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken on the 6th of this month this Airbus A320 of Aegean Airlines, had just landed before us, at Larnaca International, and we were hover taxying in behind it in the helicopter, while it was taxying in to the terminal, which gave me a most unusual view of its backside for a while until we banked off to the right to our landing spot. The sun was almost directly in our face, which gave me horrendous flare, but with some post processing I kinda like the result<strong>. </strong><strong>D700, iso 1250, 1/500, f/18, 70mm on the Nikkor 24-120.</strong><br>

<p>Taken Yesterday. Here at a local Wetland Park. It is truly amazing the human eliments you see when you sit back and watch animals for a while. This Male Great Blue Heron was collecting pieces for the nest and the female would take them from him , and make their "home" pretty. </p><div></div>
