Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC 2010: #7

<p>photo shoot yesterday, experimenting with DoF in a dimly-lit bar. d300, sigma 30/1.4.</p>

<p>This is Tasia. Tasia is an indoor cat and this is her first experience with snow. As you can see, she is thrilled (not!).</p><div></div>

<p>More bird watching from the deep shade for me after a week of sweltering heat and humidity in S.E. Australia. I never tire of watching these New Holland Honey Eaters - this time taking a bath in the later afternoon. </p><div></div>

<p>Hi,<br>

Some urban scenery this week. In a small city called Goes, in the South of Holland.</p><div></div>

<p>For me a new type of tree - have only seen it one time</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everyone! Thank you very much for all your comments two weeks ago.<br>

This was taken partway through our climb last month in Scotland. The chandelier of ice gives a real sense of the steepness of the ice at that point, an effect I find very difficult to achieve. I've had to crop the image quite aggressively as I only had a 12-24mm with me that day. For those that ask, the rope is locked off with my left hand in order to take the shot.</p><div></div>

<p>From last weeks hike in the mountains. Minus 13 degrees, no wind, almost full moon, the crackling of a big campfire and the occasional call of a night owl. Nothing takes away the stress of a busy week better than this.</p><div></div>

<p>Lot of nice photos. Tiffany I love the shot!<br /> Since I am in an experimental mood (and I like to share experiments here), this week I have taken a shot through a clouded window that I wiped a bit in the centre (keeping it wet). The idea is to create a bit the effect of seeing cold from inside. Sure photoshop, lensbaby or similar can do it. Still I like the effect I got here.<br /> D700, HDR f/2, 50mm<br /> <img src="http://thefoodtraveller.smugmug.com/Portfolio/TFT-fotolog/DSC9391234567Enhancer/788834052_heeyY-L.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

Thank you Ken Yamamoto for a comment on my picture last week.<br>

There are real gems here this week, Gej Jones' photo had the WOW factor for me, plus some more, but I will comment at the end of the week. <br>

This week my workspace background, I have a wall with books behind me and I kept looking at it thinking, that one day I will photograph it for Nikon Wednesday. <br>

Have a lovely week.<br>

<p>Good day everyone! After a few weeks I can post something updated. This was taken saturday at the old-city-wall of Nürnberg, southern Germany.<br>

<p>Holy Wednesday my dear Nikon colleagues, </p>

<p>I appreciated for Linda McLellan and Douglas Mosman's wonderful words to my post last week. Thank you.</p>

<p>Chinese New Year celebrated in Suriname too. My photo taken during traditional lunch at the Ngie Kong Tong Sang complex, which remains the oldest Chinese-Surinamese society. You may see some more photos on my blog post <a href="http://www.ertugrulkilic.com/blog/article/23/chinese-new-year-2010-celebrations-in-suriname" target="_blank">Chinese New Year 2010 Celebrations in Suriname</a>.

<p>The rain/overcast/fog (also known as San Francisco's winter) finally broke this weekend and motivated me to hit Golden Gate Park to see what changes all of the moisture had caused.</p>

<p>Good morning to everyone !. Thanks to Filip Lucin, Steven Ford, Paul V. Gorky and Ken Yamamoto for commenting on my last week picture . Now, I want to post my friend's child self portrait ...</p><div></div>

<p>Whilst out searching for snowdrops to photograph this weekend, we had a dusting of snow which helped set them off I think. I used my F3, Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Micro and Fuji Superia 400.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all,<br>

<br />My daughter of 3 and a half years when she was showing some dance movements for a show they were practicing at school. I will be sharing one more next week.<br>

<p>Good morning to all. Its still cold here in Fl. but no snow. Thanks for all the comments on my photo last week. Tiffany, such an adorable little girl. I love this portrait. Hamish I just love the camping photo. Your photo captures so many things. Mine is an old photo from a fishing trip with my kids. I have shot 5,000 sport pics this week and have been too busy to be creative with a new pic. This Egret kept landing on our boat trying to get a free hand out.

<p>Lovely quality as ever this week. Three really stand out for me, they are :<br>

Bogdan Nicolescu - great texture, made me wonder what the snake was thinking.<br>

Raaj Kovinthan - beautiful use of a single light, simple and uncluttered.<br>

Dubravko Grakalic - like the contrast between the shape of the umbrella and the steeple. That ISO 400 texture works for the scene. Great shot.<br>

My contribution this week was shot in January of last year.<br>

<p>Oh, another Wednesday already! Greetings!</p>

<p>Thank you Joe Elrod, Linda McLellan, Jeanne Hauschild, BM Mills, Thomas Gerstendoerfer, Gej Jones, Richard Karash and Ken Yamamoto for your kind comments of last week.</p>

<p>Winter still has us in his grip, but today, after the carnival, the rain has started. Nevertheless, we're getting used to seeing snowscapes and bleak days longer than we thought possible.</p>

<p>Ian, you're having snowbells already? Great! Mine are just poking out their noses, but so far, it's been too rough.<br>
