Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC 2010: #12

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone. I love Wednesday's and the journey around the world.

Still playing with the water. This yellow/orange daisy just spoke to be about spring.

<p>On travel this week, so here's a shot from the ton of snow we got in DC in February. The orange cast is from the sodium vapor light that was peeking past a wall as I retraced my steps.<br>

<p>First of all, I would like to thank these people for their encouraging comments on my pick last week: Arthur Richardson, Tiffany Brook, Peter Rafle, Filip Lucin, Ray Yeager, Alastair Anderson and Gej Jones.<br /><br />A very busy week both at work and at home so I did not really shoot any good one. But I have to keep the streak alive so I called on my trusted model, Pinochio (for those who had hanged around here long enough, you may have seen his face beore) for a quick and dirty portrait session in the basement. The truth is I was testing a new lens I got and somehow I am quite fond of the lighting on his face. Hope I have something more worthy of posting next week.<br /><br />D3S+135mm DC and SB900; Shot at 1/250s, ISO200, f4<br /><img src="http://cameraface.smugmug.com/photos/818098598_JqCyX-X3-1.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p >As for last weeks bird: Isaac, Catalina Pelicans are pretty tame it seems, but having 200mm and a crop sensor helped.</p>

<p>Hi everyone and happy WedNEsDAy! Beautiful shots again from everyone!</p>

<p><a href="../photo/10841594">Here's</a> two of our "office puppies" who hang in our office every now and then. This shot was taken in a brief moment of peace, seconds before they started to run around the office floor chasing each other. Oh, and thanks to Tiffany for your comment on my last week's PiC - I always admire your portraits, including the one in this thread! :)</p>

<strong>Nikon D90 + Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 (@ 35mm, f/3.5, 1/80 sec, ISO 1600)</strong></p>

<p>We had 11" of snow in Denver last night. Here is a picture of some snowy swings I found this morning.</p><div></div>

<p>Budding aspen trees. A sign of warmer weather (hopefully!!)<br>

One day before we got a wonderful foot of snow in Colorado last night!</p><div></div>

<p>Older granddaughter reading to younger one, picture was in color changed to B=W.</p><div></div>

<p>This is my first post to photo.net after quietly lurking in the background since last December when I finally entered the world of Nikon. As usual the quality of everyone's work is extraordinary. For my inaugural post to the WedNEsDAy PiC I give you Marley, who showed up at my door a year or so ago and is now part of the family. For lighting I used a home-made soft box fashoned by lining an empty diaper box with tin foil, duct-taping an old t-shirt over the top, and stuffing an SP-600 through a hole cut into its side. That was hand held and connected to my D5000 by an SC-29. Ugly, but it worked.</p>

<p>Here is mine for the week. This was taken at a friends birthday party last wednesday. Some color correction in PS.</p><div></div>

<p>i'm taking a break from the birds this week to show some wildlife of a completely different type: my 3-year-old great niece. how do i get talked into these things? one thing i can say is the range of emotions and expressions that one observes after only a few short moments is truly staggering... here's a bit of seriousness...</p><div></div>

<p>Hackberry Canyon, Utah, located in the outback of the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument. If you don't have any luck getting a permit for "The Wave", you can drive your high clearance rig north on 40 miles of back county road, and end up at Kodachrome Basin State Park.
