<p>Hello Everyone..<br>

A big thanks to all who commented on my photo last week.<br>

Here's another photo from my Northumberland series. It's a pic of Dunstanburgh Castle again but I used a couple of ND grads and hard grads to give it a different feel.</p><div></div>

<p>Hey Everyone! My pic this week is from some homework I was working on with blending flash, 2 SB900's triggered by the CLS, Nikon D300s and 35mm f/1.8. Hope everyone is having a great week!</p><div></div>

<p>Roberta bought up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last week and I really hope that the damage can be contained. Given the size of the disaster, I guess that people on this forum are affected too.<br>

My picture this week follows a somewhat technical and maritime theme. I went down to the harbor to get a glimpse of a visiting US Navy destroyer, but discovered that the whole area was a huge construction ground by now and didn't find the ship. However, then sun peeked out and I got a nice view of a shipyard. These cranes are part of the shipyard.</p><div></div>

<p>My roses are finally blooming...</p><div></div>

<p>Just got my last roll of Kodachrome back from Dwaynes. It's the end of an era (although in truth I didn't use much of it anyway).</p>

<p>I took a short sunset series when the volcanic ash was reported as hanging over our region. Visually, it was rather disappointing, but the camera, lens and film "saw" things slightly differently.</p><div></div>

<p>Spingtime and water droplets.</p><div></div>

<p>a daisy closing for the evening. Fall more in love with the old 105mm every time i use it.<br>

<p>Winkworth Arboretum lies south west of London and is spectacular in spring for its wild flowers and even more spectacular in autumn for its exotic range of reds and yellows in its trees.</p><div></div>

<p>Hey all. Again it's wednesday, and as per usual, the quality of the pics is awesome. Leaves me wondering if I should even post considering the level here.<br>

A few that have caught my eye are:<br>

Greg Kowalczewski<br />Adam Zyto<br />Louis Meluso <br />Grant Tanner<br />Weston Fryatt<br />Marc McCoy<br />Peter Heritage<br>

From my side, didn't get out with the camera this week, so posting an older one from earlier this year.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello all<br>

Last weekend was the closing of Polo Circo Festival. A 10 days festival, with a lot of Circus acts and conferences from all over the world.<br>

The Big Finale was by the french troupe Les Studios de Cirque de Marseille. They presented the show "Place des Anges" (Angel's Square) More than a dozen acrobats, dressed as angels, jumping and and crossing the sky from 10 to 15 stories high buildings and landing in the San Martin Square in center Buenos Aires.<br>

They throw more than 2 tonnes of white chickens feathers over the people.<br>

Part of the show can be seen in the last seconds of this small clip <a href="

These fungi are amanita muscaria, the archetypical toad stool. These particular specimens grow on the fringe of a pine plantation we drive past often - always stopping in Autumn to admire them.<div></div>

<p>Hi to all of the Nikonian community. It's nice to see what you are capable of. Here's one from my last vacation. Hopefully, I'll have time to go out and shout for next week. Please weatherman, stop sending us snow.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning all. Here is a pair of Black Neck Stilts that I managed to capture last weekend at the everglades. D300 with a 300/4 ant TC-14E f5.6@1/800 sec, ISO 320</p><div></div>

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

<p>My contribution is from the garden, visiting often now a days. This is cropped from the series of bulbs. I liked the creamy bokeah and sharp details in the branch as well as bud.</p>

<p>I was at the Tuckahoe steam park near Easton MD and found this steam roller waiting for restoration. The 60s rock group was named after this machinery manufacturer.<br>
